  • Hey guys!

    Recently I recorded a backing track which I could use to work on my altered phrasing, so I came up with this one.

    We will focus on 4 different scales and modes: Dorian, Lydian Dominant, Diminished Scale and Superlocrian.

    It's nice to learn how to play "out" in order to put even more ideas while improvising.
