Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Gravedigger Dav]

Just about every knows watts means power. Therefore, watts can only be measured when a power chord is played. Adding a major or minor third confuses the meter. Don't add any jazzy 7ths or 6ths.
Remember, expend those watts using power chords.

True, but diminish a fifth and everything sounds better.

 

[Pug the Pig]

Surely you mean half diminished, daddyo.....

 

[dougjwray]

If you're reading a chart for a tune which is in the key of F# major, and you run across an E# note, just play an E natural.
No one's ever heard of an E#, because they don't exist.

 

[-Asdfgh-]

that's the second most effective way to deter groupies, the first being membership of a prog rock band

Ian Anderson seemed to wear both that and be in a prog band. Maybe Mrs. Anderson was just being very cautious.

 

[Jay2U]

Hot rod pickups are the best to cut through the mix.

How does this relate to the drummer for the Rolling Stones...

Many are familiar with musical modes, Ionian, Dorian, Phyrgian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. However, few ever discuss Halcyon mode. Used only in obscure jazz, it consist of flatted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Even less used is Nadirian mode which consists of sharp 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. This mode is so obscure, it was only used once in an unpublished work.

Would it be correct to describe E# as "ineffable"?

 

[Pug the Pig]

In that you can't say 'F...' to it..?!
You could have an E sharp it would be an enharmonic version of F...you get double sharps and double flats too...these crazy classical people eh.....

The World Musician's Board are discussing the introduction of the Lemmyan and Geddyan modes.

I'd say there's no F in E, but that would be musical information.

The World Musician's Board are discussing the introduction of the Lemmyan and Geddyan modes.

the Lemmyan mode has two main features, it's louder than all other modes, and has 11 notes.

The Geddyan mode can only be played in 7/4.

 

[Pug the Pig]

"There is no F in E"......Is that what the bloke told you the last time you tried to 'score' some....?

 

[-Asdfgh-]

After the French revolution, decimal scales were introduced, dividing the octave into ten equal intervals. It sounded awful, but since most French people already used cheese to stop up their ears to avoid accordion music, the change went largely unnoticed.

 

[Pug the Pig]

Hence the very, erm 'wide' vibrato popular with the likes if Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour... etc

 

[ScrewDevil]

Thomas Dolby invented noise reduction technology.

 

[Pug the Pig]

That's 'cause he was Hyperactive..

Alright then...If you tied all the guitar strings in the world together, they'd reach the Moon...
