Here's a bit more Rhône-Alpes festival small hours stuff then
https://youtu.be/9MADCBYCXZ8Strict approach to rythm, and fluid use of ternary rhythm. Straightforward here as Chabenat's Impasse mazurka is already 9/8.
The riff is modal |: Em C Em C :|: G D/F# F Em :|
Scales sound … Blues (Em pentatonic with Bb passing note) and some dorian bebop? Yes, you need to practice yer scales too. Norbert often hangs the 9
th of the Em scale. That's F# - yes?
And as the chord changes to C the F# becomes the #4 passing note of the C Blues scale or Characteristic note of C lydian. He can "from there" either reslove it, or stay in tension playing either C blues, or C lydian scale CDEF#GABC.
Note how Stef
stops playing tune and assists, swithchingbto |: Em9 C :| chords, played "flat"
In the B music I hear … a chromatic run (echoing the bass line)? And quite a lot of D mixolydian, that's D with a C natural, ie D scale played on the G row. Not exactly rocket science?
Apart from the chromatic run, and the Bb accidental in E blues scale this ALL plays on a British standard D/G 😉 Main rows!
[edit] … Lot's of "silence" in there too? And finish on a cool note. He's picked the 9th again, F#.😎 A D (m7) would work too. Bb would feel more jazzy. Finishing on E - that ain't cool 😉
