There have been many articles and teaching systems that have attempted to wipe clean the "theory" slate so musicians would stop worryin about what's right and just "hear" things, and teach strictly based on reating geometric patterns. forget theory, scale structure, and think geometrically. What you need to do is lose the idea of the semantics, and think in terms of a visual interpretation of the guitar. I can dig up a book or two that teach based around that method basically using chord structures are "pockets" for certain solo frameworks.Īs far as the idea that they are the "same" as scales.well, in that you're playing sequential notes, sure.but then anything like that is a scale of some sort. As I said in the other thread, "pocket" or "box" are used as very common systems for visualizing 6-string fretboards. You can choose to take the narrow path OR the wide path (or both) to steel enlightenment Grasshopper!īobby, David found what I haven't been able to, a pretty similar description of the same thing on steel, by Buddy Emmons. I personally think theres as many pockets to be found on the simplest lap steel as on the most fully loaded D12. Most times I usually think of them as partial scales that work in certain charachteristic ways over different chord shapes or tonal centers. I don't know if anyone else referred to these "boxes" as "pockets" prior to Buddy Emmons or not. ![]() "The Pocket Corner" and "Minor Abrasions in the Pockets" are the articles. A pocket can very well contain a scale(s), but it's more like a "tab" tool for improvising. Based on the terminology used by Buddy Emmons in these ancient Steel Guitarist magazine articles, a "pocket" refers to a visual representation of notes available within a four or five fret range, the same thing six-stringers refer to as a "box" position. A scale can also be performed mostly or entirely at one fret position, using pedals and levers. A scale can be performed entirely up and down one string, a la Lindley or Bhattacharya.
