blues is like

i dunno
more fun than speedrunning, that's for sure
also pewdiepie is possibly the most irritating person on the entire planet
blues is like the standard thing you always end up going back to
I always like trying to see how much non-blues stuff I can cram into blues playing, it's like the most flexible template
there was a really good guitarist who saw me play blues once and he gave me a big compliment on my blues playing and I think it was because I'm bored of pentatonic minor and blues scales and I'm always trying to get dorian and mixolydian bits in there
it's the blankest canvas really
it's like a superposition of major and minor keys, you can play either the major third or the minor third, or bend from minor to major, and the tritone (sharp four, flat five) is commonplace

neither of those conditions commonly apply in many other styles of music
these idiots do some quite entertaining things

fucking drummer on this

heh i don't know enough about scales yet to understand most of what you said, but by golly i'm learning! i basically just started learning how pentatonic scales work

i'm also realizing how impressive songwriters who don't know any theory are

knowing this shit makes it sooo much easier to actually write music, no wonder i was never any good at it before
theory helps, but it's just another string to your bow at the end of the day, breaking the rules can be as valuable as following them

there was a thing I watched that did some rudimentary analysis of some of the beatles' music and it turns out that some of the melodies are modal, but I guarantee you mccartney didn't realise that when he wrote them

but yeah more knowledge is rarely bad
it's just extra shit in your toolbox at the end of the day

totally, but it seems like it's basically required for jamming

i was reading something about the guitarists in coheed and cambria - they don't know any theory, and were shocked at how some dude from another band was able to improvise and jam with them
yeah I mean if you want to jam, learning at least the pentatonic major and minor is the place to start

the nice thing is that once you've got those, you can start experimenting with shoving other notes in and seeing how they sound

there comes a point where you don't need to think about it any more and you can just play, which is just pure zen
I can only do that over simple chord progressions though, give me some complex jazz shit and I'll have to come up with some of it beforehand
there was a track on one of my album challenges like that, I could just freestyle over all of it except this one chord I stuck in the progression, so I had to work out what I was going to do over that chord beforehand
it's magic though, it's well worth the struggle
the couple of times I've played guitar on stage, I just made a bunch of it up on the spot lol
it's weird to me how classically trained musicians often aren't capable of doing it, they're used to being given a piece of sheet music and playing it note for note, which is the "traditional" music education route

I've often maintained that those two skills are completely different, because I've never been able to sight-read for shit, but I can make things up on the fly no problem

some people can do both, well, I probably could if I bothered to apply myself but I'm lazy
it's like everything with me, I hate being boxed in, I'm a bone idle fucker who relies on natural ability and can't be bothered doing any actual work
red chamber dream
i'm like a mix between the two i guess

definitely don't have interest in learning to read sheet music though, seems like a waste of time for a guitarist
red chamber dream
then again i do kind of want to learn classical guitar style.. i already sort of play in a more classical way. hurts my fingers like fuck lol
