I've been developing a method for learning and playing western music based on some unconventional but no new concepts.
It takes ideas from Bela Bartok, Barry Harris, John Coltrane, Pat Martino and two relatively recent projects; HAVISY and Meta Harmony.
My departures from said works consist in aplying the concepts on "all minor thirds" tuned string instruments, ditching note names in favor of duodecimal notation and how that enables a one to one correlation between the mental representation and the instrument.
For me, after thirtysomething years trying to actually get music, it feels like a revellation. It took me from perpetual novice to interesting harmonic improvisation in a few days.
So I whant to share it in the hope that it will probably help others.
I won't claim that this is THE method. It is just what works for my terribly monotropic and glitchy brain and will probably help you if that's your thing too.
A thread...
