[B] I still haven't figured out what chord type is designated by a triangle yet.
*Major...- minor o diminished + augmented
cool thread
True, rock music is sort of a "mutt" breed of musical form.You don't have to pick just one style of music to bass your rock playing off of, try to find elements of each style that you can add in to your playing.
Blues...probably the most important aspect of this genre of music and its relationship to rock is its use of a minor scale over top of a major chord progression. Also, there is a lot of interesting rhythmic things you here in blues soloing, where the soloist is actually playing over the beat instead of locking into it, often grouing notes in 5, 6, 7, or 8 to the beat..check out Hendrixs' Voodoo child for a good example of this.
From classical music you can learn a lot of cool arpeggio ideas.
From jazz you can incorporate the use of syncopation, chromatics, and chord extensions.
