The short reason of why it sounds so melodic with all 11 notes is that it takes primarily melodic sequences (as well as some augmented I think i heard at one point), and integrates passing tones in carefully. For example, the first notes after the harp like intro, that start the main melody are (with the first note on the high e string): e: 17 15 14 15b: 15 15 15 15g: 15 ...

not quite sure if this has been said and i didnt see but when i try to practice chords i usually pick a root note say c, and just review all the possibilities of chords i can make around c and really try to associate the shape with the sound. if you know what minor 7 flat 5 chords like against the root then youll know when its right to play during the middle of a melody for example.another way is to invent a simple melody of say 2 or 3 bars or so. play it, and then try to play it with 2 note har...
