Why can’t autistic people sight read?
>>129644974he looks like a white reggie fils-aime
great thread btw
4th post
>>129644990Because it takes continuous practice and effort. Simple as. Autismos can't focus.
so mad he has to carry it over to the next thread hehe
>>1296450866th post
On one hand, every guitarist saying "strat types", "strat style", "strat copies", etc when talking about other brands proves that the shapes still associated with the Stratocaster and not completely generic.On the other hand, I dont see what a win accomplished since everyone will just make legally distinct strat likes anyways like PRS does with their not Les Paul.
>being mad that you don’t have birth defects is this a real thing?
the tism can be a super power though
I don't get the hype for Fender amps, they all sound extremely mid to me
>is this a real thingif it's not then i don't know what i'm looking at
lmao
>>129645134you can cut the mids. hope this helps.
>>129645150take your jester hat off
>>129644990Depends on the tism type, jazz players clearly can
what you don't know is i'm a self taught engineer with no degree making more money than you will see in your lifewhen you try to tell me the way i'm learning something is wrong i laugh because i've demonstrated to myself with measurable results that i know what the fuck i'm doingyou can't defeat the autism you can only step back and shake in terror
>the cashier told me it was a Real Book and I took that at face value. >now it’s time to practice
>>129645150Not on a deluxe reverb
don't post a voca, thanks
why the fuck would anyone post a voca this is a posturing and chest beating thread it's not conducive to sharing music. music is pure and i share it only with the people i jam with
>>129645176move to the neck pick and/or pick farther away from the bridge. that lowers mids. hope this helps
>>129645230neck pickups have more mids than bridge pickups anon
>>129645251nope the bridge has more low mids
>>129645293tard alert
>>129645293incorrect. whats the point of being wrong when someone can just plug their guitar in and verify
>>129645316You can't hear shit.
>>129645201>The Shredder-Slime alliance shall never be broken
>>129645316>guitar we are talking about bass
>>129645318i heard the sound of your mothers pussy when i made it fart
>>129645332Post an FFT of the queef.
>>129645381>do my homework nah
>>129645251Is this true? Nta btw
>>129645412not for bass. low mids is around 500hz on bass and bridge pickups in a practical application have far more low mids than the neck or middle. depends on the timbre of your instrument and where you arbitrarily decide to call something mids
tone is in the fingers? yeah, the fingers i use to adjust the height of my pickups
>>129645311Yes I knew this for the C shape after I watched the video anon linked about rhe CAGED system. I wanted to try multiple shapes and see which I liked. I will never use the G shape but I like E C cause I can hit all the strings.>>129645050Thanks for the advice. This friday when I go looking for a humbucker bass, I'll check out the acoustic and some other guitars. I think acoustic sounds good I just don't want to get anymore guitars until I can play this duster song. I've been stuck on it forever and having more than 1 guitar but not knowing any songs is sad so morr experience needed before I dive into those. My friend plays acoustic and she also mentions that barre chords are easier for her on acoustic. I seem to be getting closer to my goal of not sucking at guitar so I'll keep putting my best foot forward.
>>129645525you have more nut width and more space to work with on an acoustic guitar but a steel string acoustic is going to take a lot more finger strength to barre correctly. nylon is a piss easy guitar for babies
>>129645525you should get used to the G shape, being comfortable with all the shapes is less restrictive and you will be able to play more chords where you want to play them rather than having to shift out of position
>>129644990>slimetismo enjoyerSightreading is simple, but that’s because people overcomplicate it:>look at key signature, choose a position based on available notes (low to high)This minimizes movement >look at shapes and patterns of notes based on key signaturesThis helps you predict what’s coming up >look at accidentals for potential key changes or trouble areasUnless the writer is an asshole, they should make it clear (and even include parenthesis accidentals if they appear in different octaves)>make mental notes, like “ooo this is the triplet section” or “lots of thirds”, “where are the phrasing marks?” or “how long should I hold the fermata?”These are stylistic elements that make the piece come alive.>look for repetitionYou can chunk things to reduce cognitive load>speed run it in your headYou should have a sense of the piece in your mind before you touch a string>fake through mistakes on first pass, never lose rhythm You heard meIt’s just pattern recognition AND semi-autonomous playing (don’t look at your fretboard ever when sightreading UNLESS you have a wide leap or have a few beats rest).So, look at pic rel at you should immediately see a chord in 2nd inversion. There’s no time signature or key signature, but you can immediately see the SHAPE of that in treble clef. You should know where that shape goes on your instrument.
Evertune is such a retarded gimmick.
>>129645595i disagree standard notation does not work as you described, specifically because of key signatures. a C is in the same place on the clef as a C# so your brain can't associate where the note is on the clef with a specific interval. its the same reason i hate piano, treating sharps and flats as "special" notes and only notes in C major get their own place on the clef/white keys is nonsense to me
>>129645606explain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxRe99Tjlwg
>>129645626No.
>>129645621that’s why you learn the notes of a key and not the shapes. if you see an accidental you already immediately know it’s not in the key and you already know what interval it is based on the space away from the key center. also you already know which notes are sharp or flat because of the key signature in the staff. it’s pretty intuitive
Daily Reminder:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hrWxPjKRBDA
Do I really need anything more than this
>>129645649right but none of this is coming from the staff, this is you filling in information which is extra work. the notation isn't helping in this regard. it's not useless, sheet music is a great way to communicate music in written form, i just think you're attributing benefits to it that simply are not there
