20:24:10 Sircraigery: hey muris
20:24:35 Sircraigery: hey man
20:24:43 Andrew Cockburn: HEy guys
20:25:20 Andrew Cockburn: Hey rok
20:25:24 Sircraigery: hey man, i was gonna ask you, when you are doing a solo, do you usually use a scale to the key of the chord the rythm is playing?
20:25:28 Sircraigery: yo
20:25:35 Andrew Cockburn: Good question
20:25:47 rokchik: Hello All
20:25:48 Andrew Cockburn: The answer is yes or no
20:25:50 Andrew Cockburn:
20:26:09 Andrew Cockburn: What you would usually7 do is find a scale that fits over most of thechords you are playing
20:26:17 Andrew Cockburn: SOmetimes that is not possible
20:26:26 Andrew Cockburn: so you miught switch scales threough the song
20:26:39 muris: Hey folks
20:26:43 Andrew Cockburn: Or you might do it deliberatelky for effect
20:26:47 Andrew Cockburn: Hey Muris
20:26:55 rokchik: I may be slow as looking at Gabriel's rocker riff...the RATM caught my eye...LOL
20:26:57 muris: hi Andrew
20:27:02 muris: what's new?
20:27:11 Sircraigery: i'm so new to scales man, i'm not sure if i know what you mean by fits over all the chords, sorry if it's a real amature question haha
20:27:22 Andrew Cockburn: muris - just playing a little
20:27:30 Andrew Cockburn: No that;s ok =
20:27:30 muris: cool
20:27:42 muris: I saw you got your Jem after all
20:27:45 rokchik: Sircraigery....I'm still in the Am penatonic box so don't worry
20:27:46 muris: congrats!!
20:27:46 Sircraigery: what's everyone listening to?
20:27:47 Andrew Cockburn: I have a lesson on this stuff
20:27:53 Andrew Cockburn: muris thanks
20:28:09 Sircraigery: i know the major and first 2 pentatonic boxes lol
20:28:16 Andrew Cockburn: The basic idea is that you can build chords out of the sscales you are using and it all fits ogether
20:28:25 Gen: aaaaaaaaaaaa i cant sleep!!!
20:28:30 Andrew Cockburn: let me find you a link
20:28:33 Gen: lol btw hi all...
20:28:34 rokchik: I learned that from your theory lessons Andrew
20:28:36 Andrew Cockburn: Gen drink more beer
20:28:40 Gen: hehe
20:28:47 muris:
20:28:47 Andrew Cockburn: rokchik lol good girl!
20:28:49 Sircraigery: oh, so if the chords fir inside a scale? or over the template or whatever...(you know what i mean)
20:28:56 Sircraigery: hey gen

20:30:16 rokchik: I'm all about the calm.....very Zen
20:30:23 rokchik: LOL
20:30:26 Andrew Cockburn: Find your centre .,..
20:30:55 muris:
20:31:00 Andrew Cockburn: Damn ! I finally learned to really relax my picking hand - really making a difference to my playing
20:31:02 rokchik: That's not hard to find...haven't been to the gym since the shoulder thing
20:31:07 rokchik: lol
20:31:09 Andrew Cockburn: lol
20:31:17 Andrew Cockburn: No more Ice Hockey ?
20:31:24 rokchik: not till the winter
20:31:40 Andrew Cockburn: Isn;t that next week where you are ??
20:31:42 rokchik: no baseball this summer either...still a bit of a problem
20:31:44 rokchik: LOL
20:32:00 Sircraigery: brb, reading this lesson
20:32:09 rokchik: Actually I think we've entered into Monsoon season..it's pis*ing down rain here
20:32:10 Andrew Cockburn: Jolly good
20:32:15 Andrew Cockburn: Nice ...
20:32:27 Andrew Cockburn: So what's the new lesson about Muris?
20:32:47 muris: ahh,some picking stuff
20:32:51 rokchik: Muris...I haven't check out your lesson yet...sorry
20:33:02 muris: few arpeggion at 5 strings
20:33:06 muris: all alternate
20:33:10 muris: stuff like that
20:33:23 Gen: cool
20:33:24 Andrew Cockburn: Aha - we'll show those sweepers !!!
20:33:25 muris: no prob rok
20:33:28 Andrew Cockburn: Sounds great
20:33:29 muris: take your time
20:33:40 muris: it'll be here till the end of time
20:33:41 muris: lol
20:33:50 Andrew Cockburn: Hey guys - I'm writing a lesson tomorrow - any ideas what I should do next?
