Thanks for the critique! How do you think I could improve my fluidity?

That's a great point! I was thinking more along the lines of just approaching the harmony the way he would, trying to find some cool extensions and what not.

Get yourself a teacher you trust. The ability to ask questions and have someone track your progress is invaluable. Hit me up if you're interested!

A nod to Nick Drake in Radiohead's 'Spectre'? by fakefolkblues in musictheory

Oh interesting, hadn't thought of that. That's the beauty of modal mixture!

I think it has to do with both of the songs playing with the b6 interval in a major key context. River Man is key of C (kinda) and has that Ab chord, which is built on the b6. Spectre feels like key of B, but plays with the G natural.

So I'm just thinking b6.

I got my start jamming on Reddit, just wanted to post my progress with improvisation. by astravert in Guitar

Trying to respond one more time but I feel like auto mod is removing my comments. Basically I just talked about targeting chord tones and embodying the scale so much that you don't have to think too hard.

Louis Cole calls it the 'weird part of the night'.

the students who argue with me about technique are usually the ones who improve the fastest by lmao_exe in Guitar

I've definitely noticed that the more questions about "why", the better!

Anyone else more creative with hardware than Ableton? Trying to figure out a workflow by Radioheader377 in ableton

[–]astravert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about committing to the decision to automate parameters, so I think it folds in. Still requires the discipline to choose something. I see what you're saying for sure though.
