Jazz Funk Licks

Hey mate, I will try to give you an answer regarding this, based on my perspective on things You don't have enough time to emphasize the modes you stated, although they are correctly assumed in respect to the relationship with the chords. The only approach would be to play the exact characteristic scale degree of the mode played over the chord that spans over the shortest time and then maybe emphasize notes from the mode that can be played over the next one Or you can just stick to the indications and don't bother with playing with the changes. It's all up to you. So remember, there are two approaches - play the Dorian or the blues mode or the other approach, in which you follow each chord change. This one is more difficult, because you have to choose wisely in respect to the notes you throw in, based on what you want to emphasize Hope this helped!

Hi Stephane
I would like to know more about the context of the licks , looking at the backing track the keyboard seem to perform a Csus4 and B7b5 chords in the third and forth beats . Does C mixolidyan and Bb Lydian b7 scales fit in those beats as well D Dorian and D minor Blues?
Thanks

Hey Rico - this also happens to be one of my favorite lessons from Stephane! Thanks for the nice thoughts!

Hi Stephane,
thanks a lot for this lesson, sounds great and will help me to go forward !.

hello deanwork - you can download the GuitarPro file - above the backing tracks, as it contains standard notation

Hey Stephane, Where do I download the PDF of the standard notation for this Jazz funk lick. I don't see it as an option. I don't read tab. John

Nice licks! the 7 8 10 7 8 10 run should be 7 9 10 7 9 10

Im really enjoying these. It's hard to find lessons in the style of John Scofield.

very nice lesson stephan. your technique is wonderful and sooo smooth. that's the point we have to be at in order to move around fluently. thanks so much for such great stuff.

hi Stephane I liked that lesson since it's on dm7 what other chords progression can I had to it

Great lesson Reminds of Lee Ritenour occasionally

Gr8 lesson Some great playing on there and cool licks. Gonna try and give it a go

Sounds really cool, great lesson

Very tasty! Now, this is something I would like to listen to, if it was a full track (which would be a great idea)

More, please!

Great Phrasing, It was a big pleasure for my ears, can't wait to hear more from you

Ps: There's a little "mistake" in video 2's tablature in the beginning... it's -7-9-10-instead of -7-8-10-

Beautiful playing Stephane, you're doing an awesome work , this one goes directly to my bookmarks and I promise a video with my take a.s.a.p.
