i'm not talking about structure here.
i'm just trying to express my extreme elation/ectasy when someone plays a really nice meaty riff while i play a repeated lick or solo over it. it doesn't even have to be heavy or particularily meaty either. the Hell Song by Sum 41 (single of Does This Look Infected?) does it terrifically. my friend played the riff and i played that neat little riff over it and we switched back and forth for a while and it was just great.
no structure or musicality technicalities.
it's very simple, but beautiful when done right. most bands do this with solos (ex.metallica) but i haven't ever really heard what i'm talking about. you need to play about the same volume. get a really solid,moving riff going. then just solo/play repeated licks over it. jamming you know?
i'm just wondering if you guys feel like i do about it.
Thanks for listening to this small piece of me.
