OK, but here's a challenge: What was the last rock song you listened to
where you said to yourself, "Gosh, I think he just used a little too much
music theory writing that song."

All theory will ever do for you is give you an idea for what notes will
sounds dissonant or resolved and what chords will lead to one another in
what ways. If you have a particular sound in your head, or a particular
idea for a phrasing, knowing your theory will enable you to make better
guesses about how to play the notes to get the sound you want to hear. It's
not that music theory tells you how to write music, it's that it lets you
find the music you already hear in your soul easily and naturally, instead
of trying chord after chord and note after note that aren't quite what you
want. Then, because you aren't staggering around so much trying to translate
your musical ideas into notes and arrangements, you can attempt more difficult
compositional ideas because you can work them out more efficiently without
losing your train of thought and perspective on the song, or album, or
symphony or what-have-you. Knowing theory doesn't give you any more talent
but it makes you a lot more efficient at using whatever talent you may have to
produce original music.

But it's not like there's ANY debate about which side most guitar players
err on. Go ahead, name one guy who knows too much music theory, just one.

  Well, David, the correct pronunciation would be something like this:
"AAAACK"  The easiest way to get the proper sound is to pretend you have 
a piece of popcorn stuck in your throat....  8-)
  But seriously, I would say "A Major with a C# on the bass".  I've heard
people call it an "A Major slash C#" before, but that sounds like something 
a Guns 'n' Roses fan might say. (Gee, I'm just full of humor today...)

I know this has gone around before, but I didn't pay any attention
to where to buy a quadraverb before because I didn't want one.  Now
I am seriously considering getting one over an ART processor.  If
you got a good deal on a quadraverb GT, please let me know where I
should order one from to get the best deal.  

The only reason I would choose an ART over a Quadraverb is because
the Quadraverb doesn't have pitch transposition which is one effect
I would really like to have.  If you have an opinion on this I would
like to hear that also.


Thanks.

	The action is the space between the strings and the neck. If
a neck becomes bowed, then the action becomes raised. Generally, a
high action on a guitar or bass is a bad thing, though I know that
some bassists prefer it when they slap because it gives them a better
sound.
	Any guitarists out there have another case for a high action?

	   I need some info on the following tremelo things,
   Washburn torsion bar tremelo, mosrite/mosley tremelo, and fender
   jaquar/jazzmaster tremelo.

   I need to know if they mount on top of a solid body guitar
   ( no whole necessary).  where I can get one, how good they are 
   (what they are good for), and a price estimate - if you have one
   to sell, speak up.

The Jaguar/Jazzmaster vibrato cannot mount "on top of" a solid body guitar;
a hole is necessary.  It's actually quite a large hole.  This type of
vibrato hasn't been manufactured for a long time, but I have heard a rumor
that Fender might be reissuing the Jaguar soon, so there's a chance the
vibrato might be available in the near future.

Some things to try:

1.  Electro Harmonix used to sell a box called the Microsynthesizer.  One
feature it had was bering able to generate a square wave of the same pitch as
the guitar signal.  This has a very fuzzy tone, but there is no compression or
sustain added as in an overdrive.  You can also mix in the straight signal, the
octave below and the octave *above*.  The square wave plus the octave above
gives a nice sound.  Look around used shops for one.

2.  Get a noise gate with side chaining.  This means that the gate can be 
controlled not by the main input but by an external trigger signal.  OK, run a
Y-cord from the guitar, one end into the noise gate trigger input, the other
into your distortion device.  Plug out of your distortion device into the noise
gate audio in, then out of the gate to your amp.  The straight (undistorted)
guitar envelope will control the gate this way.

3.  The Yamaha REX-50, SPX-50 and GEP-50 effects units had an ADSR algorithm. 
With this, you could program in a specific envelope. Unfortunately, it doesn't
really track the input, so you get the same envelope for every note, play too
fast and you get glitching between notes as the envelope won't close between
notes.  I don't know if the current Yamaha boxes like the FX-500 offer this
feature, or whether any other FX boxes do.

Yo !

i was sitting alone in my room the other night with my
guitar and a lot of distortion and all of a sudden this
thing comes to me (I don't know the right way to put this
kind of harmonics to tab but ya know you lightly touch the
string at the indicated fret )

    Hill Street Blues (main theme)
===================================

----------------------------------

----5-----------------------------
------4------------5----5-5----5-- 
--------3.2----------4------4-----
----------------------------------

Now I can't figure out the rest of the theme (Yes here in Sweden the program
is still running.I dunno about the states...).
The question is ... Is the rest of the (decending) part also possible to
play by using the same kind of harmonics and in that case : How??

(Maybe there are some notes missing in the tab so if anyone would be
kind enough to help me out on this one I'd be really glad)

Are there any more (simple) tunes that are possible to play in a similar 
manner ? Please post the tabs of those as well

Rock'n Roll to ya

In a previous post A/C# is called "A w/ the first inversion". Why is it the
1st inversion and say not the 3rd since C# is the 3rd degree of the tonic A?
Is it because the inversion of the tonic does not make sense, the inversion
of the minor second as well as the minor 3rd is dissonant, and the inversion
of the 2nd degree is a different chord alltogether, and therefore the C#
inversion gets to be the first?

   Howdy!  It's been a while since I posted about my IG tab, so I thought
I'd do it again...  I've done a couple new songs, too, including one of 
my favorites, "Hand Me Downs" (if _only_ they would publish the tab for
that wonderful solo!!).  So drop me a note if you want some of this...

   Again, all songs on my list have chords, and I can send you the lyrics for
ANY Indigo Girls song you want (including some songs you've probably never
heard), even if it's not on this list.
   Just send me a note telling me which music and which lyrics you want, and
if I've sent you stuff before, don't just tell me, "send me your new stuff,"
because zillions of people have written to me, and I won't know what you mean
by "new."
   NOTE: Almost all of this tab is copied straight from the songbooks, so if
you already have the books, don't bother.  If you _don't_ already have the 
books, I'd recommend them; they're lots o' fun.

   Okay, here's the current E-mailable tab/chords list:
   * Blood and Fire (no tab)
   * Closer to Fine (tab: intro)
   * Crazy Game (no tab, but I have the chords in an easier key if you request)
   * The Girl with the Weight of the World in Her Hands (tab: FULL)
   * Hammer and a Nail (tab: intro, ending)
   * Kid Fears (tab: 12 notes!!!!!)
   * Love's Recovery (no tab)
   * Secure Yourself (tab: 2 measures!!!)
   * Southland in the Springtime (tab: intro, part of verse)
   * Watershed (tab: intro, part of verse)
   * Welcome Me (tab: FULL)
   * World Falls (tab: intro/verse, sorta tab for the bridge)
   And, new since my last posting:
   * Hand Me Downs (tab: intro)
   * You and Me of the 10,000 Wars (tab: intro, part of verse)

   And a quickie: 
   "Land of Canaan" is G C G C etc., then D right before the chorus.

Keep your arm fixed. Don't move your whole arm around when you pick each note. 
Keep the motion as minimal as possible. Keep on playing. :)

in this price range i'd DEFINITELY look at the yamaha MT100..
it's got all the features and more of those up there, and
at a VERY competitive price  (mine was about $420)   it has
dbx, record on 4 channels at once, and double speed, which
are what i consider a MINIMUM when you are buying a 4track.

I'd like to sell my ADA Digitizer 4.  It was working fine,
I haven't played in 2 years.  I'm selling it because I simply
don't play guitar anymore.  
make an offer
