:nana already posted that link mate *points to first post*

[aslan]

oh sorry man

didn't see it just bump it off or somthing

[aslan]

Now me and Moe where talking this over last night

this thread is dedicatied to the playng/learing to play music

simply put I'm gonna give tips/lessons on music theory

I'm not formaly trained mind you (I'm slef taught) but I do have close to 10yrs experance in Bass and gutiar, fiddled with panio and mess on the drums.
I have played rock, jazz, swing, blues, fusion jazz, and classical.

I specialize in Bass mianly but have a good knowledge of all around music theory.

I will be able to supply a geat # of cool scales/modes that could improve the free style musician out there. And if any one has a Bass qustion I will go into detail about it.

also I know that I'm not the only muscian out there so if any one wants to impart their knowlege here too go ahead. I encourage it.

oh and also we can talk theory as well (for those music nerds out there)

this is not a place to ask "how can I play this song" or "how does (such and sucn a band) play (such and such a song)" I think there is a thead that does that already.

I can give some tips for drums.....well...lots. If I'm aloud, i'll post some stuff..

[aslan]

this is great a drumer.

now I can have a talk about the bassist/drumer relationship in a band and why it is so important that both knows what the others doing (this is so over looked in 4 peice bands that are starting out)

[moe]

Malice, you are more than welcome to add yuor knowlegde to this mate, Id appreciate it greatly .

[Malice]

Thanks Moe.

Well thing one...

As Aslan said, the relationship between the drummer and bassist is important, in my oppinion, the most important. They are the rythm section and keep everything together.

On drums...

Most important things of drumming are being relaxed, keeping a steady tempo, knowing what's going on, and having variety without straying from the original beat. When you're practicing, if your having trouble with something, slow it down and repeat 20 or 30 times. Experiment. And also very important is practicing the boring easy stuff.

[moe]

True, you need not to look further than U2 to see how important the relationship between the drumer and bassist must be.

Oh and guys as you post, do you mind if i edit your post? Im not going to delte anything or mess withit, im just gonna make it all bolted, fancy looking as stuff (yeah i know i got lots of spare time on my hands )

yes I agree
now I'm gonna add some things from a bass players point of view.

now as a bass player you are part of the main rythem section but also you are a medium between rythem and the high end or medley(sp?) section.

this is very important to remember

as a starting bass player try to keep to the root notes of the chords being played by the gutiar/panio/etc that is holding up the high end so this way you can listen harder to what the dumer is doing (what accents is he hitting what breaks/rolls is he working with) and try to match up with that. As you get better or start playing in bigger bands (like 6-12 members) you should attend seperate pratices with just the dumer so the two of you can break down what is being played by each other and look/hear the less forward things each other is doing; that way you two will be tight and be able to play off each other in a live format.

also bass players should also talk to teh gutiarist or panio player to see what excat chords they are playing and more important the over all key of the song being played (this helps alot with playing walking bass lines in that it helps make the transition smoother between chords seeing as most times you will want to hit the root of the chord when the chord change happens but still have a flow to the walk).

but above all else as a bass player MAKE SURE YOU HIT THE SAME ACCENTS/BREAKS AS THE DRUMER. (unless your doing some cool off beat interchange between the two of you than its cool)

oh and moe go ahead and fiddle with this if you like

and if any one wants me to explain deeper i will, I;m just giving the basics on how the bass and drums work together

Cool. Can you post some scales for the guitar? I know the pentatonic scale (and some others) but are there different variations to the minor pentatonic? Also, teach me as much theory as you know that'd be awesome :D For specific questions... uhm... how would you know which scale would fit with a song? What are some cool soloing or strumming techniques? Or, what are the formulas for chords and how do you get them? Like, how would I get D9 on both the E and A strings, etc? Thanks alot.

[Violence Fight]

guitar scales. You mean modes? I guess I could try to do that really quick.


First Octave |Second Octave.
e|-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-
b|-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-
g|XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-X
d|-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-
a|-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-
E|-X-XR-X-XX-X-X-XR-X-XX-X-


its hard to represent this well on here, and its easier for me to just tab it out then go find one. So I'll explain. A Major Scales formula is a Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step. whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. If we were to use C, that would give use the notes C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. The thing up top breaks this down on the fretboard of the guitar.

The R represents the Root Note of the scale. So using C again, that means it'd be C. the X's are all the other notes in the scale. the dashes are the frets you skip.

I put both octaves of the scales. Once you hit a certain point the scales repeat again, Its kind of hard to explain if you don't understand. Basically using this whatever note the Root Note is, is the scale your playing. All the modes just connect down the neck, I would've broken it down into individual scales, but this gives you a feel of how they all interconnect and repeat as you go down the neck.

Guitar Tips.

work on using your pinky(4 finger) early. Its helpful later on and it takes awhile to build up. It may seem easier to play with just 3 fingers, but its helpful in the long run.

Figure out paterns in playing. And learn theory. I thought I understood guitar at first..then I took a theory class and learned why I was playing what i was playing. Using theory you can figure things out faster.

Figure out songs by Ear. It'll definately improve your ear for tuning and playing all around. It can also add diversity to your playing and teach you new patterns and licks.

work with fingerpicking earlier. Fingerpicking is a hard thing to master, but the riffs and sounds you can create with it are amazing.

Work with different strumming rhythms and patterns. Rhythm is a key in playing well.

ok I'm gonna post some pics of scales and modes and such also I'm gonna add a fun thing called a Chord Formula Chart (this will be your best friend) and also I will explain how to read it

ok here's the Chord Chart (it's big but I suggest you right click and save as)

it works like this :

it take the most common scales or keys that are played and then gives you the notes needed to make a chord (for example in the C major section -the C major scale is layed out in the post above me- they show that the major chord for that scale is made up of the 1-3-5 notes of the scale -C-E-G- but skip ahead a bit to the DOM 7 there is a flated 7th added to the chord -B flat- so as long as you know the scale you can work from it). I hope this helps I suggect expermeting with the number of chord types you can get out of this and remeber that you don't have to stickl to just the keys on the chart try working in other keys

OK here are some scales/modes

They are all in the key of C and are from a Bass book I had so it has bass Tab and notation in bass Clef (tho the Bass tabs can be used on gutiar and Panio players can read bass clef).

also how to read them: you will see notes circled these are the root notes (in this case always C natural) so you can start from the root and work top the next octive thu site reading.

now on to the links (again large so you can read easy)

C Major and Natural Minor

Dorian and Phrygian

Lydian and Mixolydian

Locrian and Harmonic Minor

Jazz Melodic Minor and Lydian flat-seven

Whole Tone Mode and Pentatonic Major

Pentatonic Minor and Blues Scale (with major 3rd & flated 5th) I play the blues scale with out the major 3rd btw I just don't like how it fits


ok this is like 2 hrs of work to scan this in upload it and post it so I hope I get at least some rep for this
and if you got and questions just ask
