Personally I would say:
- Learn how to play the major scale on one string
- Learn how to play the major scale on multiple strings
- Learn the “E” and “A” barre chords
- Learn the diatonic chords in a key
- Play songs you like using steps 1-4
Been playing for a year maybe, learned alongside piano, I’m happy with my ability to improvise enough, ever waking moment I’m learning a standard or playing whatever, I desperately want to be able to play with others and jam.
I go to university gonna be a senior, my roommates can’t really play, I have connections with the jazz school but I just want to meet people and jam chill, I’ve got a friend who for sure jams but he’s in the local scene a fair bit so I’m not sure how to insert myself into a jam? From playing little bits with other musicians camping and different apartments I don’t feel like I play out of my depth at all I’m just struggling to find musicians to jam with
Thanks!!!
I’m working through all of me on guitar, I can play ideas that are diatonic well enough where it feels like an extension of my brain but there’s a couple V7 that go into different keys, which my fingers don’t know what to do.
I found that after playing a bunch I’ll naturally understand to go from a G7 to C, is playing secondary dominants like E7 to A (Aminor in this song) just a matter of internalizing how it feels to play a secondary dominant?
Here’s my problem, I love playing the major scale/modes of the major scale because I’m happy with how I feel playing it, but I don’t like switching scale shapes because it feels super manual, like I hit E7 and then my brain has to manually go ok, E is now the fifth degree of the scale play accordingly, right track? Wrong track? Thanks a ton
Is it diatonic? When I play Imaj7 it’s iii with I in the root and ii min7 is IV with ii in the root, THEN when I play ii, following the pattern from before I place a b7 in the root it makes bVIImaj7, I can go down again with I on top and vi in the bottom to make vimin7
Does that make this bVII chord diatonic ? Why does the b7 work
found that on a minor triad if I can play the b6 below the root or a major 3rd down it becomes a maj7 of that new bass (am I describing this correctly?) and vise versa for min7 starting with a maj triad.
This is easy to see in cmajor on piano but I just found this on guitar which was a little harder to conceptualize this
How do I keep discovering.. stuff like this? I just noodle around the diatonic chords of a key really, but I’m starting to see how moving the bass note might be a way to move to different chords without diatonic motion? Where do I go from here I feel like I’m on the cusp of something? Thanks 🙏
Very new to piano, a couple chord progressions/songs I’ve been on different keys I improvise over the chords before learning the melody so it’s easier, in every key my brain is just selecting the intervals to play and then my fingers just need to be able to grab the note, but my brain is thinking the same intervals in every key so it feels like when I learn something in one key I don’t even have to learn it in another key
In coming from guitar so playing this way has blown up the way I look at music- am I onto something or no ?

When I think of punishing I think of:
Over extended side planers
Over extended to ward
Invading my jungle
They gank -> I steal camps or obj or gank
ADC not respecting me in team fight
Lack of vision -> flank
Catching uncontested side line
Are there bigger ones I’m missing ? Crucial ones that you guys are always looking for? If you were dropped into poopooloo Elo what mistakes would you be targeting for free tempo
Talon main trying to understand my food, sucking ass in ADC because I don’t really understand how I should play according to the role, am I just supposed to chill and be safe the whole game and come out In teamfights ?
Haven’t been interested in lyrical music my whole life because of psychological problem I am medicated and can listen to words in music now, who should I listen to to hear the best rap from someone who hasn’t been able to listen to the genre
Thanks
I’ve been trying to transcribe chords by ear, I’ve listening for the bass motion and highest voice and then guessing to fill the chord, this cover of the look of love is great and so far I have Bbm6 and Bbm9,
I understand asking hey what chords are these?? On this sub is lazy as fuck but my method is very flawed and I’m struggling- tips?
Did I miss something? I know she was being worshipped by the cultists and such and got sent to the island but did she always have the Jews inside of her and that’s how she was able to titanshift ?
Or let me know if it’s answered later in the show
Background, I'm comfortable playing along with melodies and playing alongside pretty simple changes, but when I'm noodling and find a melody I like I want to add chords to it.
So far this just looks like: Oh, I made this/am playing this in _Major or _Minor, I'll notice I tonicize a different note here or there or use a different scale.
and THEN, I, say the melody is in Gmajor, throw in the 1 and 3 under the note I'm playing, or try and play an Eminor under it or something and play the 6 and 3 under it,
My problem is I can play what my mind thinks melodically but not harmonically I guess? I understand this requires experimenting to learn/master, but I would really like some advice as to how I should be learning to experiment with this!! Thanks a ton
Not much info online or on DARS, my advisor doesn’t know what school they are advising for but there’s an older thread on here saying you get 2 D passes unless the course says it is a C prerequisite
Taking heat transfer (D in question) which is a prerequisite for thermal engineering
Edit: thanks, you get two C- , D, or D- incase anyone else comes across this thread in 2 years, checking course description lets you know if you need a C to progress. All in writing in DARS
Uber piano beginner, came from guitar
My playing consists of playing diatonic chords and inversions on my left hand and noodling to the changes I make up with my right hand, I’ve been trying to break out of just playing diatonic chord changes by learning secondary dominants,
But today I played a cmajor and c#minor chord and noted they sounded nice because the 3rd stays the same, and it made me think that learning how to move around by stacking intervals is probably much better than what I’m doing which is essentially like root -> 5th -> fill in what note I want between -> extension if I want
Is there a resource for this or a specific topic I’m trying to get at but can’t articulate?

I’m stuck just playing random diatonic chords and making chord progressions and improvising over them, I think I have a very good understanding of the major scale but my playing is diatonic chords and maj7 min7
Is there anything cool to be learned here? They’re kinda “the same (?)” (?) so I’ll tonicize the 4 or the 5 and flip between them (?) what am I talking about ?
