Well, it's not the first time I write you, and now I have some guitar questions: I've been seriously studing Dragon's Kiss and Cacophony albums lately. I already listened to some japanese music, like Nakanishi Seiichi and others guitarists, so I was familiar with japanese traditional pentatonic (lydian mode without second and fourth note) but I've found that you add another note to that scale a lot of times, which sounds very cool (5b of that japanese pentatonic scale, I found it similar to pentatonic blues scale with that typical cromatic note 3# added); that note is completely "out" of the natural scale and I wondered if you ever had any problems with it, since your ear is so good and that note is "out"... did it always sound ok to you?? I play by ear too and sometimes that note brokes me, but I think it's just that I wasn't used to that. Can you suggest me another notes I can add to japanese pentatonic? I've added it as a 6 note scale in my list, thank you ;-) And how can you change key with each chord without getting lost at all!?!?! That amazes me so much; did you practise each phrase separately and then play all together?? I guess not, and I guess you're able to improvise like that, in fact I listened to a recording of Jason and you playing blues, and it is great. I love your arpegio stuff, and I can't understand why did you said "that odd arpegios" I mean, arpegios are some centurys old, has it gotten old in the last ten years or what?? I don't like the fact you're not using them anymore, and a lot of your fans think like me. Anyway, your new album sounds good to me, you did a good job, but people who's not used to listen to japanese music at all find it a bit weird. Thank you for being such an inspiration!!! Best regards from Spain!! I wonder why don't you ever come here :-( |
