Part 10 extra info

1 the secret chord or the 13th note is not some complex pattern or shape but it's actually silence sometimes not playing a note will say more than playing a note

2. When writing music make the music tell a story also the same with solos a solo is like a conversation think of what takes place in a conversation, there are questions answers, pauses, rambling, think of all those things and try incorporate that into your solos

3. When playing a solo try dance around the root note and not just always hit the root note as it's very predictable

4. Try not practicing scales up and down try changing it up and skipping strings what you practice is what you play

5. Less is more and repetition, Repetition, repetition.
Also I find it's important when writing to not try show off your skills but rather look for the most tasty vibe and save the complex show offy stuff for where it's required

6. Listen to your ear it will always tell you when something is wrong or correct even if on paper it should work your ear will be your best guid

7. Another crucial part is any minor key has a major key that shares all the same identical notes easy way to work that out is count 3 up from in a minor scale or 3 down in a major key. Example if in key of Cm, count 3 up from there so 1C, 2D, 3E so the major key of Cm is E Major visa versa as a side note back to the 1-7 part number one is your main major scale called Ionian and the number 6 is your main minor scale

8. All your speed is in your picking hand
