woo guys - i made a contrary motion bass riff with the guitar at band practice today for a song :D am i hot or what? :naughty:

no it was a root 5th and something else and a little more, and i think he played some kinda G&L, cause it had 1 mm pickup, but a fender p body...

sounds like a lakland to me

WTF is contrary motion?

[QUOTE=fatbandit]WTF is contrary motion?[/QUOTE]
its a theory term
where you form chords but like the bass moves down to a chord tone while the guitar moves up or vice a versa

hello mx!!!

exactly
used a lot in piano because it has two melodies at a time
cept i added in a couple of slides and hammers/pulls to improve it

Oh, right.

^i think me band have that in one of our songs (that we are starting on)

the intro goes, and i play a dadada each time she starts over at e for to times, and then me and the rythm guitarist goes high speed the other direction then the lead guitar :p

do you play piano?

and im surprised you knew about contrary motion, for some reason you didnt come off as someone who knew a bunch of theory

:wave:

Meh. I do that sometimes, but mostly the same note an octave below the guitar, if that counts. Meh. And there's some harmony stuff, but its not quite the same.

Has Neal stopped dancing? Will Neal start dancing after this post to prove me wrong?

well - i did two years if music theory in school lessons - and they teach everyone that (based on piano cos keyboards are cheap for everyone in a class to have) - but unfortunately, i opted out of gcse music, a decsision i now regret, so, im ok on scales, i dont understand keys properly, and musch past that im not good on, but yes contrary motion i do know

*dances*

oh and i have a rubbish old keyboard at home, so i play that a bit, it helps me understand the relation of notes better

Dammit. Neal wins again! :mad:

thats cool, i take theory but its a self guided class over here , but i took 3 years of piano like 9 years ago and i just took up lessons again last month

Neal always wins, it's an unwritten law, although i just wrote/typed it so i guess that's wrong now...
