Music theory and staff paper

Staff paper sheets?

Microsoft Paint! :Smug:

Seriously, that and my Rapidesign Rapid-Composer R-1200 music stencil.

Print up a couple of sheets and take 'em to work.

You don't have 5 minutes? I think you could do it if you take some time away from UM. Hell, you could do it while you're on UM! :Spin:

For those cheap and/or lazy bastards on UM, here's a site where you can create your own tab without having to download any program:

I is teh n00b epics when it comes to theory.

I'm surprised I passed this up. I liked the charts you posted Ozz. I need to start practicing this shit. I need to stop just playing guitar to learn songs, practice techniques, & improvise; i need to start appying more theoretical shit to guitar. I do know a bit of theory, but I literally do not know how to apply it to the instrument.

Well, if it's in the key of G, the G major, D mixolydian, A dorian and C lydian scale would all sound good over a chord progression such as that.

Research 'modes of the major scale'

Don't those modes contain the same exact notes of the G Major scale?? That what it sounds like you were hinting at. I just can never remember the order of the modes of the major scale.

 

[The Ozzman]

Don't those modes contain the same exact notes of the G Major scale??

That's the point of the modes. You can play any of them and they will be in key (relative to what key the song is in, of course)

G major: G A B C D E F# G
A dorian: A B C D E F# G A
B phrygian: B C D E F# G A B

etc

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

So if a song is in the key of A you can play B Dorian right because it contains the same notes as the A Magor scale?? What would make it a B Dorian instead of an A Magor scale?? It doesn't have anything to do with the note you start on, does it??

 

[The Ozzman]

B dorian is the second mode of the major scale. It's all the notes on the A major scale starting on B (the second degree (note) of the major scale)

B Dorian = A major scale with a different start note basically

 

[Cythraul]

It often helps to play over certain chord progressions and not others in order to get the unique sound of a given mode. So instead of running through the E phrygian mode over a standard progression in A minor, e.g. Amin, Dmin, E (or Emin), Amin, it would be better to play over a chord progression such as E, F, G, F, E.

 

[The Ozzman]

Wouldn't E Phrygian be out of key in the second progression?

 

[Cythraul]

Wouldn't E Phrygian be out of key in the second progression?

Uhh, sort of. I should've said E phrygian dominant, which would be: E, F, G#, A, B, C, D

E phrygian would be the same as above except with a G natural not a G#, so that wouldn't quite match up with an E major chord.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Isn't Phrygian Dominant a mode of the Harmonic Minor scale?

 

[Cythraul]

Yeah.

Here's a very helpful site, especially is you use weird tunings, or just down-tune to different tunings -

It allows you to type in the tuning, scales, etc, then you can print out a diagram of the guitar or bass neck and see all the notes displayed.

It's a pretty informative website in general.

I would bookmark this if I had a working laptop at home.
