Ki swordsman

i think i might build it myself if i can find a colour i like...

wow she's hotter than i thought!...

i found a few threads on jemsite about him afterwards.. how would one setup a guitar to hep with playing like that?

anyone know some good online sources? i havn't decided what colour tint yet either and i'd like to take a look at what's available..

whoa......that's insanity!!! but thats not how you play guitar... there's only 1 way to play a guitar and that's with all upstrokes

anyone heard about this new true bypass wah? i've heard nothing but praise so far but they are fairly new... so anyone had a chance to take a test drive?

litch and dereks

and doing deer

i don't know of any scale that's not movable

it would be the dorian mode if you started anywhere(until you took out 2 tones) (inresponse to curtis' post above)

no, i think you'd be playing the dorian mode the pentatonic scale only has 5 notes remember

sorry i havn't been around for a bit, anyway here's an answer of sorts.. BTW i noticed you calling me Chi, finally someone who knows what i mean by ki! yeah, you're right about the scale shapes being shifted, it's just a big fretboard size template which contains all modes linked up, which you can shift around, and there's other templates you can use instead, like the one which contains harmonic minor, or the pentatonic one(the pentatonic template has 5 modes of it's own because any (pure)pentatonic scale only has 5 notes) (i referred to those as 'families in the tut) the chords underneath basically want to be made out of the same notes you are using to solo with if i was playing chords in B minor(relative lydian is G) that revolve around the B and i played a solo in G lydian, i'd sound like i was playing in B minor, but i'd just be using shapes that i know through G lydian(this can open up your playing too by forcing yourself to use different shape ideas for the same scale) however if my chords changed and revolved around the G(still only making chords from the notes in Bminor or G lydian) the solo wouldn't sound minor anymore but lydian the chords will sound more G lydian if the 'lydian' notes are accentuated ie. the root because it's our link to G, and the Augmented 4th because it's the note that makes it different from another commonly known scale(in this case G major) chords accentuating these will sound very lydian so playing G lydian or Bminor over a B simply sounds like Bminor but playing G lydian or Bminor over a G will sound lydian if i played B lydian over a B it would sound lydian too if you make a backing track that only uses B you could play in Bmajor, switch to Blydian to start giving a modal flavour, switch to B harmonic minor for a buildup then into B mixolydian for some jazz etc... it can all sound good and like the modes they are because it's always a B scale over a B if i played in B minor and then switched to a RELATIVE mode like Glydian i'd still be playing in Bminor if my backing track incorporated a B(root) and a maj2 (C#) and even a Min3 (D) to solo i could play modes which contain a maj2 and min3 (aeolian,Dorian,harmonic minor...etc) so the solo could switch at anytime between Bminor, B harmonic minor or Bdorian and sound good(and the modes would sound like the modes they are) does that make sense?

not quite, i'm italian in Australia it's ki as in the japanese word for chi or psi

presumed female?! what was it bananas are always used to signify in sex ed classes again?...

I..i..i BA..ba..ba NEZ..nez..nez

not sure what you mean... a note on it's own isn't minor or major example: open E is simply E, 1st fret F, 2nd F#,3rd G...etc were you thinking of sharps and flats? like F#(sharp) Gb(flat)? something is only major or minor once you add other notes to create a scale or a chord(if the notes in the chord are taken from a minor scale the chord is minor) and minor or major can also refer to intervals(what i talked about in that first post) in which case we are not dealing with notes but distances (like once you find your root, how many frets to go to get to the minor7th or major3rd...etc) if you're up for it have a go at going through the tutorial at the start paragraph by paragraph, there isn't any need for other theory...as long as you have a very basic musical knowledge, as soon as you get stuck just let me know and i'll help you out

curtis, are you saying you don't know how to find notes like A..etc?

slow down, where exactly are you stuck? tell me what paragraph you don't understand or what topic exactly? and how far through are you? do you understand how to find each interval from the root?

the vbl and bmc kill

work? hehe it's night here

i assume your name is pronounced kai? the ki in my username is like kee

oh well, kaj is pretty cool too

i don't understand why people give their kids dead average names...
