Terry, Doc, Loraine-
You know…. now that I think about it….. I don’t think I EVER got the real “jist” of the backing track and playing along with it. As I said, I could do the scale easily backwards and forwards- but only just off the tab info. But playing along?— Fuggedaboudit.
Guilty- I remember trying it with the backing track probably close to a year ago- (right after I started TAC)- and got frustrated with it I guess- and never gave it a serious look after that. Shoulda stayed with it…..
I think I was lookin’ at it all wrong- that I had to play the scale complete, start-to-finish, from the VERY BEGINNING. And what I thought was the beginning— was “gone” by the time heard it!- So I was always starting “late”. That’s where the “strum deadened strings 4 times like the “Play” videos” came from.
I’m gonna use your techniques and ideas from here on- just noodlin’ around WITHIN that backing track- throwin’ in whatever comes to my mind.
Hey– it only took me a year- cuz I are a fass lurner 😜
Thanks again-
Mark J
