you can do some diminished scale, and yes, Setzer does a lot of diminished runs in the strangest positions. Best example that comes to my mind right now is the version of race with the devil on the original cool album, where he does that in the second part of the first solo. Finding out that run was enlightning

Maybe there's a need for a separate topic for chords and songs? or even a separate forumtitle?

You arent kidding. For 20 yrs I had to transcribe chord charts for my musicians in the
band and everytime I wrote an A2 they would play an Asus4.

..but thats what happens with us guit nuts that dont read notation. We've got a million
chord shapes stuck in our head and we dont to the angular rock math to figure out
what the 13th is!

I mean when we play purple haze you just look at the other guitarist and go
"play this chord" MAN!! and they go ....ooohh ya.

rock n roll baby! ( this is the reason my boy is playing cello AND guitar, he will
go places)

ahh, purple haze, is that the e7#9 chord, the magic fumes chord, the chord that will play in your head over and over again, once you figured out the sensational effect playing the sixth string (E) against it Strange thing is, in jazz, this kinda difficult to understand music, but most of the session men from the early recordings where jazzers anyway , it's a really common chord, well not everytime with the E in the bass position, but somewhere.. and the ideal scale to play over it is called altered, or you can do some diminished scale, and yes, Setzer does a lot of diminished runs in the strangest positions.

Oh yeah, you're just hittin' one of my favourite topics. I reently even friend of mine who is a metal player to play Jazz chords in his Songs, because they just sounded a lot better!
I'm concentrating my whole practising around "understanding music" at the moment, but luckily I got a very wise teacher. How did you leanr that stuff? I've been just introduced to the solmisation, and I think that's a kinda cool technique.

roland,
its more fun to start a thread and see how long it can go. Then it makes for
good reading when someone visits our forum! Plus you gotta understand there
are those of us that studied theory in college 20yrs ago and never used it again
until the kids and wife picked up cellos and uprights.

Its hard to process it all, but it makes a huge difference in the quality music you create.
This world does not need ONE more blues or rockabilly band that plays all their
songs in E with 3 chords.

3 chords and the truth is all you need some say but you better be tellin some
"NEW" truth or really good lies!!

ps. maybe title the thread "The Everlasting Theory Thread"
IF you do start one let me know and I'll transfer these posts related
to it. ... kinda fun "educating rockabillies one at a time"
