Hmmmm, I don't really see what You mean with the term "Fusion" here, since there are a lot of sub-genres. Eg. there are rock-fusion, jazz-fusion, fusion between african music and jazz, latin-fusion etc. The term "fusion" is really a meltdown of different styles, and to play it a broad knowledge is recommended imo.
One of the most essential knowledges though, is to master the fretboard and the modes - most fusion is based on key changes played kinda modal. It is really a very free kind of music, but if You desribe more in detail what kind of fusion we're talking bout, I can be more precise. //Staffay EDIT: Sorry Muris, I didn't saw that it was Your thread....

Not a problem, glad you jumped in!  QUOTE (theultrazone @ Apr 9 2010, 06:09 PM) Hi Muris, I do enjoy your Fusion stuff and it's really fun to play this kind of things.. But there is one think that made me crazy. I didn't understand what you are playing. I am feeling like a parrot just copying your licks. But that is not my Target. I want to Jam along by myself.. on my own licks. To take for example your Backing Track and Jam with my own stuff.. But that didn't work like it does in the Pentatonic area. I am really wondering what i need to do to made my own jammings. Please can you help me understanding how this music works and what are the key points i have to learn or to train or to listen to get a selfmade jam? Cheers Alex Hi Alex. This with Fusion cannot be explained in one post as it requires far more analyzing, playing, composing etc. But I can give you some tips regarding Fusion Jam Lesson tho. It's in a key of Bm and yes, you can use Bm pentatonic as well. The problem is whatsoever if you over use it, you might end up sounding more bluesy or heavy metal since "fusion" sound that we are after is a bit more than just a pentatonic scale. Next choice is B Dorian which I used a lot in the lesson. I hope you do have some modal knowledge so I will miss to explain Dorian mode. You can push your views a lot further by using neighbor tones, that way you get more chromatic and more fusion flavor. And if you succeed to use all possible neighbor notes you'll end up by using a full chromatic scale, you'll have all 12 notes at your disposal, now it's just up to you how to use them. And don't be afraid of using mine or anyone else's licks, it's quite impossible to play your own licks without learning from others before that. I have done that and I'm pretty sure everyone else have so go for it, expand your lick library and you'll be there sooner as you think.

It comes with time, the more you play "fusion" the more you become comfortable
to make your own variations and adaptation of certain song towards "fusion" sound.
