I've reached a new level of guitar-playing ability

I make music with FL Studio, and sometimes I'll just create something short of amazing, and then other days I can't come up with anything.

I use to use the same thing.

I shat bricks when I learned how to solo on the pentatonic scale. Seriously, look it up and screw around with it a bit, it's really easy for beginners and it makes it really easy to just bust out a bluesy kind of solo and impress someone who doesn't know shit about guitar. caterpie;

I love playing pentatonic. But I prefer harmonic minor personally.

Or dorian mode.

[Selkie]

Yeah. Sometimes I get in a strange eclectic, detached mood, and usually if I play instruments I pop out something amazing, like I'll sit down on my drums and start doing crazy syncopated stuff I never thought I could, or 10 minute long jazz solos on sax that are perfectly in key, with hardly any concentration.

Exactly. It's just a realm you enter sometimes, where your entire body and mind are just focused on the playing, and you can nail every note with perfect harmony and ease.

try minor-major/jazz minor/melodic minor ascending (scale of many names). great scale, it's built completely out of fourths.

try the 6th mode of that, superlocrian.

Exactly. It's just a realm you enter sometimes, where your entire body and mind are just focused on the playing, and you can nail every note with perfect harmony and ease.

It's more like completely focused on the actual music (rather than playing), and the sub-conscience commands the physical playing bit.

Myself, I find that I sometimes resort to my subconscious over certain changes, it's weird.