>>129645698that’s true with everything and it goes away with practice.
>>129645695You need a kennel amp.
>>129645662QRD not watching a guy complain for 20m
>>129645695Is that a dog
>>129645662Okay but I'm going to practice and eventually I won't
>>129645739Yeah it's for children
>>129645621>t. reading music for three decades>can’t tell where a C versus C# is >says it’s nonsense What? It makes perfect sense. If you’ve spent too much time in the key of C beginner land, then you’re like “whys it all the same?”Pic rel is a score. Imagine going through an entire score, seeing the different clefs, the transpositions, and being “this is stupid”.Going back to your C vs C# beginner dilemma, god help you when (you) have to deal with enharmonics:>That C note is the same as B# and Cbb> C# is also DbThere are hundreds of years of scholarship of why these are standardized. >”your brain can't associate where the note is on the clef with a specific interval”(You)r brain, but not to a musician. Children learn this in 3rd grade.Okay, I’ve been harsh and I see all the bellyaching, but you can easily take a week, learn the rules, and your brain WILL associate a note with a specified interval based on the key. Unless you’re playing George Crumb or Iannis Xenakis, these rules make sense.
>>129645752Nice I just lost my dog in Jan. I like it
>>129645739It’s a guitar.
Oh I think i get why the CAGED is so good. I can also play minor chords with these shapes.
>>129645767your problem is the entire content of your posts is irrelevant babbling or being rude for no reason. most of the time there is literally no substance, and if it is it's lost in the rest of your meth post. learn how to edit
>>129645752Correction >C = B# or DbbSee, you’re rubbing off on me! It’s contagious!!!
>>129645798Morning, Sam>Morning, Ralph
>>129645830i'm not bullying you i'm reflecting your own shitty attitude and trying to explain why you continuously struggle to have a conversation in this general
Not in this argument but anyone posting sheet music in the guitar general is a big time faggot and that's not up for debate
>>129645767he’s a lost cause just ignore him. he blames his laziness and retarded on a super power called autism where he just proclaims anything he doesn’t like or understand as not valuable information. hence the retardation.
I think I might try some acoustics out at guitst center today. I feel like getting out of the house.
>>129645873you should call this gear general if you’re not interested in actually playing the instrument
>>129645904That’s what it is newfren
You guys are so lucky it's unreal, sometimes I wish I had become a professional guitarist instead of getting a msc in engineering. Good pay, job security, AI can't take your jobs, money, women, fameI'm jelly, it's completely different from what I was told as a kid
arguments about how to learn guitar and how you think about music is sure as hell more interesting than arguing about brands and features on guitars
>>129645904real guitarists play by ear. It's not 1800, we have recorded music. Tabs if you're a beginner or someone without talent
>>129645908anon studio guitarists are going to have their jobs stolen well before engineers dothey are already being stolenand studio work is the only reliable work for 99% of musicians
>>129645919Just tour, everytime I see a small band tour abroad they sell out the venue
>>129645916>real historians don’t read documentation they just time travel to experience the history as it actually happened
Music isn’t a career.
>>129645919Even before AI maybe .05 percent of guitarists made a living off of it and of those people maybe 1 percent make more money than a mailman. Do it for the love of the game, playing on the sidewalk in New Orleans for Natural Ice money isn't a great life
>>129645919he’s malding about how he’s allegedly an engineer as if that somehow means he’s smart because he’s gotten his ass btfo twice now about reading music. i guess they’ve really lowered the barrier to entry for paperwork jobs like being an engineer; you need practical knowledge and skills to be a builder/technician
>>129645945treating your hobby like an escape plan from your shitty life is a trap a lot of people fall into. i was grinding game dev until i realized it was a second job and i picked up music again because it's a healthy hobby to do on the side and doesn't need to be treated like a jobeveryone i play with has some kind of day job
>>129645949Sorry anon you're confusing me with someone else>>129645945If that was the case all these jap qts wouldn't be living lavish lifestyles on X. Pic rel
>>129645949well don't you look dumb because I'm the person you're talking about not himif i'm the one that got btfo why are you tripping over yourself to let everyone know you won
I can't believe it's been a year since I bought my little squier Stratocaster.Time to change the strings. Any tips? Haven't done it since I last changed my bass strings, some 20 years ago, kek
>someone goes completely ignored because they’re both retarded this doesn’t bother me in the slightest
Practice all you want, buy all the pedals and pickups, if you are below average looking you will never make money in the music business. Even Yngwie looked good when he was young. There's a million schlubs and uggos, one working at every guitar center in this country that can play circles around someone like Tom Delonge but guess who the kids wanna be like
>>129645978this is true. making money in the music industry is a vector of celebrity and image, not a vector of musicality. success is inherently a compromise. real musicians are nobodies
>>129645978I’ve noticed that being a racist also helps your music career
>>129645967just b urself
If GC gives me 100 for the micro synth ill probably get one of the 200 acoustics.
>>129645995Kek, fuck off
did anyone ask?
>>129645978Eddie Van Halen?
I'd trade my masters degree in telecoms for being mediocre at guitar
Yes nigga he just told me about acoustics. Why wouldn't in tell anon everything I'm doing?
>>129645856I have a wonderful attitude and my autismo superpower is never letting bad opinions slide. One of those opinions you had was erroneously saying that one’s brain can’t automatically see a passage of notes and struggles with 3rd grader music (“Hot Cross Buns”). >this is wrong and you must accept your failureThis sounds harsh, but jeez just read the basics over and over again. Seriously, when I learned to sightreading in bass, I took old trombone and Simandl books. Start at page 1 and if I fuck up (or felt like I “got away with it”), I start over.>start over and it will make senseThat’s my words of wisdom.Because you know what sucks? Playing one wrote note will fuck up a performance - and god help you if you’re not playing for a 40-piece orchestra that’s waiting for your cue.In NY, we have something called NYSSMA, which standardizes which level a particular individual should be musicianship wise to advance. ABRSM and RCM have similar evaluation standards, which are almost homogenous. Why is this?>see pic rel for ABRSM piano, but you get the idea
