Playing simple melody lines is a good thing and something I really like problem is adding the spices to them to make them come alive.
So give am a few ideas, I play a simple melody line and stick in an arpeggio or 2 some scale notes, trying to change the scale with the chord changes but it still sounds dull and lifeless, simple melody lines sound good but every time I try and add the spices I just don't get that melodic sound I'm looking for ?
I sit in those jams and watch some of those folks smoke that fretboard really sounds good. I know years of practice makes this happen and I'm certainly willing to pay my dues, but I just feel like there is a piece of the puzzle missing ?
I played a New Jam last Saturday and there was a mandolin teacher doing some picking after the jam he and I talked about lessons and he said listening to me I was real close to where I want to be and I plan on getting some lessons from him next month.
Anyone got some advice for me in the mean time ?
Thanks Iron
