Title: I've reached a new level of guitar-playing ability
Post by: Selkie on December 12, 2007, 05:16:54 PM
So to anyone that plays an instrument, or for this matter, basically anyone that ever does anything creative (write, draw, etc.)

Have you ever just like jumped, without even any practice, a level of skill and been whoa....'d by what you just did?

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;


Most solos are based around a basic scale, particularly blues scales, anyway. So it's not really that surprising.

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.

Happens to me all the time. It's just a natural occurrence when you're playing more intuitive styles of music like rock and jazz rather than, say, classical.

Did you just say rock is more intuitive than classical? psyduck;

Oh, intuitive. For some reason I was reading that as "complex". psyduck;

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 love playing pentatonic. But I prefer harmonic minor personally.

Or dorian mode.

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.

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.
