More broken record:
Practice, and then practice some more.
The initial learning curve for guitar is pretty steep. You have to train your monkey hands into guitar player's hands. If you don't practice, you'll never get anywhere.
So when you're done practicing, practice some more.
And then practice.
Pretty basic 12 bar blues... Add fills, turnarounds, and solos to taste.
Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.
But a minor scale has a sharpened 7th without it being in the key signature. A minor has a G# which C major doesn't have. It is the relative minor but the 7th note still needs to be a semitone below the root note. As it is in the major scale.
The natural A minor does not have any sharps or flats, as it is relative to C.
Harmonic minors (what you are referring to) modify the scale, and aren't relative to any major. The intent is to keep the major sound from the 7th to the root.

Jerome you guys have a pretty good team up your way in Washington who I exoect will make a lot of noise come tournment time.

The Husky program is usually fair to midlin. We're generally happy with a tournament invite, and if we can win a few games, then that's considered success. This year has been fun. They've lost a couple recently they could have won, but I guess that's why they play the games.
The local darlings are Gonzaga, though. Thats another school kind of Duke like in that it is a very good school with a very good program. They lack Duke's championship pedigree, but they're working on it.
Comparing Conzaga to Duke is like comparing Ickey Woods to Walter Payton..........
Well, lets see, they're both private schools with very high academic and admissions standards. They both have excellent law programs. They both graduate most of their basketball players (Duke at 92% is a national leader) Gonzaga graduates 78%.
So, just like I said. Duke-like in that it is a very good school with a very good program, but lacks Duke's championship pedigree.

I love Coach K. I love the fact that the Duke program is consistently a national contender, a great school, and graduates almost everyone. He's set the benchmark for what a "student athletic program" should look like.
A great coach even if he never won a game.

The foundation of everything are scales. If you know your scales, you will know your chords, and you will be able to knock out those turnarounds and fills easy as pie.
It's not cheating. It's knowing your way around your fret board.
Exactly. I don't like the notion that somehow you're getting away with something because you know several ways to fret a chord. It implies that there is only one "proper" voicing.
You *should* know several ways to fret a chord. That should be a goal. It's not cheating, it's how you win.
I love my bass, and my bass loves me.
You want to play bass? Learn scales.
First job I had out of the Navy was putting cell receivers up on towers in the San Diego area. I never climbed anything remotely like that, though. That's nuts!
Awesome.
I've been reading Sandy Koufax "A Lefty's Legacy" not to far into it but really good so far.

I'm a Drysdale guy myself. I like a guy that throws hard chin music.
Gotcha, sorry dumb question huh.
Nope, not at all. In fact, it's a pretty common question.
The key you are in will be 2 and 1/2 steps over whatever you would be in if you were playing it open.
If you were playing in the key of C in the open position, then the same chord shapes on the 4th fret would be in E.
The key of a song is dependent on the chords, not the guitar.

There has been a show on Sky in the UK recently that has concentrated on original acts with original music. It is called Must Be the Music and was won by a 27 year old busker from Glasgow who called herself Emma's Imagination (there are videos on Youtube and she is pretty good). Judges are Jamie Cullum, Dizzee Rascal and Charlene Spiteri and it is far removed from the X Factor. It is worth watching for me as all of the songs are original and made available on I-Tunes for download giving all of the contestants a chance to make a little bit of money from the show.
Ian
Now that would be worth watching. The odds of it making it on American markets is 0, though. If it doesn't come with a strobe light and autotune, it can't possibly be popular.
I'm in Europe next month. I'll see if I can't pick it up while I'm there.
Come visit us in the Theory section. This is pretty much all we talk about.
The C7b9 chord can be played in the first posistion since the 9th in a C scale is a D(2nd) just raise the C on the B string 1/2 fret to Db (2nd fret) the C is still in the chord on the 5th string 3rd fret x32320
And this, folks, is why theory matters.
At least you didn't blame Bush!
I thought Machinehead was a pretty good song. Don't know if it's top 100 or not, though.
Of course it's a money making con. That's what the guy does for a living.
Having said that, I don't like these shows because it is all about people singing other people's songs. I would have an interest if it was original acts doing original music. I know there are some of these shows that have dancers and stuff, but that bores me.
Play it acoustically to check for quality. You can always fix a pup that doesn't sound good, but you can't fix a guitar that doesn't sound good.
You're pretty much right on the mark, Roger, from a theory standpoint, anyway. To fret a m11 in that way doesn't make a lot of sense. That *is* Gm11, but there's a whole lot easier ways to play it. You're fretting the C on the B string, instead of just barring it all the way across the 3rd fret and hitting it on the A string. You need the C to make it an 11, and you get that either way.
If you want to be amazed, check this kid out. I've seen him live half a dozen times, and he just keeps getting better.
You'll get $92 worth of fun out of that in a matter of days.
Mandos rock. They're impossible to play, and "mandolin" is an Italian word that means "out of tune," but they are a full hoot.
Havent commented in awhile but I like this thread so: The sole reason I stuck to it was because it drove my parents crazy. Back then I listened to heavier stuff (Slayer, Primus, etc..) and they hated it. They would always tell me I wasnt any good and that the music I listened to sucked.(classic, right?) Sounds like a sob story but it did me alot of good. Made me determined to prove them wrong. Now my mom loves the way I play and my dad is even trying to learn. Its cool because we have something in common now. My musical taste has soften but I still love me some death metal. Thinking about starting a John Prine death metal cover band.(dont lynch me!) Any takers?
Sign me up for some John Prine death metal. I'd dig that.
We do a "C is for cookie" cover sometimes that is fairly hilarious. Cookie monster voice, being what it is...
Zurf,
What makes a guitar a "bluegrass" guitar? I've seen this claim severaltimes. I am not at the bluegrass playing level but I do enjoy the sound of this style of music.
David
Big bodies and generally braced for heavier strings. Bluegrass guitar players do a lot of alternating base walks, so the bottom end needs to come out.