>my autismo superpower
>>129646062what grade would gg be since they can’t play in time to a metronome
>>129646062the problem isn't that you're being harsh i literally don't give a fuck. the problem is your point is lost. i can't tell what you're trying to say because you are having this mean-spirited dialog with yourself as your write these posts and I can't follow. get to the point and drop the noise
>>129646092just ignore them
>>129646147I can’t I am literally vibrating with rage I’m so tired of my autism preventing me from doing things. why the fuck can’t people just not reply to my posts it wasn’t for them anyway
>>129646092Gimme some advice on string changing
>>129646162cut the strings while they’re under tension, tie a knot on the end after you stick them through the tuner. make sure to stretch the string with your hand by pulling up on it in the middle, and as always change them all at once on a tremolo bridge
>>129646147i did when i thought it was AI but AI outputs stuff way more comprehensible than thiswhat i see is a drug addict who cares about music but is too emotionally immature to have a conversation with someonegg is the wrong place for this i see him get more and more defensive and antagonistic each thread
The universe does not want me to get this acoustic.
>>129646179Did somebody slash your tires?What a fucking asshole
>>129646179looks like someone slashed it, collect that hate crime money
>>129646092the point:>practice or be nothing“But what about…”>I see words on the screen but I don’t hear practicing>>129646084see pic rel>2019 ABRSM syllabusOh yeah, and if anyone wants FREE SIGHTREADING EXAMPLES (nearly infinite supply), check out imslp.org for graded pieces by instrument (search by instrument, sort by level). Or you can find stuff in Annas-archive Or, just ask ChatGPT to give you a random bar based in ABRSM grades and set a macro to generate a new one every two minutes.>the slime doesn’t hate you but only detests mediocrity
>>129646184>>129646182Nah it's my back and I was on the road when it happened. My dad thinks I hit something sharp. I also thought it was a slash but I was told I wouldnt have made it out my apartment if that's the case
>>129646179I hioe whoever did it to your car gets bitten by a rabid squirrel in the nuts.Get a bus to the shop, everything is secondary to your passion my dudah
>>129646188if your point was to practice, i do that. end of conversation. glad we got that out of the way, next topic
>>129646188so they wouldn’t even make grade 1 is that what you’re telling me
>detects mediocrity >but posts all those horrible beginner tier fucking recordings
>Musicians can't make mo-But you can>But AI-Just filling a small, let's say 10 or 20k people isn't hard>But theNo butsThere are musicians right now with less than 50k followers playing to a paying crowd of 20k. It's free money compared to everything else
>>129646194have you ever curbed that tire be honest
>>129646194that doesn't look like you hit something on the road, the tear is perpendicular to the rotation of the tire. if it wasn't slashed i'd bet it was overinflated and burst
>>129646194I have a hard time believing something could puncture a tire like that and not be immediately obvious when it happened and what did itRegardless that donks bro
>>129646223>>129646233he could have bought the tires used which would be criminally insane but happens. very common for tires that are mishandled in shipping or pulled from a wrecked car to have micro tears in the rubber. constant overheating from driving them while under inflated can accelerate the failure. I only buy new tires made in the USA
>>129645695>neck only no tone controlI'm gonna need way more
>>129646258you get different tones and volume depending on where and how you pick. the latter concept is called dynamics. hope this helps.
three pickups? i use one pickup and move it around the guitar to achieve different tones. i wrapped a string around it and tug it with my fretting hand when i want more mids
>>129646277...and you get different dynamics from the neck with the bridge or both on, as they capture different vibrations, not to mention pickup output and height. I might even need more than this.
>>129646205Ni/gg/a I workshop stuff here and enjoy collaborating with the talented (or just taking the piss). This is what musicians do.>>129646208I know several musicians that crack over $75,000 - $100,000 annually, but it’s a grind. Most of them handle a myriad of jobs, and even the ones that went on tour still had to do press, load-in/load-out, etc. One of my buddies does clubs with a funk band, plays weddings, and works as a middle school band director. He cracks the $100k mark with teacher hours (he also likes Jacob Collier, so there’s that too). Another one is a highly specialized multi-instrumentalist and he moves people’s gear and does accompaniment for college classes. Others do teaching gigs in ritzy liberal towns in Western Massachusetts. Another writes music that’s distributed in schools, but I’m not sure how much he makes in royalties. The rest that do original music end up burning out, but the outlet of music among likeminded souls seems to reward them enough to fuel their day gigs.I also keep in touch with other friends of friends, and I see them doing gigs like the UN, cultural centers, and embassies. It seems lucrative, but most of these are trustfunders that make non-offensive music you’d find at these places.There’s also diehards like FRANK HURRICANE and the dude from OLD TIME RELIJUN who’ve been playing the indie circuits for decades. This route is a serious grind, and Frank has certainly been putting on the pounds (but he’s HOLY)As a world touring busker, I found that that was the most lucrative path. You literally follow the cruise ship routes and winter snowbird retreats. The most money I ever made was $195/hours in Santa Fe, and I’m sure Gene Hackman asian wife dropped a few bucks (he was laying low because he punched a homeless guy around that time).
^^^a likely story^^^
>>129646322>I love the neck pickup in stairway to heaven>I love the way he picked with a slight angle on tornado of soulsno one has ever said this. people only care about the music
You don’t need more than zero pickups and 12 frets. All the greatest music was written on an acoustic.

