hello,
I've been "playing" on/off for a few years now but without impressive improvements...
I have developed a more "structured" way of learning over the last couple of weeks: learning my fretboard, warming up, training with a metronome...
I am more comfortable now with the intervals and the position of the notes on the fretboard.
I've just read the thread on "MODES" (very instructive!)
there is still plenty of room for improvement thought!
for now I know the minor pentatonic (+ its different shapes) (if I remember well: I also know the major pentatonic since it's the same scale a minor 3rd up)
but: how do I know the key of a song?? each time I want to play a "solo" I have to do it by trial and errors (well: when it's clapton, 9/10 of the time I hit for the D minor penta...)
let's say I have the chords of the song, how do I know which key I can use?
how do I know which mode is better??
thanks!
