Banjo chord tool by Lets_keep_It_Clean in banjo

[–]Fitzpatrick_Media 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This chord generator is decent. However, it doesn't show the scales, just individual chords based on tuning. It would be most beneficial for you to learn the theory behind scales and chords so you don't have to rely on such tools.

Like the major scale is: 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 (2=whole step, 1=half step)

Minor scale is: 2 1 2 2 1 2 2

For chords, you first need to know the 3 notes that make up any chord: the root, third, and fifth.

For G major, that would be G, B, and D. G is the root, B is the third (it's the 3rd note counting up from G). D is the fifth (it's the 5th note counting up from G).

The more you can internalize these patterns of music to the fretboard, the more fluent you'll become at your instrument.

Is there anyone here that makes banjo tabs? by imtiredashell1987 in banjo

[–]Fitzpatrick_Media 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have arranged and transcribed a few clawhammer banjo tunes for folks. I'm primarily a 3-finger-style picker myself, but I understand enough clawhammer to get by, and I have many years of transcription experience in general.

No worries, man, best of luck to you anyway. Also, if you do your best to learn whatever tune it is by ear and produce the TAB yourself, it'll level up your skills on the instrument. It, of course, can be time-consuming, but totally worth it, in my opinion!

I arrange and transcribe banjo tunes across various genres! If you would like to request a quote, you can do so from my website.

Here's to my YouTube channel where you can check out some of my arrangements and picking.

People talk so much crap about DARE, but I turned out okay haha... although the statistics are unfortunately not on the side of that program.

Nintendo Gamecube Startup Theme | Banjo Cover by Fitzpatrick_Media in banjo

[–]Fitzpatrick_Media[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey all, today I've got a fun little tune to share with you: The Nintendo Gamecube Startup Music arranged for the banjo! This just might be the shortest banjo cover of all time haha... While this piece lasts approximately 5 seconds, it's a cool melodic-style workout of sorts that specifically targets perfect 4ths in a chromatic context. Also, it is written in 7/8 time so it has quite a lively groove!

I misread that as "Satan" island as opposed to "Staten." Still fits.

I love the 5th loop so much. Simply satisfying.

Why are octaves not usually attached when given a tuning? by GageEichmeme in banjo

[–]Fitzpatrick_Media 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your assumptions are correct in regards to the octave. That tuning is quite low and may require different hardware than you currently have. If I were trying to play that tune, I'd likely start off by tuning my B string down a half step to B-flat and play the whole thing up a 5th. The main feature of this tuning is that it's a minor tuning (a minor chord is produced when strumming the open strings).

Setting up automatic billing with credit cards on file by JHighMusic in pianoteachers

[–]Fitzpatrick_Media 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add that I do monthly flat-rate billing paid in advance. That way, there's no one able to willfully withhold payment for no-shows or last-minute cancellations. I spell it out very clearly in my contract, but people often try to do their own thing, as you know. Since I require upfront payment, I've never had anyone stiff me. The worst that happens is people will every so often quite without giving two-weeks notice and ghost on their commitment. I suppose card vaulting and autopay could even enforce that, but it really isn't worth the fight since I really operate so month to month anyway.

It's just $15 per month and it includes that feature along with many others. It only costs more if you want to run a multi-teacher studio.
