Trying to calculate a different scale for every single chord at 200 BPM is a nightmare—but it doesn't have to be. In this lesson, we are breaking down Pat Martino's legendary Minor Conversion System—a foolproof method that actually makes playing through fast jazz changes easy. By converting complex progressions like ii-V-I's and Turnarounds into simple minor shapes, you can completely remove the math from your soloing and just focus on making great music. We will also dive into Pat's book Linear Expressions to show you exactly how to extract and apply his vocabulary to your own playing so you never run out of ideas. I'm playing a Heritage 530 (with Lollar Pick-ups) and using Stringjoy's flat wound "Flyers."
