Hey don't get me wrong Big D... Scales are important as well as their proper placement and modes and such.... however I'm not the guy that could talk to you about those.... I understand it enough to know that there is order to the chaos, however for me there is not much order for my own chaos. I don't know all the technical details enough to properly apply them.... doesn't mean I don't want to but I've played by ear for ever and though it doesn't always work out for me, it's all I have time for these days.
I'm down with all the feedback you guys got to throw my way trust me.... no thin skin here... ":) I've heard my playing... sometimes it's ok sometimes not so much.
That's the good thing about here, we all try to help each other... I was just letting you know that yea, I didn't follow the rulez, but I did really like your BT and I just wanted to play to the entire thing. I couldn't tell you if I was using dorian scales or fish scales.... I was just playing what I thought was a close fit.... like I said sometimes it works out for me ok and others eehhhh not so much.
I know that Kris tightened up the grading for the takes, but for these types of BT's, I just play whatever comes to mind at the time so I personally don't really follow too many rulez, and with that I understand that it may not fit what you want.... but you did give me feedback nonetheless so it's all good.... plus I got you to threaten me with a butt kickin.... That was awesome! I'd rather you say that to me then to say.... well uh Mr. Roberts you may need to take a look at the structure of the collab" lol... just tell me I need a good arse whoopin'! LOL.....
It's all good man, we're all friends here....
You are right at some point
Scales are not a must
But there are some particular points that make some notes ounding not in the correct place. The scales suggestion is only an idea for where to look for what could be wrong. Playing guitar has to be fun
We're not a YouTube-like site where some 12 year old kid wants to bing You down
Those are only suggestion for what You could do if You want to improve Your playing and the most important in all this is... You
So...forget about any rules, competitions etc...just let us all be friends who try to help each other
