CAA Rules wrote:While CAA has historically allowed some member-organized clubs on the boards, we tend to be wary of them in the very least because it toes the line on unneccessary division and cliques within a site that strives to bring fellow believers together. However, should you like to propose a club, the following steps must be taken:
1. You MUST PM a staffer with your proposal BEFORE starting a thread about it.
2. In your proposal, state the general purpose of the club, club activities/topics, plans you have for the club, and reasons why you feel CAA needs this club.
3. Once you have approval, you may follow the direction of the staffer involved to create your club thread and carry on. However, if at any time the staff feels a club is no longer necessary, fruitful, or fulfilling its purpose we reserve the right to edit or disband the club.
Ok ok ok. I got shot down completely. Ouch. Fried. Crashed. Burned. That was brutal. lol fail. Nevermind that then. haha... ouch.

My teacher has always told me to listen to the bass line when I'm figuring out a song if I'm having trouble hearing how it goes from the guitar. If you can hear where the bass is going, you know where the guitar is going.
Oh ok thanks! That's quite helpful!LadyRushia (post: 1419319) wrote:TG, as far as knowing when to take a lead in a song, the best way to start practicing that is just having some rhythm part play behind you while you play around within the scales. A good place to start is with a 12 bar blues progression in the key of A. You can play your A minor pentatonic scale over that.

Quite appropriate about the A minor pentatonic and lead soloing to TG, since I just finished those tutorials. I included a Blues scale applications vid with some Ideas you could use if you want some licks to add to your repertoire. Pretty simple standard blues runs that you can play without thinking about.

E-0
B-3
G-2
D-3
A-0
E-1
It contains the notes:F, A, F, A, D, and E. E makes it F maj7 while D makes it 6. I'm not sure if it's called Fmaj7-6, but that's the only way I could think of it.

I just had to be really clear on the issue before it turned into something like I stated. No one is in trouble or anything and this thread won't be locked. I'm also not angry with anyone. I know you didn't intend on creating a clique or anything like that when you made the thread, but the frank truth of the matter is that there's huge potential for people to see it that way anyway and if this thread acts like a club and all that, it's gonna seep out in the way we talk about it to others whether we mean to or not. The CAA staff is really trying to avoid that as much as possible. We already have enough issues with people feeling like they're not included here on the site, so we don't need more reasons for that to happen. Please don't be hard on yourself. In retrospect, I could've been gentler with my post. That's something I still need to work on. . .finding the balance between too much and people not taking me seriously at all. Anyway, this thread can still be just as active and engaging even if it's not a club.
No Problem. Don't worry about it. You were doing your job well and thoroughly. What is the cost of one person's feelings compared to a giant factionalist issue on an entire website? Yeah, I got it.
This gives me an idea guys. What if we encourage people who wanna learn guitar/bass to "join". We can help them learn through the basics, encourage them to keep going, and maybe make some tutorial vids for them. What do you guys think?
I think it'll help to help others to not feel left out if they want to be a part of this thread. =)

Hey hey dude chill. If it didn't help you, that's cool, but no need to go dissin people. If you want singing help... good luck finding it on a guitar thread. lol. You should probably go make a new thread. Jeez some people... spell things properly too. But before you run away, what didn't help you about the vids? Were they not simple enough? I'm pretty sure I remember asking you for help playing though... Huh. Some people.
Anyways, I really like that idea, TG. Feel free to make Changes, Lady Rushia. For now, I think we can call it Guitarist's Thread: Discussion and Help for all players or something.
Strafe (post: 1419453) wrote:I think unless it's avant garde, deconstructionist stuff that completely acts outside of musical convention, the bass will play within the same chords that the entire song is in. Chord, not note. That's what progression means. Of course, Avant Garde is... interesting... I guess?
Then I'll take it seriously, and I'll forgive you.

Okay, within the same chord then. It's not quite what seems implied with the original wording...
For instance, in this song, the bass goes all over the place, but the only reason you can tell it's within the same chord as the guitar is playing is because it doesn't sound wrong or avant garde.

Favorite Guitarist(s): Eh... none, really. Other than friends that play guitar or something, just because I like listening to them play. Haha
Dream Gear: Like I've said, no idea =P
Last thing you were playing: How He Loves Us. I quit because my voice is out today and I was annoying myself...
Other/ About me: I also took piano lessons for 7 years, and I plan on learning bass and drums eventually. I love music, and my main goal is to glorify God... and rock everyone's face off in the process
Strafe (post: 1419574) wrote:Aight. No problem dude. I just didn't know what you meant. As for vocal help, I myself am still learning as well, and I'm not too sure about giving advice quite yet. I sing lead voxx, but that's because I don't know any good singers. But I could give some advice for singing and playing guitar at the same time, which I think I can explain pretty well. And if you want more difficult lessons, I can make those too. I think I could explain like Legato or something.
That's a pretty common bassline in the key. I can tell what the progression is, but that's because I'm a guitarist I guess. The guitar and bass will play in the same key, and usually either one of them will play the tonic note, either in a chord or a line. That's what makes it feel natural, or un wrong sounding. The key is playing a lot to everything, every style you can think of so that you get a feel for everything.
Alright, Thanks LadyRushia! But yup, school is top priority. And I really want us to change our title, because typing NSOGCOCAA is now taboo, and otherwise annoying.
So... uh... how are we going to find guitarists to join the thread?
