[Chromaticsketches]

Some people just CAN'T give compliments..."sounds like this...blah blah..." - who cares! this dude can play! PERIOD!.

"Good artist copies, GREAT artist steals."

[jaretthale78]

yeah. this sound like he's ripping it off the first guthrie orange jam...?

[stolendata]

the guitarist is Royce Whittaker, if anyone is wondering

[PIMPZproduction]

i hear some guthrie govan

[FRsleepwalker]

@PIMPZproduction I think it's thebacking track from his Orange Jam ;)

[KrazzyKripples]

music is a combination of sound frequencies that tend to sound pleasant to the ears, if your solo sounds good dont worry about modes.

just practice until you understand and notice the intervals between each other and let your ear.. and your feelings do the rest :)

An easy way of not getting "boxed in" when learning scales is to learn the scale on one string at a time. For example for E major scale, you would play on the low E string frets: 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, etc. Learn the scale across each string, then you can solo from any starting point to anywhere on the fretboard.

I am tempted to learn this.

[Ins4n3Guit4rist]

what scales should i learn? and how to i keep from being limited by the "box"? D:

[jfo3000]

@Ins4n3Guit4rist A nice easy way to start sounding a bit jazzy is to riff on the Dorian mode. A simple way to visualize this would be to play on the D major scale over the key of E minor. Offset the scale in a similar manner depending on what note you are playing over. Have fun!

@Ins4n3Guit4rist practice arpeggios up and down the neck in different positions. dominant 7, min 7, maj7, and m7b5

@RickInRock84- it may not have any poosay beebop or swing elements but everything about this is fusion.

[RickInRock84]
