Lick of the day(Jan.23,99).
Create tomorrow's licks with yesterdays concept.
Lick of the day(Jan.24,99).
So-- When soloing over a key center and you want "out" or dissonant sounds use non diatonic scales.
For consonant sounds use diatonic scales.
EXAMPLE: For E7 chord- Consonant sound= A MAJOR SCALE
Dissonant sound= E,G,Bb,C#m pent. scales.
Tomorrow we'll mix it up.

Project:Name 2,5,1 chords in all keys named above.
Lick of the day(Feb.7-13,99)
Now that you know key's using sharp's, the key's using FLAT'S are easy:
Example:Eb major = Emajor but all notes down 1/2 step(1 fret).
F G A Bb C D E F (F MAJOR SCALE)
Bb C D Eb F G A Bb (Bb MAJOR SCALE)
Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb (Eb MAJOR SCALE)
Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab (Ab MAJOR SCALE)
Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db (Db MAJOR SCALE)
Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F Gb (Gb MAJOR SCALE)
Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb Cb (Cb MAJOR SCALE)
NOW THAT ALL THAT IS DONE WE MUST USE ALL KEYS:A LIFE LONG GOAL.
Tempered tuning system allowed playing in all keys easier.
IT IS NOT A PERFECT SOLUTION BUT IS USEABLE FOR NOW.
(PLAY C NOTE ON GUITAR AND SING G NOTE)- THE G NOTE ON GUITAR IS NOT
EXACTLY SAME AS THE ONE YOU SANG.
TEMPERED MUSIC: IS AVERAGED OUT TO MAKE PLAYING IN ALL KEYS EASIER.
ANYHOW-LET'S GO HOG WILD AND USE THE STRENGTH'S OF THIS IN FUTURE LESSONS.
