Re: alternate tuning (7 replies, posted in Music theory)
There are several alternate tunings one is open D that requires dropping the low E string a whole step to D I use this in several of my songs (Aleta for one) you have to finger the G chord by placing a finger on the 5th fret the rest remain the same,another one is DADGAG and no Roger alternate tunings are not entirely based on chords its a way of expressing modal moods or themes. these are some ![]()

Re: I want to record some covers (50 replies, posted in Recording)
Pete a video cam will do in a pinch but the problem I have is the lyrics dont match with the chords its kind of delayed so I dont use one if you have a digital camera you could shoot a video and download a converter to change the format from MOV or AVI to WMV and then upload it WMV is the easiest and fewest megabytes a free program is anyvideoconverter it works great I have used it for over ten years it has a beg prompt but you dont need to upgrade so you can ignore it otherwise pickup a video cam and talk to someone who knows how to get the best vid out of it. good luck Russ ![]()

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
I was only trying to explain what to more learned individuals take for granted the relationship of V to 1 not cover the entire spectrum of all the scales his question was basic. ![]()
I know how the resolutions work, was just confused by your reasoning.
![]()
Limiting oneself to the V7-I resolutions only apply if you're working exclusively in the major scale. In the mixolydian scale, you also have a dominant 7th chord on the tonic chord. If you're playing around with the blues scale (b3 and b7) you also have a dominant 7 chord on the IV.

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
A picture is worth a thousand words look at the diagram and you will see how all the keys relate to each other(resolve) this is the cycle,clockwise its the cycle of 4ths counter clockwise its the cycle of 5ths.I hope this helps explain how chords relate ![]()

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
sorry if I confused you the original question was if C7 resolves to F what dose A7 resolve to and in this context C7 is the 5th step of F and A7 is the 5th step in D so F is the root of the key and A7 resolves to D or 5 to 1 all of the keys have the same formula and they all relate its either a cycle of 5ths or a cycle of 4ths it just depends on which direction you go.
I'm confused by your logic. c7 and F have nothing to do with the key of D in this context...maybe I'm just misunderstanding how you are thinking of this?

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
I would like to add there are several references to how a major scale is constructed in this forum it is based on intervals ( whole steps and half steps) I I I/2 1 1 1 1/2 or whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step whole step, half step C has no sharps or flats G has one(F#) sharp D has two sharps(F#and C#) A has 3 sharps (F#C#G#) etc... there are many references to all the keys with sharps and the order they appear as well as the flats ![]()

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
In the key of D, D is the 1 or root follow the scale there are two sharps in D F# and C# look at the D scale above the 4th step in the D scale is G as shown as I stated this can be applied to any key once you convert the sharps or flats in that key
Russel, what do you mean by 1 to 4 in the key of d?

Re: 7's (22 replies, posted in Music theory)
try and think of it as the musical alphabet an example would be the C scale
C D E F G A B C if you place a number under each letter it would be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
these numbers are called steps or intervals C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
C7 resolves to F or 1 to 4 in the key of D there are two sharps F# and C# so the D major scale is
D E F# G A B C# D so the ratio of 1 to 4 is D to G this is true for every key
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
it would be helpful to know a little theory on the sharps and flats in the major scales so you could apply this formula ![]()

Very cool stuff lilwing welcome back I used to go by the name acapo till I changed but I remember your posts and look forward to more of your artwork
LOL completely forgot I made a profile under than name... coincidentally my deviant art nickname. I mostly go by my "alias" (aka middle name) on internet stuffs now.
The drawings on this profile are mostly from last year, but I'll be (hopefully) uploading some new stuff soon. I'm starting to get brave and experiment with acrylic paints!

Re: hoarders (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I just cant find it in myself to get rid of old magazines or VHS tapes I still play thru all the games in the chess magazines some date back to the early sixties and I must have over 100 VHS tapes and I still watch them along with a mounting collection of DVDs.I do have recording equipment along with special effects that seldom get used only because I go thru periods of time where I cant compose(I'm in one now)but I still pick up the guitar and pick it I think I will sell my boss loop machine and ME-50 I seldom use them or trade them in on nice guitar most of my time is used studying chess and i have all the best books I need along with beautiful chess sets perhaps some nice clothes would be a good choice so I can throw out all the old outdated shirts so I guess I do hoard a bit ![]()
