sorry river.... I dont understand... in major key, there are no 3 notes in sucsession (eg, fret 8,9,10 on the same string)... so how come that works?
I'm still in the early stages of music theory here :)
Some one told me it's called a "secret" chord change, which Stevie Ray Vaunaugahl;hdf;lksdflka (what ever his name is ) uses them... and basically start playing notes from one chord, and then take them out, and play ones from the next chord, and you get a chromatic sequence type thing... but i dont get it... all the chords in Gmaj, can only be made of G,A,B,C,D,E,F#... and in that riff he throws in other notes... that's the part i have trouble with
