I purchased this and it is like an entire sub-category of Bebop soloing! The gift that keeps giving

Agree 100% that this is the "GOTO" scale for many jazz improvisation challenges. It took me a long while to apply it to a wide variety of chord progression situations "on the spot" instinctively. The trick is to see the chord name and automatically visualize where the nearest  (potential) start note of the melodic mode is located. Easier said than done. Thank you.

Good lesson.  My brain likes formulas lol

WOAH! this is a heck of a trick, man. I'm really excited to try this out :-)

I like that super melodic

AWESOME free lesson!!! Thank you Richie for sharing this lesson. You THE man!!!

Damn, sooooo many possibilities this lesson shows us! Thnks Richie.

Nice thinking and explanation. I play intuitively but love having things put academically.

Enlightening

Another fantastic lesson.

You know that common progression where you begin on a minor triad and then the root descends in half steps till the chord becomes a minor 6th chord? (In walked bud, sentimental mood, funny valentine, etc). Well, I remember the lightbulb moment I discovered I could use just one melodic minor scale to blow over all of that harmony from start to finish. It was like BOOM! And it is still my go-to option when I need to relax on that part of a tune.

Nice lesson! Thank you very much! Uaauu!

Excellent content!!!!

beautiful guitar!!...

Awesome

Thanks sir

Another brick and that wall m, the modern jazz, and so clear and applicable. thanks Richie

Bravo Maestro! Thanks Richie! Makes perfect sense. I concur.

Always useful Richie thx

Great lesson. thank you!  Neat explanation of lines with retrograde playing.  Your solos on SBS and GFI using MM scales are sublime!  I have to transcribe some of that Stella solo you did around the 4 minute mark, it's JAZZ!!
