The Locrian-Lydian Exchange
Please take a brief moment to consider this scenario…
After a substantial amount of time practicing your major II-V chords and scales, you finally decide it’s time to do the same with the minor II-Vs. Next thing you know, you’re confronted with 2 of the most frustrating scales to master: the locrian and the super locrian (a.k.a. altered )! The bottom line… Their confusing combination of half and whole steps drives you LOCO! 🤪
I don’t know if the above sounds familiar, but in all honesty, it’s been my experience as well as that of hundreds I know. So in this new lesson, I’ve decided to share several hacks that will enable you to experience what I like to call a Locrian Paradigm Shift ! This will not only help you better understand the application of these scales and their related chords, but will also provide a new perspective if you already use them!

This is a an amazing concept. Would it be possible to also have your improv for practice.?It would make it easier to put everything together
Thanks Paul! However, I don’t have my solo transcribed. It was improvised on the spot.
This is a great presentation. Some truly beautiful music lines are involved. Many of us will need to put on our thinking caps to understand this material; however, this lesson includes a wealth of material that we can practice. And the resulting sound is totally worth the effort. Once again, Richie has gone out of his way provide some amazing material
Thanks Duncan!
