	"Yes, I do. Basically I have a way of breaking down chords into scales and I usually take them to the nearest relative minor and I work on it from there. I have my own symbols which symbolise what scales are. I don’t use the names for the scales that other people use for them. They are exactly the same it’s just that I name them differently. So what I do is, when I use my own symbols to represent scales or chords or whatever, the letter is only a way of indicating what it is, the letter doesn’t indicate a route or anything. So it’s like one of my symbols - like an AX or something - doesn’t mean that A is the route, it’s just a way of letting me know what that scale is and I think of it from end to end. I think of it more as a colour, like a linear thing and as the chords change then all of the notes change. Like when I look at the guitar neck as the chord change I see all the dots changing under my fingers and then all I have to do is improvise with them. Obviously you make mistakes like you’re gonna do wh en you’re improvising."		"Yes, I do.

IM - So, just going back to what you said about your writing things down, can you read music?

"No."

IM - So, do you have your own system of notating things,

"Yes, I do. Basically I have a way of breaking down chords into scales and I usually take them to the nearest relative minor and I work on it from there. I have my own symbols which symbolise what scales are. I don’t use the names for the scales that other people use for them. They are exactly the same it’s just that I name them differently.
