QUOTE (ErikEklund @ Nov 1 2008, 11:30 AM) Of course I can post my takes on the fusion jam as well, would love to hear what you think of my playing I am still working on the advanced level and since I am not an advanced player that will take some more time for me to nail all those tricky chops  But I can post my take on the intermediate level later today maybe Take your time,no need to rush at all, and try to record video,tho audio only would work just fine.

That was great!!
I see you're struggling with some licks but you gave it a shot and I appreciate that! Keep working on it and eventually try to apply more vibrato, specially on longer and bended notes,everything else was really good.

QUOTE (ErikEklund @ Nov 14 2008, 08:29 PM) Thanks Muris I´m very glad (and a bit honored) that you liked my take  I agree 100% on what you sad, and since this was very hard to me, it would probobly take a lot more time before I can play it really well and add some nice vibrato and that stuff. This lesson really helped me out with improving my tapping and timing, really useful stuff You did good job and you're very welcome, keep us updated!

Hi John.
Speaking of Brecker Brothers,their work has a lot more freedom compared with what we traditionally call Fusion. And progression you mentioned is just like that, notes of those chords and the sound of them actually begs for clusters,clash notes etc. But if you wanna keep it as simple as possible,here are few suggestions. F Locrian over F#sus4/F. Now,we look at F Locrian as a 7th degree of Gb Ionian(major scale). I wouldn't do it that way here at all, I would rather think of F Phrygian with altered(flat) 5th cause you can stay on F Phrygian for next 2 chords,Fsus4 and Ebsus4/F. So all the only extra note that you need for F#sus4/F is note Cb(  .And you can even try with regular F Phrygian with note Cb included, which will take to chromatic line Bb,B,C and Db. And of course you can always use Fm pentatonic, there will be few clash notes but if you do it on purpose and resolve wisely it'll be just fine. Thanks for questions,I hope this helps.

QUOTE (kjutte @ Nov 18 2008, 01:40 AM) What about a fairly advanced chord progression in fusion? Most of the fusion I heard is fairly Cm7 - Fmaj sounding, but this combination doesn't seem advanced at all. So, again, what would you do? Everything is allowed indeed,list would be too large if I start typing all the things(chords) you could use. 6th chords,7th chords,9th chords,augg chords,dim chords,slash chords etc... -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (kjutte @ Nov 18 2008, 02:54 AM) Quick off topic question too if I may Is harmonization thoery knowedge important? personally I think it sounds like crap and I've had no real use of it yet Hmm,I not quite sure what harmonization theory is,you think of harmony in general? Anyhow,every kind of knowledge is good,same goes for harmonization theory or what else, perhaps you just haven't messed enough with more complex progressions etc.
