I just wanted to add one more thing. (again correct me if im wrong) It's not simply which note you start on, like i can play some quick little notes at the beginning (as the chord progession is finishing up before repeating) then on the first beat of the progression i will play my root. And there are a lot of different things that will effect what the listener will think is the root. Mainly i modulate on just the first beat of a measure (maybe the 3rd in std time) but if i try to do it on the 2nd or 4th it won't sound like i've played a new root. What i'm getting at is if you simply think to yourself all i have to do is pick a new "first" note in the middle of a solo the listener might not hear it as being a new root.


If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
