Re: What bpm can you maintain for a few hundred distinct, fretted notes?

^ That was one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Listen to this solo and if you know anything about theory, the melodic concepts that I can pick up on are: mixolydian mixed with minor blues riffs, straight minor pentatonic, natural minor, harmonic minor, blues scale, major arpeggios, symmetric patterns. Just to name a few that I understand. That definitely wasn't "just a blues box" and is some of the most exciting playing I've ever heard.

Did you read and understand my post completely or are you just being combative cause I criticize your lover?

I know nothing about theory but I do know that minor pentatonic, blues scale, melodic minor, harmonic minor are all derived from the natural minor scale; every single one of these scale are within the blues box.

And guess what? What you hear as Myxolidyan is more often than not is blues scale with 6 and 3 mixed in to spice up the lick with 'major' feel. And 3rd going to b5, voila! You have lydian b7 flavor, ala Flying in a Blue Dream. So much BS about theory...

I guess I was looking for fusion players like John McLaughlin but his execution is terrible.

New Poll
How many made it to the end of the video?

I didn’t. I love Paul Gilbert, but I hate repetition in music. That version of “Technical Difficulties” I posted is more my idea of him at his best.

Paul seems like one of the nicest guys, but shred just to shred got old years ago.

Vinnie Vincent (former KISS member) is one hell of a shredder! I bet his bpm's are pretty high. He could play circles around Ace Frehley.:headbang:
