Great concepts to think about. Put into words things that we kind of unconsciously understand but don't know why. Also, the melody example in this video really SHINES :)
Great video Troy. After years spent studying improvisation badly (or so I presume at this point), my brain is starting to "connect the dots" thanks to my composition studies. At first, I was improvising using chord tones solely and my solos were super boring, then they never sounded good because I didn't realise over which chord I was playing, and I was usually sitting on tensive notes without ever resolving them to a chord tone. Now that my inner ear has somewhat developed, I can tell if I'm hitting a chord tone or a non-chord tone and adjust accordingly. Keep up the excellent work! Any news on when Speed mechanics 2 might come out?
I like that point - it is definitely a skill that can be worked on and developed. It's not some magical innate ability - if you can have a conversation, you have the ability to improvise. I think the same really applies to creativity. It's really a matter of training and increasing our 'vocabulary' and comfort in those area.
I have learned from Jazz (but it holds true for Rock and Metal) that non-chord tones or even chromatic stuff outside the key should be off the beat, so that you resolve to a chord-tone ON the beat. If you get that rhythmic hitting of chord-tones, the stuff in between is a lot less critical.
Estoy practicando los legato de Joe satriani que nos mostraste en un video gracias Joe también fue mi inspiración pero aprendí mas de ti por un método de guitarra que me prestaron estaba en caset y aprendí cosas interesantes y mi oído se esduco gracias troy
Thanks my friend... I do still have one of my Washburns, but set it up with a Roland guitar synth which I rarely play... actually haven't touched it in like 10 years!
@@TroyStetinaMusic Oh dam it , i just asked the question cause when i bought books from you long time ago i wanted to buy one when i heard the sound from it ...but i never found the model you had cause there was just few rare dealers the place i live and there was no WEBWORLD what so ever ....
Yes, although they are also adding the open A string under the D for the most part, creating a D5/A pedal tone. But for our purposes here, I just played it over the open D string (keynote) by itself.
now this dude is the definition of a true teacher.
The single greatest harmony lesson ever.
i followed Troy's lesson since early 90's. Surprised to find your channel in youtube!
thank you so much that was very helpful. I cant find part 2 though

Cool, yeah it's an ongoing process. I'm still working on the SM2 videos... slower than expected as I'm also trying to keep up with youtube and patreon

Is that really how collective soul plays that song? I learned it from tab down on the cowboy D chord. Seems lots easier to play the way you did.
