    help with transposing from major to minor

    They would indeed! I brought up modulation jic that was part of the question because as you astutely mentioned, it’s not common to take a chord progression in major and make it minor when you are transposing something.

    help with transposing from major to minor

    Hey Ezequiel, So from my understanding, there are two concepts to “how” you are asking the question.

    Do you guys actually like using the caged system?

    I agree w Ids, you learn it to forget it. I use CAGED all the time but I’m not thinking about it. This is why community is so important. A second or even a 100th opinion might provide a better path for you. There are a lot of people that don’t like the CAGED system. I personally love it and I...

    The Power of Kick Snare

    I do a little of both. I have an extended Roland electronic kit that’s fun to play on through Superior Drummer. If the groove is too complex, I write in the midi. For all of the Etudes, I did a combo of playing and writing midi. Sorry, they are not acoustic drums lol. Also, sorry, it’s not...

    A returning amatuer…its been a while.

    Yo Isaiah. Great work brother I think that you’re well on your way. Maybe Jak can weigh in on this- I think you should check out some YouTube vids of us playing Unholy live. There are a few things you missed like the harmonies in the verses. The pinched harmonic in the pre chorus is on on the D...

    Whats the weirdest advice you got that worked?

    Love this question! And yes, that is an unusual but highly effective technique. I’ll have to think a bit more on this to get a little weirder but one of the coolest pieces of advice ever given to me was from Papa Gates and it was to watch tv and play what you hear. It started off being...
