I'm surely NOT fusion master
but I will try to give you some advices of course. Fusion as a word means mix or synthesis of couple of different things. In music world,specially guitar world, it's usually another word for rock-jazz but you can throw many other things in there as well. The way I see Fusion is to have tight rhythm section, someone would say that Jazz also requires the same. Absolutely but I thinking of more energy from rhythm section, heavier playing sort of speech. Then you slowly adding more freedom to your playing, you are not stick with one or two scales, you combine more of them as progression goes, you combine lots of different techniques as well (hybrid picking is probably the trademark) etc. It is really hard to explain what Fusion is until you actually learn to play some licks from real masters and realize the point of it, which is usually kind of rock with more options and freedom,imo. -------------------- Youtube

That said, anything played with conviction and confidence sounds better than played without. Absolutely. I'm also interessted in fusion. Is there anything you could recommend to start with ? Or share a good backingtrack for fusion ? How much theory knowledge is necessary in fusion ? Because I'm sure it's gonna be pretty hard without much theory knowledge. Are there any common scales that are used in fusion ? Well Fusion is really complex genre since it involves lots of different stuff,styles and more. I can't tell what is the bottom line of theory knowledge for Fusion but it's pretty high,that's for sure. Scales used in Fusion are all those common scales we play everyday but with more mixing and chromatic as well. Hard to recommend something to start with, play some blues,rock,smooth jazz,modern jazz etc then try to combine everything you've learn into one moment of your playing,that would be Fusion. I'll open Fusion Topic in my sub-board so we could upload backings and our takes in there, then discuss and learn few things. Once again,I'm far away from being master in this field but I'll try my best to give you some basic advices and suggestions.

I would say a good starting place for learning Fusion is making sure you understand your theory very strongly. Playing Fusion requires a dedication to tonal mastery to know exactly how to draw outside the lines and make it sound good requires strong theory skills. I don't know if you do yet or not but a good starting point would be to make sure you know all the names of the notes on the fretboard forwards and backwards. Know when you land on fret X on Y string that its Note Z without much counting or thinking about it. Daniel Just like that,hard to add anything here,thanks Daniel! -------------------- Youtube
