John Coltrane Bundle

This Bundle contains the 6 meticulously prepared resources that dive deeply inside the music and spirit of the great master John Coltrane.

1) THE JOHN COLTRANE PENTATONIC

 In this resource we take 5 notes John Coltrane played on his stunningly lyrical solo on  'Wise One ' from his Classic 'Crescent' album and use them to construct  an abundance of fresh, inspiring challenging practice material.

This 'new' 5 note Pentatonic is unique as it features the optimistic Natural 6th and the emotional 9th of the minor (unlike the traditional minor Pentatonic), making it perhaps more exotic and unusual.

The unexpected melodic shapes the Coltrane Pentatonic note yield provide a wealth of challenging material for the player who hungry for new sounds.

The most amazing thing about the John Coltrane pentatonic though is the number of chords over which it can be played!

• It trains us to be able to play a tune in any key, as once we know the number/melody relationship of a tune we can translate this to any key, (provided we know the numbers of each note of the scale in all the 12 keys of music)

Included in the download

The Triad Pair system is an incredibly powerful tool for the improviser to master. 

 John Coltrane's agonizingly beautiful tune 'Wise One ' from his Classic 'Crescent' album provides the inspiration for this tutorial.

We take some of Pianist McCoy Tyner stunning harmonic ideas and use them to construct triad pairs which we then interpolate on a static minor chord evoking different sound emotions.
