Hello, teacher. I have followed your channel for a long time. I would like to ask you a question. When I am improvising, I often use the last one or two note to develop the next sentence, when I see many other musicians playing they often use repetition or sequence to develop the sentence. When I practice, I always turn a short sentence into 12 tones for practice. So a lick usually only appears in a specific chord. How do I improve my practice? Thank you

It doesn't really exist as a stack of 3rds in any of the "normal scales" because the scale would have to have 3 half- steps next to each other: 3 4 b5. But it is possible to construct already in a major scale and most other scales.

Jens, another amazing lesson. I think you could create an entire book on just this material - inside-outside sounds in jazz guitar. I was always fascinated about certain types of outside sounds and wondered how it was achieved - the 7th alt and diminished sounds seem to be the answer. Understanding these concepts seems similar to studying chess - I imagine a first goal is to get these types of concepts under the fingers through a lot of practice in at least one key.

The most important skill to master for this is probably just being able to improvise clearly and melodically over chord changes. Then you can add other chords when you want to go outside.

If I had one suggestion to get across even more information it would be if the chord interval numbers were included below the staff, directly below the tab number. Because while the fretting information is definitely helpful, it really only matters when I'm playing the riff, but the interval information is pretty much universal and helps to watch the video without a guitar. If I quickly know the riff is b3-5-2-b2-1, then I can employ that in other positions and octaves. I can also sort of hear the relationships in my mind and know where the dissonance occurs. Of course, I understand that I can just do this myself for each example you show, and I just might, but I do wonder whether that information would help others too. As always though, thanks for your great content!
