It's quite amazing." - Roger (USA) "I have never seen this explained this way. . . . I like how you broke up the pattern into just chord tones and their extensions! . . . Also- Never knew the connection with the altered scale as a pairing either... Some of these sound files you recorded remind me of early Frank Gambale & Larry Coryell vibe/ tones." - John Taylor (Canada) "I'd also like to take the opportunity to congratulate your excellent method. It greatly helped me to develop my jazz improvisation further (I'm saying this after having played and studied the guitar for over two decades now...). So thanks a lot for sharing your approach!" - Werner Hei (Austria)