>>129646161Jeez smoke a joint or something. I have a true reeeeeee in my extended family and the gutteral acreams that came out him are miles away from whatwver brand of autism most peoole claim.The secret to learning is to approach the same thing from different sources. I was just listening to The Cure “Just Like Heaven” at Walmart and i was like, thats how you integrate diatonic scales into your playing. It should be like that. You should be constantly looking for ways to prove a concept or discard it. If you didnt get it, stop the rage and start thinking, “hmmm, maybe theres something Im missing that would connect my previous knowledge.”Music ahould be fun, thats lesson 1. If you are getting bent out if shapr, then maybe you shouod stop altogether amd play Factorio or something. I played a gig once in Santa Monica where we “opened up” for this dude with a t-shirt that said “I dont suffer from autism; I enjoy every minute if it.” He didnt look like he was enjoying it, but his dad was smile-crying. Ask yourself:>are you enjoying guitar?It seems like you have some unreal expectations of yourself.I also suck at programming, but I realize its a process. I enjoy it when even the most simplest macros (coordinates + mouse commands) saves me minutes of my day. I dint go screaming on StackOverflow if my little scripts fail; instead I laugh and treasure every little improvement.>act accordingly

Does anyone else think it's exciting when you get butterflies while playing a hard song or play while sight reading, and your hands start to sweat and the thought of messing up but you nail it anyway? It's so satisfying. It's even better when you really like the song, too.
is the CAGED system real or is it a psyop?
>>129648063yeah
finally recorded two dumb bass based songs i've wrote :)
>>129645910it is truly not, it gives me a migraine seeing retards argue over the most inane and superfluous shit. it's like arguing about which pencil hardness is best for sketching vs which pencil brand is better, with the latter there's something to shitpost about

