    Default Accidents do happen

    Ever accidently hit a wrong note and it sounded better?

    I don't remember what chord I was playing under but I was just jammin' and hit a Bb note instead of B (on A string) and it sounded so good there.

    It must be a tritone.

    I have heard of bad mistakes and I guess a good mistake would be alright.

    You're right about that and I have my share of 'em but hitting a wrong note that belonged there is a mistake I'm glad I made.

    When I'm jammin' I think about intervals and I can't name all the chords I'm hitting. Sort of like a lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, I won't remember all that jazz.

    You know that feeling you get when you are leaning back in a chair on two legs and you start to tip backwards, and then regain your balance?
    That's what playing guitar feels like to me!

    A wise sage once told me........................

    If you hit a bad note on a solo, you have two options:

    -Play it again more forcefully and look around like you meant it to sound like that

    -Keep bending the note until it sounds right

    Every now and then a fret fart works out for the good.
