In some dialects it starts with a further 'bp' usually lowercase and one more vowel; usually another 'a' but also an 'o' in the southernmost regions.

Members 1001gear Posted June 21, 2008 Members Share Posted June 21, 2008 Abstract though it may be, this is the point. Rules and possibilities pertaining to a system of communication. Unlike psychobabble though, your modes and progressions have distinct and readily absorbed qualities. Maybe you're trying too hard to pinpoint the meaning and missing the event? There are very thorough ear training methods in use at competent schools. Ask around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kuroyume Posted June 21, 2008 Members Share Posted June 21, 2008 Back on topic, modal playing can be overwhelming. Look, I've been playing for 26 years (as a hobby not professionally) but I'm now taking lessons to learn just these things - music theory. I took a year (cut short due to moving) of classical lessons but there was almost no mention of music theory! It was more about doing the etudes and performance. Now I have a teacher who is a jazz/progressive guitarist and who knows his theory (a student of Robin Trower no less). Teaching oneself complex things is very frustrating. If you can't get help online or in books, find a teacher or someone willing to give up some of their time to educate you. It really helps having another mind with the constructs they built to learn and use complex ideas passing that information on to you. Keep going and best of luck!

Members 1001gear Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 GTFO of my thread! Take up piano. 6 months of the basics and it''ll all be laid out for you. On paper, in your fingers, in your ears, .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuroyume Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 For straight theory, piano might be excellent. But for practical *guitar* application - sucky, sucky. Guitar is far more complex and sometimes very much limited compared to a piano (piano = linear array of notes, no repeats; guitar = 2D array of notes with overlaps and a particularly exciting shift). This is why I think piano players tend to be very solid on theory whereas a vast number of guitarists are not very up on it (if at all). For instance, show a person learning piano a C major scale and that person can play that scale anywhere backwards, forwards, starting here or there - the pattern never changes. On a guitar, there are many, many ways to play a scale (down a single string, CAGED, 3NPS, 3NPS-shift, and so on). Theory is the same but application between the two are different universes (unless you are one of those really good musicians who maps theory to any instrument well - unfortunately, not all of us are or ever will be that good).

Members fiddler2068 Posted June 23, 2008 Members Share Posted June 23, 2008 hey freetime, music colleges offer a degree in music after 4 years of study. Be patient and learn. There is a lot of theory but it doesnt have to be complicated. Just a lot to learn. Start with the basics and go from there. I highly suggest you start here... http://lessons.mikedodge.com/ considering its free and its really good explanation and beats most books out there. Once you understand everything on that site then you are good to go with more advance music theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the guy jams in Dorian and cant even tell. Has nothing to do with fretboard mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
