aku dah dgr ...anyway awat tak buat habis? hehe..
sedap la bunyi gitar guna line POD tu..aku rasa nak sambar satu jugaklah..
right now kita jam dulu b4 buat betul2 later on..kita tgk sapa lagi boleh jamm...aku harap ada orang boleh add some rhythm keyboard style bunyi rock organ or just regular piano ..then somebody else boleh add guitar again...
anyway i'll be leaving for pittsburgh to visit my younger brother yg study kat carnegie melon..so aku update from there ..adioss! |
You might want to consider Behringer's V-amp Pro....rackmount...and cheaper than the POD!!! |

Mixolydian Mode
Mixolydian, just like Lydian has a sweet major sound to it . It is the fifth degree mode of the major scale, so back to our C major scale example
C D E F G A B C
If we start from G (fifth degree) instead of C we'll get the G mixolydian scale. So that would be:
G A B C D E F G
when you goreng this over C major chord it'll sound like a major scale but play it over G major chord and it'll sound different , kinda sweet but not like the major scale..
The scale properties would also be the fifth degree from the major scale's W W H W W W H structure.. this would make the mixolydian scale structure as
W W H W W H W
So let's say we want to apply this to the key of F , then F mixoLydian would be
| Code: | F G A Bb C D Eb F
W W H W W H W |
Some ppl will combine this with blues scale (basically minor pentatonic with a flatted fifth ) to get that nice sweet yet bluesy sound .. SRV is a great fan of this scale as evident in texas flood..
well that's all for ..later we'll do the sixth degree mode which is the minor mode , hopefully we'll go into some beginner stuff just to recap things like minor pentatonic , harmonic minor , melodic minor etc
adios!

Minor scale or Aeolian Mode
What's up guys...let's go into Aeolian mode. It is the sixth degree mode which has a minor (evil) sound to it . As a matter of fact Aeolian mode has the same structure as the natural minor. So it is the same thing .. Aeolian = natural minor ..so this lesson would be a good theory on minor scale or it can also serve as revision to people who already know this minor scale stuff..
so to get our minor/Aeolian mode , let's go to our C major scale example:
| Code: | C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 |
Minor/Aeolian scale is the sixth degree of the major scale , so basically take that same C major scale ( C D E F G A B C) and start it from the sixth spot up on the scale ( which is note A ) and go up one octave . So from the sixth degree of C major scale you'll get this:
A B C D E F G A
which is basically your A natural minor scale .
Let's look at the minor scale properties . First let's take our major scale progression which is :
| Code: | W W H W W W H
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
and go one octave up from the sixth degree and you will get the progression for minor/ aeolian which is:
W H W W H W W
So let say you have somebody doing a rhythm in the key of G with a minor progression . To do your minor scale solo in this case is to find out what's the minor scale for G so just apply the abovementioned minor scale structure ( W H W W H W W ) to G and this is what you will get :
| Code: | G A Bb C D Eb F G
W H W W H W W |
So that's G minor scale my friend...So for any key ..just apply the W H W W H W W structure and you'll get the minor scale or also known as Aeolian Mode ...That should complete our modes lesson ..there's one mode ( locrian , 7th degree of major scale ) but it is not used for soloing due to its tonal instability ..
maybe we'll do lesson in minor pentatonic later amacam?

hehe...we all feel the need ..for speed hiyeargh..
anyhow aku rasa b4 ajar diaorang the speed stuff like arpeggio and what not ..aku rasa kena go into abit of scale-chord relationships ..how to construct chords from the scale n stuff like that...i might go into why a chord is called sustain 2 or minor seventh and the theory behind it la..so the once they figure out about chord structure boleh la kasi sweep pickin and arpegio skit hehe..
keep on kangkanging..

Yup bro...TOO TRUE....arpeggios are basically the chord's notes played one at a time...and the theory of chord structure and inversions is the backbone of the theory behind arpeggios.
To be frank, about speed, I don't think I know anything more than what everybody else already knows...and I'm afraid the wait for my lessons is gonna end with dissappointment...where everybody will say..."err...Bode...is that it?" To be frank, there's not much else that i can say about speed really, except to just get down and practice...hopefully we can gain more from the question and answer sessions which will follow the lesson...dunno... |

hehe ... same here dude...aku pun bukannya gempak sgt main gitar..in fact i'm the laziest guitar player ever...i dont want to learn songs .. but somehow i'm facinated by music itself and devoted some time to learn the theory part of it.....but dont ask me to play any tunes except some simple chord based song (especially jiwang ones) like bryan adam or beatles hehe ... what to do ..it's all for the ladies u dig ? .. hehehe...like the mat salleh said over here , 'dude just play that bryan adam heaven song in front of a girl , it's a PANTY dropper fo suree.....' hehe..no lah actually i'm a good kid..yeah but somehow i'm lazy to learn songs .. maybe no time kot masa study ni...

Minor 1 - Minor Pentatonic Scale
what's up guys..here's some stuff on minor pentatonic..but before that make sure you guys know what is natural minor as explained in the article 'Mode 6 - Aeolian Mode/ Minor Scale ' ..
there's different kinds of minor scale , the one we're used to is the natural minor..there's also the harmonic minor and the melodic minor but we'll go into those later on lah...right now we'll stick to natural minor and it's pentatonic scale..
so quick recap , minor scale have this progression/structure ..
W H W W H W W
An excellent example of minor scale is the A minor
| Code: | A B C D E F G A
W H W W H W W |
A minor scale is easy to remember because it does not have any flats or sharps..so we'll use that for our pentatonic discussion..
so what is pentatonic eh? pentatonic basically means five tones ..penta = five, tonic = tones ..there five tones derived from the scale has inspired millions of riffs and solos for rock songs..it's one of the easiest scale to learn yet not many ppl quite understand the theory behind it..
so basically minor pentatonic scale is deriving 5 notes from the minor scale .. so let's have our A minor example with their numbering..
A B C D E F G A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
Minor pentatonic scale means that only the 1 , 3 , 4 ,5 ,7 notes of the minor scale would be used , giving us the five tones that is needed for this scale..
so from our A minor scale , the 1 3 4 5 7 notes are ( the ones in bold)
A B C D E F G A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
A minor pentatonic =
A C D E G
so there you have it minor pentatonic..so next time if you guys want to find minor pentatonic..take the key and it's natural minor scale..and find it's 1 3 4 5 7 notes...voila you got your self minor pentatonic..
So when we put these notes on the guitar fret , here's the pattern that we will get:
as you can see from the above fret you'll get this kind of box pattern which can easily be used for other keys..so let's say you want to know G minor pentatonic..all you have to do is slide up that pattern box one whole step ..... enjoy the minor pentatonic amigoss..

Omar, i think it would be easier if you rotated the picture 180 degrees...

ridzi: 180 degrees u mean just like the tabs eh? aku ada pikir nak buat camtu but aku somehow prefer tunjuk the other way around , as if somebody was showing it to me face to face in person you know...
