![]() ![]() This is the direction I am sort of gearing myself in. So what I am saying is that we can achieve a sophisticated sound even staying in the key, but adding in flavor notes from other scales or modes or keys. What alot of great players and teachers have said (and I believe Brian has said this as well) is that we can actually stay in the key of the song and even mostly rely upon pentatonics but just add or sort of pepper in flavor notes from other scales and modes. The question is, does it actually sound better? That’s what I am trying to determine. Yes I can see where this becomes more sophisticated and complex by completely changing the key. In other words we completely change the key with each chord change rather than just staying in the key but playing the notes of that particular chord. I actually figured this out recently, after posting this. ![]() Thank you Enrico I appreciate you helping. Talking of the future, I would just like to wish you and your family, also all members, a safe and healthy next few months during these difficult times… take care everyone! Since doing this I have been amazed at just how intertwined and overlapping they can be…in fact, since learning how to find alternative positions using triads within the cage system I haven’t played a straight forward open chord for months! Also, I find that I hardly ever hold a full chord down anymore, preferring instead to create runs, riffs, and triad chord sequences all over the neck with exciting results… so this lesson is tailor-made for me Brian and I look forward to similar lessons in the future. Wow! This lesson couldn’t have arrived at a better time for me… this is exactly what I’ve been playing for the past couple of months… lots and lots of triads using the cage system, combining minor and major pentatonics, and best of all, discovering triads that are more or less on top of each other, that even share similar notes in some cases, etc. This is a long term goal, so lets all plan to stick around a while longer. The massive shift is occurring across the planet. I learn so much from this site so thank you for everything My Brother. 02 eh? This is useful for beginners, but this is not beginning material. Add your passion and the sounds in your head. bends, vibrato, hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, trills….you are golden and you are a player my friend. If you have your embellishments down i.e. However, when you have that AHAHH!!!! moment, your mind will be blown. Anyhow, I’m obviously being somewhat facetious, but just recognize that this concept does take a higher level of commitment than other systems. The payoff….separates the men from the boys. Just like anything that you try really hard at. Oh, and the Major scale with the 3rd, 5th, and 7ths. You might as well just memorize all the notes on the neck. Locate the roots, the cords, and the scales. ![]() Remember that stuff? Start with a pattern of the neck. One thing about CAGED for me….it does require study. ![]()
