Guthrie claims he never did the whole metronome practice thing ... how the fuck did he developed his technique? I remember reading (in one of the Creative Guitar books I think) that he got most of his chops over a summer, when he was 16 or so ...
How much you re interested in/keen on physics buddy?
I did an A Level in Physics

listen to much machine head? I think the solos in halo define for me good metal soloing
I loved machine head growing up! :)
Do you agree with Pat? Was this wrong of him to say? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-mjt1ypiF8 I think the Jazz community does need to stick together like the fusion community today! Instead of bringing each other down, we should all be trying to help each other out
I knew what that was before clicking on it ;)

hello teacher. what is fusion exactly? what are the most common chord changes and rhythmic ideas in fusion?
Fusion is the fusing of two musical styles. That could be anything. Indian classical music and rock is fusion. Jazz and folk is fusion. Blues and metal is (technically) fusion
Why are players like Kirk Hammett respected. I know he gets some schtick from people that know whats bad about his playing, but 90% of guitarists, 99% of metallica fans ... how can they not hear the humming bird vibrato, badly intonated bends, cliche note choice, poor finger tone in general?
because he wrote and played on Master of Puppets - Legend status solidified!

what is Prometheus scale?
hey im new to theory, what chord is that cdim7 replacing, idk what a I chord is :(
I - chord one. ii-V-I - 2-5-1
how important is studying (how deep do I need to study) jazz in order to play fusion?
You don't need to at ALL... but it will certainly help add a flavor to your playing. There are many great fusion players who have (I assume) never studied jazz. Just look at Holdsworth!
Just worry about your ears, learn to listen! :)

Which of these two guitarists jam did you prefer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NG9Csi-AAI
I prefer Jacek's tone for sure.
They both sound pretty contrived to me though. I love Jakub's playing (he's one of my favorites at the moment), but here I couldn't help but keep thinking "yeah, cool, you know Lydian Dominant... we get it"
Also, trading 4s at the start of a solo? It's like they got straight to the competitive part and missed the expressive part?
Obviously both guys can play, but this feels more like two guys playing over a backing track who forgot there was a live band completely. You can see that neither of them knows what to do at 4:28 when their band drops back! Part of me wants to say "what was that all about?!" the drummer just decides to end their solos for them, which is pretty poor etiquette, but at the same time... if he didn't they'd probably still be playing now! haha

Do you like Mark Levine Jazz Theory book?
Great book!
b6 against the 5th can be lovely sounding depending on how you voice it. Example, low to high E - X X 10 12 9 11 X = Root, 5, b6, b3 - sounds great arpeggiated,, not quite as a chord, as the b6 and 5th are voiced a b2 apart, but for a chord there's this X 3 1 1 1 3 = Root, b3, b6, root, 5th
Of course, because you're arpeggiating it. That's not a chord, it's a melody. I'm not saying that scales with minor seconds don't work :P
I also don't think that last voicing sounds nice at all. It's like a passable version, but passable isn't useable. My ear hears it and says... "oops, someone misfingered a m9 chord"

that sounds interesting, can you do a video response demoing that please!?!?
You don't need me to show you!
Dm9 - G7#5 - Cdim7 - Cmaj7
There you go

whats the latest bit of theory you discovered? polymodal chromaticism for me
It was probably something like substituting the I chord for a dim7 for a deceptive resolution
Why does minor 6 chord have a major 6th? D minor 6 = D F A B?? What?.. If I'm playing in say A minor, and I want to go to D minor 6, it is a nice chord change if the 6th of the D minor 6 is a flat 6, but if the 6th of the D minor is major, it sounds "off" and doesn't work with the A minor key.
Because that's the naming convention :P
When you add a b6 to a chord it clashes with the 5th and doesn't sound at rest. If you omit the 5th then you have a m#5 which is actually just a 1st inversion major triad.
As for your chord change, isn't that all opinion? I don't like the sound of Am - Dmaddb6. The Dm would have a Bb which is the b9 in the key... sounds awful to me.
