MATT SCHOFIELD

FAR AS I CAN SEE

The combination of chordal and pentatonic ideas is integral not just to Matt’s solos but his chord figures and embellishments. Check out Clean Break to hear this in action. The Day You Left also clearly displays how comfortable he is mixing CAGED/chordal and pentatonic approaches. You’ll also hear this happening fast on the uptempo swing of Everything; the harmony and chordal structure is there, but you’ll hardly, if ever, hear a whole chord explicitly played.
