STROOOOONG mushy cheese song for your acoustic cover list I posted last night in the "new music bc we're old" thread. haven't sat down to learn it yet. google says it's in G#
Wylde is Irish Catholic and has spoken about his faith, calling himself a "soldier of Christ". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakk_Wylde?wprov=sfla1
Met him once on the beach in ocean city, he looked funny in board shorts and a tank top. Had a five second conversation,pretty cool dude
He is working with ghee youth band now but on Oct 2nd the youth are doing the whole regular service worship. I am excited..... it's cool to see. Also all the teenage girls are paying attention now he is on stage and with a guitar. Really isn't that why anyone starts playing.
Anyone here ever built a Partscaster? I'm thinking of doing one with some Fender '69 pickups. My buddy has an early 2000s MIM body that's just been collecting dust.
got both of these yesterday Left is a 2000 MIM that I got for $300, right is a 2010 MIM that I paid $200 for. I've been noodling around on them all night and morning. I'm thinking of turning the black one into a project, not sure exactly what kind of project though.
sanded down both of these necks They play so damn well. All I wanna do is get more Strats and sand down their necks.
So I think this is just awesome. Last Saturday we were playing a wing fest and before we started playing, our sound guy's kids came up and asked if they could play my drums and our guitar player's guitar during our first break, just for a song or two. We said yes, of course. But I was completely blown away by these kids. So nice to see kids get into music like this at such an early age. The girl is 10 Boy is 8
I'm always impressed with young kids playing instruments. I couldn't imagine trying to teach my five year old how to play a guitar
aye sahn. another acoustic cover for your repertoire. I know you mentioned in another thread you don't know Chainsmokers and/or only know of that god awful take a selfie song. every girl I know in their 20s loves the song Closer. The song itself is meh, even live on molly. I tried very hard to get into it at their show last weekend at acl. that's neither here nor there. Capo the 3rd fret and play variations of C > D > Em > D for the verse and pre-chorus (for the verse I just do the first 3 strings on a C, D and Em normal chords. Then pre-chorus do the same first 3 strings for C and slide fingers up 2 frets for the D). for the chorus channel your inner Fuel - Shimmer when he plays the bar chords but only holding down on the A,D,&B strings playing the same C > D > Em > D almost the same rhythm and everything as shimmer. it's a catchy song. makes pussies wet. etc. etc.
Good looking out fam but you wasted a lot of typing on that textual tab. I had that shit figured out soon as I heard it
I have that same dopey face when I play. Unless I have to play a song by Marroon 5. Then it's a sad face.
little jameson + little mary jane = figured out Nothing Else Matters last night on piano and it sounds fucking awesome. Always been one of my favorite intros and it sounds like classical music on piano I'm gonna have to pull it out first time i get a chance to randomly play for people. feel like nobody would expect metallica
I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
This song popped up on my phone today. Brought a tear to my eye - first solo I ever learned. Many hours spent when I was 15 trying to get it down. solo starts about 4:10
Me and a couple dudes from other local bands are going to do a RATM show on the night of the inauguration. Got a little less than two months to figure all those goddamn solos.
I play through an egnater renegade 65 head and a matching 2x12 cab with celestion bluebacks. Will play the show mostly with a strat, but will use a les Paul on the songs that need an on/off toggle. (Know your enemy, e.g.)
Makes it a bit more fun. To be honest, the crazy noise solos are a bit easier to learn so far than some of his regular solos like Take The Power Back:
So in grad school i used to play some open mic nights around Orlando. When I met my now wife, music sadly kind of took a back seat. Well a few months ago, I made it a goal to do another open mic before the end of the year. Fast forward to tonight and I finally picked up and seriously played my guitar for the first time in probably 7 years. My hand hurts. I'm only going to focus on about 3-4 easy songs for the next few weeks, so hopefully I'm able to meet my goal while simultaneously getting back in the habit. So far the set list is looking like: Hear You Me (Jimmy Eat World) Stay or Leave (Dave Mathews) Thinking of adding Oh My Sweet Carolina and then something ridiculous like Fuck Her Gently or some other Tenacious D song.
Did the same from 10th grade through sophomore year in college. Hillsongs United was where it was at!
If you are looking for something highly mobile, my pal picked this up and I was amazed at the quality. We bought a 5K axfx for the studio last year and honestly this is on par at a fraction of the cost. Throw it on a mobile device, Ipad or whatever and as long as you play where a board is available, plug and play with everything you need that will fit in a briefcase. Check out some of the youtube vids for comparisons. https://www.positivegrid.com/bias-fx/
Anybody here a music major or know the technical aspects of music? I'm really trying to increase my musical knowledge and retrace a lot of the steps that I skipped over the last 20 years. I feel comfortable throwing in a few of the popular major/minor modes into my solos to keep them interestingish, but I'd really like to move deeper into composition and note choice. Here's my question: In the video below, Guthrie Govan shreds over a solid chord progression the chord progression, as I've discerned, is the following First part: E - C - E - C- Second part: C#m - A - C#m - A repeat Third part: G - G# - F# - E Question 1: what key is the first part in? Question 2: when soloing over that progression, would one just choose chord specific arpeggios and shared notes between E major and C major, or are there specific scales that work over both? Question 3: Second part, that appears to be in either C#m or in A major. I assume it has to be C#m, though, because F#m (A major's relative minor) doesn't work at all. What gives? Question 4: Third part I don't understand anything about how it makes sense or sounds good. I understand how chromatic passing tones work in solos, but this looks like chromatic passing chords, which seems like it would be awful. Again, is soloing over this progression merely playing independent arpeggios of those chords? I will love you forever if somebody can talk me through this and explain why/where my questions are stupid.
good questions eHo. I only listened once and didn't sniff out the key--only that it changed and modulated (guitar is in the other room and my relative pitch is only so good). So the second part sounded like a modulation/variation. I used to be militant in sticking with key and theory to the point that if it wasn't in my book of understanding it was wrong wrong wrong and wouldn't work. I was thinking about Hendrix's Wind Cries Mary when you brought it up and went to google (lol at this guy dong that exact thing) The half steps give you your own interpretation of a passage. It was weird when I started fucking with this back in the old days, but it becomes a staple. Punk rock does this a lot as well with seemingly dissonant chords. I had issues with this when I started playing because it went against what I was taught.
That video is super helpful, and after you posted it, passing chords totally make sense and I actually use them pretty regularly in exactly the way the dude on the video says. I asked the wrong question (knew that would happen). The third section that goes G-G#-F#-E isn't really comprised of passing chords, as they're all strummed and played for the measure - i.e., they aren't resolving to a key chord (mostly because I have no idea what key it's actually in).
they're not in a key. It's a passage. The key is the dominant note of the passage. So, you have to be mindful of the passage when you're playing when the chords meander away from the dominant note. Go to about 1:45 and listen. This is a pretty famous piece called Addagio for Strings. It kind of does that shit.
sorry if I'm fucking this up. I think I know what you're asking, or I'm just projecting my frustrations on you. I used to wonder how those dudes did everything because they made it look effortless. After a while you take into consideration that they wrote it, they've played it, they know what's gonna happen. If you have really good pitch, your life gets easier.
That makes sense. In that case, if you're soloing or even picking a melody/harmony in a passage like that, what do you choose?
Not at all. I'm happy that somebody responded, and that you've actually helped clear a piece of it up for me.
