I sometimes feel I get too caught up in diatonic movement through chords, or trying to create something from theory knowledge rather than follow my ear and just "playing what sounds cool". It might be moving from a Dm to an Fm to a Bbm with a similar approach to what I first thought was the "right way" to do it. Sometimes it's nice to step away from theory, write something and THEN figure out what's going on, rather than start out with being boxed in It's a balance of course, as with all things. Holdsworth land is not a bad place to be taken to, and your playing only becomes better and better each time I hear you! At this point in music 'theory' history, there's no chord progression that can't be, at least in some context, analyzed theoretically. Move chords around however you want. Figure it out later. If it sounds good, it is good. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Oh, I completely agree. It's more so the approach of how I go about coming up with things that I was questioning. I.e. theory first or the "just play what you think sounds cool" first. Guitar (like piano) is super visual. I would imagine that most guitarists started off by moving shapes around the fingerboard and then landing on stuff that sounds cool. I think most still do. I know I do The great thing about knowing a bit of harmony and theory is that after you discover that 'cool' sounding progression, you can figure out what the hell it is and then be able to apply it and/or fit it in to other stuff you already know or may learn. I have several little notebooks filled with ideas: licks, chord shapes, progressions, concepts, etc. I store them away and then come back to browse through them and see what I still like. Some of it I decide is trash, some of it is gold. *That chord shape in your first post is a nice one, and I'll note that I've never played that exact voicing before. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
