Falling short of new things in guitar

WARNING: Awfully Long post. Please skip if its not for you.

-As a guitarist, it is a great thing to constantly push yourself as regards creativity.

-Even if you are a well trained guitarist who knows all the scales, new things can still be learned.

-There are many runs that you can derive from a scale.

if you exhaust all the runs that can possibly done on a scale Mix them up. You can skip runs, combine runs, jump from runs to other ones to create new music.

-When you pay more attention to the blues scale, you will begin to merge the scale's layout with other diatonic scales layouts,

 and you will be able to quickly jump from any diatonic scale to the blues scale.

Its like a system we develop in our mind , either we are in the scales mode, or we are in the blues mode.

BLUES <-------> DIATONIC


-When you get practiced at jumping from modals to blues, and the other way round. 

You might wanna focus on the blues scale more

. Because we are still used to playing the blues scale across through the patterns, then finding a link and moving to the next pattern.


-You can invent all sorts of runs.


-To improve your runs

Just pick the part of the scale at which you are the strongest,

and then find your weakest part closest to that part.

3 And then make your own run from the strong part to the weaker part.

This way we generate new new patterns to work with, we discover strange new sounds we've never heard on tracks.
