Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 24 2007, 01:39 AM

Hmm it seems the HTML code isn't working, maybe just post your scores then, and we'll trust you!
By the way, some excellent scores so far!

"You are 83% theory genius!"

Hmm. That means I got 5 wrong

Posted by: Spiderusalem Dec 24 2007, 02:58 AM

you know....being who you are.......thats unacceptable

I got a %67

Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 24 2007, 03:12 AM

Woo! 40%!!!

Posted by: skennington Dec 24 2007, 03:19 AM

37 % Looks like I've got a ways to go. I did suprise myself though!

Nice thread!

Steve

OK this sucks! My wife studied piano in school but has'nt been that much invoved with it in years. We have a piano and she still play's on occasion and scored a 37 % also.

Man, I'm here'in it rite now!

Andrew, you are goin to see alot more of me!

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 24 2007, 04:20 AM

Are you sick or something!?!?!

Posted by: shellshock1911 Dec 24 2007, 04:39 AM

Lol I got 100%, that was pretty easy...The only one that confused me was the melodic minor ascending thing. I melodic minor was the same as natural minor ascending and with a b3 descending, but the only choices were b5, #6, #6 and #7, and #7. So I just guessed and went with the 3rd choice because #6=b7 and #7= Root, which the natural minor contains.

Posted by: Tomy Jeon Dec 24 2007, 05:59 AM

You need to cut back on the beer, man!

Posted by: JVM Dec 24 2007, 06:55 AM

I got a 60% but I guessed on a couple of them.

Posted by: Zephyr Dec 24 2007, 07:16 AM

77%! I actually did a lot better than I expected. The French Augmented 6th one, the 12 octaves above open string, and the "playing while standing on your head" all had me laughing... I was really lost on a few of them, though.

Posted by: Zephyr Dec 24 2007, 07:29 AM

Boredom for the first...

And musician for the second! Heck yes!

Posted by: Tomy Jeon Dec 24 2007, 07:51 AM

I got musician as well

Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 24 2007, 10:31 AM

Still an ace score Andrew!




Excellent score, well done! Although you seem to be a bit confused about the melodic minor, the ascending version has a #6 and #7, the descending version is the same as natural minor. Theres no b3, because the third is already a minor third, if you flatten it any more its just a major second Also in a minor key, the #7 is not the same as the root, in for instance A minor, the #7 would be G#, the root is A.
I think you may have misinterpreted the question, it is comparing the ascending melodic minor to the natural minor, not to a major scale. But who cares, you got full marks!

That was a long, head scratching quiz David! Took me ages...


I had questions 10, 26 and 30 wrong ah well better luck next time , but i'm pleased with 90

Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 24 2007, 11:23 AM

Excellent score Deeproots!
I'm glad it made you think a bit, I spent about two hours thinking of suitable questions!

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 24 2007, 11:26 AM

I got 57% so shouldn't struggle too hard on Grade 1 Theory in Feb

Posted by: DeepRoots Dec 24 2007, 11:31 AM

Just for kicks i tried 2 of the other quizzes Tommy posted

Posted by: Tank Dec 24 2007, 11:37 AM

Oof, fudged an easy one. (G minor ) Genuinely got the blues relationship to ragtime wrong (I put jazz)

Nice quiz David


Hmm, the image doesn't appear to be coming up.. it was 93%!

Posted by: Paul Coutts Dec 24 2007, 11:38 AM

I got 73%...which is pretty good, I guess

Posted by: Crazyfret Dec 24 2007, 02:29 PM

I got 73% which I'm quite pleased with. The only theory of music I've picked up is from reading books and mags. I was terrible at music at school!

Posted by: Smells Dec 24 2007, 02:33 PM

70%! that was a suprise, I`m quite chuffed with that Most of my theory was at school some 20 odd years ago, I studied O level music but only took it as a CSE exam in the end, coz at O level there was too much theory and not enough practical for me.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 24 2007, 02:40 PM

How did you get the code to work?

Anyway, i got "Musician" for the other quiz

Posted by: Muris Dec 24 2007, 04:02 PM

Nice Quiz David,thanks for sharing

Posted by: stratman33 Dec 24 2007, 04:24 PM

i couldnt paste my results but i got like 45%, it said i had i basic understanding of theory with much to learn, and that's completely true.

Posted by: Owen Dec 24 2007, 06:56 PM

Nice quiz!

I only got 40% though!

Shocking...

Posted by: Tomy Jeon Dec 24 2007, 07:39 PM

93%???

Posted by: SLASH91 Dec 24 2007, 08:48 PM

Yes!! I got a 43%

I know, it's horrible, but I really thought that I'd do even worse.

Posted by: Slammer Aug 7 2008, 05:56 AM

LOL BUMP!!!

I got 93%

it was that darn, French Augmented chord, and the Sonata question that got me

Posted by: wollace03 Aug 7 2008, 06:50 AM

i had 70% although i was just guessing on some questions so i guess i should go on learning some theory..

Posted by: Velvet Roger Aug 7 2008, 07:57 AM

Got myself 77%, which I am certainly pleased with

Posted by: -Zion- Aug 7 2008, 09:27 AM

43%

it's okay actually..

Posted by: stickyfingers Aug 7 2008, 10:11 AM

80%

nice quiz

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Aug 7 2008, 10:50 AM

O got 73 This means I don't know theory :usnure:

Posted by: Slammer Aug 7 2008, 05:13 PM

Well, you know like 100 times more theory than me

Posted by: Scott Gentzen Aug 7 2008, 05:58 PM

I got a 57%. Higher than I expected. I guess some things are soaking in afterall.

Posted by: kjutte Aug 8 2008, 09:19 AM

73% - theory genius
