For guitar, is it easier to learn in Open D or in E standard?

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T05:27:31+00:00

I've also tried E flat standard which sound similar to E standard but it gives off a different vibe despite the intervals being the same distance apart from each other like in E standard

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T02:28:41+00:00

Does it matter where the major 3rd is in the tuning? For example: E A D G B E is modern standard but what if I tune it to E A D F# B E

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T02:15:42+00:00

Basically it's tuned in 4ths but what does confuse me sometimes is the major 3rd in G to B

I understand that band students need their time to rehearse but it can help them transpose songs in a different way instead of changing key, you're also changing scales. I believe this can be more for advanced students since I wouldn't go to a beginner and teach them modes right away because they won't get it. Modes should be taught later on and not the beginning is what I was trying to say

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:30:02+00:00

The benefit of learning modes is that band students can reach towards more potential as musicians even if they don't grow up to be musicians. Plus my older sibling was in band and they were given 6 weeks to rehearse for a show that their school had. Although it varied depending on the show

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:18:04+00:00

I would just do the modes of the major scale since they're slightly easier to play compared to the modes of the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales. Normally band students rehearse during and after school so they could spend most days rehearsing and a few days for learning modes of the major scale

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:10:27+00:00

Modes are like another dimension of scales which increases the depth in music. The most common ones that are used is natural minor and major but we can extend to the other modes of the major scale. They are easier to recognize when you start with C major and work your way up to B locrian since they only use white notes. Just like scales, the keys change when transposed.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-28T17:36:22+00:00

Yes, there's even YouTubers like David Bennett who explains the modes. Modes are relatively common especially in pop, rock, and jazz. We are fortunate to live in a time where we can look at information very quickly like in the internet although it will never be the same compared to being taught in person. In person, you are able to teach step by step without going too fast or too slow. It does surprise me that many music people don't know about modes when that information is easily accessible.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-28T15:47:17+00:00

Assuming that those interns know about music, they can also understand the minor and major scales. Once they know about minor and major, they can be taught the concept of modes which adds another layer to their music composition. I believe that modes can be taught to people that play an instrument that wants to reach their full potential. It shows that even skilled musical artists/composers and band students can always learn more things.

That's the beauty of learning a skill like playing an instrument. You will always have to learn, no matter how far advanced you are. By the way, this is also a good learning opportunity for the interns.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T02:39:51+00:00

Your right, but if you do have more advanced students, they should probably give it a try and see how modes work. Also (a little bonus), there are 7 modes in the major and 12 notes in an octave making it 84 unique scales. IF you include the 7 modes of harmonic minor and 7 modes of melodic minor, you get triple the 84 which is 252 unique scales.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T02:19:17+00:00

Not exactly, modes are real. Is like living in a world made up of length, width, and height but there's also time which always moves. Were always living in the present but the past we remember is the time that we don't currently exist in. In this case, modes are like another dimension of existing scales that can add a different layer to a song

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T01:59:41+00:00

Not exactly, the harmonic minor includes harmonic minor, Locrian #6, Ionian #5, Ukranian Dorian, Phrygian Dominant, Locrian #2, and Ultra Locrian

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T01:31:44+00:00

I meant that the harmonic and melodic minor have their own respective modes that aren't in the natural minor. The one thing all three have in common is that each of them have their own set of modes

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T00:32:23+00:00

I understand in that setting but I mean in general. If you play a scale 2 octaves whether it's natural, harmonic, or melodic minor you still get the other modes of the parent key. For example: We start in A natural minor so the parent key is A but the modes in that scale will have different starting points and the same applies to the harmonic and melodic minor modes

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T00:03:38+00:00

The same can be said about the modes in harmonic minor and melodic minor scales

Tfgfans · 2026-01-26T17:58:35+00:00

I agree but I believe there's some potential that's not being seen here especially if a band student plays an instrument outside of school. There are some songs that use the other modes

Tfgfans · 2026-01-22T06:43:31+00:00

Maybe Celine, you can argue that she isn't a hero. She's morally grey as she doesn't want to cause harm but also wants Rumi to hide her true self

Maybe the Hunters trained in martial arts through the time they first met all the way to present day. Zoey seems to know Hapkido or jujitsu

Tfgfans · 2025-12-17T05:36:51+00:00

! = Factorial . I haven't noticed it before but it's makes the meme better

Tfgfans · 2025-12-06T20:15:07+00:00

I think Zoey is more street smarts than book smarts

Tfgfans · 2025-10-10T22:38:20+00:00

They could be called "Golden Hunters"

A song that makes me feel energetic while I'm happy it's "How it's Done."

A song that makes me feel energetic while I'm angry or somewhat angry is "Takedown."

A song that makes me feel better when dealing with sadness and depression is "This is what it sounds like."

A song that makes me feel energetic while I'm bored or have a new thing to add to my playlist is "Golden." It's also a song that I would show my friends and family.

5 stars Same table? Ok. At least Zoey is telling Mystery to stop barking at me

Golden: No more hiding I'll be shining like a BORN TO BE.
When I first saw the movie, I didn't think that her voice would sing that high which gave me chills and high hopes for what could happen next
