(Gaby) (5:21:14 PM): cuz i saw the santa hat and i thought toys

I saw BNO with Catch 22 years ago, they were pretty good but I didn't look much more into them sans a few song d/ls.

I saw Boys Night Out at the nintendo fusion tour, but i was [I]just[/I] getting into the album at the time so I didnt really know the songs very well

BNO are good. Trainwreck is a great album.

/goes back to learning pentatonics

K, I know most of the theory behind these, but how are you supposed to make them into solos or whatever..? Do you just kind of switch between modes? Or do you just play around and just make sure you stay in key? Or both?

[QUOTE=allofmeoliveme]Is AWS playing this year? I definitely missed them last year. I heard Famous Friends and I was like :eek: so I ran over there, but I missed it. :([/QUOTE]

Man I missed Thrice I watched Matchbook Romance instead and they blew.

Pentatonics are overdone. But just like any scale/mode...you play them in key usually.

Zach: MBR over Thrice? Shame on you.

Oooo I know tell me about it I should get in big trouble for that. I payed for how much MR hurt my ears. They must have been having a bad day.

Meh. I still need to learn them.

I know most blues scales already. And they aren't really that different :-\

Even on a good day they're not nearly as good as Thrice.

Brandon: If you know Blues scales you're better off with those than pents.

You think? I don't know, Pents seem a lot more commonly used.. I'm not really planning on soloing much anyways. I'd like to learn how to write decent chord progressions but at the moment none of it makes sense to me. I need to get one of those little posters with tons of chords on them or something. I only know like 3 chords :-\

Ugh. I hate not being able to get really good at something fast. I'm so used to it.

*abused

And it's because people are too lazy to figure out what other notes fit well in the key. Pents are more "versatile" because there's fewer notes.

Learn barre chords and you're set. If you can get those you can write the bass and the rest will just fall into place. Scales don't help much with the theory of actual chord progressions.

Hm. Sounds good. I wish I could print something off really huge and then stick in on my wall.. Like a homemade poster. I hate having to look at my computer constantly while trying to learn.

You can see a poster and not your comp? :-\

Well, it's easier for me to stand up and look at a big picture on the wall than to stand up and look at a tiny little picture on the computer screen. (I find it easier to play standing up)

Useful skill, I sure don't. Master playing standing up and singing at the same time and you are set.

No.

/yeah, it was mad when BNO took the stage :p

Oh, i also find it easier to play standing up, unless you wear your guitar strap as low as Tom Delonge :lol: i dont know how he can play with a guitar at his knees

Higher fret access is easier sitting.

I also play with mine low though. My right hand falls naturally onto the bridge when my arm is relaxed. Easy palm-mutes :cool:

heey everyone!:wave:

wats cooookins?


and look! its me and half of MBR! (oh yeah and ShangBang is there with me, but of course hes not good at the whole picture thing:rolleyes:)

I can stand up and sing. Now I'm lerning the actual playing part of it :p. But yeah, that is what I planned on.

Question; I'm learning the A minor and major pents. So this means that I'm playing in the key of A right? So then what if I want to play one in C or F? Would I just alter it to fit the key? If so, this is much easier than I thought..

Edit: I play with mine low, and yeah, I do find that the higher frets are a tad more difficult to reach, but nothing that really hinders my ability to play.

Red Jacket guy = LOL

Shangbang looks like he's really high or something :-\

I play with my guitar at medium length, but I love my bass when it's high up. It looks dumb, but it's so much more comfortable.

Wearing your guitar high = scene.

yeah i was also going to mention, its easier to play higher up on the neck when you're sitting, but the fartherst I usually ever go is 15 or 17.

Noice.

Yeah, transpose up 3 half steps for C, etc. Same for all scales. Guitar is easy like that.

I feel hindered going for those 3 note bends but that's about it.

Spence: My bro plays his (bass) low...it'd be awesome if he got it low like Trujillo lol.

Dave: Psh..all the cool kids hit the high F# ;)

ShangBang high? now i'm sure that'd be a sight... hes pretty slow and entertaining as it is... hes just really bad at taking pictures that are important - any other time, he comes out like perfect... you should see his year book picture this year XD

My brother and my mom are listening to Christmas music on the raido while they put up the tree. It's making me crazy.

I put up the tree over a week ago. And we have had Christmas music playing here a lot. Sometimes it's me playing it though. But, it has to be Trans-Siberia Orchestra.
