I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adam Anas.

Welcome to the You'll Hear it podcast.

Today we're going to talk about how to play out.

Like how to play outside, out of doors, right?

No, I think more outside of the changes, I think we're talking about.

Oh, how to play out.

Okay.

Yeah, how to play out.

Why don't you kick this one off, Adam?

Yeah. So, I mean, the first thing that we usually talk about when we talk about playing outside is dissonance, right? That's what we're talking about. We're talking about playing

outside of the diatonic chord changes of whatever tune you're playing in. Now, the easiest way

to do this, and the first thing that most people will tell you, is to go outside chromatically.

So if we're playing in, let's say, C minor, for instance, what we can do is play a phrase in C minor and then play a phrase in, let's say, D flat minor, which is a half step away.

And then back to C minor.

Now that also works if we take that phrase and go a half step below to B minor.

So we can play in C minor for a little bit, play in B minor, half step below to B minor. So we can play

in C minor for a little bit, play in B minor, and then back to C minor. I mean, remember,

when you're playing out, we don't want to play out the whole time. We want to take it out just

for a bit, just to kind of make our listeners go, ooh, and then we want to bring them back

in. So we're playing in C minor. Go to B minor. Back to C minor.

Back to C minor.

Ooh, oh, thank you.
