Hi Emil, First of all, thank you for this lesson....really tasty licks, especially the 'outside' jazz ones! When you are working with the altered scale, do you actually think in terms of the altered scale or do you think in terms of the melodic minor a half step above? In other words, do you think that it is best to just memorize the altered scale? Also, where do you have the action set on your Maton? I have the action set pretty low on mine but it looks like yours may actually be lower. Thanks again! Greg

What Guitarists Are Saying

“Thank you for posting this fabulous tutorial and rendition of this timeless classic. A healing song to hear you play it, but then being given instructions on how to play it, is above and beyond. Thank you. The harp like harmonics are heavenly and adds to setting this version apart from all others. You are a man of endless talent and a man of your word, for doing this. Blessings to you.”

“Such an unbeatable joy to have found ProGuitar! That might sound excessive but I assure you that it is not. Emil's music contributes to a seemingly insatiable appetite to develop musically & the ProGuitar lessons are the best I have found so far.”
