I figured posting something up here couldn't hurt my chances. I live in the Denver area and have been doing construction work for the past year. The pay is really inconsistent and the hours are few and far between. Looking for a "real job" with a more consistent schedule. I am 21...

SUPER GLUE!!!

This is Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks everyone.

Im looking for examples of when the I-vi-IV-V was used in prominent reggae jams, hit pop songs, was changed and manipulated in jazz, and when it started in classical music. Just in depth information on specific cadences, chord progressions, and composition techniques. Looking for more of...

Thanks for the replies. MalcolmAmos- I do appreciate the info, but Im looking for real life examples of all of that information. Most stuff is simple I-V. And when its not. it seems pretty off the charts imo. The Wiki article was helpful. If you go down to the part titled...

I cant seem to find a site or book or post that explains composition deeply. Most basically end on how to put chords progressions together. Im looking for something that is based on chord progressions of different styles and different eras, and could explain some advanced composing...

Well I'm officially confused as to what this club is about... So i guess i'm in!!

I think its alot like "The Secret" Its valuable information wraped in a pretty pink ribbon. It just so happens that the ribbon is made out of some seriously annoying marketing tactics.

Trust me, no matter where you are in your playing. Theres always something to practice. After all... Its not what you say that counts... Its HOW you say it.

To learn how scales are constructed, i would recomend first learning some basic theory if you dont already know some. To start - Obviously learn the musical alphabet, and the interval system. With those 2 things under your belt im sure learning how to construct the major scale will be easy...

Well put. I completely agree. :) I think the contemporary way of playing over the chords them selves and maybe adding "scale tones" is much better then trying to think "X chord means X scale"

If you started the E minor pentatonic scale from the second note, it wouldnt be the same scale anymore. Its best if you keep it simple, and just think of it as "The Minor Pentatonic Scale" starting on E. If you want to play it in F. Move the entire scale up 1 fret. This scale can be used...

Like the title says - How Organized are you? Do you keep a list of stuff to bring to gigs? Organize your practice time? or just a "Free Bird?" :p Personally, I keep track of what to learn next, and what i've learned already to review it later. I also Calendar my gigs. But thats about...

You played a great show at Red Rocks man! I was waiting for that sense the last time NIN played here in Colorado, which was at Red Rocks aswell. Huge suprise when i saw you on stage!! I remember thinking "Woah!! Is that JMJ?!?" Got the issue of bassplayer the morning after. Just wanted to...

Anyway to Down load the ones that arnt zipped? It would be nice to be able to put these on a CD to practice while not on-line. Thanks again for the work you do.
