Heh...putting a book together is more difficult than it might seem, especially when you don't have a team of people working on all the minutia for you. :D

I was wondering, though, how did you make all those diagrams and get them to look so clean and neat?]]> Guitar Players Discussion RTB_Chris https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-84394 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-84385 Tue, 11 Jan 2005 02:43:29 +0000
Just wanted to thank you for the effort you have put into offering this material. I've just returned to guitar after a 15 year break and want to learn it properly this time around!

I have a few issues with the document however, the page numbers are contrived, pages within the document with same numbers ie: Ia and 1a, this may be intentional but I had to think about it and get my head around it..
Im also having difficulty understanding the use of the permutations for the pentatonic's and arpegios's. Instructions say to use EITHER the permutaions chart OR the pentatonic scale on either page 1a - 1d without reaching second root of the permutations. For some reason I just cant click with the logic behind it.. its probably obvious but I cant see it :(

Besides that, I've found it helpful and my scales have improved dramatically already and even over the last week that I've been using it.

Cheers,

I wonder how hard it is to publish a theory book....



Kido You could ask this guy:

http://www.sheetsofsound.net/

Jack Zucker (JAZ) is a regular on the rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz newsgroup. Based on his postings there, publishing "Sheets" has been rewarding and frustrating experience.

BTW, his book comes very highly recommended (I haven't seen more than examples).

You know its really funny but only one person understood all of the things Ive been doing here at guitar noise, he is 11 years old and he said..



"I dont understand any of the stuff youve posted abou graphs and stuff, but now I know that there are some people out there doing SO much with the guitar and all that theory stuff, and it makes me want to catch up."




So it seems Ive spent maybe 40-50 hours a week (litterally, because Im at my job doing this right now) producing diagrahms, regimens, speculations, graphs, charts and strategies. Yup....this would be true.

Is it because I think you need to know CAGED format? Or because I think you need to forget it? Do I want you to memorize every possible arpeggio possible or be able to run a scale 2-4 octaves and back while citing every note and degree? Of course not.

But let me say this, has anyone ever read Platos works, or at least the Republic? Or Aristotles Lyceum or Ethica? I read them all day at my desk here, Ive got a copy of their complete works within arms reach all the time. Im not saying you need to read philosophy or anything like that, this is merely for people who have been exposed to their works to understand.

There are people in this world who learn, create, memorize, theorize and hypothesize for absolutely no reason at all. And theyve done it for thousands of years. Some of us go to Calculus 2 (like me unfortunately) at a University (UNH for anyone in the area) and have no idea what to do with it, but for me, tackling the theory of guitar and music and kicking its ass until it makes sense is a huge passion.

Alot of the things I put together may be incorrect, illegitemate, or just plain useless. But it takes alot to get from "Ode to Joy" to "Little Wing" and this is the path Ive chosen.


Whats your path???????


Kido



P.S Aristotle, Plato, Atholeus, Achynom and all the others sat around and thought about things all day. They used rhetoric to argue proven points and contradictions to their own theories just to prove that they could. Language, Politics, Biology, methodology, ethics, and esthetics are HUGE categories of life....the guitar is much smaller....and in many ways much more beutiful, I wont let anyone learn more faster then me....and if they do Ill challenge them in every aspect to grasp what they know.

Im only sharing where I am today.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Call_me_kido https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-68430 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-68225 Mon, 06 Sep 2004 02:26:51 +0000
One of the touted advantages of the CAGED system is the ability to form a chord or scale, instantly, just about anywhere on the neck. Here, you seem to have dropped that idea of interlocking chord shapes and sequences. Is the CAGED system now more a way to remember the shapes of the scales?

Sorry, Ive never really been taught that system and I'm just having a bit of difficulty digesting all this info. Hope I'm not just being thick.]]> Guitar Players Discussion slothrob https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-68225 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-68192 Sun, 05 Sep 2004 21:11:50 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Marshall https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-im-doing-this-edited/#post-68192
