This new style of music was lead by Devo, The Police and The Cars to name a few, but I never got into it,until this 16 year old guitarist from Liverpool, UK opened my eyes to Harmonic intervals in such a perfect setting. His name is Paul Reynolds (probably 45 years old now)and when his structured style hit me like a ton of bricks,the lightbulb went on. His style was so simple that the effected progressions highlighted become addictive. You may laugh when you hear the Band, but I got laid every time I played that 16 year olds masterpiece. The Song is called Space age Love Song. Just listen to the Song and slide along the neck. You will find the intervals without using Tabs and see how Perfect intervals can compliment even the simplist things. The name of the band is Flock Of Seagulls. After the Space age love song gets you some action, the song I ran also has some simple but strong improvisations. All At 16 years old

Been getting some messages wondering how I got some of this Theory info to share. The big question is what made it click? When did you know that X+Y= MC2 in the Phrygian mode? When I started playing there were some Monster guitarists making their scene. A band called Mammoth was hitting the Hollywood Strip coming from Pasadena, CA, just killing it. So they changed their name and released their debut album called "Van Halen". Next thing you know is the guitarist from Quiet Riot quits the band to join Ozzy Osbourne as he releases his solo career from Black Sabbath called "The Blizzard Of OZ". Now Randy Rhoads is releasing his fury all over town. So my first 2+ years struggling to form an accurate chord progression and trying to add a pentatonic at best wasn't that impressive. This is before Metallica, but Judas Priest was kicking ass!!!!!!! And this new band from England named Iron Maiden was INSANE!!!!!!!!! My Pentatonic riffs seemed like a joke!!!!! Lucky for me there was another style of music beginning to Rise.. There was another monster guitarist from my local neighborhood that worked in a guitar shop in Garden Grove, Ca,.Named Mark Norton, who stated this new style wouldn't last. He Became Mark St. John and joined Kiss after Ace Frehley. You may recognize Garden Grove because bands like Sublime and The Offspring came from there later.
