QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Jan 14 2010, 01:36 AM) Robert we continue with your 2nd assignment for January. This assignment is sort of like an essay or written theory behind your current level of knowledge. This will help me totally understand where you are at right now. I will give you couple of topics from which you can choose one (or more if you want to!) and write me as many things as possible about it. The deadline for this assignment is 17th of January. Here are the topics for your 2nd assignment : 1) Tell me everything you know about major scale. Construction, intervals, harmony and everything else you feel I need to know. 2) Tell me everything you know about cadences in major scale and its modes. Use C major scale for explanations. 3) Tell me everything you know about major scale modes? 4) Tell me everything you know about modal harmony? 5) Tell me everything you know about pentatonic scales? 6) Tell me everything you know about chord tone and tension relationship with harmony ? 7) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor scale harmony? 8) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor modes and harmony? Remember, pick one (or more if you can do it by deadline) and write me as much as possible on given subject. I want to read and understand how you approach and understand given material. Deadline for this assignment is 3 days from now, 17th of January. Let me know if you have any questions! Pedja Hello Pedja Here is my essay with all i know now.

Hi Pedja
I also know about the pentatonic scale that is has 5 notes in it. Therefore we have 5 positions to start the scale so there are 5 boxes. There are minor and major pentatonic boxes. The one I know are minor. I use them when I improvise because the sound good. Major I don't used very often. Regards Robert -------------------- Gear:

Robert here are your remaining assignments for January. I have a feeling you will enjoy these a lot!
3rd assignment : - Read Superimposing with Minor Pentatonics post HERE - After reading the whole thing with related link posts, think about choosing one chord and one approach you will use for recording! 4th assignment : - After you have chosen your approach, record a backing track with that chord and on top of that record yourself soloing with 1 or all 3 minor pentatonics corresponding with that mode! Let me give you an example here. Lets say that you have chosen A minor as your chord. Now you also chose A minor to be treated as II (Dorian sounding). In that case you should play minor pentatonics from G major scale ( A , B and E minor pentatonics) over A min chord in the background. 4th assignment asks you only to pick 1 but it also allows you to use all 3 pentatonics if you want to. Backing track doesn't have to be anything fancy for this purpose. Just guitar playing the chord will do, if you want to add bass and drums to that to make it sound tighter go ahead! Deadline for these assignments is 31st of January! Let me know if you have any questions ! Pedja |

Hi Pedja
Just read about superimposing. This theory is incredible. I just couldn't believe what I am reading. I have never knew this. Thx for this great post. Robert. -------------------- Gear:

Deadline for these assignments is 31st of January! Let me know if you have any questions ! Pedja He is just to recap this with the F scale and see Gm as I, II and VI degree The F maj scale (F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E) The minors are : II= Gm G pentatonic minor: G,Bb,C,D,F (1,b3,4,5,b7) III=Am A pentatonic minor: A,C,D,E,G (1,b3,4,5,b7) VI=Dm D pentatonic minor: D,F,G,A,C (1,b3,4,5,b7) Look at Gm as II, III, VI: Gm as II is F maj scale (F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E) = G Dorian = G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F Gm as III is Eb scale (Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,D ) = G Phrygian = G,Ab,Bb,C,D,Eb,F Gm as VI is Bb maj scale(Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A) = G Aeolian = G,A,Bb,C,D,Eb,F Gm comes from: F maj, Eb maj and Bb maj; F maj scale (F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E) II = Gm III = Am VI = Dm Gm that sounds Dorian play GM, AM Dm pentatonic Eb maj (Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,D ) II=Fm III Gm VI=Dm Gm that sounds G Phrygian play Fm, Gm and Dm pentatonic Bb maj; (Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A) II= Cm III= Dm VI= Gm Gm that sounds G Aeolian play Cm, Dm and Gm pentatonic I hope this is correct. I have worked tjis out for Gm but does this theory also count for III (Am) and VI (Dm)? -------------------- Gear:

QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Jan 23 2010, 03:45 AM) Robert VI in Eb major is C minor not D minor. Also you are right regarding last question. This Superimposing applies to all chords in major scale not just II but also III VI minors as well as I IV V majors! Hello Pedja I agree on the Cm. Ok I will work it out for the III and VI minor and the I-IV-V Majors Cheers Robert -------------------- Gear:
