[QUOTE=The Winner;29438542]Even knowing how to read notes is a part of musical theory. If you don't know how to read notes, there's something wrong here. I also took a look at your band, it's pretty good.[/QUOTE] thanks but i quit that band yesterday actualy the singers girl freind was trying to be our manager and booking agent. chicks always ruin bands
Oh my God, I'm such a retard for saying this, but this thread led to me figuring out that guitar chords are just made by playing the notes of it on the strings. For some idiotic reason, I've thought for a whole year that it was just putting your fingers in random positions that make it sound like a chord. Feel free to box me, I actually feel dumb for this.

[QUOTE=spaceace1337;29440919]its just a fact that some songs are harder to play then others :l[/QUOTE] Not really, some people are able to play mad shit off the bat others take years and can't play shit. Either way it's besides the point, being a good musician in my eyes means being able to turn your hand to just about any style and to do decent improv. And he's right, your arrogance is fucking astounding, it has absolutely no place being in this sub forum, so get rid of the arrogance or fuck off.

If I were to start out learning an instrument, I would learn all that is known about playing it then go onto experimenting with it. That way, you evolve into a proper musician.

[QUOTE=AK'z;29441190]If I were to start out learning an instrument, I would learn all that is known about playing it then go onto experimenting with it. That way, you evolve into a proper musician.[/QUOTE] That's a noble idea, but I don't think there's real knowledge about playing. You just do it and practice. And you listen to the masters and try to reach their craftsmanship (i.e., their ability, not their style/ideas, although that helps, too). Maybe some tips to avoid beginner mistakes could help but it all comes down to practice and finding your own way to efficiently reach goals...
I don't even know what the word "chord" means
[QUOTE=Number-41;29397474]So when you play C E G B it's just random notes? If you want to refer to that group of notes in that order, you cannot say CMaj7, you have to say 'that random group of notes that coincidentially would sound like a CMaj7 chord if you played them all together'?...[/QUOTE] An arpeggio of cmaj7 Not the chord though. [editline]26th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=SilverDragon619;29444797]I don't even know what the word "chord" means[/QUOTE] At least three notes that are sounded together
Spaceace, a song isn't hard to everyone. For you, the stuff you learned may be hard. However, whether a song is hard or easy is subjective.
