registerFusion Frollicks-Outside Dominants prt3
My first time was in the early 90's. I was about 17 or 18 at the time and the experience still gives me sleepless nights to this day!
I don’t know why,
I can’t remember a transition between before and after,
There was no real explanation for it,
It appeared in a movie, but wasn’t the most prominent part,
It is the most requested song I have ever encountered,
I apologies to the composer, but I think the song is canine anal body refuse, covered in a fine film of ebola......In a bag!
I don't understand why people like it,
I don’t know anyone who likes the song,
I don’t remember the day before,
I don’t remember any tripod robots or a strange comet appearing around the time,
I wasn’t told about it in school,
My parents never told me about it,
My parents, parents never told them,
I do remember it was a friday evening,
It seems to only happen in the UK,
Nobody who is sober ever mentions it,
It is not in any way, shape or form a musical triumph,
It wouldn’t have crossed Beethoven's mind to write it,
If your a Minker/Binlid/Chav/Pikey/General pond life, then you’ll automatically know all the words and posses the ability to do that dance with your arms in the air......all out of time!
The samaritans get weekly calls from musicians about it,
It has 3 chords and no guitar solo for Holdsworths sake!!!!!
It isn’t a hidden government tax on the musically competent,
Yet I remember the day,
the moment,
the very second,
when a very pretty little goddess trotted up to me and asked ( in a, how should I say, colloquial Dundonian, inebriated, vowel-less, audio dyslexic drawl),
“A’ pal! Y’gonnae gee’us Mustang Sally!”
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I always get asked, how you use these outside ideas over a standard pop cover tune, so here is some ideas for playing over the chord progression for the most common and (for musicians) annoyingly popular cover of them all!
Mustang Sally!
In this solo example I play over the chorus three times. In the first pass I use mainly Blues scales, in the second I use Melodic Minors and in the third I mix and match with the odd bit of chromaticism here and there.
Wether you analyze the solo note for note or just learn a couple of licks here and there, pay attention to the phrasing. This is how you make the outside, clever stuff fit into something straight.
NOTE-The transcription has had to be split up due to the picture sizing restrictions. Example 1-5 is the solo transcription and example 6 is the chord/scale chart and backing track.
