The people replying to this thread, the person who wrote this blog are so far away from me it is hard to say we inhabit the same field called 'music'.
I play a lot of improvised lead lines. I know my pentatonic scale shapes on the fretboard, but I also play lots of notes not in those shapes...because I like the way they sound. I also play a lot of 1/4 tone bends (notes between the piano keys) which don't even fit in the traditional system, but sound good. I say this as it is an interesting case of 'more than one way to skin a cat'
