- My notes
Today we will take a look at the opening section of one of my work in progress "Dark Fuse". It is mostly based on a few dissonant ideas with the use of a chord segment including the root, 2nd and 5th.
I tried to include several different tapping techniques to keep things visually entertaining.
Practice the following licks slowly with a special attention to the rhythm part. The groove of this song is quite important.
The second part of this opening of the song is based in the key of F# Mixolydian. Study all these ideas and try to create something unique with the ideas exposed. Have fun!
