Ok so I've had this thing bugging me for a very long time: i can improvise a solo to almost any rhythm and have feeling and emotion and all that good stuff, but when i try to compose a rhythm, I get stuck. For example I come up with a rhythm and do not know how to transition onto a next part...

Not sure if this is the right section, but how do you make music? -What's your creative process like?Do you write the lyrics first, then record guitars? Or do you tinker around the guitars and find a good riff then build off that? Or do you have a specific emotion you want to get out in...

Sorry if this has been posted. Has anyone seen this? Wow. Check it out: Im guessing the guitarist or someone from coldplay is influenced by satch and they subconsciously took that melody. Hmmm. or Extreme coincidence. EDIT: By the way, heres a full remixed version:

I am looking for some more interesting ways to change between keys - especially ones that are far apart. I know there are TONS of ways and I've seen other bands do some really cool stuff, but what I generally do I feel is pretty basic and I'd love to learn a few tricks from people who know a lot...

Yeah, I know "alternative" isn't the best word to describe these guys, but what the hell.

I can't get that chord progression from "out of the sunrise" out of my head. It is on Satch's new album. So I decided to make a backing track "borrowing" satch's chord progression and see if I could come up with a tune. I have 2 verses and a chorus and need to work on the solo next. Let me...

i've been playing for 8 months. Im 14 k. Currently im mastering my sweep but really problem when i move it upwards.. For Alternate Picks i can play insanely fast on 1 string when i move to another it just slows down. On tapping i dont know what to do ; i only can do the eruption tapping (how to...

I have an issue that I am hoping that someone here on Jemsite will be able to help me with or point me in the right direction at least. I will do my best to keep it as brief as possible. Up until the end of March 2008, I was in a local cover band (guitar) that also dabbled in originals. We...

Some time ago I saw a sentence which uses the first letter of each mode as a way to remember the order. I can't think of what it is... can someone remind me? I had to make up my own... I (Ionian) Don't (Dorian) Play (Phrygian) Like (Lydian) Mike Mixolydian And (Aolian) Larry (Locrian) LOL :)...

Hi all, Ive been reading through a few posts on here and am inspired to find both a very friendly atmosphere towards eachothers ideas and problems but also an extremely high level of knowledge and understanding. On considering this, I remember a problem that I encountered some years ago when...

Anyone knows a good site for learning ways to run through scales and modes and good chord progression ?

Well, I just picked up Paul Gilbert's new album and I really like it. I actually sat in my car when I got home until I made it through the entire album. Nice to have an entirely instrumental album from Paul. I have always been impressed by his fret board prowess and it is fun to see him...

Hello! Well remember those cool days when you realised you can play B Harmonic Minor over E Harmonic Minor?? Look no further because the uber cool Harmonic Minor scale has more to offer us still.. For too long people only used it sound like Bach or Yngwie without understanding why back in the...

If you can watch this whole video, you're a bigger man than i am. Funny thing is. I had this on a 45 back in the day. Guys anywhere near my age and up will remember disco, polyester, Saturday Night Fever.... You younger guys will be wondering what the heck kind of drugs everyone was on back...

Here's a cool one for you. I was writing a Concerto for Cello and Violin in E Harmonic Minor (as you do) and I wanted the melody in the 3rd movement to really lift above the Cello part which was emphasing a chord sequence thus: E Minor, Gb Diminished B Major Obviously the nice Violin part was...

Hey guys, I have just realized I haven't really written any of my own music, I mean I can make my own solo's and bass lines. But I have trouble thinking of my own rhythm guitar lines to start, then my bass and drums will stem and then lead. I can play rhythm and I know chord structure pretty...

No......not me :rolleyes: Not seen this here before so thought i'd put it on!! Enjoy :D

Ok,,,,, I have tried everything,, but just can't seem to learn these things,, I need advice on any good books around especially ones with scales?? each & every scale detaileddd It's just so annoying,, been three years and am still at the same spot where i was when i started.

hi all i figured id post this as i read it on a normally reliable site apparently satchs new cd will be out on 1st of april? (april fools day?) and its called wait for it Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock? does this sound like BS to anyone else? 1st of april? anyway heres...
