QUOTE (SonofDestiny @ May 31 2008, 01:38 PM)  Hey Kristofer  How do you find those 'forbidden' notes that make a solo sound cool in an odd way? If you got the time... wanna check this out? http://www.gtridol.com/george-aalbers This is something I improvised. It's s**t... I know. I need to improve my improv. I just don't know where to start... People have given me tips, but it's overkill you know. I have so much information that I don't know what to use. Maybe finding forbidden notes is a good start? Another thing: do you believe in a higher force? Like God or LOA? You really have something special about you and most of the time I see that in people who believe in something. I'm sorry if that sounds gay  it's not my intention! Thanks for reading! edited for langauge I know this was a q for Kris but I'll provide my opinion. First, you've got to have a scale, let's say a minor scale, ABCDEFG. Now, there's many ways to do this, one thing is called a chromatic passage, which in my opinion should be shredded away much faster than the note you end with, preferably with a cool effect like a bend or slide etc. A lick containing a chromatic passage could be: E)-8---5----------------------------------------------------------  ----------8---5--------------------------------------------10---G)-------------------7---5-------5------------4-5-6-7/12^14~- D)----------------------------7-------5-6-7-8-------------------- A)----------------------------------------------------------------- E)----------------------------------------------------------------- First you have an easy, common pentatonic lick. Followed by a chromatic passage (in letters they are: G,G#,A,A#,B,C,C#,D slide to G, bend up to A) Here your "forbidden notes" are A#, C# and G#. You could get like a nick diagram paper and write down all notes in a scale, and that way the frets that aren't marked contains notes outside of the scale. You can use them in many ways, like the example before, you can hit it and then very quickly hit a "neighbour" strong note. Like (in A Aeolian aka A natural minor scale) G# then quickly hammer A. That way you get a kind of jumpy sound which is rather cool. If you chose a chord progression that suits a minor, and then use a whole tone scale, you'll encounter forbidden notes and get a spacy kind of sound. You can of course put even more theory into that, but it's a start. Have a nice day, I hope you don't mind my opinion Kris. -------------------- Olle "AJ" Svensson

I actually made a lil' silly improvisation on the subject at hand. I added some 'forbidden' notes and some chromatic passages. Enjoy.-'Music'-

If it's too personal or if you are too busy, never mind, but I was really wondering about it
