The guitar string (thread)

buzz · Postby **buzz** » April 14th, 2009, 9:14 pm

aite

i think i've reached the stage where i need some practical professional training/pointers in guitar theory

more specifically in the department of scales

i need more "life" in my compositions and how to broaden my musical expressions

i've noticed that if i want to do this theroy thang properly i may have to start from scratch and rid myself of the attitude that everything can be learned/applied by ear

with that said

who could point me in the direction of a competent guitar teacher :?:

.

not :

someone who played in a pop rock final

or can cover a flurry od zeplin songs

or some ego freak that lashes epic lightning fast un-listenable sweeps

or who worships satriani/vai/slash for no good reason

or someone who just know a few chords and think that they are an accomplished guitarist :lol:

therefore

someone that knows the instrument... like many things in trini hard to find yes but still a good competent teacher

anyone ?

if you want a pro teacher, go to a music school.

Normandy used to have one some years back.

BUMP!!!

buzz, check ultimate guitar. Their lessons so well from nub to pro.

Anyone knows anyone locally with a black Kramer Imperial? I know there's at least one. I imported it.

Quad rails iymc. 4 single coil sized humbuckers paired off. Yep, EIGHT COILS!!! When I tune to C and ring out a chord All the jumbies would run outta Jumbo Gym. Anyways, it was big as fcuk and I couldn't sit and play it. I tried my best because it sounded so sweet and menacing, but eventually gave up and Gave Shane (AudioCon) to sell it for me. Anyone knows the lucky soul that bought this?

buzz · Postby **buzz** » May 7th, 2009, 10:15 pm

yeah got the gist of the theory thang now

just application *sigh*

you know what years of doing/playing the wrong way causes

buzz · Postby **buzz** » May 7th, 2009, 10:17 pm

yeah MG Man i'd give it a try

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » May 7th, 2009, 10:18 pm

lol
nuh man..........u jus gotta feel it............get some BB King and u good to go.......and if yuh gyul dump yuh even better.....inspiration for years :lol:

but seriously, creativity comes from within..........just try mixing up notes within a scale, and varying the tempo every few notes etc..........

Sky · Postby **Sky** » May 7th, 2009, 10:39 pm

^^ yup.

All the stuff you learned was just to fast track your creativity. Allow you to properly express yourself. It's like learning English properly and how to write to be able to express your opinions and emotions in a book/essay/whatever.

Another thing. All those songs you learned from tabs and din know wtf you were playing, revisit them. You'll feel like Neo lol. " SO THAS DE SCALE HAMMET WAS IN!!!"

Next. forget about tabs on the whole in the future. Learn everything by ear and your knowledge of the scales. This is the phase I'm in now. After a while you'll be able to speak through the guitar more and more fluently. Then we could properly Jam

I gave up on being in a band etc. I just wanna jam properly jed.

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » May 7th, 2009, 10:41 pm
