[QUOTE=jkeithc82;19063941]Very good adivce, and I'd also recommend purchasing and using a metronome to get timing down. Helps a lot. :D[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Metronome helped me alot; for years I played and played but was missing some of finer points of making music. Timing and feel is HUGE!

*picks jaw up from floor*
I forget to mention each mode has a corresponding chord also...
(Someone correct if I'm wrong) Example in Jazz:
Ionian - maj7
Dorian - min7
Phrygian - min7
Lydian - maj7
Mixolydian - dim7
Aeolian - min7
Locrian - flat5,7 <---can't remember this one...
I know there are certain notes that are termed "Avoid Notes" in certain scales but they are termed that because of the dissonace that is created. For instance a play a Cmaj on the piano and hold down the F key, doesn't sound exactly right, right? That doesn't mean they should be avoided though, used in the right context or in passing they sound fine.
alright i'm back from the GC - any requests for lessons?
Arps? Legato? tapping?
btw does anyone still have a copy of all the tapping lessons by schmange that was hosted at guitartricks.com ages ago? Apparently they're making us pay for an account there to get access again. wtf!?!
cuz its gonna be a pain to tab out so many lessons ...
I'll start by quoting the crazy train tab next time - we'll start with that and one and see how we go from there.
----
Also some personal requests - damn mindripper - how did you work your way up to such smooth arps? I'm still stuck on learning symphony x's connected sweeps.

Arp lessons please. Or sweeping in general. I feel like such a noob in this thread :o.
I have never really figured out if my right (pick) hand is supposed to be floating or not either. I haven't been playing too long but I don't want to develop to many bad habits.

Are you trying to talk about chordal scales? If I were to play a chordal scale in say... D major it would look like this
D major 7
E minor 7
F# minor 7
G major 7
A [b]dominant 7[/b]
B minor 7
C# dominant 7 flat 5 (Half diminished)
Or in C major it would look like this
C major 7
D minor 7
E minor 7
F major 7
G Dominant 7
A minor 7
B dominant 7 flat 5

well its 4:47am here - i'll write up a nice little lesson involving arps later in the day - but for now - what you're basically trying to do is let your picking hand drop from string to string - and you have to play an arp dead slow to get the timing down.
say you wanted to play
[code]
|----------- 12--17- 12-------------------------|
|---------13------------13----------------------|
|------12------------------12-------------------|
|----14----------------------14-----------------|
|--15--------------------------15---------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
4 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 4
Looks complicated but this was the first real arp
i ever played since i was obsessed with children of bodom
in grade 11. Use the numbers underneath the tab for finger positions
1 index
2 middle
3 ring
4 pinky
[/code]
what your doing for the down stroke of the arp is letting your picking hand drop from one sting to the next and as you hit a string you should release the fretted note with your fretting hand as you go down. Try playing it clean before you hit the distortion.
The last 12 -17-12 is a hammer on and pull of before you head back to playing the sweep backwards with an upward sweep. Here you're raking your pick upwards towards you in a smooth and continous manner when you roll the ball of your fingertips over the string to dampen the notes already played.
Your fretting hand basically forms the 'chord' like apr position one fretted finger at a time till the entire arp is played.
Damn thats a horrible explanation but i hope you get something out of it. check out google video and youtube for arp or sweep vids.
Hopefully some other members can help shed sum lite on the topic

Thanks, that cleared things up pretty well for me...I'm having trouble getting any speed right now but I think I just need practice. That pattern is actually the same as the one that is in the song I'm trying to get down, just starting o n a different fret, is that a common arp patten? The song I'm trying to learn is Canon Rock btw, I can get most of it except the sweeping.

Wow, that was great man. How long have you been playing for? Also, i couldn't tell in the video, but do you rest your picking hand/wrist on the bridge, or is it floating?
started playing freshman year in high school. i just graduated college, so about 8 years. i'd say i rest my hand on the bridge. its funny i cant really remember and would have to play to check.

actually i think that is great for beginners, because u learn the strings,
eventually you will stop looking at them once you learn them, and focus on the fingers, then eventually you wont need tolook at all
What is a good way to get off a plateau?
I've been playing for about a year and a half/ 2years, can play pentatonic pretty handily,and mostly medium difficulty songs (hey joe, the general, over the hills etc.) Problem is I feel like I'm not really getting better anymore.

been there, dude best way to get over that, play songs that are new, look up new bands that you never heard of play random stuff...
Or join a band yourself, honestly gotta have fun with it and not look at it as a way to improve your skill level.. Alot of time being good just comes with the time...

Take some lessons. A good guitar teacher who respect and want to play with is a great motivator. I had already been playing (off and on) for over 15 years before I took serious lessons. First month was all filling in the gaps and learning to play with better technique/discipline. After that, most of the time we just jammed going over bits of whatever style I was interested in. He was a jazz, classical, flamenco player which is the polar opposite of me but it really worked and helped me grow as a player and musician.

can we get serious begginer stuff
holding the guitar, hand position
wheres a great place to learn chords...like actual finger diagrams??or can u hold them anyway u want ( although i hear there are specifics to improve your progression)
