Christchurch Gearfest - September 22nd 2018

[foal30]

I believe it is a NZG tradition to have at least 1 jam in Am

TG and I have been fluffing around with 12 bars of this:

Am13////
Dm13//
Am13//
Bm7
Dm7
Am13
E7(#9)

That Am13 can also be a F#m7(b5) and then obviously the Dm13 can go to Bm7(b5)

[Bg]

Obviously...

doesn't really matter what chords you are playing, apparently you only need one good note for a solo

Using two may stray into jazz.

I'll just crack on the wah and play every note on the fretboard, at least more than half the notes will be in key

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised nobody has put out some sort of effect that tidies up bum notes.

I mean, we have harmonisers and pitch-shifters so that part is ok, there is autotune, and guitar tuners.

Surely something could be put together to detect the root of a chord (or thereabouts) and nudge up the guitar's output to be within an acceptable range?

I reckon go one step further, play just the root note then it does an arpeggiated solo of doom in whatever key you want

[Kris]

boss already have an arpegiator on most of their multi fx,it pretty hilarious1

I've printed this off and looked-up the 13th chords so I can pretend I already knew them....

I gotta say, all those strange words with numbers in them make little sense to me.

I thought I'd simplify this for y'all.
A5 -> D5 ->A5 ->B5 ->D5 ->A5 ->E5. Can be played on the top two strings in the first 12 frets. So you can bring that Segovia nylon string and join right in.

You're welcome.

[Molly]

I think it needs a nice turnaround:



Someone learn this then teach it to me...

[Lostininverness]

GEARFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can, then I can see what a real one is like! Will bring something along as a comparison.
