I've heard it said with respect to music theory that only by knowing all the rules can you be able to break them.
It is easy to get a in rut with using only pure modal scales with your songwriting. Now, playing within the rules can allow you to create some very beautiful and harmonious music, but in recent years I've come to learn that it is when the rules are broken that some amazing and tasty sounds can happen.
Chromatics are a good example of this. Consider for a moment dorian and natural minor. The 5th and 7ths are the same, but the 6ths differ between the two. In natural m...

Somewhere along the way in our development as guitar players, we start to get the idea that it would be a good idea if we learned some of those things called scales. If we are new to the guitar, and new to music, we are probably not even quite sure exactly what a scale actually is, which certainly adds to the aura of mystery that begins to surround the subject.
The next thing that happens, as we continue along in our development, is that we begin to get the unsettling impression that there seems to be an awful lot of those things called scales. In fact, there seems to be hundreds of them. W...

I once bought myself a Low Flute, also known as a Low D Whistle. It was amazing for me. I fell in love with the enchanting warm embrace of its low and powerful notes. Unfortunately I left it to my ex girlfriend kind of by mistake. It still resides in an old stone Italian trullo in south Puglia.
But, I found a shop locally to me that is selling them. Well its got one in stock so I reserved it. The one I reserved incidently is also tuneable.
They cost about £70 or about $140.
I've saved my pennies and now can get back in touch with one once more. I am very excited and looking forward to...

Hi all
I am conducting some general research into guitar lessons and am very interested to hear from anyone who has had formal lessons with a teacher, be it privately or at an institution or university.
If anyone could take the time to address some questions that would be great:
What did you like about your lessons?
What did you dislike about your lessons?
What was the frequency and duration of your lessons?
Why did you stop?
How long did you have lessons with that particular teacher?
Any other comments welcome....
Thanks

Hi,
I have recently started a website with jam tracks for guitarists and thought the regulars on this forum might be interested in taking a look.
You can find it at www.JamTracksForGuitar.com
I currently have collections dedicated to the modes of the major scale, odd time signatures, drums-only jam tracks and metal/hard rock riffs - all in various modern styles and broadcast quality production.
Let me know what you think. I am also taking video submissions of guitarist (or any other instrumentalist for that matter) jamming along to the tracks to feature on the site and my YouTube cha...

hi.
i'm using FL studio 8 (PC audio/midi sequencer). in its piano roll, there is an option called (flip); to flip a melody horizontally (retrograde), or vertically (inversion), so far so good.
But the question is: there is an option under (retrograde) pointing to (preserve start times) which, as a result, doesn't provide an exact mirror of the original melody. So, is there two type of retrograde; with/without (preserving start times)?
P.S. the above 2 type- retrograde option is seen in many other sequencers too, like (Magix).

The Bad Plus
Alt-Rock Vocalist Wendy Lewis Joins The Progressive Jazz Trio On For All I Care
For the better part of a decade, the progressive jazz trio known as The Bad Plus have been stirring up a musical stew that defies easy description. Drawing on sources as diverse as classical, jazz, rock, pop and beyond, they have created a singular aesthetic that forces even the most skeptical listener to rethink the commonly held notions of what differentiates one style of music from another.
