D -----------4-6-7
A ----4-5-7-------
E 5-7-------------

This is A maj bar any silly mistakes by me.

The 5th is the fifth note in the scale, so its an E in this case, the 7th fret on the A string.

The 7th is the 7th note in the scale, so its a G# in this case, the 6th fret on the A string.

5ths go down aswell, so an octave below the other 5th. This would be the open E string.

Does that help? I've only just started theory myself![/quote]


Oooh I think I get it.

Dear lord.. spent 5-6 years playing bass... and one afternoon on theory.. oops!

Thanks

Can I ask what you guys mean by 5th and 7ths??

[quote name='parker_muse' post='266432' date='Aug 20 2008, 04:44 PM']Mixolydian scales are genius for funk! I find, when not slapping, using this scale just works amazingly. The notes are in places that you can do good fast runs and mix it up nicely. Don't you like pretty heavy music sarah? Try diminished scales. I think these are the ones with the flat 5ths? Am i right?

Just think of the opening riff to black sabbath by black sabbath. Thats the root, octave, then the flat 5th. It sound bloody terrifying.[/quote]
Yea. Hard rock/metal mainly

Yea yea I know. I'm feeling pretty thick right now. But then again I've never done any music theory..

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='266262' date='Aug 20 2008, 01:13 PM']I would say start with C major (no sharps or flats):

CDEFGABC

A minor (no sharps or flats)

ABCDEFGA

Then F Major

FGABbCDEF

Then D Minor

DEFGABbCD

Can you see a pattern developing yet?[/quote]
uh.... the B occasionally likes to be awkward and flat?

hang on.. how do I do a Bb when I haven't got a Bb on my fretboard???

Ok... I've printed off a few... (recommended by guitarist)
A natural minor
E minor pentatonic
A major
E minor blues..

those any good? lol
Am I right in thinking that the Root is just the position of the fretboard.. so if I played the 'a major' starting on the E it would then become an E major scale?

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='266233' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:48 PM']You realise, of course, that you have an additional responsibility to learn this stuff properly so you can cut the blokes out there that think that girls can't play music, especially the heavy stuff? [/quote]
Tell me about it....

Wow.. that's a big'un you've got there Mike.

...fair enough... but which bloody ones???

Paintwork for me... the more outlandish the better

You're popular alex lol

Cheddatom.. for some reason I thought you looked like your avatar. lol

*struggles to remember if she's posted on this thread before..*
Oh well.. if I have another one won't hurt.

When playing live... would you rather stand still and be more accurate (but less interesting to look at from the crowd) or be lively and energetic and a crowdpleaser but in turn sacrifice your accuracy?

In other words... what song do you ALWAYS mess up.. regardless of how much you practice it....
For me it's Incubus Wish you were here.... it's becoming a bit of a band joke now!!!

I do a mix of both, as I use my thumb to mute my bottom B.

My first gig ever, am I bricking it? Heeeeell no! Can't wait! Come see us and say hi!

£4 on the door, doors 8pm. 18+ only.

My amp is called Laney