20:33:55 rokchik: I've been jumping around lately..can't seem to get focused
20:34:23 muris: don't know for sure Andrew
20:34:25 rokchik: but loving Gabriels rocker riff right now...very Tom Morello..I likey alot
20:34:44 muris: I still think that guys have wrong point of view for modes
20:34:45 Andrew Cockburn: Yes I like the way Gab breaks stuff down into stylistic basics
20:35:03 Andrew Cockburn: muris what do you mean?
20:35:13 Sircraigery: maybe something on combining scales? i saw kris's lesson on it, and it was a good base, but wouldn't a bit more info, or examples ya know?
20:35:17 Andrew Cockburn: Modes are always interesting to write about
20:35:36 rokchik: I agree Andrew...I have some stuff writen down that I'd like to learn but I have it all in my notebook at work
20:35:39 muris: well,many will say,dorian is on 2th degree of something,lydian on 4th degree etc
20:35:55 muris: longer way I think
20:36:06 Andrew Cockburn: YEs, I am trying to dispell that myth - it has a lot do do with the way modes are taught I think
20:36:18 Andrew Cockburn: I took a lightly different approach in my modes lesson
20:36:20 muris: for sure
20:36:27 muris: i was though that way at school
20:36:34 rokchik: I haven't got to modes yet...still at the circle of fifths
20:36:36 muris: no point of it I guess
20:36:37 Andrew Cockburn: Me too - never understood it until recently
20:36:58 muris: modes are quite simple
20:36:58 Andrew Cockburn: degrees of the scale is a way to generate modes but it is not what they are
20:37:10 muris: correct
20:37:17 Andrew Cockburn: They are shifteed intevals within a scale
20:37:27 Andrew Cockburn: but you choose them by cycling threough
20:37:39 muris: yeah
20:37:53 Andrew Cockburn: So people always compare C major with D dorian and don;t get it
20:37:57 rokchik: going over my head and under my feet now Andrew...LOL
20:38:00 Andrew Cockburn: when they shouild compare c maj and c dorian
20:38:03 muris: good thing shall be to make groups of major and minor modes
20:38:09 muris: maybe you did it before
20:38:12 Andrew Cockburn: Yes, that's a good pattern
20:38:17 muris: sorry if I missed topic
20:38:27 Andrew Cockburn: No, I did one lesson so far
20:38:36 Andrew Cockburn: on moded - plus a lesson on modal pemtatonics
20:38:44 muris: cool
20:38:49 Sircraigery: if anyone knows the binary counting, that's kinda how i think of the modes, like a bit-shift right or left lol
20:39:02 Andrew Cockburn: lol - thats a really good way to think of it actuakky
20:39:03 Sircraigery: is that right?
20:39:12 Andrew Cockburn: its a great image, I know whatr you mean
20:39:16 Andrew Cockburn: as a coimputer guy
20:39:18 muris: and just point at note difference
20:39:25 Sircraigery: electronics tech
20:39:30 muris: beetween major/minor and mode
20:39:42 muris: one note
20:39:48 Andrew Cockburn: Yeah, I like that approach
20:40:06 muris: accept locrian
20:40:09 Andrew Cockburn: Like Lydian = Major with #4, Dorian = Minor + #6
20:40:19 muris: but no help of it anyhow
20:40:20 Andrew Cockburn: Yes, Locrian is really difficult
20:40:34 Gen: hey fmx
20:40:39 FmX: hey people
20:40:41 Sircraigery: yeah i dn't know all of them, i just read it over a bit to get the terms good, before i get going on remembering everything
20:40:44 rokchik: Hey FmX
20:40:45 muris: can't ude it as home mode
20:40:48 muris: hey fmx
20:40:54 Andrew Cockburn: Muris - I thnk I even put that in a table in my lesson, but I don;t rememebr exactly
20:41:09 rokchik: Did you learn " Good Riddance " after...FmX
20:41:10 muris: yeah might be
20:41:16 muris: i was reading it
20:41:21 FmX: hehe yea I did actually
20:41:22 muris: long lesson as well
20:41:27 rokchik: cool
20:41:27 muris: maybe I missed it
20:41:37 Andrew Cockburn: YEah, wanted to get the facts across
20:41:50 muris: sure
20:42:10 muris: but just copy that table few times
20:42:17 rokchik: Andrew I love your theory lesson...I'm sure your sick of me saying that but they are so well written and easy to understand
20:42:20 muris: ctrl D
20:42:40 Andrew Cockburn: Rokchik, I will never tire of you telling me that
20:42:45 Andrew Cockburn: I am a monster of vanity!
