515.0. "Guitar Column??" by JACKAL::MURRAY () Wed Mar 02 1988 14:09

        This is in response to note 380, concerning a Guitar Column.
    I don't claim to be an expert, but I do have a good grasp of  
    theory and would be more than happy to try to relate some of it
    to anybody who is interested. If you'd like me to give it a go,
    send a reply to this note and we'll see what happens. 
        Please include some types of things you'd like to read about
    and I'll see what I can do.
    Scott Murray

515.1	Just go for it!	CSC32::G_HOUSE	Greg House - CSC/CS	`Wed Mar 02 1988 20:16`	8
	Hey, great! I, for one, would still be interested in sharing in your knowledge. One subject that I've been wondering about lately is ideas on application of the modes. Thanks for volunteering, Scott! Greg
515.2	a little help?	JACKAL::MURRAY		`Thu Mar 03 1988 07:55`	10
	re .1 Greg, Can you be a little more specific? I'm gonna have to go to the books on that. Thanks, Scott Murray P.S. I tried to send you this thru the mail, but I couldn't reach your node.
515.3	Me too..	WLDWST::JENSEN		`Thu Mar 03 1988 10:55`	3
	yeh, go for it. I like to read anything about guitar. Mark
515.4	You write it, I'll read it!	CSC32::G_HOUSE	Greg House - CSC/CS	`Fri Mar 04 1988 17:20`	16
	Scott - I'm surprised you couldn't get to my node, it's a cluster alias and is almost always up. Must have been the E-net. I've been taking some lessons and learning the modes. My instructor gave me a few ideas for applying them (certain 'rules'), none of which I can remember right now to give an example. Kind of like, if you have a major chord and you have a major second chord, what would be a good mode to use? Or maybe it isn't that simple... I'm sure there's a lot more information and peoples personal ideas on interesting applications of the modes. That's what I was interested in specifically, but feel free to write whatever you like, I'm just interested in increasing my knowledge of music in general. Greg
515.5	Me too	STAR::KMCDONOUGH		`Mon Mar 07 1988 14:03`	13
	I ditto the request for the column. I have been playing for a long time, and I've found that I play by intuition and little else. I play pretty well, but if I had to explain a particular chord progression or lick to someone else, I'd be at a loss. Most musical theory from my past has vanished. I am game for most topics. For example, I've found the recent chord discussion in MUSIC interesting. Thanks for getting the ball rolling. Kevin
515.6	Theory lesson in MUSIC	CSC32::G_HOUSE	Greg House - CSC/CS	`Wed Mar 09 1988 14:22`	5
	For those interested in a basic music theory discussion, it looks like note #1906 in DREGS::MUSIC has some really good information in it and is still growing. Greg
