In the video here, I show how you can use a standard E minor pentatonic scale to create a cool jazz- voicing.

I learned this technique directly from guitarist Robben Ford, who first learned it from Miles Davis keyboard player Robert Irving III while they were touring together in Davis’s band.

I like to call this “Robben Ford’s Miles Davis Lesson,” but whatever you call it, it’s a great concept for any guitarist to have in their repertoire.
