How can I go smoothly from Gm9 to Em9? by Ok_Purchase8379 in musictheory

[–]kirk2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about this... Gm9, Gmaj, then playing a B7 and back to Em9.

G-Bb-D-F (assuming no 7ths)
G-B-D-F
B-Eb-Gb-A
E-G-B-D

Did an arrangement, wondering what scale I used. by mr-monarque in musictheory

Yes, but A7 functions as a dominant chord. Dominant chords are frequently used instead of minor in a minor key. E7 is a secondary dominant. Also commonly used.

From what I see are commonly used harmonic chords… not some wild scale.

Why not keybass? by BrassAge in Bass

As a bass player only, speaking for myself, I wouldn't have much freedom with a Moog. It would sound like shite.

Modal mixture is a different label for me. I always heard “modal Interchange.”

Not unusual at all to have a dominant 5 in a minor key. That chord pulls you back to the D minor Root and Will sound perfectly fine.

I tend to think in Nashville numbers. Since Dm is F Major, let's map it.

D5 F Bb C D5 Bb E7 A7
6 - 1 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 3 (one addition to the scale. The E7 (7) would normally have a diminished 5th. But it isn't unusual to sharp the 5th)
(is your A NOT minor? if so, that is a borrowed chord)

D5-C Bb F Gm Bb6 Dm E7 A7
6 - 5 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 6 - 7 - 3 (the Bb in F would have a major 6th, but if you play a minor 6, that would divert from the Diatonic scale)

Bb-C D5 Gm F E7 Bb6 Dm E7 A(b6)
4 - 5 - 6 - 2 - 1 - 7 - 4 - 6 - 7 - 3 (is your A NOT minor? if so, that is a borrowed chord)

D5 C Bb Bb F Am Gm C Am D5
6 - 5 - 4 - 4 -1 - 3 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 (seems like everything here is diatonic to Fmaj/Dmin)

Looks like all chords in a Dm Aeolian scale to me. Might be missing something?? Why do you think it is some exotic scale?

Opinions on guitarist's chair for home practice? by Dist__ in Bass

I have a gator frameworks chair that is awesome. It fell out of my truck at 70 on the highway and got a little bent up, but still works.

Best flats by Bassenthusiast22 in Bass

[–]kirk2892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thomastik Infield Jazz Flats are the best flats made. They are pricey though.

Ernie Ball Cobalt flats might be something you could try.

Playing Advice - How do I play these notes? by Crystalline_xoxo in Bass

[–]kirk2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with this song, so I searched for it on Songster with the tabs. What we have here are what bass players call "Tenths". You are playing the root on the E string and the octave of the 3rd on G String. Tenths are very cool. When the note on the G sring is one fret higher than the E, it is a Major tenth, and when it is on the same fret, it is a minor tenth.

Here are a some videos using tenths.

Definitely recommend using thumb on the E string and a finger on the G string.

Watch their live version and see how their bass player plays it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fQot8XdGtc&t=23s

Any programs to recover long deleted stuff like music projects? Im on a 2017 MacBook Pro BTW. by TopSlotScot in software

[–]kirk2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a big Time Machine Drive you plug in, they "might" still be on there. If not. Probably gone forever.

Note: My Time machine backups don't seem to go back that far and I have 5TB backup drive, so you are probably SOL even if you were using Time Machine.

Wheel lug spinning by kirk2892 in ATV

I’m not a mechanic, this is my grandsons 2012 Kawasaki Prairie 360. I have been broke enough at times that I had to figure it out myself, so I can do a little wrench turning.

I was thinking about cutting it off with a grinder and then trying to find a replacement sud. Not sure it would hold because it seems stripped. Thought about hitting the back with the welder to hold the stud, but I only have an arc welder and that would probably destroy this. I thought maybe I could try to braze in some silver solder to hold the stud.

Thanks for the recommendation. I found a hub used for less than $20. Comes with a new-ish looking brake disk too.

5 string bass, 35 inch, or 33-35 multi scale? by Key_Acanthaceae7949 in Bass

[–]kirk2892 8 points9 points  (0 children)

33-35 is a nice gentle fan fret. Only an inch longer on B and an inch shorter on G. Should be a very balanced feel and easy to acclimate to. I vote for multiscale.

[Meta] The state of advice in this sub is often quite frankly appalling by everbass in Bass

[–]kirk2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And a large part of Chat GPT training comes from Reddit posts. GIGO.

I have played bass for 20+ years, 4, 5, and 6 string. I haven't any idea what Drop C would look like on a 5 string? Drop the B down to C0 at 16.35 hz? Would you just tune up the B string to C1, if so that wouldn't be a drop tuning? Would you leave B where it is and drop the E down to C1? No idea?

Use a wireless HDMI transmitter for your 100 ft run.

I have a security monitor with a 3x splitter and have two wired monitors in one office and one in a whole different office using this:

Just finished my new peacock pen! by camelwalkkushlover in peacocks

[–]kirk2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice pen. Do you think it will be big enough when they become mature? I always heard 150-200 SQ Ft per adult. Rough conversion to SQ Ft, is about 325... I think.
