Hey

I started this board as a spot for musicians to discuss topics related to *making* music. This could also be a place to go for ppl who ask, "what mode is Jake playing in on [song]" or "what is the chord progression of [song]". What key is [song] in, etc.

This is not genre restricted, so anything goes. Just keep it on topic.



I'm planning to do some writeups on Livetronica sounds and production after NCMF.

[CarliBear]

Great idea! I'll definitely be interested to hear the input under this subject.

It's really all just your plan old major scale...

With that said, whose using some whole-half diminished scales these days?

UM songs are pretty damn difficult to figure out on guitar. This is probably because I am not very good. I can do all kinds of Phish and GD, but UM is some music I haven't been able to even touch yet.

^^ Its all in the practicing.  I've been having a really good time figuring out UM songs the past few weeks.  Conduit is my most recent achievement. (along with Wife Soup and Prowler)

I definitely don't think mixo when I think UM.

[The Lapper Redux]

I always think of whole tone scales when I think of UM

#5 uses whole tone; only example I can think of, even though I think you were joking.

That lick right before the funk section of 40's?

i know they dont entirely fit the splitting hairs definition of a 'minor' scale, i consider both of those modes to be more minor than major... especially dorian.

"super major" makes that mode sound way awesome doesnt it

[Stringz]

super duper fucking major 

[makisuperphan]

super duper fucking major 

haha yea yea i toss the mixo in when a progression or jam goes up to the 5... especially with a dominant chord.  I lay that down descending and its just got what i hear as a minor sound is all... probably because of that initial whole step... but when you toss a halfstep in there too (like youre descending chromatically at first) its a really spicy sound!
