I have dudes I play with (musically) who are into all this...and the way they play, and how we work together makes no sense...i.e, I can "feel" the passage, and they must dissect it...in most cases, and I know I am ybringing Tsuken's rediclure on me, my non-theoretically based solution always sounds best....
heh, same here man. My musical theory knowlege pretty much just involves reading sheet music and messing about on scales for solo's.

Although my way of learning scales is kinda whack. I just figured out the pattern then moved it up or down the fret board depending on what key in needs to be in :S

Play what sounds good i say, musical masturbation gets old after a while and your wrist gets sore :P

Hehehe, Piano players know all the notes, scales, modes, relationship counselling, the works. They're generally itellectuallier than guitarists too.

For pretty much 25 years now, I just look at our keyboard player and ask him, "What was that I just played?" :)

schoenberg says we must exploit every modal voicing before we can change key
key change`s rely on the neopolitan

as the new tension in the new key

You could post the lyric,to get a definitive answer to your main question.Clapton uses 13ths to resolve things.But he's
just a beginner who rarely writes original material.(Tears in Heaven being a rare exception.)

Oh I should think he's written a few more than that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton_discography

Lets just take a guesstimate at around about a hundred, plus soundtracks. Tears in Heaven would be one of the worst songs he's written IMO.

and a lot of the blues stuff he does are completely new arrangements of the standards - so he re-uses the lyrics, at least he credits them, not like Led Zep did ;)
