Music Theory application

How long does it take to acquire a solid understanding of music theory (Given that you are learning it everyday and practicing a fair amount as factors) and actually apply it to your guitar playing? I know this is a vague question that will get alot of cliche answers.. but is music theory a very har...

Lets talk scaling/fills/etc

I dont know anything about music theory. I read a tab, and practice the hell out of it till I get it to sound good. However, Id like to learn more about scales, creating my own fills, or just mixing things up. How do you know what key a song is in, and which scale to use? What do I need to know? Tha...

DDTW Recording

Sorry about the reverb in this clip, I can redo it and eliminate that if it helps. I only had 60 secs to do this (Sound recorder) so Its not the actual step by step of the sound, but it will give you a good idea on the rythm and chord changes throughout the song. Hope this helps anyone who might stu...

DDTW Video?

Hello, Jkanter, would it be possible to put a video up for the Dont Drink the Water tab? It seems easy enough, but I can't get the timing of the strum patterns right. If you could do this, I will give the site a donation or whatever. I really, really need to learn this song. I don't know how differe...

Dec. 13th Show

However, the setlist was great so I had a blast! I dont remember everything they played.. But Ill try to throw some out t...

Scope of Music. ("Good" Musicians)

There seems to be a lot of talk on this forum of what "good" musicians are. I understand that most people that play guitar.. and any other instrument for that matter are very egotistical.. I mean, no offense to anyone at all, nothing personal... but you dont have to look past half the messages on th...

If anyone can say that Dave Matthews isnt a great musician.. much less "a not very good one".. and keep a straight face.. theyre a better man then I. Thats like saying Walter Payton wasn't a very good Running back. The man revolutionized the Guitar, and his lyric writing is absolutley mind-blowing. ...
