A lot of it is Pentatonic based... especially the runs, but... there's also other stuff going on there too. And... obviously he's got the best pocket... EVER! But... I'm not shying away from the challenge! Give me time to think about it!

On another note... no pun intended... as many of you may or may not know I studied with Gary Willis a few years back. One of the most useful lessons I had with him was a his break down of which pentatonic substitutions he used when soloing over Blue Bossa. In fact I think it spanned over about 2 or 3 lessons with him. for my next tutorial I was thinking about going through this exact lesson with you guys and breaking down exactly what he told me.

Would this be of some interest?

lemme know...

Ez,

Scott.
Yes please scott discuss this..

I had no clue you can switch to different pentatonics and stuff..

Usually when i solo over a tune or blue bossa.. ill just stick to one pentatonic scale the whole solo... like c minor or something..


More lessons on pentatonics please please!!! We love pentatonics

Thanks for the clue. My guess was that it was a funky muting technique like a scrunchy. I'm glad that it keeps you playing.
