Hi Doug,
Thanks again for your help finding this quote. I remember dragging the words over to my computer many years ago, but I never thought I would need to cite its source in a book. Nice save!
In the book, we are footnoting you and your Google drive address as the current source of this information, unless you object.
all the best,
Steve |

I believe this is what you're looking for. I clipped this from either Ernie Renn's site, or the Forum. I think it's from the Forum given the format:

In Reply to ? for Buddy. Playing outside by John Lacey
John, Up to the time I heard Pat Martino I was playing more or less "the tuning," which sounds very much like your reference to pentatonic, etc. I could play inside as you say with speed and ease but never with what I thought sounded like an intelligent approach to solos. For some strange reason Pat's scales seemed to open the door for me to a world that was already there and I didn't know it. His substitution of the G five minor seventh chord for C seventh solos was a scale I had played before but never associated it with a minor. Now I use the Bb major 7th (5th fret, strings 1 through 9) and C9th position (10th fret, pedal 5 pattern) for both Gm7 and C7th solos. Of course this is probably the tip of the iceburg for what you were inquiring about, but it is a good start on key substitutions. It allows you to sound like you've learned something new when all you've done is played an old pattern in a new location.

What a can of worms! That 'Ask Buddy' clip is almost certainly where I remember seeing the reference to Metheny. I had never seen that page that Doug so diligently researched.
Much appreciation for everybody's efforts!

Fish;
You probably should've asked me first...
