I have a (new in box) set of (black) Hot Golds that I've been sitting on waiting for the right build for probably 6-7 years now and finally got the build under way last month, I'm shooting the finish on it now and it should be up and running in a month or so, and it's good to hear them again to keep the fires stoked and keep me moving forward with it. Great tones and I'm now looking forward to getting them in place! ]]> Just Pickups Drak http://www.tdpri.com/forum/just-pickups/326777-video-demo-lace-sensors-hot-gold-strat.html Tele Neck Pick up http://www.tdpri.com/forum/welcome-wagon/327110-tele-neck-pick-up.html Thu, 17 May 2012 03:08:12 GMT Welcome.

I devoured that stuff in the 90s! I hung out with the Apples after a show in Detroit, very cool people. Show was great obviously.

You like the Lilys at all? Kurt took a lot from Rob(at least that's the impression I get) The Kinksian lyrical detail, the radio ready power pop. Good stuff.

This is is why it's hard to you. Theory / jazz / jazz theory is cumulative - if you don't have the basics down, you can't understand those "simple" concepts you mentioned which are rooted in those basics.

I'm told, but don't really understand yet, that the seventh note determines whether a scale/chord is diminished or not. I'm sorry to say that's about as far as I can go right now.
Erm, kind of. This isn't all exactly right. For one thing, there's a difference between a diminished scale and a diminished chord - neither of which is determined as such solely by the 7th degree. But rather than answer each of these questions, I'd again advise you to start simple and work your way up.

Yes. This is a good starting place. However, sometimes those notes are altered. 1,3,5 from C major scale makes a C major triad. Flat the 3 note and you have C minor triad. Now flat the 5 note (and the 3 is still flatted) and you have a diminished triad.

(2) the triads, or 3-note chords consisting of the 1st/3rd/5th notes of a major scale (again, starting from each of the 12 chromatic starting notes).

(3) diatonic 7th chords. I have no idea what this means!
Yes. You just need to get a few glossary terms down to assist you. You need to learn the definition of "interval," simply the space between notes on a scale. All chords built from the same scale are "diatonic" to that scale/key. C major 7, F major 7, and G7 are all "diatonic" to C, because those three chords all have triads which have notes found in the key of C / on the C major scale. ]]> Tab, Tips, Theory and Technique Scantron08 http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tab-tips-theory-technique/327009-theory-am-i-dumb.html Bill Lawrence Keystone mounting woes, any solutions? http://www.tdpri.com/forum/just-pickups/327115-bill-lawrence-keystone-mounting-woes-any-solutions.html Thu, 17 May 2012 03:02:51 GMT yes, after running a tap through to chase the threads on the problems inserts.

If your cathode resistor drifted down from 470 ohms to a lower value your power tubes could be running too hot leading to early failures.

but who says you need all those notes anyway ? on acoustic maybe most of the time, but on electric the triad is your friend ! add to that, knowledge of the chomatic scale of the key your tune is in and you can sound good and learn unique voicings for accompaniment at the same time.

learn what is necessary to learn to play your instrument well, which includes a lot of "standard" technique everybody does. but use those things to play like YOU play. which (in my case, maybe yours) means doing some stuff differently because your fingers are the size of twinkies. ]]> Tab, Tips, Theory and Technique banjohabit http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tab-tips-theory-technique/327067-big-hands-technique.html My Wallet Cries http://www.tdpri.com/forum/welcome-wagon/326974-my-wallet-cries.html Thu, 17 May 2012 03:00:18 GMT Welcome.
