For cryin' out loud, Frank, could you be a little less talented and creative?  You're makin' the rest of us look bad.


Srsly, though, lovely work.  Your guitar leads definitely have a Satriani-in-his-weird-modes vibe going on.  I hear a lot of room to expand on the themes you hint at here.  Lots of fun.  I would personally like to hear you develop the Indian percussion more.  I think that would support the fusion concept even better.  But hey, I ain't complainin'.


Peace

Thanks Ian!

Yah the concept came about when an Indian colleague, who loves classical Indian flute music (?!) challenged me to learn some of the scales used on some of the flute recordings.

I have no idea wth in doing.  I can't read music and literally have to count frets to tell u what note I'm on lol. I put the idiot in savant.

I do hope to expand this one!  Kinda threw it together. Really more of a revelation, really. I was just sinking my teeth into some gulab jamun, when the clouds parted, light shine down, and a melody tickled my ears.

There's some great learning to be had there.  I can't read worth a damn either.  But something I have had fun with is taking exotic modes (like what your'e playing with here, e.g.) and drawing out the notes of it on a fretboard diagram.  From there, you can not only learn how to put together single-note lines, you can also visualize how to harmonize it and come up with chord progressions that suit that mode.  Loads o' laffs.

Frank, that is way cool!  You said previously that you needed to challenge yourself with something new.  Mission accomplished!  ccasion14:

The pleasure is all mine.  I need to be motivated and have a chunk of time available, both at the same time.  Usually, it is one or the other.  On a different note, I think my Velocity and it's neck finally shipped!
