There's that haha. Being a jazzer I'm more on the side of it's still improv even if vocab is used over other structure. But I see what you mean with some rock just being put together with basic pieces.

I agree with you that composing a solo is by definition not improv. That was my point. Most solos in produced music are not improvised, they're composed note for note or outlined. While some free flow improv is also part of recorded music. I disagree with the premise you're making that if you...

I know sir. I was responding to Mincer disparaging guitarists for using patterns they already know. When it's literally the standard for produced music to have the solo either composed or worked out, even tho just free flowing exists. It's not implied that all solos are completely improvised...

Yeah you gotta get in the zone. One time I was in mid zone while recording. I heard this dull bumping with my headphones on. I pull them off and the thumping gets loud. It's my fucker upstairs neighbor stomping on the floor when it's 7:45. I was so raged. I was like it's not even night time f...

I wouldn't expect anything less. 😃

Correct. There's gonna be improv in studio solos at times but the default is gonna be either fully composed or at least outlined. So I misspoke.

Preparation is a prerequisite for competent improv. But it's not implied that solos are improvised on studio record.. Those would be composed note for note.

Thx

My left index finger is too ghetto to continue playing guitar. I had to take up instruments that won't aggravate it.

I quit organ and sold it because I sucked at it lol. Vibraphone is going really well and it's pretty fun. I actually can play organ pretty well without bass at the same time, but I couldn't ever get the whole thing with bass to groove well.

Any greats in any sort of acclaimed music.

I ain't mad. I'm just here to expose how the greats were organized af, that's why they were great. Inspiration yeah, but also hard work, organization, and either a bit of theory or a lot of theory. Usually wasn't didn't know jack. Although there are some cases where greats knew minimal theory...

Thx. I guess I've been busy adulting for once. Unfortunately Pebbz is no longer with us. https://claremont-courier.com/obituaries/obituary-pebber-brown-65382/ I am up to no such tricks. I tell it like it is. I will definitely analyze your tunes and compare them to my books while I study up!

Oh man Stv comes with the truth about cauliflower ear! 😄

Bro Phantazmo you're still battling people about theory?! People can do what they want but the vast majority of great musicians don't use all inspiration and zero theory. They either use inspiration plus their working model of theory, or they know all their theory. Plus they work really hard...
