I tried a "now analysing" type thread a million years ago and it didn't go very far, but nevertheless it would be good to try again and see if more people are up for it.

We might have to "ban" a...

I think what trips up those of used to playing 4/4 in 99% of the time is that here we are looking for six notes on the pulse, but it's not sextuplets (2 groups of 3) but 3 groups of 2 instead. A lot...

My take is:

- The parent key looks like D major. But, the progression indeed seems to rest on A.

- The major chord on the flat 7 note (G here, referring to A as "home") is very common in rock...

For this kind of run I "naturally" found myself using only hammers for a long time (but then I'm a bad player) - it allows you to be a bit lazy in moving all fingers to the new string..

But, it...

Yep, descending that really shows any weakness in pull-off technique :eek:

I guess the pattern, back down the same shape, would be:

e--- 13 12 10
b--- 13 10 13 12 10

etc.. and so on.

I bet your fingers want to start 13 10 12 on the "b" string :eek:

I'm sure this is just a coincidence of permutations of notes - it's going to happen now and again . .

Coldplay may choose to be indignant on the basis that if you're british, unless you are very...

Omit the last bar line (the end of the staff takes care) and press 'j' (for justify)

There could be a logic that says if the band is about to go somewhere then you could stick it out a while, get better known, make contacts etc. and then you'll be a more attractive hire to other...

If you've got to fit a tune within an octave having different key notes would be useful as it would be otherwise even more limiting than it is already.

I'm only physically capable of doing the ones where you stick in one box pattern and just play every note in a row :) I really should experiment with this stuff beyond that on both guitar and keys...

In the 1st bar all but one of the chromatic notes is on the weak 2 & 4 1/16 of the beat and it sounds like the classic "filling in the gaps" type licks that even dedicated "stuck in the box" pent...

In standard and then capo, no detuning down - I think this was partly to fit things into Morrisey's vocal range, but it anyway contributes to the sound.

EDIT: And don't forget to make the capo...

As "high-strung" mentioned Johnny Marr was tuning up a tone quite a lot in the early days. But, as he found out, you're going to break a lot of strings like that so it's a lot easier to use a capo !!...

http://www.good-ear.com/ lets you control the level right from the real basics up to tricky stuff.

Indeed - good point, its not a rule it's a usage thing. You were kind enough to not point out that 15 is in fact divisible by 3 as well :)

Good answer Jed.. but one typo as there are normally only two (triplet) beats in 6/8 (compound time). Bringing that in kind of screws up the time signature definition, but simple time and compound...

You lost me Blut, but hazarding a guess we got side tracked into geography, if you mean houses where the so-called british "monarchy" live (partly at the tax payers expense) then:

Windsor Castle...

Or if recording on PC/Mac you can cheat with a "virtual drummer" plug-in => get results quick, but you can also analyse what comes out!

Wasn't it Blue Moon (da de dah... I saw you walking alone) quoted on Sunshine for your Love - or is that my ignorance showing yet again?

+1 for everything said. One extra comment from me is that even when playing e.g. a 3NPS scale type run I will start with my thumb behind when on the Low E but as i work towards the high E the thumb...

Answering the Cubase point. I use Cubase SE3. It's designed to be like a virtual studio, like most of these programs. So you have tracks and each track has a fader, EQ, inserts-sends etc. Tracks can...

If we all had no sense of tempo drummers would be even harder to find than they are !!

Even then, any musician should be able to play at a fairly reliable tempo for a given piece. Saying that,...

The added flat corresponds to the next key note round the circle. So for F you are adding Bb, for Bb adding Eb and so on.

I think we can safely conclude that the drugs do work..
