  • @trackerbuckmann1627
    @trackerbuckmann1627 3 роки тому +1

    I'm not sure how this would work in a progression without sounding "off" - it doesn't sound bad when you do it, I'm just trying to understand how it works within a key. I'm still wrapping my head around parallel keys, relative keys and so forth. Are you just rapidly changing keys?
    Anyways, beautiful guitar. Beautiful sounds as always. "The four agreements" is amazing. Check out "let the goddess dance" by Russell "Buddy" Helm. And "cave and Cosmos" by Michael Harner. Both are about using rhythm to alter consciousness.

    • @jaymingles
      @jaymingles 3 роки тому

      learn coltrane’s lines and play them over and over and they’ll eventually naturally work their way into your vocabulary. be sure to really give proper attention to the ones that stick out to you and practice those more so that when you put everything together your technique matches up with your harmonic knowledge and ability
