“In The Style of Pat Metheny“ - CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Pentatonics Uncompromised) - short excerpts

CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Pentatonics Uncompromised) Get the Book (TAB and standard notation HD Tutorial Video backing track) here: For all books and publications please visit: This is the fourth part of my “Chromatic Methenyisms” book series and here I present to you different ways in which we can apply chromatic melodic ornamentation (in the style of the great guitarist Pat Metheny) to the minor pentatonic scale. The accompanying video tutorial contains a detailed description of the articulation and phrasing of all pentatonic methenyisms presented in this book. I believe there are hundreds of different ways we can take these melodic lines and make them our own by using different approaches for their execution and articulation so I invite you to experiment with your own approach. Keep in mind that once you have the different chromatic methenyisms presented here under your fingers and can comfortably execute them over the entire range of the instrument, you will be able to apply them over a wide range of different harmonic structures as the minor pentatonic scale is one of the melodic tools that has the most diverse application when it comes down to improvisatory vocabulary. You will be able to use this type of phrasing over minor, major, dominant (regular and altered), half-diminished and fully diminished chords. I will be covering more examples of the application of this melodic ornamentation technique over basic chord progressions in future publications. Materials Included: CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Pentatonics Uncompromised) book (PDF file - TAB and Standard Notation). 40 minutes detailed HD tutorial video on architecture, articulation and phrasing.
