Hey, looking forward to it. My goals are to learn to compose and record and really just want to get better at everything. I think my weaknesses are my timing and technique as well as being able to play what I hear. For strengths I think I have good finger speed a good base in theory (self taught so I could be wrong biggrin.gif ) and I'm persistant I'll keep at it till I get it right. I don't know if I really have any favorite guitar players I get inspired by so many different people and bands. Dimebag Darrell was a big influence but I like so many different kinds of music that its hard to pinpoint anybody specific other than anybody who can play a good groove, or something technical.
Thanks

Awesome!
So here is how we will be doing it smile.gif
We will be combining transcribing and playing on the go plus will add some improvisation and composition into the practice routine!
To start I would like you to transcribe this chord progression!
Write out the chords and the key!
This simple assignment will give me a better idea for your future challenges!

That sounds great!!!!!!!! biggrin.gif Ok so I think I got it.

A, E, Bm, E, A ,E ,Bm, E, A, E, A, Dm, A, E, A, Dm, A.
Key: A major

I chose A major because it began on A and ended on A and because of the F#, G#, and C#, but I'm not sure how the Dm fits in but A major seemed the most fitting to me?????

Thanks,
Chris

You are correct it is A major and D minor is a part of it if we are using D melodic minor V will be A triad or A7 chord! You almost got it right try to listen carefully and I am sure you will get it! 99% there! smile.gif

I don't follow. I thought I knew how to harmonize a scale but I guess I don't know what you mean by this, and is a dom7 chord made up of 1,3,5,b7. So A7 would be A,C#,E,G? Most of the theory I know is stuff I tried to learn myself from reading articles and stuff so I may get a little lost here and there, it makes sense to me hopefully it was right biggrin.gif

And is this it did I have it mixed up?

A,E,Dm,E
A,E,Dm,E
A,Bm,A,Dm
A,Bm,A,Dm
A

A,E,Dm,E
A,E,Dm,E
A,Bm,A,Dm
A,Bm,A,Dm
A

Check it out!
The chord progression is:
A - C#mi - Bmi - E
A - Bmi - C#mi - Dmi
That's all it was! smile.gif The only difference was Dmi which came from D melodic minor
If we would harmonize the scale we will get:
Dmi/maj7 - Emi7 - Fmaj7#5 - G7 - A7 - B#mi7b5 - C#mi7b5

Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

Ok, so the Dm was just "borrowed" and has no effect on the overall key? But is still related through the A7 in D harmonic minor. How do you know when a chord is just borrowed from another scale or key, instead of causing it to modulate, or have a more direct effect on what key the piece is in? And since I bombed on this test, what's next. I look forward to the next challenge!

Well in order to understand the keys you need to understand how to harmonize the scale and learn circle of fifth would you like me to explain you how it works?
Dmi is related to A7 if we are thinking of it as D melodic or harmonic minor!

So let me show you a harmonization first!
Here is how you can harmonize major scale!
Maj7 - Mi7 - Mi7 - Maj7 - 7 - Mi7 - Half diminished (mi7b5)


Using this method I would like you to harmonize two scales:
G major and A major
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!
I will post a new transcribing assignment tomorrow! smile.gif

Well you are almost correct but you forgot sharps and flats
Are you familiar with the circle of fifth?

Crap....I'm not sure what I was thinking. I don't have all the keys memorized but I do know those two.

Gmaj7, Amin7, Bmin7, Cmaj7, D7, Emin7, F#m7b5
Amaj7, Bmin7, C#min7, Dmaj7, E7, F#min7, G#m7b5

I know a little of the circle of fifths. I'm not sure I could draw it 100%, but it tells the key signatures and how many sharps and flats for each key by starting at C and moving clockwise in fifths, adding one sharp as it goes. Counter clockwise it goes in fourths adding one flat as it goes, but I can't remember the pattern of which sharp and flat it adds. And also shows the relative minor for a major key?

