Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

OK I came up with something. I tried to use 6 modes in one song, and you be the judge how it fits together! I wanted to emphasize the different moods of every mode with mode-specific chords.
So here's what I composed: It starts with the A Ionian mode over these chords: A, D, A, E A, D, A, E A, F#m7, A, E, A, F#m7, Bm7, C#m7 Then we switch to A Lydian mode with the B7 chord... is this transition too drastic? A, B7, C#m7, B A, B7, C#m7, E A, F#m7, C#m7, E A, F#m7, E, Esus4 Now it breaks to A Aeolian mode which is the most significant mood switch, from major to minor: Am, C, F, Esus4, E Am, C, F, G Am, C, F, Esus4, E Am, C, F, G Now I added the D major chord which brings A dorian mode: Am, D, Cadd9, C, G6 Am, D, Cadd9, C, G6 Am, D, Em, G6 Am, D, Em G6 And now another big switch to A phrygian using the A# chord: Am, A#, C, A# Am, A#, C, A# Am, A#, C, A# Am, F, G And I found out that dominant chord as a root has really funky/bluesy feel which is great for A mixolydian mode: A7, A7sus4, D, Dsus4 A7, A7sus4, D, Dsus4 G, D, A7 G, D, A That's it my friend. I enjoyed making this but I'm not sure how correct and musical it is. I'll leave that to you to decide! I quickly recorded me strumming all these chords, so you can check it out by hearing the whole idea. Guitar tone sucks - I know, and it probably went a little out of tune because my strings need replacement, but you'll hear the most important stuff in this mess, I hope I'm really sleepy now and didn't have the time to record and mix this better When we decide over a certain progression, I'll make something with better quality using virtual instruments. http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/dinaga-modes I had to take a picture of my desk, just for fun These interval/chord/scale cheatsheets I made are quite helpful, I'm looking forward to being able to do this without looking at the paper But I'm slowly learning Now that I look at this, I really shouldn't have used A chord at the beginning of every progression. But hey, it's a start This post has been edited by Dinaga: Apr 23 2012, 12:35 AM |

Alright mate, no problem! End of June sounds great I will try to be as musical as possible, I too think it will be more than fitting for this type of collab.
