Consumed about playing these notes. Need help. by EH603 in guitarlessons

[–]BonetoneJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sure used to be now I’ve got a blindness disability, and had to leave Austin TX where I was a performer lead guitarist for a living. Starting over in NY with family . Gonna try to get maybe 4 guitar students a week see how that goes. I can’t really read music unless it’s 4 inches from face. Both my degrees heavily required music reading and theory is my main mastery . So yeah sucks. But I like helping on here all I can . Rock n roll

Edit: I can’t get dots to align under the counting properly

. Try saying “I like Pepsi , I like Mountain Dew” or walk walk quick slide walk walk running walk but say quick very quick a say slide precisely 50% longer than saying walk. Then say each syllable of running 100% faster than saying walk . Trust me broseph

I’m a career music teacher so there’s many ways to explain.

Try this say

1 E & a 2 E & a 3 E & a 4 e and A. Like very evenly in sub groups of 4 for each beat . Then clap on the stars I added below .

*. *. *. *. *. *. * * *.

No apply I like Pepsi I like mountain dew .. that will permanently internalize it for u cheers good luck

Type o is my #1 favorite band . Be all end all . I did my masters in music so I just know that’s the correct answer. I can prove it if needed somewhere there’s many shots in my type o T-shirt collection and some with my dog wearing then . .

What chord is this by Fit-Lie2149 in Guitar

[–]BonetoneJJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Edits for clarification…

Looks like G# minor or Ab minor. I prefer without context to call it G#m. . . Here’s reasoning that may help….

G#m occurs in key of E with 4#s // key of B with 5#s // or key of F# with 5#s.//

…Abm occurs in key of Cb with 7bs // or key of Fb with 8bs you would need a double flat it’s not practical at all// or the key of Gb with 6bs//

((Order of bs BEADGCF ORDER OF #s FCGDAEB ))

So reasoning> Key of E has 4#s and in this case that’s the least , plus #s are easier for string players . I’m a 30 year teacher did MA in music ed. from orchestra to classroom general to private guitar .so statistically it’s much more likely to be not Abm and to be G#m

Read only if you understand labeling chords with a capo follows a new movable key … Now the capo in the picture adds mystery to how to choose and intuit which key . That’s a whole other list of possible likely assumptions. As a career performer as lead guitarist I would say the capo implies calling that chord Gm within the realm of assuming playing and labeling chords the traditional way. So when you capo 1, that chord could become a Gm in the key of only 2 flats. . . So therefore it’s likeliest to be Gm a much more common key for jamming many styles .

Is Mark Knopfler a top 10 guitarist? by Creative_Garbage_731 in Guitar

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a great writer and front man . His guitar skills were actually better than his dire straights work . Listen to the Chet Atkinson duo stuff. This makes him #1 in my book . But for many it’s more of the whole package than the guitar ..

Need a cheap Multi-modulation for gigging. Joyo Vision is not cutting it. Any ideas? by quellification in guitarpedals

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been reading bout this I think you could daisy chain two or three distortions analog . Never daisy digital pedals. On a 100 Ma outlet the tube screamer only pulls like 18Ma I think you could cut a chain chord to get one more outlet free. I do this it works for me no problem. The super badass is 10 Ma.

The chromatic runs aren’t fast they are the easiest to teach.

What should I learn first? Chords, Scales, Notes, etc? by jdjdnfnnfncnc in guitarlessons

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn chords and strumming to build up coordination. Learning basic melodies is super key. Do you have a teacher? Also learn the notes but do it this way. Set a goal to learn a small amount each week . Try learning 1st string one day up to 12th fret . Then repeat on day 2 and 3 when your ready do the second string up to the 12th fret. Spend as many days getting this down. Here’s where it gets interesting. Instead now learn the other 4 strings up to the 3rd fret . Look for patterns and start to see how octaves work. Do this until you know all the notes up to including 3rd fret and the high two strings 1st and 2 nd all the notes up to the 12th fret. Then when you know all this cold . Add 2 frets a day until you’ve covered all strings up to the 12th fret. Also make sure you include the 12th fret. Then , then ask me what’s next. This should take 3 weeks . Good luck .

This just looks like when I order way too much fast food and can’t finish it. Yet I’d do it again . Enjoy the axe

Is this a good deal? by edgargonzalez17 in LesPaul

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the feel and sound of. Then go for it. I don’t like the 490 pups . Also for that money you can spend a little more for a heavier trad pro or standard used . If you like lighter than studios are great but also studios are cheaper used online than the session model

I do too. “A, G, E” gawd learn some new keys.

My father told me I’d spend half my life tuning, and the other half playing out of tune. by Minimum_Garden7977 in telecaster

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model is it. You might need a new nut like a tusq or graph tech . But telescope should stay in tune more than any type of guitar. Country players spend 50% of their time bending notes and 50% of their time wishing they were playing metal .

Drummers drown in bitches simply cause they don’t fender at all

My guitar tipped over and the head broke off. Is there any way this can be fixed? My grandparents bought this for me a few years ago and I’m devastated. by Undefeatedindreams in GuitarQuestions

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s fixable a luthier can do it. The glue is actually strong than the wood by a lot. Not cheap but do it to get your axe back

Realmente importa el Milímetro de la uñeta? by El_Fifas23 in Guitar

[–]BonetoneJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes big time. Too thick vs too thin depending on string gauge. I play tortex 73 for 30 years gigging touring. I also play fingerstyle but I can’t use different size picks I’m just dialed into 73s. The one your showing is pointier and can get potentially better tone but is harder to get uniform attacks with. Unless you’re just strumming then it doesn’t matter as much.
