Hey helpful GMC dudes and gals :-),

Lets assume a song is in the key of A. Can I play lead with the A minor pentatonic or the A major pentatonic, or is one more 'correct and more pleasant' than the other?

Question 2: If the minor pentatonic sounds good in a progression, does that mean the the minor scale (all the 7 notes) will sound good also?

If you understand my questions :-) and can answer them, that would be very appreciated..

Thanks all!

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble pushing down the G- string (when standard tuned ) , especially with an acoustic guitar when barring examples such as the following... As well, my fingers begin to hurt because I am putting pressure, but for some reason, no matter how much I put, the G- string particularly does not ring clearly :-( This is frustrating :-) Does anyone know why I cant get it to ring? is there a trick ? or is it just practice and practice and eventually I'll build up the proper strength?

Thanks for any input, it is always much appreciated because it is very helpful to me!

For example, some of the following chords I have trouble getting all the strings to ring clearly...


Bb7M Cm7 Dm7 Eb7M F7 Gm7 Am7/5- Bb7M

Hey guys,
After listening to the importance of warming up, I was just wondering what is an adequate time (in minutes :-) that you warm up for? Assuming I do warm up excercies, how long do you think I should spend warming up until I am ready to record / perform? (I am a beginner :-)
Thanks again for any input , you guys rule!

Hey guys,
My problem is that every time I put high volume with high distortion on my amp, and play either open chords and/ or jazz chords for example, the sound sounds terrible - like very messy and unclear. My amp is a Line 6 spider. I was wondering if this is a common problem when playing chords with distortion on... Is the best way to play chords (other than power chords) to turn the volume / distortion down on the amp?
Thanks for any input to help me solve this tone issue :-)

rolleyes.gif Hey all, here is my setup. Toneport UX1 and Reaper recording software.

Heres my questions: how do I add drums? how do i add base? What I mean is what programs should I use, and can i do it through reaper? the cheaper the software / freeware, the better :-)

Last minor question: Do you add the drums or base before you record guitar, or after you record guitar?

Again, I appreciate all the help so far from you guys. whenever you get the chance, I would greatly appreciate suggestions. Thanks!
