opening riff of godhead's lament - E minor or G major?

[Vega Skater]

haha this thread is so hilarious.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mike logged off straight after that post.

Well, G harmonic minor, perhaps. I't can't be natural minor because of the f# leading tone. Also there is no flat five in harmonic minor so it's not STRICTLY diatonic to that scale either. Maybe G harmonic minor with locrian tendencies? .

The last sentence is utterly meaningless. Just because you have a diminished fifth doesn't mean you have 'locrian tendencies'. And compositionally you would work from the harmonic minor, not the natural, so there's nothing remotely unusual about that. I know in your edit you acknowledged that you were grasping at straws but it needed to be said.

hmm, no?

Cut the bullshit, the guy knows his theory. You know Call of Duty, he knows musical theory. Everyone can be happy now.

E minor and G major are the same thing.

What he said.

They are relitive Maj/min to each other so there's really no difference. It would depend on what chord your playing over.

 

[Arasmas]

they are absolutely 100% not the same thing

CadenZ made some interesting remarks regarding the way an opeth riff is built out. You decided to change direction into cracking worthless jokes.

Another amazing guitar stupidity moment brought to you by BANGADRIAN (arasmas).

You should make a song countdown sorted by what keys the songs are in.

NR you start the "using your pinkie is pointless" argument again.

 

[Arasmas]

ftr i never said it's pointless for everyone. it's just pointless for me because i have really good reach, and the ring is a stronger finger

ftr i never said it's pointless for everyone. it's just pointless for me because i have really good reach, and the ring is a stronger finger

try playing 4 note per string diatonic scales or even regular wholetone-semitone or bebop scale box shapes without your pinky, the speed is bound to be inferior.

 

[Arasmas]

well obviously there are certain times when you need the pinky, like yer basic bar chord, so i use it in those situations. but for like a 3 or 4 fret reach where most people would use their pinky, i use my ring because i have wicked stretching powers and it's just what i'm used to, i basically play rock and blues anyway so who gives a shit about technique or fingering

What the fuck, one is G, B, D; the other is G, B, E

 

[Annihilat0r]

Arasmas, your previous nick was Vuashke and you were banned on Mikael's orders, right ?

 

[Hox]

pretty much

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Haha so Arasmas is Vuashke!?

 

[Arasmas]

[Widows Sulk]
