Gmc Learning Poster Options

[Pio Jr.]

Hey GMC'ers,

I'm making the first GMC educational poster. I'll will upload it when I finished and everybody on GMC can download it and print on a poster with online photoservice (for example www.foto.com )

I'm still looking for a cool picture of a guitarneck with all the notes on it
I didn't found a nice picture on google yet.
If you have something like that on your machine. Please upload it.

educational poster while contains:

• guitarneck
• scale major, minor, penta,
• kwinten circle
• some chords

Size 100cm x 40 cm so it while be a panoramic poster

If you have other ideas for the poster or educational picture (diagrams, scales,..) I can use. Please post

Thx Pio Jr.

[Emir Hot]

very cool idea for the poster

[David Wallimann]

I'm all for it!
It would be nice to have all often used info on one nice poster.

[Skalde]

Cool idea. would be really helpful.
Be sure to look for images free of copyright before putting GMC logo on

That sounds like a really cool idea man. I cant wait!

[Caelumamittendum]

Sounds like a great idea, man! Looking forward to seeing it.

This is a great idea - I have been meaning to download a picture with the notes and scales but have never got around to finding one. Seems to be an absolute perfect fit to the website - your future ideas would be most welcome!

i have an idea about the poster, I have some kind of a table of keys that I've made some years ago to help me memorize them all, here's the post that I've made some while ago in the forum, hope you find it useful.

This is basically the table with all the diatonic keys. There are 14 of them, because of the way the circle of fifths and fourths work (some of them have the same notes)

In the middle column (column "J" ) you have the key of C major. It starts from above with the note C and goes down like this:

C
D
E
F
G
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
A

pay attention at the color that C note has. It is orange. The C in the row 10 is orange as well. This is the C major SCALE and KEY

The notes bellow the row 10 are going to A which is the last note in the C major column. It is in row 15 and marked with dark blue color. I have done this cause I wanted to have full relative minor scale of every key as well, and because of the intervals which I will explain now.

Now pay attention to the Column "A". There you have the degrees of the scale written down. You have I - VIII from orange row 3 to orange row 10. These numbers tell you what degree are the notes in rows of the major scales to the right.

Now check out the Column "B". There you can see the intervals that notes represent. You will notice that there are interval numbers from 1-13. I've gone beyond the major scale root, so you can easily pick the notes for extended chords.

The next column "C" tells you what mode every note builds within a key to the right. This is where to colors come in handy. I've made this layout:

ORANGE
LIGHT BLUE
LIGHT BLUE
YELLOW
YELLOW
DARK BLUE
GREEN
ORANGE
( and repeating again )

Because the table contains too many notes, sometimes it is difficult to find the right note. So this should help. "Warm" colors build major chords, and "cold" colors build minor chords. Green is exception and it is building diminished chord (Locrian mode).

ORANGE is the root of the key
LIGHT BLUE is 2 note of the key, builds dorian mode, has minor chord
LIGHT BLUE is 3 note of the key, builds phrygian mode, has minor chord
YELLOW is 4 note of the key, builds Lydian mode, has major chord
YELLOW is 5 note of the key, builds Mixolydian mode, has major chord
DARK BLUE is 6 note of the key, builds Aeolian mode, natural minor scale, builds minor chord
GREEN is 7 note of the key, builds Locrian mode, and diminished chord.

This table can tell you quick and easy what notes are within any key you want, and you can stack notes to build chords as well. I suggest printing the sheet in color and putting it on the wall. After some time the colors will enable you to find the right note immediately, and after some more time you will learn them by heart. Since this is practically the whole diatonic scale theory the system is pretty effective.

[Rated Htr]

Doubt anybody will choose the second option in the poll

Bring it

[Ramiro Delforte]

Really cool idea!!
I support it 100%

[sted]

I have a few things taped to my desk as a learning aid (Fretboard etc) so having this as a poster will be a big help, will you publish a proof for a bit of tweaking first?

Awesome idea mate, really cool of you to help others out in your own time like this!

[Pedja Simovic]

Years ago I used to have all sorts of learning things on my wall - it helped me then and I feel this will help anybody now !

[Bogdan Radovic]

This is a very good idea..Learning poster would be really useful!

[Canis]

Great idea! I might even move the Sonata Arctica flag over my computer to replace it with this poster

[Vasilije Vukmiro...]

This is very useful!

[djohnneay]

Good idea !

I have notes of the theory lessons too, which I look into every now and then to keep remember myself by.
A poster could contribute to that !

[Trond Vold]

Excellent idea!

[Fran]

Cool idea for sure!
