Hi Mike, et. al.,

Lately I've been practising major scales, as parallel thirds. Most of the time this means playing the scale note as the highest note, and adding the third below. However, when I land on the home note (name note of the scale), usually I switch to a fourth below (fifth note of the scale), otherwise is sounds like I'm playing the relative minor scale instead. Maybe I should try practising parallel sixths. That could be interesting . . .

Wes Montgomery used to play octaves, which requires an instrument with very good intonation. Many guitars just aren't up to that. Nor are many guitarists, apparently, considering the awe that Wes' feats inspired.

Thanks for another interesting thread,
Emmit Sycamore
