Bebop scales are certainly very valuable scales to add to your repertoire, especially if jazz is your bag. If you already know how to play the major scale and all of it’s modes, then you will find playing bebop scales a breeze. The reason being, these scales are essentially the same as the major scale’s modes, with the…
Cheers man, I hope the guide inspires you to experiment with your playing! I remember you saying you were into rock/metal, if that's the case then you will definitely love the harmonic minor scale. I post these guides all on my site, but thought I'd share them with you guys seeing as I posted my first guitar guide (modes…
This post we’re going to be discussing three minor scales: the Natural Minor scale (Aeolian mode), the Harmonic Minor Scale, and the Melodic Minor Scale. As you probably know already from my guide on the Modes of the Major Scale, the 6th mode of the major scale is always the natural minor scale, or the Aeolian mode. In the…
Hey trx sorry for the late ass reply! I finally uploaded the backing tracks to another file hosting site (uploading.com), you can now download it here! http://uploading.com/files/8519d9ab/modal%2Bbacking%2Btracks.zip/ I've also written a new guide, this one on the natural, harmonic and melodic minor scales. I'll post it up…
@ fag: No way man, I wouldn't stay there until 3 am for all the money in the world. Yeah I don't get it either, there was no sign of any animal - or even insect - the place was dead as a corpse. @ bornkiller: Thanks mate, hope you enjoy the rest! ;)
This is a fine idea, but I would be sure to delete this thread after you get your feedback, and then send the essays. There's a chance you might get pulled up for plagiarism, and if that happens you can kiss your scholarship goodbye. Even if you can prove you were the original author, they will still know that the final…
@RemadE: Cool, glad you got something out of this, my time writing this wasn't wasted it seems! I noticed your story on the forum, I only had time to read chapter 1 but it's very good so far and you should be proud. Needs a little editing, but so does all writing in their early stages. Once it's finished you should look in…
Your welcome! I've gathered you're a writer, this is something I learnt when I was studying literature so it's very applicable to works of fiction too!
It's really up to the writer how a climax is formed, some prefer to tease the reader to build suspense while others like to drop a climax like an atom bomb that will really stick in the reader's memories. The amount of planning put into a story also varies greatly between writers, most good pieces of fiction require at…
I have no experience with this, but maybe you could give reading manga a go? Some of them have really great storylines. You can read pretty much any manga in english for free at http://www.mangareader.net/ hope that helps somehow
I remember these guys. I remember Underground was a really fresh album, and one of their tracks 'Kyrie Eleison' from their album Mass in F Minor was used during the trip sequence in Easy Rider. Here' a good song by them from memory - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8G-pakPl-E
You pretty much listed all of the main browsers; I use Firefox personally. Google Chrome is actually pretty fast, and some people use Safari, but I never would...
Haha.. Mulder... Good call, I'll give you that, but can you explain the video in my OP? How can these two geezers get access to Carl Sagan's transmission code into space, decipher it, make one of their own, with a picture of a radio telescope that they crop circled years earlier, and then follow it with a disc of binary…
I don't know, it's all a little farfetched I admit. Have you watched the video in the OP? From that I assume they do it to ease into first contact, I doubt the aliens can speak our languages, but symbols are universal.
No hoaxed crop circle has ever produced the singlemost characteristic associated with the genuine phenomenon: plants whose stems are bent, not broken. Other anomalies include alteration in the crystalline structure of the plants themselves, also unfakable, and alterations of the local electromagnetic field There is the…
Yeah I can really see builders waking up early and ditching work to go to a crop circle and work on some super intricate and large scale crop circle for no fame or money or anything, except a feeling at the end of the night that they've made people believe it wasn't them who made the crop circles.
Yeah that's a plausible explanation for small crop circles, but for the massive ones that appear overnight? You need a team and a guy in a helicopter with a loudspeaker. Shit, some of the crop circle designs I couldn't even draw. http://www.temporarytemples.co.uk/imagelibrary/
I never once said I think people don't deny it. That is just further evidence that there is no such statistic that you provided, as any statistic on molestation rates would have to be pure speculation if most of the cases are denied and/or unreported. I'm not saying that I'm proud of my wikipedia stat, or for arguing about…
I have looked, believe me. No such statistic exists, which is why I'm asking you to back up your initial post. You do realise that if 90% of the population had been molested that would equate to 9 in 10 people? You also said, 90% would be molested in their lifetime, how can you find out whether someone will be molested in…
I've got soul silver and I have heaps of pokemon, including all the starters from Johto and Kanto, if you want to trade or battle. I don't know what my friend code is though, I'll get back to you.
And also, 'GoingNowhere' (just like this thread), the Telecaster was invented in 1949 (under the name Broadcaster) and the Stratocaster was invented in 1954. If anything the 60s was the mark of the Gibson SG (1961).
Yeah this thread is pretty stupid. I mean, it's not like you can generate a lengthy discussion on what the best era of rock was. It's pretty well established that it was the 60s-70s, and there are only going to be a couple of people that say otherwise.
Right on. But you would still get a lot more out of reading one of his books on any of the above topics, Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious alone is 500 something pages. A good book that covers something you haven't listed would be 'Psychology and Alchemy'.
Why would your ISP ban zshare? :S Have you got any suggestions for a good upload site? That's cool, modes are an asset to any guitarist as they can slip into almost any musical style. Rhythm is definitely the most important aspect of playing guitar in my opinion, so it's great that you place importance on it. If you…
Naked Lunch is a weird book, I struggled to enjoy it; might have to give it a second read. There were definitely some interesting parts, and Burroughs has an interesting way of... phrasing things. If you want a much more reader friendly Burroughs book, check out Junky. I think it was the first book he wrote, but don't…
Haha! That's great, you just made my day. I can tell from this post alone that you have a way with words; I would love to read your blog. Also your short story about the post apocalyptic courier boy sounds suspiciously similar to that movie The Postman. Word. To the OP, I too have been told I'm a good writer. I'm studying…
I really disliked On the Road, I hope I'm not the only one... Just finished reading The Beach by Alex Garland which I bought counterfeit in Vietnam. Amazing book. Currently reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, I'm really enjoying it so far!
What an awesome thread idea. If you're interested in dreams I highly recommend you read 'Dreams' by Carl Jung. Anyway, here is the first dream I ever wrote down. I have a lot more in my dream journal. I have also included dream symbolism for each of the major archetypes in my dream, this dream occurred right before my 3…
Xanax is very strong, it also has a short half life and you build up a mega tolerance to it. If you stop taking it suddenly you will experience more anxiety than you've ever had before, it really fucks you up. Also the withdrawals are crazy from it, I know because i used to have a Xanax problem. I smuggled a shitload of…
Good work, keep at it and you can go a lot deeper. I'm not sure what sort of meditation or prayer you are doing, but maybe this can help you: http://forums.vsociety.net/index.php/topic,12925.0.html
