It's best to look at it and let the theory rattle around the mind for a while. Every once in a while it will work it's way to the surface and tiny "Eureka" moments happen as a result. IG posted a very useful 6 minute, blues, play along track in the key of E this morning, very good of him to do that. If you download that and start playing some E blues licks, get into a trance like state, and every once in a while try playing a B minor lick.... Sans, there is a lot of information to digest there.

Not that long ago I started thinking in terms of lead scales superimposing notes onto chords and hence altering or exending them just as you explained. One thing that I keep coming back to with a work friend of mine who started playing about a year ago is the concept that lead guitar (or any instrument) are contextual in that you can play something that sounds awful in isolation, but when placed in the context of a chord sequence can sound great... all that tension/release stuff. Bear that in mind when you're listening to sequences using headphones and jamming over them with the amp on 11. To you it sounds great... to the passer-by it probably sounds nothing at all like music! <em>Kenski's last blog post..<a href='http://fillmorefive.blogspot.com/2008/05/interview-upate.html' rel="nofollow">Interview Upate</a></em> What’s funny to me is that when playing guitar and learning about music you keep coming across ‘eureka’ (or D’Oh!) moments.

We only have one rule on that; Harp player can't be asking the drummer what key is the cross for G. I think they screwed up when they started calling "classical" music, "serious" music. Takes away the comedy element. I'm sure you are aware of the comic potential of the oboe. Bring back the real deal cartoon scores. Thanks J, Feel free to come sit in on harp anytime man.

Lots of budding musicians (and some older ones) don't get the concept of "balance". That's the problem we had in the 20th century with most of the "classical" composers.
