This week I've got a question from Gary in California who asks, "What are the most common scales used in Gypsy Jazz?" I know this is a very common question from guys who are learning to improvise and in the video I give my honest answer and opinion. I actually only ever think of two types of scale 1. Major & 2. Minor. This might sound too easy and over simplistic but that is the way I think of scales in relation to the chord changes. Bottom line is I don't improvise using scales as you must remember scales are scales and always sound like scales - NOT music. The other question I get a lot is "How do I make my scales sound like music?" Easy answer - Don't play scales! What I do strongly recommend is learning each step of both a basic major and minor scale and learning the way it sounds. Think of each note of a scale as a color and hear/feel what it makes the music sound like. They are all different of course and you can choose the sound you want to create by using that step of the scale. If you burn up and down scales then it will sound like it. If you want to be creative and make music then use each note meaningfully. Have fun and please let me know if you have a question you'd like me to answer for you.
