@ZomBLord Oh, now I get what you were saying. I thought we were talking within the context of scales. Yes, I agree; without scales, I would be unable to play fast, and thinking through the notes would not be an option.

[ZomBLord]

@TheExiledTexan Phrases, yes. But individual notes are hard to think through, and play slowly. I'm sure you experienced early on what I'm talking about, sightreading a song from classical notation or tablature, playing one note at a time, and being unable to hear the song behind the notes.

I think through phrases too, but it's always, E minor run at the third neck position, or play such-and-such a pattern down a scale; it's never the notes. Which is why it's hard to slow down.

[TheExiledTexan]

@ZomBLord I disagree. As a lead player, I have found that I improvise the best when I actually think ahead a bit about the next phrases. If I just let my fingers do all the work, I fall into a rut, playing the same phrases that I have been playing for years now. When I think ahead about the notes, the solo comes out fresh each time.
