What's New: Scott Gates on Ellen


	"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

May 14, 2009 | Scott Gates on Ellen

We met young California picker Scott Gates at a Michael Lewis gathering a few years ago when Scott was just a pup. Just a heads up that the prodigy has been picked to play mandolin in an upcoming episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show. He will be backing up the legendary comedian/entertainer, Steve Martin who will be on the show promoting his new CD "The Crow."

The show will air on Memorial Day May the 25th; check your local listings for the time.
