I think you have sent me websites too, I do use the to know which notes are in a key sometimes for writing songs especially if I want to put in a solo, but I do not practice a pattern of those notes
Scales and modes are informative.
The Giants are out of luck. Damn it.
I know when i throw in lead lines sometimes playing with chris I hit some sour notes when I did not mean to and I think that is cause I played a major scale when a minor was in order, as when I play the guitar my mind actually thinks in the terms whole step whole step half step, whole step whole step whole step half step, that is where my mind is, I transpose that to the fretboard as to which notes should be available but I hear some that sound sour to me when listening back, and I know I stay in those parameters, the best i can figure is minor keys have a different parameter. I know my thinking is not normal, but it is what it is, and since my songs are happy mostly it works for me
Meh... You're having fun. So, there's always that.
