How to End Israel War: STOP SENDING THEM MONEY. As Soon as they Run Out of Bullets, WAR OVER... Sure, They Can Still Fight USING STICKS but it's Just Not the Same.

 When Joe Biden Asks for $105 Billion Dollars to Finance War, JUST SAY NO, JOE

If we stop FUNDING Ukraine, They Would Lose, Become Part of Russia and STOP KILLING EACH OTHER... DANG! That Was Easy...

Thankfully, as long as we Have No Speaker in the House of Representatives... NO MONEY FOR WAR... NO MONEY FOR ANYTHING! SO... Joe Biden wants to Buy some BOMBS? What About F*CKING OFF INSTEAD? How You Like THAT? 

Someone ELSE for President 2024 - I Don't Like Any of the Current Candidates. Joe Might Die at Any Moment!  

Keep that in Mind when Voting for Old Men... Trump is Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hell's Door also... and we don't know WHO his Vice President Will Be...

On FaceBorg I Read:

A message of empathy to guitarists when it comes to learning music theory...

It's totally normal to be confused at times. Unlike the piano, the guitar was not designed for an efficient overlap with how theory is constructed!

The guitar was designed for open chords to be easy to play with full-sounding voicings. It's a culture. It's about singing tunes around a campfire with friends or jamming in a garage... It's relatively easy to pick up and the first few open chords are accessible to strum. But the moment you start wanting to go a bit deeper, things get kind of confusing...

Just look at an open E major. It's one of the first chords you learn as a guitarist. It's a triad! Yet you play 6 strings on the guitar when you play an open E major .

Yes... but that's because notes repeat. Got it! So, what are the notes of this voicing from bottom to top? E, G#, B, E, G#, B? NOPE! Because the notes are actually NOT in that order. Sorry. It's E, B, E, G#, B, E.

And look at the fretboard! And how the notes are laid out. On the piano the easiest way to learn a chord or a scale is not to use shapes, it's to learn the notes of the scale, and THEN, just play those notes on the keyboard. It's easier to think of notes which implicitly require learning the theory behind scales first!

On the guitar, a shape is definitely your best option if you want to play quickly and not step 4 hours finding the notes on the fretboard. So you learn shapes and forget about the reason behind them or their notes. I get it!

So many things stack up against the guitarist in their quest to make sense of what is going on, even with the best intentions!

I get why you would give up and just play without thinking about it. I did that too. But I promise you that there is a way to learn theory efficiently in a way that makes sense. It doesn't have to take long, and when you get to the other side, your instrument and music, in general, will open up in a way that's hard to envision.

So if you're motivated to learn theory, or re-motivated after a long break, GOOD FOR YOU! You won't regret it. And don't feel bad if you find it confusing. Theory is not difficult, but it often IS for guitarists, and that's okay.

and then SG Replied:

I often avoid using theory for lessons for this reason. More often than not, it seems to confuse people. I could definitely see how theory is more easy to visualize and approaching on piano. When I explain triads to more intermediate students, I generally use the piano to show it.

and then SOD Said:

Theory is theory. It is applied differently on a piano than guitar. It is applied differently again on a flute or the bagpipes. But it is not harder.

That E Major triad is the same across every instrument. The easiest way for a beginner to play it on guitar is the way you have described but that does not make the concept any more difficult.

If I'm trying to figure out chords on guitar I am certainly guided by scales rather than shapes and I imagine any semi-serious guitarist would be the same.

The guitar originated in Spain early in the 16th century, so I think it's probably a bit of a stretch to say it was designed for open chords (but happy to be corrected).

I think where many piano players do have an advantage is that their learning is structured from a very early stage so they learn basic concepts (correctly) and can then apply those concepts to an understanding of more complicated ideas.

Long Ago the USA Had Pointless Wars... We Were Ruled by Idiots that wanted to Sell a Lot of Airplanes, Chemicals and Weapons... Our Miltary Industrial Complex Took Over the Government and Made the Pentagon Budget HUGE... We Needed an Excuse for Giving the Super Rich More Money So... The USA Invaded: Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq and Afghanistan... and We Accomplished NOTHING!

 

But... We Got Rid of the Idiot President... tRUMP has been Banished to Mar-A-Loser, Florida... and Joe Biden Ended the War in Afghanistan... and He Refuses to Join Ukraine in their war... Go Fight the Russians Yourself!

Top Secret: password=Weird420 userid=Shroom420

Tired of the government spying on you? Create a PRE-hacked free email account at the public library and publish your userid/password on many groups, blogs...

Then, when your account is being used by total strangers you can say with plausable deniability that you didn't send that email, it was one of those wierdos overseas. Not my fault!

Let's suppose you emailed a friend with a message you don't want to be traced back to you... well, SOMEONE set up an email account at the library and signed in as John Smith... who? Not me!

I have not tried this technique... Not ME! I can recommend that you use a common free email service like hotmail or gmail... not care2, they are nice people and I wouldn't want them investigated by the government... When you set up your account use a fake name and fake biographical data... For example: Ed Abbey, the author of "The Monkeywrench Gang" would be honored to be of service...

actually, the post above is really more of a JOKE than a practical method of sending secure email...
