Tritone substitution?
It looks like both the guitar and the banjo are capo-ed at the third fret, which would be Bb. However it sounds like A so either both are tuned down a semi tone, half step, or the video has been...
Well I get the joke if nobody else does. These two are the same up to the high B. You decide if you read it as having the 6th above or below. Or to put it another way, you decide if the melody is the...
You can use double stops to add harmony to a melody. One convention, used by harmony singers as well as by musicians, is to play a 3rd, a 6th or a 10th above the melody, note for note. (Changing one...
It's always a pleasure to watch a Gillian Welch and David Rawlings track.
D6/9/A: (x04430)
I think of this as Bm+4/A. You have the three notes of Bm with the open A string as bass and the open...
As someone who plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin and, occasionally, concertina I like the fact that music notation is not instrument specific. I can read music for any non transposing instrument and any...
What happens if you edit the ABC file to show the double endings? If you don't know how to do it, post the ABC file you have and I'll edit it.
If you look at my post in the ear training thread you'll see this.
Hear, or imagine, a short series of notes and then play them. The first thing is to establish a key. Then, if you know the scale...
Another way of thinking of this stuff is in terms of sound linked to finger position. I am making the presumption that you are doing ear training because you want to be able to play what you hear. To...
The problem with an over dependency on scales and scales theory is that you lose the focus on sound. If you are making music the most important thing is how it sounds. Whether or not it matches some...
This might sound a bit old school, but maybe you could consider going out there and buying a book. Or buy one on ebay. Here in the UK there was one by a guy called Eric Taylor which I used to use to...
I missed this last night. I've still not found a site that will play the complete track. I've found a couple that will play samples of the track and one has part of the intro in the sample. I could...
Thanks for going to the trouble of notating that. As I haven't heard the intro I was assuming that the intro was played on mandolin.
As for the names of the chords, we can both be right. Your D6...
Maybe it's because I'm in the UK but the video, like all the others I've tried, wont play.
In bar 3 is he playing something like
E╓─3──7──6──5──┬─3───────────┐
A╟─2──5──4──3──┼─2───────────┤...
The only sound clip I can get of this is from this site;

It's only part of the track, no intro or long solo, just a...
5 0 0 1
has all the notes for F6 but with C in the bass might be called F6/C.
2 0 0 1
losses the C for a low A but would be easier to play.
2 0 3 1
Cheers.
You're welcome.

I was recently able to upgrade from version 1.? to version 2.whatever. I used to use Sibelius when I had Windows but since switching to Linux, Oh Happy day!, I have used Musescore. Quite a few of...
I've no idea about jazz scale patterns but here are a couple I used to use. They are based on four eighth notes and the patterns are then repeated one diatonic note higher or lower.
...
This is a good starting point but you should be able to rely on your assessment of whether or not a note sounds 'right' and change it if iot doesn't.
This is what is called the 'natural'...
Hi ralph johansson
Were you drunk when you posted this? You quoted me saying that I taught notation yet express outrage that I also taught tab. It's a funny old world isn't it?
The first part...
Here is a moveable minor pentatonic scale plus b5 with the root (R) on the G, A and E strings. Move everything across one string to get the root on the D string. R = root, O = other minor pentatonic...
Have a read of this.

I use notation, I read and write notation and, in the past I taught notation. I learned to play by ear and learned notation much later. When I started private teaching I used tab so that the students...