how do you set your pickup height i see differences everywhere i look
>>1296485411/8” on bass 1/16” on treble is default
>>129648541easy on a strat.1. sink the pickups down a bit2. raise the treble side of neck pickup until it makes your 12th fret G string wobble around, then drop it until it doesn't3. raise the bass side of your neck pickup until the volume of low strings is equal to high strings4. raise the bridge pickup til it is equal or slightly louder than neck pickup5. leave middle pickup sunk because it's useless garbage and gets int the way of picking
>>129648545on every pickup?>>129648554what do you mean wobble what am i looking for
>>129648554sorry you're wrong
>>129648587when the pickup is too close it causes the pitch to warble on high fretted notes. mostly on G string. it's called stratitis. so get it there, then back it off. will give you best signal to noise ratio and phattest tone.
https://voca.ro/18CaTUhSyQ4y
>>129648541Here is an interesting technique:>How to determine optimum pickup height>Each pickup and each guitar is unique and I do not feel there is a one-size-fits-all for determining pickup height. The best method I have found is to get yourself a small cheap amp that overdrives easy—the Smokey Amps are best.>Lay your guitar down on a flat surface, Plug in your guitar, select a single pickup, and fret your low E at the 12th fret and play the note. Just like with an out of tune string, you will hear an oscillation/wave rather than a clear solid note. Now adjust the Low E side of the pickup up or down until that oscillation stops. At that point adjust the high E side of the pickup to match.>This will give you a clearer note without the oscillation so your notes and especially chords will ring clear.
>>129648587yeah it sounds fine and balanced on 99% of pickups
>>129648610this is just hte wrong version of my technique. do it with the G string. the bass side will always be lower than the treble side, and the thick wound strings are much less likely to warble.
Do this if you want to sound like shit.
>>129648612if you want the 2 and 4 position on a strat to sound a little more distinct you can lower the middle pickup a couple of turns

