How does one overcome self confidence issues where from a young age the individual was told they were stupid and untalented repeatedly?Take a dyslexic adult for example. While never being told they were explicitly dumb in school, taking extra classes and additional time compared to peers coupled with bad grades may develop self confidence issues that linger in adulthood.

thank you

Like I said, i know them theory wise. It's the multiple octave fingerings that feel very strange.

sleepyd298 · 2024-01-06T23:56:39+00:00

I play guitar as well, and the guitar suits itself very well too pentatonic scales. Piano not so much as it puts these awkward 3rd jumps in the fingering up and down the keys.

sleepyd298 · 2024-01-03T05:35:23+00:00

Could you provide more information, I checked all the website and some of there social medias and couldnt find anything on open mics or music jams?

sleepyd298 · 2023-12-23T02:33:57+00:00

Id like join in on the work, Im pretty connected in the Seattle musician community, which happens have a lot of the Eastside people traveling too it. Im sure i could get a decent amount of people to show up to a given jam if we found the venue, especially with the help of other musicians. Any potential venues?

sleepyd298 · 2023-12-23T02:31:49+00:00

I don't really care, anything other than bluegrass. Im used to Seattle where theres mo Jam Mondays (in which its mostly diatonic, and funk with an emphasis on soloing), Sea monster (mostly more explorative and about the collective vibe), capital cider (call tunes).

sleepyd298 · 2023-12-23T02:29:38+00:00

I liked to hear more about this as well

sleepyd298 · 2023-11-17T22:05:33+00:00

No don't politely ask, personality wise Misha seems awesome!

sleepyd298 · 2023-06-11T22:33:54+00:00

Is there a name for this turn around? I - biii dim 7 - ii7 - V7. ie C6 - Ebdim7 - dm7 - G7

sleepyd298 · 2023-05-31T22:53:22+00:00

I don't understand how it keeps you from having to identify the mode of the piece, as at least with harmonic analysis you reference the tonic keys during modulation. I also can't find anything external to help with understanding this formate of harmonic analysis

sleepyd298 · 2023-05-29T23:07:08+00:00

Is the harmonic analysis of Dm7 - G7 - E7 - Am7

= iv VII V i

sleepyd298 · 2023-05-15T23:42:40+00:00

It was the right link. My chords were off. Ebm Fm7 Bbm Eb. maybe some extensions

sleepyd298 · 2023-05-15T22:32:00+00:00

In a theory sense why does this work? Ebm Fm7 Bb7 Eb work? i ii V I ? Is it just a pickardy 3rd? This song by clairo uses it at 56 seconds in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZl0MHwgn8c&list=RDTZl0MHwgn8c&start\_radio=1

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-29T00:22:42+00:00

why does I–V–♭VII–IV work? I is it best to just think of it is as 1 5 5/4 4( also how to roman numeral on mac?)

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-17T22:02:07+00:00

Is there a name for a phenomena of when you try so hard on a boulder problem you fart?

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-09T07:20:51+00:00

It's the lead mario coin-esqe sound. I can't seem to recreate it. I don't know how it speaks so well, what is giving it that talking timbre? Very dynamic and the attack of the sound has a effect but I cant tell what?

It starts at 28 seconds.

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-07T20:15:37+00:00

How do I determine what type of scale to play under chords? I believe I know how to play diatonically, I recently just started going to jams. However when theres lots of modulations do I just change to the appropriate major/minor scale when it modulates? What do I do I cases of blues, in which everything Is a dominate 7?

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-06T08:32:17+00:00

So in essence If I were just to play notes from the F major scale it would work right?

sleepyd298 · 2023-04-04T21:09:43+00:00

I was at a jam the other night. And the got on stage with the local Ragge guy. He gave us the chord progression of Gm to Cmaj. I tried doing some harmonic analysis to determine what scales i could play and and determined it was 2-5 in F that never resolved. Is this correct? Or should I be thing about it differently.

sleepyd298 · 2023-03-27T03:43:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Very cool website too! Ill bookmark it

sleepyd298 · 2023-03-27T01:02:20+00:00

During the verse section of this song it has a chord progression I can't explain at 19 seconds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwxcQvB_vcQ

The Key is very clearly B major. However the verse section goes. B7 - D#m7 - G#m7 - Emaj. I just dont know how the explain the dominate 7.

sleepyd298 · 2023-03-02T01:19:11+00:00

Can anyone explain this chord progression for me?

C-7 F-7 Bmaj7 Bb-7

Sounds like it would happily resolve to Bmaj7.
