that's fucking crazy. never even thought of that and I've been playing for 6 years. granted I'm self taught and don't know shit about theory lol but this is rad as fuck.
He sat in for my teacher in a fusion class... just slaughtered all of us. It was an amazing experience. We all just stood there with big smiles and jaws dropped while this dude tore us apart.
That was the most useless thing I've ever seen. Play melodies-stop trying to sound "cool" It will last longer and when you get old you won't look back at a lot of wasted time.
@ronjazz1 Might i recommend a book entitled "Harmonic Experience" by W.A. Mathieu Its a practical book that traces the evolution of harmony beginning prior to the development of equal-tempered tuning systems. It's a book one must work through by singing. It is by fine tuning one's aural perception that the infinite possibilities of melodic expression are revealed. Not finger gimmicks. If indeed you feel stuck the only way to get unstuck is by increasing your aural perception. Good Luck
@lsmith869 i'm guessing your playing sounds as narrow minded as your opinions. why not investigate options even just so as to hear your instrument in different ways?
@Jalbertmusic I do. I'm currently working through George Van Eps Harmonic mechanisms volume two. I'm also analyzing the 371 Bach Chorals and trying to relate them to guitar. I have a bachelors degree in music, and I practice aural skills daily. I listen to both Jazz and Classical music some Afro-cuban and African music. I enjoy Javanese Gamelan, and the Music of India. Again let me state LEARNING A BUNCH OF FINGER GIMMICKS ON THE FRETBOARD IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU A MUSICIAN,
@lsmith869 thanks for the resume. some of us like including wider (angular) interval leaps into our lines sometimes... doesn't make it not a melody (or useless) just because you don't dig it... yet.
@Jalbertmusic Ok thats good. Might i suggest melodic patterns as an exercise. Ted Greene (a personal favorite of mine} Has a chapter on melodic patterns in his single note soloing volume two book that covers just about every useful interval configuration in a melodic pattern. Nichols Slonimsky's thesarus of scales and melodic patterns is another good one. That is the one that John Coltrane is said to have spent a lot of time working from. Check um out. Good Luck in your music.
@lsmith869 I'll check that out. I see we're more on the same page more than I initially thought. I'm all about soulful melodic playing (gotta sing it to play it, etc.) and not one for gimmicks (though i'm not sure this qualifies as such since it's not super comfortable) but I do enjoy using the instrument itself and creative ways of viewing all-too-familiar patterns as a tool for stretching my ear. Besides, Oz is mad soulful and pretty tasteful with his use of really heady shit like that.
sweet jesus! I think he got this idea from Nicholas Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Pattern (either directly or indirectly from someone else who got it from Slonimsky). Oz really kills it here in a way that I haven't heard from any other electric player yet, though.
So THAT'S what he's doing during those displaced lines he plays. I used to practice this technique but never had the vision to use it in a totally hip way. Oz rules. Thanks!
Oz is my idea of a pioneer that isn't limited by what anyone else has done! He has his hero's like Jimi and Coltrane but mainly as inspiration to explore and discover vast new lands! His use of effects like using a stutter accent with a vibrato stomp, layered echo with chorus and rotary with layered scales like this are game changers for the guitar. And what's so cool is you get the feeling he is just getting started.. Pay attention Sach and Vai, Oz is movin up the bar!
hes talking to the interviewer who's to the side. its a weird camera angle at first but bews stations do it all the times when theyre out an about interviewing people on the street.
unconventional as can be i like it. definiately requires some thinking to get this going. don't know if i can program that in to the brain. muscle memory i guess.
you won't be good until you've practiced it a lot, even if you practice something else, it won't help you as much in this exercise as just doing this exercise, it will train your string skipping skills and your fretboard knowledge a lot
it's normal to suck at the beginning, it's a very awkward exercise and that's the point
