I have been playing guitar more than 15 years. I know music theory and good amount of scales. Once a pro jazz player told me my musical mind is more advanced then my playing as i can make very sophisticated compositions and sing to him. I had played hard-core, punk thrash metal in my early days but now i am more into jazzy sounding neoclasiccal, instrumental music. I can play good deal of Guitar and bass average keys and drums.
My late time style is more emotional and depressive (or sad) even if i play in major but fast.
Having said that,
After all those years playing lots of different progressions i begin to have problems creating them. Problem is that i start to play chords one after an other and when i feel it is finished it seems that i have played all the possible chords in that scale, like A B C D E F G A. Sometimes i realize that i am sweeping two octaves with chord. It is such a disaster that when you only play the base note instead of whole chord, it creates a melody itself. Though it supposed to be rhythm. I can still make good leads to those progressions. Although they sound good when finished, this long progression bothers me as I haven't heard such long progressions accept the ones John Scofield played. Though it is the way he plays leads.
An other issue is; i can not create unique, firm arpeggios. Though i can play them well when on a sheet. When i try to create unique arpeggios i found myself jumping from strings to strings covering 5 - 6 frets range etc. When i play them it is very clear that they are forced.
Can you comment and help?
