When writing music, whether it be jazz, noise rock, or surf, I
generaly let feeling take more precedent than technical skill. Thus i
really dont pay much attention to why what ive created is what it is.
Even though i know scales and modes i was wondering if there were any
that you guys out there use more than others for surf style guitar.
On an unrelated note, why do so many of the classic surf bands such
as the Ventures and the Lively Ones play so many darn covers?
Most of the time I'm in the camp of "Fish'n for Notes" when I'm
writing. I just start grabbing notes and listening to what comes out.
Yet other times I may want to do a song in a specific mode, key etc.
and it becomes an exercise that happens to workout.
I may be searching for a melody or groove and then use my
understanding of music theory and arranging to refine it. But the
really cool thing about music is that there's no such thing as a
single correct way of doing things.
Great music really is in the mind of the composer. How he or she can
extract that information is a very personal experience of the heart
and soul, mind, a case of beer, cool buds or all of the above.
