Awesome lesson! As a swing blues player, I'm always trying to bring in outside licks, so this hits perfectly.

Tim

Such a cool sound. Never realized before how many different contexts it works in. Somewhat addicting and I’m sure to play it to death for a while. Thank you!

David Lockwood

Beautiful guitar playing Alex! Top drawer!! 👏

Rob Bright

Great lesson. I’ve always had trouble getting the ‘outside’ sound to work. Great explanation and examples. Brilliant 👍
