Rabea has also done content with Anderton's Music, his "sound like" series should be helping me pick up some effects soon. https://youtube.com/c/andertons Seems he's also performing with Leo Moracchioli/Frog Leap as well.

massive spider posted:If you want to play chords across all 6 strings then it makes sense to keep the major third interval. The only reason I can think not to is if you switch between baritone and 7 strings a lot and dont want to confuse yourself. Dumb question time, how often do you want to do this? Is it just barre and cowboy chords? (talking normal 6 string) I'm mostly playing either distorted power chords or jazz voiced things and rarely using more than 3-4 strings, sometimes not even strummed (in the case of some of the jazz inversions that skip strings). This definitely could be material-based though The g->b interval messes me up more than anything else on the instrument (very in to my isomorphism) and I've thought about tuning either to 4ths or maybe 3rds but I'm wondering what I lock myself out of. Or if I just gotta practice through it. It is nice having the notes be the same on the es.

I will play all 6 in certain tunings like CGCGCE or other open/drop tunings but it's rare as heck for me to do in standard interval tunings

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Hey guys, what grit sandpaper is best for leveling nickel frets again? I ran out of the strips that came with my sanding beam and I need to go pick up some adhesive sheets. 240 or 320 is what I use for nickel. Obviously 240 will require more post-level work, but will get things flat faster if there's a lot of material to come off.. And if adhesive backed is outrageously expensive, you can do the masking tape superglue thing with your sandpaper as well, or buy a roll of double-sided tape (but not the clear 3M stuff that comes in the little plastic gift-wrap style dispenser) because that can often be a whole mess cheaper.

For writing? I just write the MIDI manually. For sounds, this is the first track where I've used GGD's Modern Fusion kit; all of my older stuff was on Drumkit From Hell. I really like the modern kit a lot more than DFH, especially the hats. https://www.getgooddrums.com/products/one-kit-wonder-modern-fusion The drums on this track have zero post-processing; it's all stock sounds from the VST.

have revised my position on blues scales slightly: they’re very useful in jazz to avoid making insane harmonies on accident and more importantly when you’re just given a key and a mode and have to go from there however i still think people rely on them too much and the 4 and 7 create a lot of the interest of a major scale (because thirds are where Music lives and the half steps allow you to do some neat intervallic stuff, like a descending minor third from 1 to 6)

My experience with every Jens Larson video is basically Jens: OK, let's talk about using the pentatonic scale in jazz improvisation! It's easy, can sound great, and uses shapes you already know. Me: OK, yeah, sweet C major pentatonic I can do that all day. Jens: Now remember, you can't just jam in C major pentatonic all day because the song starts in C. You need to identify the dominant 5s that indicate a key change and make sure you move your shape around to stay on the changes. Me: OK, yeah. 2-5s mean a key change, even if it doesn't resolve to the 1. Move your shape around to the new key. I can ... do that. Jens: And of course, just because your song starts in C and modulates to Db here, you aren't locked into just C major and Db major pentatonic. You can use the [X flat minor??] pentatonic shape over that same change because it shares four notes plus this other note that's not in the Db scale but sounds nice outside anyway. Me: Wait hang on, so D flat can also be a ... wait ... Jens: Now let's talk about playing otuside your D flat major pentatonic up the fretboard in this measure where the dominant 5 has been substituted with with the dominant flat 2. Me: ... this video is 6 minutes long ... Jens: Now that we've got all that under our fingers, let's talk bebop phrasing.

One of my honest metrics for my improvement is how far I can make it into one of his videos before getting lost. Nothing but appreciation for the man. A couple of years ago he would have lost me at "shapes you already know."

New guitar day! B&G Guitars Little Sister Crossroads (their MIC line).  I'm really happy with it. The fretboard feels great, no sharp ends, and the finish isn't too "plasticky," which is a complaint I've had with other guitars I've tried recently. Sounds great too, pickups are pretty loud, fairly dark in the neck position and bright in the bridge. My plan is to set this one up for slide, throw 11s on it, maybe raise the action. My only complaint is the tuners feel really cheap. They're super fast, so hard to tune; the buttons are tiny and hard to get leverage on; and the G string tuner has a ton of slop in it. B&G sells the hardware from their higher-end models direct, so you can swap them onto this model, and I may do that. In the spirit of sharing more playing in the thread, here's a little demo of some fingerstyle blues followed by the most boring open chord jamming in recorded history, on each pickup. I tried to do some more interesting demos after, but somehow the first take is always the best one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-hcvyU0xzA

what's the standard way to do sheet music notation for guitar? my gut tells me "treble clef an octave down" but if everyone does something else, i'll just do that

Yeah, octave down. C4 on your staff will correspond to C3 on a piano.

I believe you write it an octave above what you play, right? Like middle C is actually B string, first fret but that is notated as an octave higher than that. When you see middle C written you'd play A string, third fret. Right? It's been a while.

When I write something that I'm feeling good about I pretty much go right into cubase and program some quick drums and a harmonic base with organ or pads or something so I can remember the chords and maybe a little voice leading.

Yeah I mean if you feel comfortable enough with your writing and reading skills to write it out on a staff go for it. I don't work enough with sheet music to be as quick with that as with a piano roll so that's how I do it.