20:42:46 rokchik: lol
20:42:48 Sircraigery: you know what i would like to make? a beginners guitar with the notes written on the top of the neck (where the "player's view" dots are)
20:42:55 Sircraigery: not on the face of the neck
20:42:59 muris: hehehe
20:43:14 Sircraigery: just for scale keys
20:44:43 Andrew Cockburn: You know Muris, I might write a modes part 2 as an alternative view and emphasize the major minor thing, thats a great way to understand their tonalities beter
20:44:45 muris: why not
20:44:47 Sircraigery: no one likes it?
20:45:04 muris: hell yeah Andrew
20:45:24 muris: must get this mistery solved at once
20:45:39 Andrew Cockburn: Yep - GMC will be the source of all Modal understanding!
20:45:52 muris: correct
20:46:09 Sircraigery: you know what i would love a lesson on? learning how to tune by ear. there has got to be a way that someone with perfect pitch visualizes the note...like how they ring? or at least i do that when i'm listening
20:46:17 Andrew Cockburn: On the subject of modes, I am really enjoying Dave Wallimans modal study lessons
20:46:23 Sircraigery: maybe i'm just on crack haha
20:46:28 muris: Sir,that's hard to make a lesson for it
20:46:40 muris: ear needs practicing
20:46:41 rokchik: Sircraigery...I think that's something that will come with time
20:46:48 Andrew Cockburn: Once you get the first note it is easy to do but still hard to explain!
20:46:53 muris: to remember sound of open strings
20:47:00 Andrew Cockburn: Yes, experience is the best help
20:47:18 rokchik: I could never tune before without a tuner...but now I can Drop D and back to standard no problem
20:47:18 Sircraigery: yeah, i can do it after the first string, but sometimes i'm way off on the first string and think it's bang on haha
20:47:34 muris: ahh
20:47:43 Sircraigery: like if i'm re-stringing or something
20:47:52 muris: you're talking about absolut pitch?
20:47:55 rokchik: And I can tune the other strings pretty close...still need to play with it a bit but I'm getting there
20:48:50 rokchik: again I think it's just something that will come with time and practice
20:49:04 Sircraigery: oh here's a good one, when tuning with harmonics, which fret do you go on for strings 2,3?
20:49:22 Sircraigery: i get lost there haha, nothing sounds right between the two of them
20:49:22 muris: no frets for that
20:49:40 muris: they are in major 3th interval
20:49:49 muris: not 4th like rest ot them
20:50:09 Andrew Cockburn: Guitar would be veyry logical if they hadn;t thrown that in
20:50:17 rokchik: lol
20:50:30 muris: lol
20:50:33 Sircraigery: so instead of 5 & 7, i'd go 4 & 7?
20:50:33 muris: yeah
20:50:49 Andrew Cockburn: exceo there are no harmonics there
20:50:51 muris: not really
20:50:57 Sircraigery: dammit haha
20:50:59 Andrew Cockburn: and if they were they would be wrong
20:51:08 muris: but you shall use 4 fret on G and open B
20:51:11 muris: good tho
20:51:44 Andrew Cockburn: You can do 12th on the 2nd and 7th on the 6th
20:51:51 muris: but hey
20:51:54 Andrew Cockburn: an 12th on 1st and 6th
20:52:03 muris: 5th on B and 4th on G
20:52:08 muris: same note
20:52:26 muris: higher that on rest of the strings
20:52:30 Sircraigery: yeah, the difference when learing it in harmonic form is alot easier hear
20:52:38 Andrew Cockburn: Good one Muris
20:52:50 muris:
20:53:22 muris: it's hard to get that harmonics on accoustic guitar tho
20:53:34 muris: those
20:53:47 muris: but on electric it's just fine
20:54:05 Sircraigery: soft left hand, and hard right hand lol
20:54:18 muris: lol
20:54:19 muris: way to go
20:54:32 Sircraigery: i learned on acoustic, so i'm good to go there
20:54:42 rokchik: I can't do artificial harmonics worth poop...sorry at second part of Gabriels lesson
20:54:44 Sircraigery: wel...started learning
20:54:45 muris: great!!
20:55:16 Andrew Cockburn: I ws useless at them for years, then sometyhing clicked and I can do them up the wazoo now
20:55:37 Andrew Cockburn: breakthrough for me was chinging to a heavier pick and differebt grip
20:55:40 Sircraigery: same with pinched harmonics, i can let those rip good
20:56:01 rokchik: I C...
20:56:02 Sircraigery: i find where you do it on the guitar changes the pitch alot
20:56:10 muris: must pick the right place on string
20:56:25 rokchik: That's my problem
20:56:26 Andrew Cockburn: yes - I pick different places for a 5th or octave depending on what I am playing
20:56:30 muris: small miss and no scream
20:56:36 Andrew Cockburn:
20:56:42 Sircraigery: i pick right at the right side of the neck humbucker, works best for me there
20:56:46 rokchik: That's what Im getting...no scream
20:57:06 muris: hmm
20:57:26 rokchik: oh just did it...hurray
20:57:27 Sircraigery: my problem was trying too hard at it for a while, and once i didn't think about it they come naturally
20:57:37 muris: each note played with left hand needs different spots for it
20:57:38 Sircraigery: aka...holding my thumb there too long
20:57:42 rokchik: back to poop...so close yet so far
20:58:05 muris: great rok!!
20:58:13 Andrew Cockburn: yay!
20:58:26 Andrew Cockburn: (for one at least!)
20:58:30 muris: you're some distortion there or?
20:58:32 rokchik: lol
20:58:41 Sircraigery: you'll love distortion 1000x more once you get them totally down lol
20:59:00 rokchik: I have the distortion on
20:59:06 Andrew Cockburn: treble up?
20:59:06 muris: yeah
20:59:15 Andrew Cockburn: Try either pickup
20:59:19 muris: easier with it and best for it tho
20:59:20 rokchik: not alot
20:59:32 rokchik: turned up now though
20:59:41 Andrew Cockburn: Well AH's are hogh pitched do treble helps them a lot
20:59:53 Sircraigery: so just a recap on scales, the degree is the # of step? ex, 5th degreee of the "alphabet scale" if there was such a thing haha, would be E?
21:00:08 Sircraigery: staring on a
21:00:09 Andrew Cockburn: Almost
21:00:20 Andrew Cockburn: Actually yes
21:00:26 Sircraigery: sweet
21:00:31 Andrew Cockburn: but I meant to say you have to take sharps and flats into account
21:00:47 rokchik: cool...i'll keep plugging away...I have the firts part of the lesson down cold and most of the second just that harmonic giving my grief
21:01:04 muris: go for it rok!
21:01:13 Sircraigery: yeah, i was just making the alphabet scale as a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i...et
21:01:32 Sircraigery: cool, lots of theory sinking in
21:01:33 muris: you got it right
21:01:37 Andrew Cockburn: Wow, you just invented some new note
21:01:52 muris: lol
21:01:57 muris: didnt see i
21:01:58 Sircraigery: yeah...h is kinda my trademark haha

21:02:33 rokchik: I think i just played it...didn't sound good...LOL
21:02:49 Andrew Cockburn: LOL - you are trying for harmonics and geting h's and i's
21:03:01 Sircraigery: i'm from alberta, canada
21:03:10 muris: cool

21:04:47 muris: lol
21:04:53 Andrew Cockburn: lol so B is H but Bb is Bb ?
21:04:56 muris: it's confusing to me too
21:04:58 muris: I mean
21:05:02 Sircraigery: perfect!
21:05:25 muris: when I sapek to my folks I use H as B and B as Bb
21:05:35 muris: but here must switch to B is B
21:05:38 rokchik: the H I played didn't sound like any B I ever heard...LOL
21:05:43 Andrew Cockburn: lol
21:05:44 muris: and Bb is Bb
21:05:52 Andrew Cockburn: muris you must be smarter than the rest of usd then

21:10:58 Sircraigery: i can play master of puppets (sounds good), and that's as hard as i get
21:10:59 Andrew Cockburn: I poted a couple of things on the uploads board - check out Floydian Dreams and Remwembering Amanda
21:11:14 Sircraigery: well, the main parts anyways, solo's scare me
21:11:36 Sircraigery: i'll check them out
21:11:39 rokchik: I agree sircraigery...I sorta stay away from most solos
21:12:03 Andrew Cockburn: that's where the real funis!
21:12:06 Sircraigery: i'm just not confident in my timing to do solo's
21:12:25 Andrew Cockburn: You have to kind of go through timing and out the other side
21:12:29 Sircraigery: like doing thing's double time, quarter time etc..
21:12:38 rokchik: I know...but I usually mess up get frustrated and put the guitar down
21:13:10 rokchik: I'll wait until my speed and acuracy is better...I do some solos but nothing overly tuff.
21:13:44 Sircraigery: i do solo's from like....silverchair haha they are easy but i like them
21:13:52 Sircraigery: just for practice
21:13:55 rokchik: The solo in About a Girl by Nirvana is about my speed right now..LOL Although I'm getting better at the Tom Morello stuff
21:14:07 muris: Andrew,you have some videos of your plaing?
