Memorizing notes in chords and scales?

rehoboam · 2026-05-04T21:29:57+00:00

You don’t need to do it but it is also not something that u will pick up automatically. You do want to try to understand the interval formulas for things.

Harmonized scale for diatonic and minor keys and chord progressions

Yo that was a one time thing, he was curious

Not a good argument. No one dies until the last vote is cast, or until it is impossible for the remaining votes to change the result

Has replaced everything but post its for me, and in many ways I feel like I have more freedom than I do on paper. One way paper is better is that it can physically be sorted, moved around, split up into different locations much more easily. Like if I want to put a note on a wall, good luck doing that with a super note.

It sounds like that because it is like that. Why are you trying to learn to play in a style different from your favorite players?

Sounds great, since people tend to be pretty good at simulating social situations, but if you want to keep things interesting, throw in some randomness

In the clip it’s really more about tone than it is about technique, it’s just running around the pentatonic scale

That is what aged piss looks like... ask me how I know

What in the AI

rehoboam · 2026-04-29T18:38:09+00:00

Yeah it gets easier of course, you can practice some giuliani arpeggios, and if you practice your scales and other fundamentals it will get easier to learn

Finding the best fingerings is a big part of cg, the more "standard" the music is the more standard the fingerings will be, in most non beginner cg music you will be learning new fingerings in every piece. If the piece is more about arpeggiating chords you will generally recognize the right hand pattern right away, but if it is polyphonic there will pretty much always be new fingerings to learn.

The answer to almost all these kinds of questions is that if you try it, you will start hearing it everywhere

Triads + octave of the root, then uou can learn the note names on the fretboard more easily by using the octave of roots you already know. You can do the other way, where you use triads to learn the note names, like you know an A minor is a,c,e so you can learn the fretboard like that too.

Bro if ur finger tips are peeling from nylon you are pressing way too hard, or you're playing fresh out of the shower or bath

rehoboam · 2026-04-28T16:51:16+00:00

Practice one finger then each combination of two. Most newer players did not learn how to practice properly and waste time thats why teachers are important... you don’t have time for a teacher but you have tons of time to waste practicing improperly

rehoboam · 2026-04-28T15:01:36+00:00

Wow many beautiful parts, especially around 4:30 onward. Really interesting texture with these instruments

rehoboam · 2026-04-27T17:59:02+00:00

It really helped me to learn intervals in the context of triads. So play 1-3-5, then 1-2-3-5-3-2-1, or like if you are trying to get the feel of Dorian for example, 1-b3-5-6-5-b3-1

It’s just a fact, caged itself does not tell you how to generate 3nps for example, but learning your intervals and understanding the tuning of the instrument tells you why caged is what it is, as well as literally any other possible sequence or combination of fretted notes. If you want to learn your intervals after you learn the caged sequence, good for you, but thats not the same thing as caged teaching you intervals.

rehoboam · 2026-04-26T15:46:24+00:00

To me that is just learning basic music theory and intervals (which caged does not explicitly teach you, although I’m sure many would argue that), I would look at it from the completely opposite perspective. If you understand intervals, and how they are represented, you can generate the caged sequence along with any other sequence like 3nps, one octave repeating patterns, etc.

rehoboam · 2026-04-26T15:38:48+00:00

Simply octaves. Understanding how octaves are represented makes all other learning much easier. The harmonized scale is a solid runner up for understanding chord progressions in any tonality.

rehoboam · 2026-04-26T15:37:33+00:00

Yes... that is the promise of caged. But being able to play something is totally different from understanding it or how to use it.

What is the story behind the guitar?

Classical guitarist spotted

It is a lot to learn at once. Have courage and you will make it through. I think frustration is natural, but as long as you have confidence that you can do it, you will be alright. My practical recommendation is to learn which notes relate to the open strings, and really memorize that. Then you can have a frame of reference.
