About this masterclass
In this masterclass, Jay Umble connects the entire guitar neck from the dominant 7th perspective, working through the key of C7 (C7, C9, C11, C13) position by position. He covers five positions in depth — around the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, and 13th frets, roughly 15 minutes each — so you're not stuck soloing in your favorite spots.
What's covered
- The ii minor perspective — using the "parent minor" (G minor against C7) for inside lines
- Major triad up a step and down a step, including the B♭-over-C sus/11 sound
- Stacking and flip-flopping triads (B♭ and C) up the neck for strong melodic statements
- Playing off the chord and targeting chord tones, with visualization techniques
- The importance of intervals in building lines
- Inside / outside ideas, plus implying progressions (C7 – Dm – G7 – C) within a static dominant chord
- Symmetrical ideas
By the end, you'll have dominant-line vocabulary in every region of the fingerboard and a clearer mental map of how the positions connect.

Using C dominant and its related parent minor as a core concept, Jay brings us through an assortment of ideas for generating hip dominant lines. <br /> <br /> Superimposed triads, sideslipping and various other inside/outside concepts are also covered and presented in an easy-to-understand manner. Most importantly, many of the licks are transcribed in the accompanying class materials in jpg format so you can print them out and work on them away from the computer.<br /> <br /> It would help to have a pencil and notepad handy to make notes as you watch this video. There's a wealth of great substitution ideas here! <br /> <br /> And did I mention that Jay's playing is absolutely killin'?
Jay has a lot of great ideas for playing over dominant chords including triads,side slipping and targeting chord tones.Everything is explained very clearly and with excellent examples.This is an excellent Masterclass.
This is a very well presented great class. Jay gives examples of linear and triadic phrases over dom7 chords all over the neck of the guitar. I highly recommend.
Jay Umble er en ekstremt dyktig og raus lærer og litt av en personlighet. Og har du sansen for det han kaller moderne sound, så er hans kurs det du trenger. Han har også skrevet flere lærebøker. Boka "Payin' Your Dues With The Blues" (MBGU Jazz Curriculum) er det beste jeg har sett på jazzblueskomping. Kan du akkordene dine, så kan du spille igjennom den på en dag. Et must!
This course covers the same material I am working on with my teacher. The concepts Jay provided augmented my regular lesson material in a very helpful way. Jay has a knack for explaining complex musical ideas in a way that enabled me to fit them into my own approach without that feeling of just copying someone else's ideas. He gives away everything. Very highly recommended.
This is my third Masterclass of Jay's and they all are first class.Not only is Jay a first class player but a first class guy.If you listen to what Jay is saying and take the info much farther into your own playing you will get alot and I do mean alot out of this class.<br /> With best regards to all and many happy hours of study Michael Z (mike51)
