I think maybe this crazy- (and crazy-fun!)- tactic is just my wandering way of incorporating the “sprinkles”- into a song- (riffs, slides, hammers, pull-offs, etc)— while playing it— on the fly.
TAC provides us with FANTASTIC “broad-based-skills”– no question! We are able to use the skills learned in here to play about ANY scale, lick, chord progression, etc, that we want. And THAT is great stuff!!
But in addition to that– isn’t the **ultimate** goal to take all these skills we learn in TAC…… and ALSO use them to play music?
I think– (riffs, slides- etc)- should be treated the same way– to get to the point we’re able to throw ’em in whenever we feel the need? One of MY biggest goals is to **genuinely** have the ability to do that— at will. The ability to throw these into a SONG I’m playing– on the fly– seems to me like it’s a ***completely separate skill***– and THAT’S the reason for the original post in this thread- and what I’m doing.
Most songs have quite a bit of these “extras” in there- snazzed-up by the artists. But when I/we just play the song using tabs- all we play is the main chords— SOOOO much of the “sprinkles” just get left out.
Thank you all for ALL of your help, advice, and encouragement!!!
Sounds like there are others of us who maybe think along the same lines?
