    Help me (modes major)

    I'll see if I can use google translate to help. The major modes are ionian, mixolydian, and lydian. Modus mayor adalah ionian, mixolydian, dan lydian. Ionian is when the music sounds like it resolves on the first note of the major scale. Ionian adalah saat musik terdengar seperti itu...

    Fingerpicking/non-strumming songs

    The only fingerpicky thing I've taken the effort to learn is the part from One Last Breath, by Creed.

    Ear training question

    I've said it a couple times before and I'm sure I'll keep saying it in the future- one of the smartest things I ever did was make a list of the melodies that I like the most and are most strongly burned into my head and then spent some time figuring them out. For me it was something that got...

    “Uncomfortable” guitar to play.

    I never got along with the ergonomics of LP guitars or their many clones. As for tone, to my ears any guitars with basically similar pickups sound the same and all other details aren't worth mentioning. I do have a bit of hearing damage so feel free to disagree, but either way imo it's hard to...

    When do you consider an etude complete?

    Imo the right time is either when you know it by memory or when you have decided to not invest any more time in it. I would consider it perfectly legitimate to listen to an etude once, decide you don't like how it sounds, then mark it complete and never come back to it. Quick edit- as a side...

    What are you currently listening to?

    This song came to mind because it was a frequent spin for me back in the days when I was first getting into EVH. One thing this band did really well was having good-sounding sounds in their song. Sounds simple, but it's not easy. Very well done.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Devin Townsend- Deadhead, live at Royal Albert Hall. The picture I use here is the cover of a DTP album, so it's strange for me to not link any songs from that album. This one seems like a happy uplifting song if you listen to it in that mood, but it comes across very differently if you're in...

    The C Major Scale – Lesson 9

    Omg little birdy is so cute!

    Songwriting

    Depends what kind of song. Almost nobody on the planet can write a radio-quality hit once a week or two, even working full time. Something like a one-minute mini song, I bet you could do it with time to spare.

    What are you currently listening to?

    One chill track, one metal track, one rap track. So Fresh, So Clean. Original by OutKast; this Jazz version from Hidden Beach Recordings. Papercut, the first song of Linkin Park's first album (Hybrid Theory). Imo their all-time best song. At the Speed of Life, the first song of Xzibit's...

    Time for more variety. I don't think I've posted any rap yet. Ice Cube also ranks very high on my list. I just noticed tonight that he has a video on youtube "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted 30th Anniversary Listening Party". I'll make time to watch it later.

    Jazz Chords

    9th chords can be adventurous, because they're five notes and you probably have 4 fingers. They're common in piano music because pianists get to cheat and use all of their fingers. I thought of something you might find interesting. First, look at this ordinary chord: 506650. It's an Amaj7. I...

    What are you currently listening to?

    I feel like I do a good job of providing variety here, but there are a few genres I haven't touched on yet. Today is classical guitar. Rémi Boucher - Russian Dance. Be prepared to be amazed. LiJie - Carlo Domeniconi - Koyunbaba Op.19

    What are you currently listening to?

    The first two songs I listened to tonight are polar opposites of each other. On the instrumental metal side we have the new Andy James, which youtube recommended for me: Which was a strange recommendation considering the song I listened to before it was Bourgeois Tagg "Waiting for the Worm to...

    Feeling chill tonight, which is unusual for me. David Bowie, Subterraneans Imogen Heap, Hide and Seek Elton John, Funeral for a friend/ Love lies Bleeding

    What are you currently listening to?

    First, a classic. I went on a bit of a Yngwie binge recently, so I might as well post some Yngwie. When I was younger I listened to Yngwie at least a couple of hours every day for at least a few years straight. I'm not going to be obnoxious and link 30 songs in one post, so here are just the...

    I thought of this today. Just as good as I remembered. Golden Earring, Twilight Zone (live acoustic) Also this. Not a song, but whatever.

    GIANT Blister on finger ! What to do ?!?

    I've never had blisters on my fingers. I don't even know how it's possible for people to get them. This sounds like a good opportunity to practice with a slide, if you have one.
