<t>I am interested in hearing other people's reccomendations for the most efficient way to practice a piece of music.<br/>
<br/>
My teacher always advocated playing a piece hands speperately then hands together. Hands seperately I always find so boring that it kind of puts me off.<br/>
<br/>
Then ...

<r>Love the way he plays. Really has something unique I think...<br/>

How is everyone and what's new?

Apologies that it has been so long in getting this place back up and running correctly.

From my side I have no been playing as much guitar as I would like but I have been working on my piano skills a little bit more.

<t>Hi everyone<br/>
<br/>
Firstly, Happy New Year!<br/>
<br/>
Well it has been a huge amount of time since I have done anything with this forum and it really shows. So, now I have a little more time on my hands I have decided to try and give it the love that it deserves with a new platform.<br/>
<br ...

Good luck with your venture!

Sorry for the late reply but welcome!

It is a good idea!

Hey Mikey - long time no see!

How have you been?

As you can see, the forum has pretty much died now!

What has been going on with you?

Hey John

Good to hear from you! Glad to hear you are well.

To say things are quiet here is an understatement Poly! I thought the forum had died completely! Hope all is well with you!

Hi Cody

Your playing is really good. I would love to be able to tap in the fluid manner you achieve!

The actual tune was enjoyable as well.

Can you advise what equipment you used to record it?

Cheers

Olly

<t>I know the basics of chord progressions but I was watching some guy on youtube and rather than playing standard chords he was using extended chords like #5, add9, min7, maj7 etc and it sounded so much nicer than plain chords.<br/>
<br/>
Whilst I know how to play a minor or major7 chord that is ...

<t>I have been getting more and more interested in music production.<br/>
<br/>
A long while back I bought a MIDI controller. It consists of about 2 octaves of keys and a load of knobs. I thought it would be good for laying down drum beats etc.<br/>
<br/>
I think it does serve that purpose but I ...

Excellent James - how is it all going now?

Welcome to the forum!!

I know this has happened in Seattle but is there other places in the US that are decrimilising it?

Really good.

I love Game of Thrones and hearing this just makes me look forward to the next series even more!

<t>Don't panic! That is what lessons are for!<br/>
<br/>
I always find that, no matter how long you put the guitar down for, it doesn't take long for it to all come flooding back - you might just be a little rusty to start!<br/>
<br/>
Fair play for getting lessons and good luck - let us know how it ...

<t>Your presenting style is very good. Nice and clear and easy to understand!<br/>
<br/>
The modes are one of those aspects that I am still, nearly ten years on, struggling to grasp fully. Not so much what they are and why, but more the ability to apply those modal tones within music. <br/>

Hi John, good to hear from you.

I had a good fathers day. Me and the kids went out for a nice lunch with my dad, then I was allowed up the pub!

<t>I would just say that different people learn at different speeds. 9 months is not all that long really.<br/>
<br/>
You may find that you are very close to "the penny dropping" and everything falls together for her, then again, it may not happen for a while yet - but it sounds to me you are doing ...

Yes that is definitely the note. Though looking at this it is played lower down the neck

Thanks for this - it is almost spot on but I hear a difference between the first two chords in the recording, so unless I am hearing something that isnt there - which I may be?!!?
