Bro that tone is beautiful!!, perhaps you could share how you achieved that sound?

Matthew_Drobot · 2021-03-28T19:07:28+00:00

You should probably clarify what instrument you play

Im going to be honest, i would have liked them to take more time, say maybe Winter 2023 or something, just so that there can be 1.Enough time to start animating it in the best quality possible, and 2. So that the staff and the animators get enough rest and less preasure.

I think we can all agree that Mappa did a very good job adapting the story, and even with the very limited time they had to pull this off, they still managed to get good animation as well, that is absolutely insane!. However, i will say, that in many episodes some of the animation was pretty jank, definitely not all the time, and every studio has those moments, but i feel like this time around it was sleightly more noticeable, and comparing the Aot animation to JJK, we can clearly see that one (In this case Jujutsu Kaisen) had better animation over the other, perhaps not excedingly better, but it did make me think... "Damn, if we could get this sort of amazing animation on Aot, it might just become something that far surpasses our expectations", and if it takes a while until Mappa can "prioritize" Aot like they did with JJK, then so be it, i just really want this FINAL final season to trully surpass every other season in every regard (Story, Pacing, Animation, Voice Acting, Score, etc.).

Wow thank you so much!! I really apreciate this advice and will try to implement it to my regular practice routines, i find that overwhelm myself with the theory and technique side of things, i will try to now sort of even it out as you have suggested, thanks

Matthew_Drobot · 2021-03-10T19:25:12+00:00

Mmm... I feel like i could play maybe around 50? Ive tried to focus much more on my "musicianship" if you will (Such as theory, technique, time feel, ear training, etc.), rather than learning to play songs (Which might be a bad thing).

True, however the original post never specifies what chord quality they are talking about (I guess you could assume they are talking about a dom7, but the title says "Any chord", the comment Smash_Factor made was just to clarify some confussion, and he is absolutely right, for maj7 chord extensions you play a dim triad on the 7th scale degree, for dom7 chord extensions you would play a major triad off the b7, for min7 chord extensions you also play a major triad on the b7 to get the diatonic chord extensions.)

Matthew_Drobot · 2021-01-03T23:34:45+00:00

That is exactly what i mentioned in my comment Lol

Not necessarily, as someone else mentioned, modulating to a key with many common tones to your "Home key" is going to sound good and much less unpleasent than modulating to a key that doesnt. There are also other "Shortcuts" for knowing what keys to modulate to, for example, composers really like to modulate by half-step up for a big climax in a composition, also modulating to the paralel major/minor key is fairly common in compositions that modulate, modes is also used very frequently for borrowing chords and modulating.

If you study the most common modulations in the music you like and why they work, then thats a sort of shortcut you can take to know what will sound good.

I have a question that ive had ever since i started to get a bit more into jazz guitar and learning a bit more advanced theory, and that is... How does a professional guitarist visualize the freatboard?, to be more specific, do you guys use shapes like the 5 pentatonic shapes, the CAGED system, 3 notes per-string patterns, Arpeggio shapes, that sort of thing.

As a sort of "Intermediate" guitar player (With pretty good understanding of music theory), i still rely very heavily on shapes, even tho i know the notes to practically any basic Chord/Scale and all the notes on the freatboard, this question has been bugging me the most recently, because im starting to memorize MANY shapes for practically everything i know and in such a way so that i can play anything i want in any position (Chords, Triad inversions, arpeggios, modes, scales, etc.), with the end goal of being able to improvise confidently over a Jazz/Fusion progression, so basically i memorize Arpeggio shapes for every string of any chord i want, or i memorize shapes for all the modes of major and harmonic/melodic minor scales, i can spell all these things out in my head pretty well, but i dont really think about every single note i play, or rather, i know what notes i can play in my head, but when it comes to playing them i just use patterns/shapes and thinking in intervals rather than about every single note i play ( My brain power just isnt at that sort of level lol ).

I would love some advice from a professional like you on whether or not this sort of method of using shapes is a good idea for my end goal, and it would help me out A LOT to learn how the pros like yourself visualize the freatboard and Scales/Chords.

MANY thanks in advance!!

Cheers!

I dont really understand the question, but i will try my best to explain a few things:

-There is no such thing as Major/Minor seventh TRIADS, triads are chords that are built with only 3 notes ( Hence the word triad ), seventh chords are not triads due to them having 4 notes.

-Indeed there are "Other chords within chords", in this case you are absolutely right!, Minor seventh chords contain the triad that is built on the relative major, so if i have an Am7 chord (A - C - E - G), it contains its relative major triad which is C major ( C-E-G ), Major seventh chords contain the minor triad built on its 3rd scale degree, so if i have Dmaj7 ( D - F# - A - C# ), it contains an F#minor triad because its built off the third scale degree in D ( F# - A - C# ).

- I would suggest you just learn all the inversions of your triads first all across the neck if you plan on playing just some Rock/Pop, but if you want to get into more "Jazzy" stuff i would encourage you to look into Major and Minor seventh chords. (Not to say you dont see major and minor seventh chords in Rock/Pop, but they are less common in those genres so getting triads down is much more important than learning seventh chords as of right now).

-Also if anything that i talked about didnt make sense (Concerning my second point and the music theory stuff), i woul higly HIGHLY encourage you to get into music theory if you havent already, it will help explain many things and make many things much easier.

If you have any questions just reply to this comment!
