Board Purpose
« on: September 03, 2010, 12:07:40 PM »

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.

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)

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

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.

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!
