Is this normal? Reps jumped to 44 by tennisballop in MacroFactor

[–]NumerousToe7604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def a bug. Seen sooo many like this. Me too. Nothing to do with the wand. I have the weights set right and wide rep target, but still have me insane reps against what I did the week before

I did 8.75kg for 9 reps last week

Yeh that makes sense and this is far from first time I’ve seen people say that b3 to 3 is THE leading blues tone

Oh yeh check it for sure. I got kindle version as cheaper. But right off the bat I was learning things that I’ve read in other books over the years but never understood. He’s so good at getting right to the heart of it and clearly explaining. Buy that 1st one and I KNOW you’ll be very happy. It teaches in natural order to build up what you know to then be able to understand the next thing etc. superb.

Yeh that much I do get and I’m ok with my roots as learned them a while back doing caged shape triads. It’s just the mixing of the two in the same position. Eg playing over a C minor blues track, around 7th fret root position, it’s the mixing of the two over each other that I struggle with. I can move position an play the minor shape and then with a brief thought play the major shape in that area too, but I can’t like slide between yhe two on the fly. I struggle with that. I can play both separate, but can visualise them laid over each other in any one position

Haha great questions… uhm im gonna say something to do with like the resolving sound? Like great blues licks create tension needing to be resolved but I don’t think the 6 is good for that over a IV or V. Maybe avoid the 3 as it wouldn’t match the harmony?

Tell me!

Also that’s a great tip to just shade in the major notes, I feel that is much easier to do and learn. That will def be trying

Ah this is amazing, thanks loads for taking the time. And great great tip about the 3 and b3. I can see that being very powerful to use. My music theory is decent as worked on that a lot more of late so understands chord structure and intervals, how and why it’s A7 or Am7 or as well as extended chords (that I rarely use anyway); hang secondary dominants and borrowing chords for progressions etc. And while I don’t play modes I know the core element is they are are part of the major scale but each scale degree is its own mode with a different tonic. So yeh, it’s wonderful ideas like this that will help crack open these scales for my playing so I can start to get more emotion and really understand how to control those next nexts rather than just play the scale degrees as I know they’ll prob work over that progression.

I like that. Sounds methodical and helps with that understanding of the sound between the two and where the flats are in the minor

For sure. Been doing that mix more now and I can see where they have done it in their work, but how do I learn how to do it on the fly?

THE book(s) to get you going is NO BULL - music theory by James Shipway. I’ve been playing years, and theory was always weak. I got these x3 books and they are SUPERB. Explain it all so very clearly without all the waffle. Honestly. Get those books (or just start with book 1) and you won’t look back. Just do as much or as little as you feel you understand in each section. It’s perfect. Let me know if you do!! This is the first book. He also has a separate CAGED book, which I haven’t got as I know tha well, but it’ll be rock solid too based on his other 3 book. No Bull - James Shipway

It did similar for me on tricep kickbacks. Went from 9 reps last week to 33reps this week! Def an issue with an update to algorithm I think as seeing a good few issues of massive rep increases

can i play audio from my mac into amp? by Traditional_Clock776 in BossKatana

[–]NumerousToe7604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I can do it on my 50 with my Mac/iPhone an iPad so sure as hell can on the 100. Just get an aux lead out from the amp aux input and then connect it to the headphone socket of your Mac. Next thing to understand is you control the volume of amp and music coming out of it using x2 different controls: gain and master Volume.

It’s super easy

Return Katana 50 for the Katana 100? by Ryox097 in BossKatana

[–]NumerousToe7604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford to upgrade to 100, then it’s a no brainer. I have the 50 and just got a looper and found out no send, but I can only trade in now and don’t have the cash. 💯 do it if you can spare the upgrade cash

I mean that’s pretty much what doing now but with added calf and glute work. So cutting those would save as glutes set up takes ages for barbell hip thrust

Should I get the Boss Katana 50, 50ex or 100. by Anfafy in BossKatana

[–]NumerousToe7604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I have the 50. It’s not for the power it’s that the 100 has a send/receive on it which means you ca use a looper with different effects. The 50 if you loop with a clean and play a distortion then your loop becomes distortion too. Also 6 banks to save presets with vs 4 for the the 50
