With your theoretical knowledge you will benefit immensely from Planetalk. The ideas presented therein will give you a lot of things to think about after you read it, and you will be able to apply them straight away. |
I work near the city (Sydney CBD - Central Business District, i.e. downtown) and live in Dundas (21km west of CBD). I've been here over 10 years, but original raised in LA (born in Boston, go via Texas, LA, Japan then Sydney land of Oz, whoever thought the rainbow ended here?).
I've read a couple
CAGED books and Roadmap and things. It helped a little. But still couldn't make me think with it. What's different in this system?
A friend commented to me the other day on another skill,
radio. She commented saying when they asked a question, I just knew what to say. Or even in answering some media comment in writing, newspaper media, I could answer things so well, and word things so well. I didn't have to "think". Perhaps I knew my tools and subjects well enough to just do it rather than think-think-think- and be all introverted wondering if this fit with that, etc.
Then in getting on this forum, I thought it was similar. I seem to know (I admit, I could still know scales, songs, chords much better and I've been bad at keeping up practice, my discipline has always been bad)--know a bunch of things, but all in a seemingly disrelated way.
Kirk describes getting on stage with someone he really hasn't played with before, and just sort of talking with the guitar to the other musicians and answering them in kind and really "saying the right things" at the right time.
I have 2 lessons I need to learn, first is the more basic of basic improves, and how to make any type of improve, melody or soloing sound good. Second would be doing it in the right context of the song or the way the other musos are going.
With all my reading and the above posts this is what I am thinking....
