Topic: Notes on the fretboard tricks! (4 replies, posted in Music Theory)
Hey guys, here are some tricks for learning the notes on the fretboard.
1) Memorize natural notes on low E, A, and D strings. Remember B-C and E-F are 1 fret (half step) apart. All other natural notes are 2 frets (whole step) apart.
2) Use octaves to identify the notes on the higher strings.
3) Use reference points, such as the tuning frets, and 12th fret.
4) Talk in terms of notes when playing.
5) Make sure you have a handy fretboard chart.
6) Drill the notes up and down the neck - natural notes, and chromatically.
7) Highlight the natural notes on your fretboard chart.
8) Have someone quiz you.
Any questions, just let me know! GO STUDY!!

Topic: Learning Harmony for Songwriting (3 replies, posted in Songwriting on Guitar)
Knowing about harmony is very helpful when writing songs.
In this post, I will talk about harmonizing the major scale.
You can think of a harmonized scale as a scale played in terms
of chords.
The harmonized major scale follows this order:
maj min min maj maj min dim
Note:
maj = major
min = minor
dim = diminished
So, for example, in the key of C major (CDEFGABC),
the chords that are diatonic, or belonging to the key are:
Cmaj Dmin Emin Fmaj Gmaj Amin Bdim
Cool? Using these chords would be a good starting
point for the key of C.
This may seem confusing but we can talk about this more!

Re: are you in tune? (20 replies, posted in Guitars)
don't know the exact reason why its called warped refraction principle, but i know it has something to do with physics/science.
James...about the floyd rose, you're definitely right. you could put a block type of thing in the bridge area to keep it from moving (but then no floyd!)
also guys...how about the gibson robot??

Re: are you in tune? (20 replies, posted in Guitars)
Hey polyal,
Yes, very interesting material.
Also, do you know what the "Warp Refraction Principle" is?
Most guitar players don't!
It actually pertains to the tuning of the B and G strings...how it
is offset. What's cool about 6 string guitar is that it's tuned in 4ths,
except G & B strings, which are a 3rd apart. I'm sure you know
that though 
Also, here's another interesting tuning thing:
The F note, on the 6th string 1st fret can be used to
tune to a dial tone...don't do it though lol!
Oh, one more interesting thing about tuning...sorry if
I'm rambling lol. There used to be a 900 # to call
to get an A440 to tune your guitar. There was a small charge
for the service. Not like today with all the gadgets and things
we can use to tune our guitars.
Maybe I should go check my guitar tuning now!!

Re: How to begin a song (19 replies, posted in Songwriting on Guitar)
Hey Olly, I think it's really important to be inspired.
Also, listen to songs that you like for ideas, and put in
your creativity too!
A good place to start might be to play some nice arpeggios.
These can be inspiring, especially on nice sounding sus2 and
sus4 chords.
Another idea is to practice moving open chords along the
neck. While some positions will sound bad, some will sound
very beautiful and harmonious.
Hope that helps my friend.
Great forum by the way!
Sincerely,
Eric
