For whats its worth they are all too contrived and long. I'm guessing thats a result of the fact that the discussion with your band about the name is itself contrived and long. It kind of shows...

The melody notes are all from the G major scale. This means a good starting point would be to look at the chords contained in this scale:

G
Am
Bm
C
D
Em
F#dim

Its good thanks for asking! I am somewhat less obsessive about it now, but still working on it in the background.

Where did I get to, lets see. I've been running the 7th arps from the major scale...

Hmmm, if anything, Hendrix is quite uncool in guitar circles nowadays. There is always someone ready to bash him. Likewise for SRV. I don't get it.

Ultimately I think what affects opinion on this...

Are you experienced? :confused:

I totally agree with your sentiment. A strat is a beautifully simple instrument. There is nothing complicated or magic about it. There is no need to use feeler guages to measure precise distances....

No, its a terrible idea.

As Vai himself rightly says, the problem is not with the guitar as an instrument, it is with the temprament used on all modern instruments. If you want to play with other...

Not only sad, but an amazingly beautiful musician.

*Name dropping alert* I used to live in the same room as Nick in my university dorms (with a 30 year gap between us of course...:D).

I'm curious if there has been any specific research into this. I was initially inclined to agree that we could all have slightly differing ranges of visual spectrum sensitivity.

However, I have...

Thanks a lot mate. Always glad to hear that someone is enjoying what we do!

We still cannot experience them. We can see them on a monitor if they are rendered using visible light (much like transposing inaudible sounds into an octave where we have sensitivity).

I am sure...

Its like colour (exactly the same really, colours are just frequencies like sounds)

You can't imagine a colour you have never seen because imagination is based on two things: memory and...

Eric Clapton and Michael Buble are not what most would typically classify as Jazz. Having said that, you may want to check out George Benson. Great jazz guitarist and singer, but a lot of stuff he...

Look into diagonal scale and apreggio patterns.

Personally I rely on shapes but not shapes of the chords. I have learnt the shapes of each arpeggio I know across the whole neck. I recognise each note in the shape as a certain interval (so I don't...

Absolutely agree.

Its kind of offensive to see someone waste so much time. I would kill a man with my bare hands for an extra 5-7 hours a day. If I got it I wouldn't spend a second on PP.

Interesting.

Like Jon, I can re-string a guitar pretty close to pitch, just by familiarity (though more than a couple of cents in my case, more like 10-20).

I think you are right in...

Thanks as usual Jon!

This all makes sense to me. I guess I was kind of overthinking it and missed the whole parallel concept. Its interesting to know that it is a recognised concept. I will read...

Mal,
I don't have a prob with playing it, so no need to let the bass pick up the roots. I'm trying to understand if there is any theory linking them together.

If you look closely you will see...

Thanks for that Gersdal!

Looking at the website I get the impression that this lesson is designed to teach you the head. I actually have full notation for this song already, so I can pick it up...

So, I've been learning the changes and trying to solo over this.

Soloing is pretty straightforward as the vast majority of the song is a minor vamp.

However, the chord changes in the...

Schooligo,
I pretty much agree with you: I don't believe Rockchic's path should be that of a performer.

However, you can sort of see why lots of people on here would jump straight into performing...

Absolutely agree with the above. You need to do both.

Just as a side issue, you mention you don't normally use compression, just distortion. You are aware that distortion provides a hell of a lot...

Well, why do you think they are right? Would you offer this same advice to derranged murderers (i.e. do what you love!). People sprout all kinds of platitudes without thinking twice about the actual...

Not that I am in any way exemplary: I believe that whatever you do for a living is, by deffinition, hard work. To balance work, you always need play. I'd rather keep my playtime in music and my work...
