hm...what i am searching for in soloing is what Jerry Garcia was doing. ok ok so i love his style, but i think his style is widely unexplored and there is enough room in there for me to try to pick up on some of that stuff.

In jerry's solo's, they went with the rhythm and the pitch of the melody alot, but i have a hard time achieving this on 3 note per string scales. its utterly impossible because the octaves are lower/higher than jerry played them. Im thinking about finding the notes on the octave jerry played them on, and playing the scale around an octave, instead of a few.
