If you hit a wrong note by accident, sliding up or down one fret, or repeating the wrong note will make it sound both good and intentional.

Didn't bebop jazz solos take advantage of this to an extreme? As long as the root notes in your phrase are there, you can pretty much slide up/down to whatever and sound highly technical.

Well it's not *quite* that simple, but yea...bebop does give you that freedom (mostly because the harmony is so complex anyway that just about any note will fit into the chords :cool:
