Thanks Gab
This is the link to the lesson. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Soloing-1/ Cheers Phil Update: I've just found This and from estuary I can see the TAB shouldn't have an E over each note because the notes themselves aren't actual eighth notes. Am I right or am I totally confused? Cheers Gab This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 16 2015, 04:54 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

No mate, those "E" letters refer to the note value, in this case the E reffers to Eight notes, but the addition of the word triplets behind it defines the notes that you are playing as Eight triplets. The E is not a note pitch, is just a reference to know the duration of the notes in tabs and it's added automatically when you export from guitar pro. So the tabs are exactly the same than what you are reading in the tabs.
There are the tabs references: Duration Legend --------------- W - whole H - half Q - quarter E - 8th S - 16th T - 32nd X - 64th . - note dotted |-n-| - n-tuplets Tablature Legend ---------------- L - tied note x - dead note g - grace note (n) - ghost note > - accentuded note NH - natural harmonic AH - artificial harmonic TH - tapped harmonic SH - semi harmonic PH - pitch harmonic h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend br - bendRelease pb - preBend pbr - preBendRelease brb - bendReleaseBend \n/ - tremolo bar dip \n - tremolo bar dive -/n - tremolo bar Release up /n\ - tremolo bar inverted dip /n - tremolo bar return -\n - tremolo bar Release down S - shift slide s - legato slide / - slide into from below or out of upwards \ - slide into from above or out of downwards ~ - vibrato W - wide vibrato tr - trill TP - tremolo picking T - tapping S - slap P - pop < - fade in ^ - brush up v - brush down -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab,
I did look at what the "E" meant but it confused me because it means "eighth note", I thought there can only be 8 eighth notes in a bar but ALL 12 notes are shown with an "E" above them. As far as I can understand with my limited theory knowledge, each note in the triplet can't be the same length as an eighth note would be in the same bar. I wouldn't have even questioned it if the "E" hadn't been there. THIS explained it but I was wondering if I was missing the point altogether. I love reading about music theory but it doesn't stick in my head very well. I think I read too much in one go and don't apply it to my playing. That's why I suggested the theory workshop Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Yeah, it can be confuse but that's how the software programs convert score to tabs... is it clear now?

Thanks for you help Gab,
I think I get it, the notes within the triplet aren't actual eighth notes but they have the "E" above them because they are eighth note triplets?

yes, that can happens but it's not what happens in the tabs from the lesson. I'm still wondering if the tabs are completely clear now...

Thanks mate,
The tab is fine, I fully understand. I just think it can mislead people that are trying to understand the theory. Mathematically each note of an eighth note triplet is a twelfth note because there are twelve equally spaced notes in the bar. I never had a problem knowing what I should be playing just understanding the theory and mathematics behind it When the TAB said that the notes were eighth notes I was saying "EH?" To give my brain a rest from the Darius solo and, because I worked late so didn't have much time I had my first go at the Shaman creativity workshop. I love these workshops even though my results are always very good, I still really enjoy them With one thing and another I'm struggling to get back into my routine. Got a Boss GT001 coming tomorrow and a new control surface that will work well in Reaper. The one I have doesn't work very well in Reaper as it has a dedicated DAW. It has some functionality but not full. I suppose this will all take time to learn too, PLUS I was just getting to grips with the basics of Reaper and they've gone and changed it all Cheers Gab This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 17 2015, 09:21 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hi Phil, yeah, I understand what confused you. I think that it's part of learning this "modern" language.
I'll check your work at the creativity workout. I think that every new recording is a success mate since you are connecting with your inner self. Keep working on the creativity tasks, without thinking too much, just feel and create. And congrats on your new purchase. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab,
I sold my Boss ME80 on eBay for £191 and the Boss GT001 was £161 and the control surface was £39 so not much outlay really and more user friendly for me. I'll probably try to use the Boss for effects and Amplitube for cab/speaker/mic emulation. So much to learn but I'm happy with my progress even though it's slow because I'm not just learning to play guitar, I'm learning Reaper; mixing; developing creativity; ear training and am a member of the most awesome site around with a great bunch of people. Oh yeah, my wife rocks too \m/ Happy days Cheers Gab This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 18 2015, 02:44 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hello Gab,
Ok, I am back on it I had a good session tonight, not perfect but good. I feel that I have gone back a few weeks on the Darius solo but I have to move forward now. I had a go at the timing lesson, I am ok at full speed up to bar 17 but once the triplets come in (bars 17-24) I can only manage 70% speed, and that's with GP5 to play along with. The backing track is even harder. I also struggle to remember the note sequence so have three sheets printed out and hanging from my shelf above my desk I'll try to get back into the Hives rhythm as soon as I can, it's just hard fitting it all in to an hour and a half.

Hi Phil, nice to see that you are getting back to track.
Please take your time to polish the assignments, and always remember to avoid fast tempos if you are not comfortable with them. I'd like to see a take on Darius solo in 7 days. Deal? -------------------- My lessons

Thank Gab,
7 days will be tricky as I am not home on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I will try for September 4th if that's ok? I have to say, the last few bars are proving very tricky to even get into my fingers even in a sloppy way. I'll try to get a video to you by then though, no matter how bad it is. Thanks for pushing me Gab, sometimes we all need a little nudge Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