>>129648541https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/42584764005019-How-do-I-set-up-my-Stratocaster-guitar-properlyRight here buddy. I got some gauges and followed this guide my strat plays and sounds perfect
https://voca.ro/1n3pbM9umNMX
>>129648595i raise the pickup as high as it goes and i don't know if i could hear it, if i could it was really subtle. just took it as far up as it goes and back off a bit, then took the bass side down a little more, then adjusted the bridge to taste. think it sounds more balanced now
>>129648661>humbuckers twice as close to the string as single coilswow lol.

>>129648674Texas specials are high output regular single coils are almost the same as humbuckers
>>129648651gretsch anniversary gang
>fiddling with guitar>stumble upon a phrase I like>space out and grind it for a few minutes, I’m sure this is gold>put the guitar down and do something else>pick it up later and stumble upon another cool phrase>remember I had one earlier, can’t remember exactly how it went>try to figure it out again but it’s never quite right>in my attempt to remember the first phrase I’ve now also forgotten the second oneWhen the fuck will I learn to just record everything?
>>129648691i have my rig running through an op-1 before it hits my studio monitors so i can hit record whenever i want
https://voca.ro/1bjnmFi0HG0x
>>129648661im gonna get some gauges might as well do this properly. sounds good for now
>>129648688if you want less headroom you can just adjust any pickup closer to the strings; that’s not a hard rule they’re just trying to accentuate the high output of the pickup which I don’t really agree with. I prefer to have balanced volume and bass across each string. fwiw I have dan erlewines book and he autistically recorded every professional guitarists setup that he ever did and they’re all between 6-8/64” bass and 4-6/64” treble.
>>129648688Nevermind that’s not why it’s because single coils have more magnetic pull because the magnet poles are directly underneath the strings whereas humbuckers have a more diffuse magnetic field. The regular single coils are about on par with humbuckers in terms of pull but the Texas specials have stronger magnets
>>129648688I have Texas Specials in my tele (used to have Hot Alnico 3's the hottest single coil fender makes) and they are still quieter than my 'medium output' humbucker guitars (dimarzio paf and whatever Yamaha Revstar has)
hot single coils in your area
>>129648714>Texas specials have stronger magnetsCan confirm. I think the bad rep Texas Specials have is partly because of poor setup.
>>129648726Yes I was wrong it’s not because of the output it’s the pull of the magnets
>>129648714maybe. I have no way to measure that but I know ceramic magnets are the strongest that are commonly found in pickups and seem to always be in active pickups so you set those lower than most
its crazy how people go nuts over different boosts and eq's when just changing your pickup height completely transforms how you sound
I have Lace Sensors in one strat and you can put them right up to the string because the magnets in them are like refrigerator magnets
>>129648735I thought pickups were bullshit but then I heard someone play them direct into a flat amp sim and I could dramatically tell a difference. however people are choosing to record them on YouTube is not a very good demonstration.
I have an Epiphone Sheraton with the old 90's Epiphone humbuckers that suck really bad. But it's really hard to change pickups in semihollows because you have to remove all the electronics through the spider hole to do anything.
>>129648760Yeah
>>129648689prove it.
>>129648760just pay someone to do it
>>129648739Apparently that’s not true because while the ceramic magnet is stronger the ‘pole pieces’ in ceramics are actually not the source of the magnetic field, as opposed to alnico where the poles themselves are magnets.https://guitarnuts2.proboards.com/thread/7726/differences-alnico-ceramic-steel-pickups

>>129651301Actually the single coil strat is rosewood, but whatever. It's a nice dark rosewood.
Just played some acoustics at guitar center. I like the sound, not a fan of the huge body

>>129651275get better at playing. owning a bunch of guitars is a symptom of just playing cover songs so is chasing tone. eventually you’ll find what your sound is and what you need to actually play to express yourself and you’ll find that certain guitars have limitations and you’ll get rid of them naturally.
>>129651357That's an interesting point. Never thought about the cover song angle. Probably why I don't care about modeling amps either.

How does switching to a mode change the chord structure.If I go from C major to C lydian would the F in a chord go to F#?
>>129651750if you go from C major to C lydian you are in a new key and need to play the chords of that key
>>129651749>ruining the score
>>129651748then it's too late for youyou've trained yourself wrong
>>129650997>you have to ask nicelyBass chords sound wonderful, I just think most people lack imagination. If you played E B E G#, you’d be surprised how nice it sounds. Crank up some distortion to drain out the bottom end Also, harmonics technically are intervals. 1/2 the string length is an octave, and the rest follow the harmonic series (1 5 1 3 5 bb7 etc.). >how else would you know the harmonic if it wasn’t compared to the original pitch of the string?Next time be nice and you can learn to play the B minor scale in harmonics. But not now, you made slime daddy upset

12 string or standard 6 string for my first acoustic???I like the way 12 strings sound but they aren't very versatile, basically just for strumming.
>>129651823you're 70?
>>129651750This anon is mostly right >>129651763, but there’s a concept called “modal interchange”, where you can use all the chords that borrow from other keys that have the note C in them. For the C Lydian sound, you’d be borrowing from G major scale (Ionion mode).Often, when you hear a beginner stumble upon a cool chord progression, they’re typically using this concept unwittingly.

