He (you?) sounds really cool, but I can't get to those lessons, they're in a ".rar" format and I have no clue what those are. Please help me, I'm dying to see them.

I realy like the "pentatonic" substition ideas!!

here's a pretty basic one that doesn't take a lot of theory.called targeting.

if you are playing 8ths,16th,32's or..... 16,384ths

1.play 3 notes 4th one is the target note (chord tone,scale tone..)
2.notes have to be within a 3 frets distance(step and a half) from the target note.

example
A 7th riff(A-C#-E-G) ...4th to 1st string 1 finger per fret...

F#-G-G#-A
D-B-C-C#
F#-F-D#-E
Bb-A-Ab-G

On this the "real " target is the "G" because I would hold that note... but the other notes lead to it by outlinig the A7th chord.Since it's basically a pattern.there are endless combinations and phrasings to play with it.

A good way to get these under your fingers is to practice every combination of 1-2-3-4...then just superimpose over chord shapes and voila!!!......okay maybe a little (LOT!!) more..


Targeting frees you up from thinking scale patterns...of course you can use any rythmic group to accomplish the same thing.Definetly the most "common" denominator I hear for the out sound used in dixieland, swing, Bop to fusion....
