    A couple more themes you could explore:
    1. Targeting chord tones.
    2. Take the appropriate scale and drop some notes so you restrict yourself to fewer notes, not more! Eg you could go aeolian and drop the 3rd and 7th, leaving you 1,2,4,5,b6. All the notes of the scale will still "fit" but the inherent scale sound will be different.

    Idk if this will get you where you want to be, but hopefully you'll enjoy the journey!


    @midiglitch

    Thanks, I think the journey may prove to be a long one

    ;)

    Thanks for clearing those things up.

    I'm hoping, in the long run, to adopt the same methods as yourself. It's just that on the learning curve, I think it makes me feel more assured and comfortable to be able to "name" something.

    I'll keep plodding on

    :)
    Be careful with the naming thing... I spent two years doing a reinforced block a particular way in Karate then one day I get told ... it's not a block (which I should know already - nothing is) and it's not reinforcing... ;) strange thing is I never thought a "spear hand strike" was for punching people with my finger tips ;)

    Names are stuff to hang stuff off, sure enough but it's more fun to do stuff than mention it ;)
    A sig-nat-eur? What am I meant to use this for ffs?! Is this thing recording?

    provided you mean the "names is for tombstones baby" it's a great quote although I can't watch Roger Moore Bond films these days :(

    I've never understood modes, and prefer to do what Frankus said.  Except he clearly has an understanding of what he is doing - I play stuff that sounds good (well, to me) then play stuff over the top until it sounds good, and work out what I did.  And as I play heavy rock, it's very straightforward, with no real need to worry about complex chords or chord changes within the space of a beat (a la jazz).

    Diminished arpeggios are just made for sweeping at the end of a solo, though ;)