Here is the track to transcribe! smile.gif
http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/transcribing
It is in the same key and very fun chord progression to learn! smile.gif
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!

No it isn't! So let's do it step by step!
I would like you to find the bass notes only and I will show you what to do after!

I'm sorry man, I promise it's not from lack of effort. I spent quite a bit of time isolating each chord on a loop, looking for the bass note. I come up with something different everytime it seems like. For the bass notes is this close I am unsure about a couple but felt good about some? A,D,E,D,A,D,C?,D,A,D,F?,D,C? Thanks.

You are absolutely correct!!!
Now let's add 7th voicings to those chords! It is based on diatonic scale!

Dm7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, Bm7? Being able to sort through all the notes to hear the bass note or the root note, is that just something that comes with time and experience or are there any tricks to help?

Good job! I would suggest to play along and try to figure out the correct chords! More you do that easier it will get, but it takes time so be passionate and keep doing what you are doing! smile.gif
Now I would like to find the rest of the bass notes!!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!

I went through and still don't seem to be able to pick out just the bass note but I put together all the notes that I could find in each chord to try to figure out the chord, and bass note. Soooooooo, I'm gonna guess the bass notes are the same and just repeat 2 and a half more times. But since I was picking out everything I'm gonna take a guess at the whole thing.
Dm7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, Bm7
Dm, G, C, Bm
Dm7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, Bm7
Dm, G
The 7th chords didn't seem to fit the 2nd and fourth time, but I'm having trouble trusting my ears at this point smile.gif

Hey man, I wanted to get this done sooner but I have spent the past few days downloading software and trying new things. I feel like my whole guitar playing universe has been turned upside down from watching this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Kh2LB7K_E
I found this in the rec room and have since spent the past few day reading and catching up on all the technology that I have apparently been missing. I'm not very good with computers really and it took me 3 days to figure out to turn the monitor on button on in reaper biggrin.gif then I had to figure out noisegates, and vst's, Impulse responses, the order of things, impulse loaders, panning different cabinets. Holly cow when I started, you just needed an amp. I'm on overload now, with all the free software out there, it's like walking into a music store and they tell you you can have whatever you want.......almost....I can't wait to do some more collabs now and get some tips on mixing and tone. You must think I have been living under a rock. tongue.gif So any way this progression was especially fun and in reaper it was easier for me to mix and isolate.......Hopefully I got this one right.
Is it.....
Dm7, A#, G, Dm7
Dm&, A#, G, Dm7
Thanks..... smile.gif smile.gif

It is awesome that you are learning how to use the software!!! It will definitely help you to become a better player if you record yourself! smile.gif It might hard at first but as soon as you will get it everything will be very easy!!!!

About the chord progression you are correct about the first chord
it is Dmi7 the rest are wrong
Try to listen carefully and I am sure you will get it!
Let me know if you have any troubles and I will help you to figure out! smile.gif

Hey alex, here is my guess of the day tongue.gif Are the bass notes D, F, G, C, D, F, G, C? Is there a common mistake that you can notice that I am making, I wish I could figure out how I'm going wrong. Do you notice that perhaps I am picking out the same note wrong more often like a 3rd or a 5th? Or am I just randomly picking wrong notes and chords? Thanks for your patience smile.gif

You are 50% there!
D - ? - G - ?

You got the first and forth correct! Try to find other two!

Hey, it's almost like chord progression hangman tongue.gif Are the bass notes??????????? D, A#, G, F??????? Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Is there a way to figure out why I can't pic out the right notes or is it just a matter of practice? When I am trying to figure them out I isolate a section on a loop and try to play a not with it that fits, then a chord. Should I try to listen then shut the music of and try to find it on the guitar? How do you do it?

What we can do if you can make a short video of you transcribing? or you can just explain it step by step in the thread by writing! This way I will get an exact idea on how to help you!
I know you have a good ear and it shouldn't be a hard fix!
