Not yet but the option is there.

[QUOTE=The Transporter;18247647]i somehow doubt you actually utilize that for much of anything[/QUOTE]

id call you dumb for not utilizing it, bottom four are for bass notes (or rhythms if its for teh metuhl) and the top four are for all your upper stuff on your chords


unless your some powerchord kid, then i could see why you dont really want the extra range

Power chords have their place but the stuff I want to do with the 8 string will more than likely not involve a lot of power chords.

exactly my point, im calling tranny a powerchord kid

Oh I know just thinking out loud (does it count as out loud on the internet?).

Also lol @ tranny.

it just seems like many of the people who have 7 strings and say hey i have the low parts for rhythm and the high notes for leads, can neither play leads or even use the higher strings.

fair point josh, but those people are fucking fags

[QUOTE=EmbraceRandom;18247637]Cheers for the help mate. A few things though:
- Classes? What kind of classes?
- By friend do you mean someone else on guitar or on another instrument?
- What do you mean by 'real' book?[/QUOTE]

- composition classes! get private lessons with a qualified and experienced teacher. Could be a professional guitarist who regularly plays their own material, or could be an actual professional teacher. If you do some research and invest some money it will pay dividends.
- they could be on guitar, flute, bass, whatever. they could just be someone with a couple of brushes and a snare drum. I was thinking another guitarist when I said it though, because that way you can help eachother out.
- [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Book[/URL]. Just a collection of jazz charts.

So I got the Games Workshop trainee manager job.

Within 12 months I shoudl have my own hobby store somewhere in the country, lols. So awesome, so happy.

fingers:

- I have no idea where I'd find composition classes, I had a quick search on the net, the nearest guy to me is in Blackburn:
[url]http://music-teachers.firsttutors.co.uk/tutor/phil.piano.organ.music-theory.composition[/url]
Any idea of a good place to look for composition tuition? I'm at Lancaster University but I'm not sure any of the music lecturers offer private/one-to-one composition tuition.

- Ok cool, I've got a mate who's in a similar position to me but with bass guitar, so I'll ask him.

- Regarding real books, does it matter what tuning I go for, seeing as I'm playing guitar?

EDIT: fuck me there's a lot of 'real' books. Are there any in particular that you'd recommend? I read some reviews on the Hal Leonard real books but apparently they're lacking in certain areas. Someone mentioned the Chuck Sher real books but there's so many :s

got a car last night :D

2010 civic lx, got a sweet deal on it. pix soon, as it is currently night time

I have an Eb real book for sax, if anyone wants it >_>

Research in cognitive neuroscience, hopefully something with neuroplasticity or neurogenesis and different models of cognitive processes.

Real book question:

As a guitarist, I assume I'd get the Eb version and tune my guitar to Eb?
I don't like making assumptions, hence why I'm asking what is potentially a stupid question.

Not completely necessary. If you can play the chords in different positions for a key of Eb, you may not have to tune your guitar to Eb. If it would make it easier to play the piece, tune to Eb.

That sounds great, hope it works out for you, I wanted to keep on studying and get a masters degree but apparently I won't have the time for that until I can leave my current job and rely solely on my 2 businesses so I have the time for that. Good luck man.

jus back from a nite out













fckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Happy Samhain you sluts.

I don't think that's quite it.

It means that a C will sound an Eb because it's for sax, yes?

I forget if you read higher or lower for sax, but you'd have to transpose up a minor 6th. (read a C in that book as an Eb on your guitar)

You're way better off with the regular one, practically.


btw post

had me first brew in over a year today. was quite nice.

A note to any wannabe Scots, do not go to a party where you know no one and start being arrogant with the girls - you will get beat to a pulp.

My 'friend' did this and totally fucked up my Halloween. Tosser.

Eb version means for instruments transposing from C to Eb.

Which means if it says a C, you play an Eb, and every other note expresses a transposition by a minor third. It's the same with chords.

Just get a standard one and save yourself a headache.

So this then?

well this is tricky because the sher real books are generally more informative and easy to interpret, with rhythm slashes and the odd bassline, but they're less commonly used and quite often have different changes from the hal leonard ones, which makes them a bit of a risk if you take them to a jazz session.

the hal leonard ones are greatly simplified but a bit of an industry standard.

I think I'd go with the Sher one as they contain invaluable information about form and texture that you don't get in the hal leonard ones, and if you turn up to a gig where they're playing from the hal leonard ones you can just peer over shoulders.

Usually the changes are just substituted between the two books rather than entirely different functionally.

Ok thanks a lot for the help/patience mate.
One last thing though, there's so many different Sher real books, I guess I'm best getting the one I linked you to? I.e. the first volume.
