No Solo !!!

Just a bass & perc loop with some guitar "Hypnosis" good to play along with. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6155406

 

Thanks Harry J and Woody as you can hear its not a track as such just a errr mood!!! that ticks along..............thanks for listening.
:BEER

 

Thanks Joseph actually I can really hear you playing over this doing your "Sparks Of Lydian" thing. (I love that track of yours) :AOK

 

Cheers Woody........as far as the writing it was Bass Riff then a chordal melody thing taken from another track of mine that was in D min (dorian) and slid down a half step to E Maj (lydian) then more chords and fills. A three note chord is a big one for me.
Check out Jzucker,s post http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=337607 It covers every chord in this track it could have been about me !!!! #7th post :AOK

Thank you so much Joseph but I can still imagine you playing this. As far as the groove......well I did play in an African band for sometime years ago. But I don,t think it came from there. (Its just a British thing !!!)

Wow hey Jack that would be a cool thing !!!

Thanks for the kind words....errrr sorry about your room !!! :BEER

 

Hey Tex thanks so much thats a really nice compliment.........Cheers. :AOK

 

The melody contains a very useful really safe note arpeggio. You can use the same pattern in 4 different areas. Just slide it down, so this will work on the 7 modes of the major scale Ionian etc.

The melody has extra notes this is just the naked arpeggio.

----14---9------------------------------------9-------
-------------12--------------------------12-----------
-----------------11-----------------11---------------- JUST REPEAT
----------------------14---9---14---------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------

So you could start it on the 16th fret, 14th fret, 11th fret and 9th fret. Its really important to play it on other groups of strings to get the total freedom. I,m sorry if this is to simple for all of you guitar dudes but sometimes those simple things can spark off something amazing.!!!

 

Thanks London!!!.............. My 5 year old boy couldn,t stop dancing to this as well. He calls it "kartoffel music"!!! (he speaks english and german and a bit of music)

 

I think most people would probably play this across the strings (without the wide stretch) but my fingers work in a funny way, I can,t sweep or pick really fast I hold the pick like a pencil so there is alot of movement which is not good. So I tend to play with my hand really stretched out most of the time and my little finger just whips those strings. (its not a pretty sight)

Just read your edit............OMG how embarrassing you probably have most things coverd in your books, tapes and videos. Had a look at your website and I,m so glad to see you are doing a DVD ....great news.
