How about them Packers !!! Did the Vikings even show up?
Bet Russell's feeling better tonight..... kinda like Seattle after a home game.
YUP!! 
Good tune kind of Leon Redbone feel 
funny cartoon I like the "Tone deaf little weasel what's that chord your butchering"
I can't admit to understanding anything - but like Tenement Funster I am learning something. Russell, I watched your link to Corey Hunter, my eyes crossed and my fingers cramped just watchin the dude. Maybe someday I'll understand a thimble full of it. As TF said, "but it's progress".
I was equally impressed what I liked about the video is he slows it down and breaks it all down to the essence and not just shows off I am happy to say I did learn something from watching even if it is only a thimble its a start.
I have to agree that some of this if all a bit foreign. However ... just by forcing myself to read through the knowledgeable posts on theory (in this thread and others) it's less foreign than it once was. It might be in slo mo, but it's progress.
progress is what it's all about I googled up Phrygian and was amazed to find a guitarist who explained some things I was a little fuzzy on so it's never to late to learn plus he was really excellent on guitar! This is the dude and at no time do his fingers leave his hand LOL

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video might help explain it better so without further ado

Here's another idea.
From what I have read, each mod is limited to certain sections. So my question is; Does every mod have the ability to edit posts in every section? He/She could edit out most of the text and any links. Just leave a few words that mean nothing to anyone. Then when the mod responsible for that section logs on, they can delete it.
No only in the forums they are assigned to only Roger or Per can do that
C# minor also contains a d# in the second scale degree. So you'd play c# Phrygian/ e mixo both of which are enharmonic with a major
I understand most of it but darn you sure say it nice thanks!
Russell can you explain which notes in an e major scale make a d major chord?
just offhand F# and A are the only notes but I never said a E major scale could be played over a D chord my suggestion was a C#minor scale could be riffed over the chords E D and A since the key of E contains a D# an E major scale wont work. I know your up on theory and I respect that I can only mention I have been playing lead guitar for over 50 years and I have learned a thing or two about which notes do or do not work.
I am not talking about chord changes. I'm talking about scale selection and the reason a minor doesn't work.
BGD not sure where your coming from on this my thinking is any scale has to jive with the progression the only scale in E that comes close is a C#minor or a variation which can be played over E D A changes and it dose work sorry to disagree
The song is in the key of E not A the changes in E are E D A if it were in the key of A it would be A G D repeated till the cows come home try singing the song with your changes if you want a good laugh they don't work
E mixolydian is the same thing as A major. Sooooo you're both right. It's more about how the notes are used...
The song is in E
"Wendy Witch Has Wonderful White Wavy Hair"
Never heard that before, Russell ... a fantastic way to remember the fundamentals!
I learned it from one of the guitar books I studied but it works
Let me ask this....why doesn't the A minor pentatonic work with that song? I'm trying to wrap my head around which scales work or don't work. Thanks.
the song is in E try C# minor
I've got a question about using the proper pentatonic scale with the song "Gloria" by Them/Van Morrison. Since the song uses the chords of A, D, & E I thought the A minor pentatonic scale would work for solos, but my friend pointed out that it's actually in the key of E (and not A). Is there an easy way to explain this? Thanks.
A plus D plus E does not equal key of A?
no any major chord triad is 1 3 5 the key of A major has 3 sharps F# C# G# this is based on a major scale construction the easiest way to explain is use the key of C it has no sharps or flats the C scale is C D E F G A B C just like the alphabet C major is C E G or 1 3 5 this is based on a major scale construction of steps or intervals 1 1 1/2 111 1/2 compare this with the above C scale another way is Whole Whole half Whole whole whole half step and easy way to remember is W W H WWW H or wendy witch has wonderful white wavy hair so this means in order to construct a A major scale you start with the root A B C D E F G A and use the formula A to B is a whole step B to C is a half step so it has to be a C# C# to D is a half step D To E is a whole step E to F is a half step so it has to be F# F# to G is a half step so it has to be G# and G # to A is a half step which compleats the A major scale A B C# D E F# G# A this formula works for every Major scale in any key
so it is A C# E not A D E if you want to make it minor flat the 3rd or A C E in the key of A
A minor scale in E is another thing E F# G A B C D# E this opens up a lot of possibilities of harmonic minor, melodic, natural minor scales
In a E major scale E F# G# A B C# D# E notice the G and C are # (the 3rd and 6th) in a minor scale there natural or flatted.

Congrats Hawks!
and Well Done Mr. Manning!!
I have a feeling if Payton had called heads the Seahawks would not have seen the ball
If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt when he hopped.
Alternately, if Denver's defense could have stopped Seattle, they would have seen the ball.
I didn't mean it in any derogatory sense both teams played there butts off considering the urgency Payton would have made use of the possession just as Russell Wilson did

It has been suggested
I know Jerome is happy today,Russell you and I are on the losing end.
It looks like I will have to send a letter to the Pack's coach GET SOME RECIEVING HELP!!!
If you can get it to work for you that is great, I myself went with a good 24 track recorder with all the goodies and it cuts CD's to boot and the reason being to much time spent getting all the free stuff to do what I wanted, but that's just me others may fair better. I just use Audacity to render a WAV soundtrack for videos.
The spamming is becoming all too common. The three current topics are all spam every morning. I guess we are doing everything we can to stop it.
Yes we are Pete and nobody likes it.
It would be great if admin would be able to charge them a fee for the advertising space, then maybe they would crawl back under their rock.
Not sure if it would be great do you really want a bunch of crap in the forums? I don't, almost each day I am deleting and banning multiple topics or reporting it for other moderators to deal with. I log on several times a day just to keep up
Man, bad day to be a Tampa Bay Bucaneer!
I don't think I've seen an NFL match-up that ugly before.
I stopped watching after halftime they pulled the starting QB out it was 40 something to nothing
Way to go Pete congrats very nice fiddle
Wow! the workmanship and the colors are gorgeous along with the hardware not sure about semi acoustic electrics tho maybe if I played it It would surprise me
