Thanks guys,
I get what he's doing (By playing 3to 5th chormatically).. but my question is..
He uses (In order of lowest to highest):
E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E... THAT'S ALL 12!!!!.
and I dont get where he got G, D#... and how he uses them without creating a clash... or nasty sound...
So if i play the notes in the chords of the same key will they not clash? (i'm off to try this :) lol)..
I know funk players use chromatic riffs, but i've not heard one where they use all 12 notes...
thanks you've been a great help :)
