Well, all of the above sounds correct and useful, but I just wanna have a good time making my music mine. Mostly I play all kinds of folk music. Some who read your post will probably be inspired to delve deeper into jazz improvisation with all those mind blowing chords.
Thanks for your input, maybe it will inspire someone to begin a study of jazz. ld:
Before we go too much further on this may I just get your definition of "Folk " music. Here in the UK it is Traditional ,Old Worlde and often involves a maiden rising up in the morning , meeting a ne'er do good lusty lad and possibly not still being a maiden at the setting of the sun !! Or certainly before the song ends lol.
The afficianados of this genre ,with some possible notable exceptions such as Steeleye Span (my personal folk rock favourites) especially the Traditional Irish Music Mob, seem to disapprove of any sort of improvisation ....despite the fact that the music is screaming out for it and it gets it from me....What is your definition of folk music? I've shown you mine now you show me yours
