Anathema Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 well im just wondering is it easyier to create your own stuff when you know a lot of others stuff. like learning other peoples rifs and solos and such. or do you just sit down and think of stuff i dunno if that does make sense im sorry im still a lil new at this lo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleach Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 When I was learning to play (about a million years ago) I soaked up everything I possibly could from everybody that I saw playing live (we didn't have MTV or videos back then) and learned alot of cover songs by ear-no tab here-. When I started the writing process, I would just take a couple of chords and play them in every combination and key that I could think of and occasionally I would stumble on to something that sounded unique. After doing that in a major key i would drop in minors and 7th's to spice it up. By the way, this was my MTV and video games -the good old fahioned way-nowaday's there is soooo much material, tab, videos and shows to learn from. I soak up evereything I see and hear, keep an open mind and hope for the best. Keep rockin, the world hasn't heard you yet! ~B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jabsco Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 For me, learning theory, and Jazz improv helped me Tons! Now I can just sit down, pick key, and go. And this is only after 4 years of playing, and 1 year of studying theory. this site helped me, but its mainly for bass. www.bassically.net and www.cliffengel.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
