Over the past few days, I been playing allot of freestyle stuff.. Off the cuff sort of speak. I started putting together some chords, some made up, and come up with a really cool tune that I am trying to put into a song. No lyrics to it, just music. A few people heard it while I was playing with it, and said it sounded really odd, but really cool. I was thinking that myself before a couple people said it. Now most of you know, I do NOT know therory, or even what alot of chords are. I know allot of them, and how they sound, but calling them out, can't tell ya most the time what chord it is. Just one I learned, and goes there.. So, I have NO idea what it is I am doing, but this stuff I have been coming up with the past few days sounds really cool, and I am going to put some of these riffs in an on paper song.
Anyway.. The question is, does anyone else use out of the box chords and notes in their stuff to give it a unique flavor? I know that I have always done it not thinking about it for the years I have played, but never really conciously. There a fast progresion of chords I am bouncing around right now with an alternating "weird" but very pronounced note in it, that how it was said to me "makes your ears perk up.." They said it is a disturbing, but cool note in the chord that gave it a sinister tone to it.. It is kinda cool. If I can get some video of it, I'll try and catch it and share it. I just have a hard time with videos, because the way I have to sit to play. But, I'll try..
Anyway.. I don't know how to end this post, or where I am going.. Just wondered if anyone else does some weird but cool stuff with notes..
