One Final Reason Why you can ignore the Chord & Guide Tones
In my tune Romantic Notions, the solo just avoids notes that were played fairly recently. It would be random except its following that rule, so maybe the mind picks up on the fact there's SOME kind of logic to it. It's quite an effective solo if you ask me. It starts somewhere around 5:1O or 5:45 I seem to remember.
