Miden I admire the musician who plays a C# between a C note and a D note. You can call that Jazz, rock, or just improvising. And I have heard a line of notes that were so good far better than a line played with many more notes. By not playing the notes exactly as they were written you have room to express yourself -- the song becomes you.
There musicians who cannot read music and those who have studied for years; they may even have degrees but there in law which will point out the best. It is like someone’s opinion, it’s there’s they own it – they feel it and they cannot be told they are incorrect. I am not talking about fact here just opinions.
So Miden great for you if you’re giving it a try. This post is for many like you who would enjoy to having a song that has a flavor of you; even if it’s only two notes that you have added.
