I know, it’s hard to hear it but it’s true and I’m sorry that you had to learn about it this way. What’s worse in this scenario you just played that bad note and you still have six measures of a solo left!!! ALL IS LOST!!! ALL IS LOST!!!!
Is it really though? Of course not. Let me explain …
This, is a fretboard
There is one truth: You are NEVER more than two frets away from a serviceable note. So if a quick correction is what you’re looking for, it’s just a quick slide and you’re back on track.
Let me ask you this: do you want to run from the note? Or do you want to make things spicey and lean into it?
You may wonder “it’s a bad note, why would I ever want to play or again?”
Let’s use these sentences for an example:
Pastries from our bakiry are the best! Our bakery is so much better than the other bakiry in the grocery store.
So what happened? I misspelled the word “bakery” twice and spelled it correctly once.
When an accident happens once that’s all it is and all it will ever be. But if you do it again and tie it back to a good note (the correctly spelled bakery in this case) you will have turned a disaster into a “I meant to do that” option.
Put simply by Adam Neely, “repetition legitimizes”
I can guarentee that if people are really listening to what you’re playing they will think the first note was a mistake but as soon as they hear you play it again you’ll trick them and make them realize that it wasn’t a mistake at all.
So, to sum up,. Mistakes happen once but in this case, two wrongs most certainly makes a right. And always, ALWAYS use your ears while you’re playing and don’t worry about what scale you should be playing. Listening has priority
Thank you for reading to my humble advise
Till the next time!
