Project subtraction (3)

I bought this guitar used, for less than  $100.

Nothing fancy, just a Strat-type Timbre.

Enough with the predictable. Let's try something different this time round :-)

One of the blog readers here did his version of 'subtraction'- awesome, bro Rowaizad!

Sunset Monday

It had been a rotten Monday but then again, I couldn't really recall a good Monday. It had been a long while...

So naturally, the guitar cures everything & it was an hour of sunset guitar-ing. Was listening to some Greg Howe & tried to come up with a fusion lick but it was rather impossible if what one plays isn't intentional, like forcing a carrot through a key hole. 

Regardless of the problematic adventure, one thing's for sure- I was engaged from start to end. Thanks to my Subtraction S-series which features only a single pickup. This was the key to focus actually; using only the essentials to address the issue. If there were more than one pickups in there, chances are, tone-chasing would get the better of me instead of grinding some grey matter to solve the problem.

The key to solving a problem is to understand why it happened in the first place. Can't do a fusion lick? Try adding a single chromatic passing note to whatever scale you fancy & play it like you meant it. Now that's the key, not the carrot, to unlocking doors. OK so it's only one of many keys.
