I WANT

yeah dude ive always been obsessed with those, the blue aqua one is the best IMO. but it's an edwards e-cy-165ctm

[innuenDO]

Wow just fuckin wow
I'll definitely buy one of those. The only question is "when".

[Dunununuuu-NUNUNU]

Nah. Caparison Horus all the way.

Or not really, gotta say those Edwards are gorgeous too. Still, Caparisons are probably better, and I like some of their finishes alot better - + their p-ups kicks ass.

What do you do when one of your strings is a bit flat and you can't even turn the fine tuner anymore cuz it's as tight as it can be? Should I open the nut lock and just use the regular tuning peg to make it more sharp and risk snapping the string?

reset all the fine tuners to the middle of their range, open the nut, retune from scratch

damn, but why can't I just open the nut for the string I need to? Which is the B string btw.

oh wait, I'm guessing it would fuck up the tension and mess up all the other strings as well...?

[Altitudes]

Yeah, just do what shredtesticle suggested.

[Mystique1721]

alright.

yeah, changing the tension of one string skews the balance of the bridge, which affects all the strings.

i actually considered changing it to something cheesy like lord_requiem but uh...

[Mystique1721]

how haunting would it be if we had the Requiem For a Dream theme song as our next backing track

well, as soon as i get my mini-studio up and running (which will be like never at this rate ), my vote will be for mediterranean sundance (al di meola). the solo section bit that starts off in E-Aeolian, going Emin, Amin, Dmaj7, Gmaj, then switches to E-Phrygian with the Fmaj, Emin, and finally ends with a harmonic minor bit with i believe off the top off my head is another Dmaj7, although i don't quite remember, it might go to F#dim, B7. I was jamming on that the other day, i think all the modulations would kind of make the jam interesting, as well as it being a pretty upbeat track.

[Mystique1721]

I thought Aeolian was indeed the minor scale...so you say he starts in E Aeolian and then goes to Emin...

And with all those key changes, I don't think most of the people here will be able to handle it.

yeah, it is. the chord progression starts off with an Emin.

but wtf, it's 2 SCALES PEOPLE!!

and, ONE NOTE DIFFERENCE ffs

(well -technically- 3 and 2 but yeah )

[Mystique1721]

yeah, it'd be helpful to write down the scales and all. The theoretical terms can confuse some people

first 4 chords: E F# G A B C D E (e natural minor)

next 2: E F G A B C D E (e phrygian)

last bit: E F# G A B C D# E (e harmonic minor) *

*note: you don't HAVE to use the harmonic minor in here, but if it's a backing with the dominant chord it's rather implied (among a few other scales...)

[Corny]

Shredtastical is right. The only difference between the first key (G or Em) and the second (C or Am) is that you play F# in the first instead of F like in the second.

Some thoughts:
I wouldn't play E aeolian over Dmaj7. Dmaj7 is not part of G (the key) because of the c#. So if you play the sixth note of E-aeolian (c) over Dmaj7 with it's c#, it may sound like shit.

And the B7 would make sense, because the D# in the harmonic minor would be the major 3rd (english name?) in the chord B7.


Sounds like a good idea for a BT to me.

wow, that's a lovely piece. just listened to it. but I'd assume it'd be nice if we all had classical/acoustic guitars for that...something I'm lacking atm.

and also what happened to that Fmaj you mentioned? that would have Bflat in it
