They have specialized knowledge of a variety of genres and can “activate” any of these playing modes in an instant. They are unpredictable in that their playing incorporates various styles regardless of what primary genre they’re operating in. They are multi-dimensional and “cook much more than chicken” (…so to speak). Basically, they never run out of things to play. They’re not afraid to explore musical elements outside their comfort zone. Their musical growth never reaches a final destination but is a continuous journey. …And I have to admit.

Yes, you can pick up our 300-pg home study course and find general music theory, ear-training, and various progressions from other genres, but our main focus up until now has been on gospel music. I simply called it “drilling deep” or focusing only on one type of player. It was the classic “don’t try to please everyone” and “stick with what you know best” philosophy. But even I’ve realized the necessity for gospel (and ALL) musicians to explore other genres as there is a lot to be discovered by doing this. Not only do you increase your creativity by pulling chords, patterns, licks, and tricks from other places, but you break yourself away from being limited to …

One of the skills you have to learn ~ is how to cover a mistake. Whenever you play a discordant note, what some call a ‘wrong note’ – you get off it right away! You certainly may use them as stepping stones, meaning when you play it (or them) you just touch them and quickly move to the next note. Another way of saying this is ~ you can use discordant notes as links to bridge one harmonious note to the other. Again, let it be clear: the trick is to not dwell long or linger on the discordant note. In real terms ~ you may use all notes when you play, but discordant notes you use as passing tones. Yes! DO use ‘discordant notes’ – they give your music …
