theory

This particular link will take you to chord sub theory stuff but it also has lots of other good info for you. I have found it really helpful and hopefully you will as well. All of my love, Ryan aka Rock Lobster. XOXO

Intermediate Music Theory This thread is for you bassists who know the basics, but want to know what scale is used over more complex chord symbols. First, I’ll break them down into 5 basic categories: 1. Major (Ionian) 2. Dominant 7th (Mixolydian) 3. Minor (Dorian) 4. Half-Diminished...

Hey guys. I'm going to be posting some tutorials, tips, etc. on theory. I thought it'd be best to start with the basics. Feel free to PM me with theory questions I'll start with Chord symbols and upper extensions Most chord symbols have 3 parts: Root Note Quality Suggested Upper...

Ok so I've been doing research on diminished scale theory and I feel like I'm going in circles. I know there are "half whole" dim scales and "whole half" dim scales. I know that there are "half" dim scales (with a circle and slash symbol) and "whole" dim scales (with a circle symbol). I know...

Hi all. Would any of you know of a good resource (online preferably but I'll read a book too) for me to learn some Bass Guitar Theory. I can read music (at about the 3rd grade level) and I sorta know which frets correspond to which notes in EADG tuning. But I think I really need to learn more...

I'm liking this new layout here! :) Anyways, I've slowly been getting into jazz, especially since it's a huge influence on post-rock as well as many of my favorite bassists in prog rock. Unfortunately, I still have yet to get any lessons (hopefully in a few months!) so I was wondering if...

Hi all, I currently play in a gigging band, and have previously had a few lessons, but in all honesty haven't had a structured practice regime or paid much attention to learning much theory or scales. I've been more of a 'play it by ear 'til it sounds right' kinda guy. I find that I am...

I was just thinking about what actually goes on in a head and i was wondering why you never really see rigs that are made up of a simple quality preamp with no extras, a 31 band graphic eq and a power amp. i see no reason why this sort of thing isnt the most versatile tone wise, simple...

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm looking for some very good and intuitive learning materials for a novice to intermediate bassist to really get to know and understand music/chord/fret board theory for the bass; as well as material for learning to play by ear and jam with...
