    I love noodling around like that at night with all the lights of, the cats sleeping on my keyboard and the reverb ringing in the distance. The day could have been busy as hell, but that always brings me back. Great lesson as always, man 🤘

    I do play stuff like that after a couple hours of guitar exercises, escales and harder rock and it feels like a meditation after hardcore training. Using reverb and delays help a lot in getting into this kind of “trascendence” mode. This one of yours gave me some more inspiration. Thanks man.

    Thank you, I always wanted to come close to sounding like this and being able to play it on the fly for when I'm in my "ambient" moods. Adding a lead or filter tone will really make these scales explode in their versatility

    Greg, thanks for this! I'm always looking to expand my songwriting away from the boring power chord stuff. I have a love for Drop D. I like how you explain why you do what you're doing on the guitar instead of just playing stuff. Understanding the when, why and how gives us the understanding to come up with our own stuff!
