Ok, perhaps each scale within the same key signature doesn't have the exact same notes, but they do *share* the same notes. I mean, none of the scales I mentioned previously deviate from the note structures found within the root. While not every scale offers the exact same notes, they all share the same note groupings. Am I being clearer? I mean, I fly around the fretboard and it sounds like a flurry of notes. Herein lies the problem. I want something that sounds more unorthodox....other-worldly. So, my question is, what is a way to make the solo more unique. Should I go up a half-step or down a half-step somewhere within the solo to make it sound more bizarre? Or should I use chromatic runs? I want to make something that sounds a little more disjointed because I am actually tired of the fluid sound produced by most scales that I know.