>>129651835jangle pop took off thanks to that rickenbacker with that 12 string. buy a 6, then if you're man enough a 12
>>129651852to answer the guys question if you’re trying to use notes somewhat outside of the key (modes) I think it sounds best to not play the 3rd or 5th of the chord and instead use your mode intervals as Adds
>>129651873it's fine to leave out the fifth but the third is an integral part of any chord it's literally the most important interval from the root
>>129651856Yes it literally makes you retarded to serve or want to serve
>>129651889if your mode doesn’t share the same third that the band is playing personally I wouldn’t play it as a chord in the same register. you can I just think it sounds bad. if you’re playing by yourself who cares about anything just my 2 cents
the intervals between this guy hitting up the meth pipe are getting shorter, sweet release soon?
>>129651873>>129651852Is this how like a sus4 chord would work?For example:>Key: C>Dm-Chord>Raise F a half step to F#But F# isn't in they key of C so wouldn't it be interchange?
>>129651914if your mode doesn't share the same third that the band is playing don't switch to that modeyou can't leave the key you're playing in when you have harmony going on in the backgroundwhen you are comping with a partner you modulate together. if only one of you modulates it sounds like shit and you have to do mental gymnastics and the result of that is you're not actually modulating you're just changing position within the same key and avoiding any notes that changed due to the modulation
>>129651955melody is no rules imo because you can just change your own tonal center. but yeah if you’re playing chords obviously don’t do this

There are many more notes in the upper register, and you can get it into a 2-octave B Aeolian scale, especially with distortion, but accuracy is rough by the 2nd and 1st frets.This also means you can hit a nice D major scale, but the pattern is easier to see this way.

>>129652069it’s satire
>>129651938>>129651938Sus4 chords are just suspended chords, meaning they have an interval they resolve to. Sus4 typically resolves down to the 3rd.If I understand your question, you mean if you play a D minor chord (D F A) and raise the 3rd to F# (D F# A), Would that be sus4?>no, that’s not a sus4.Don’t worry about the F being the 4 in the key of C - once you’re doing modal interchange, most of the harmony becomes more ambiguous (which is the point).A sus4 chord would just be a root, a fourth, and fifth. You can technically play a sus4 chord wherever you damn please (see “Pinball Wizard” by The Who), but forget trying to remember which interval belongs to which key. That’ll confuse you and frankly it’s not that useful if you don’t understand harmony quite yet.Btw, you’re in the precipice of learning some REALLY cool harmony tricks once you get this down. It’s the reason why you can play Abmajor to Bb major to C major and it still sounds like Cmajor

>>129652388nothing but the best most quality slops for me.
>>129652408>F# to EF# to G I mean.I didn't get much sleep if you couldn't tell
>>129652408would E be a sus2 in a D chord? E is the second interval to D
Why do people hang guitars on walls? Those handles don't seem stable is guaranteed to break
>>129652408idk I don’t get bogged down in the semantics of music theory. typically in C major the ii chord would be a Dmin. while Dsus2 is a variance, the G is still in the key of C major. playing a Dmaj by using the tritone of the C is probably closer to a modal interchange

>>129652408>>129652408>get some sleepModal interchange isn’t too complicated, the basic idea is that you use chords from outside the key you’re currently playing. These chords typically have some relation to the root NOTE of what key you’re in. The following keys have C in them, so you can choose any chord from these keys/scales:>G major >C major>F major>Bb major>Eb major>Ab major>Db majorThat’s also not to mention the harmonic and melodic minor, which is a bit more advanced and confusing. Add in slash chords and inversions, and you’ll start to see the possible combinations exponentiate.>neo soul uses modal interchange for that “smooth” soundThe takeaway is that you should experiment with it, get a grasp of all the fundamentals, and then forget most of it. It’s a useful tool for generating chord progressions or doing reharmonizations (even on the fly), but just remember the sound of each.
how about you modal interchange your diapers, stinky
