they got lucky. the official solo. they kinda wrote it. hotel california is like the solo, isn't it. is there any other song that's as much the solo? it's just too officially the solo. you can say something like Back in Black - ACDC, but it's a joke in comparison.

i meant, it's likely an e♭ minor chord with a major 6th added (C). to me, the major 6th in a tonic chord (whichever octave it may be in) does imply that you might wanna move to a IV chord later, because the major 6th is also the major 3rd of the IV chord. that's what i was getting at.... but it really ain't universal, it's just a blues/jazz staple as i tried to say. it just....sounds nice, you know in this case, you can shift the lowest B♭ down a wholetone and you get exactly that, a jazzy IV chord function. god, it's so easy to cause more confusion than help with this notation stuff if you're not on point. my bad.

Eb major 6th chord. (1st inversion) if you move the low Bb down a whole tone while keeping the other notes the same you get the IV minor 7th(+9th) function. that's the tension thing kinda. it's a bluesjazz thing.

hey mi, not reading all that right now, but fyi pacifica was my first guitar in 2001ish. my dad had bought it for himself in midlife crisis, didn't end up playing it, so i got it set up for lefty a year later. i loved it. i'm not a guitar pro at all but it served me very well. my second guitar was an epiphone les paul, because they were supposedly epic for hard rock, metal and stuff... well, the sustain clearly was better than the pacifica, but i never fell in love with it the same way. i painted a lot of stuff on the pacifica's pick guard and made it sorta grimey (my guitar teach hated it, haha.) painted a lot of cell structures on it and dubbed it "cellular guitar". i think it's the only guitar i had i ever really loved. but well, most of my learning on guitar happened in the first two years, i got decent very fast through obsession, and when i got to know sequencers in 2004 that quickly faded. can't really vouch for its quality objectively. just a well priced guitar that's perfect for beginners, if it's anything like what they sold 20 years ago. it's probably a bit better now, right?? yamaha is kinda no name generic but decent quality, and you can make it your own. i did it with eddings and such ibanez is a name that rings a little more. like, satriani or steve vai. haha. but what is that worth for entry models. idk i'd guess they're both good. the sustain on the pacifica 2000ish model definitely was pretty poor, that's one objective thing i can say. idk if it's better today. but i didn't care about perfect lead sound so much. in all honesty the pacifica would've served me well for anything i ever did. i sold it on the street for like 30 bucks in 2016, while giving up my apartment to travel. that was stupid. i shoulda kept that guitar.

can you upload an mp3 for us rural folks with shitty cellphone 3G connection? (i'm likely the only one, but still)

i like this one.

roxxor.

rip! he joins club 30...i dunno how big that club is but it is inhabited by bon scott, and that's something. roxxor on!

hey larry, thanks for the encouragement. reading that made me happy. i got nothing to send in. my last musical productivity burst is 4-5 years back, and it was all originals back then. in case i regain my musical marbles, i sure have a few remixes in mind. tunes i wanted to do well forever. starcraft terran music is a good example. that stuff is hard to do justice. i'll probably have to do a lot of fun and easy stuff to get to a level where i can do the kind of (OC) remixes i envision, again. back in 2008 it was OLR that made that possible. today...i gotta find my own projects to get me back in shape. maybe this winter. crossing fingers as well.

while i am at it - this, 5 years later, was the next thing that convinced me that a really good starcraft terran remix could be one of the best things to ever grace the earth. good ol' relliK on keys btw. Artist: Rellik (Adam Lederer) [ReMixer] - ReMixes - OC ReMix o hey, he has 4 OCRemixes just like me.

i know it isn't, especially today. i think this was submitted in 2003ish though, and i loved it back then. still like it. always wanted to make a good starcraft terran remix since. i just randomly came across it on youtube and thought hey, why not make a stupid thread. i think it has a lot of mojo for being such a simplistic semi - cover, and it would've been well liked. i know that's not what ocr is about, ofc. maybe someone else can think of something. i used to listen to many other failed submissions back then... sometimes the passage of times changes things a lot. maybe a judge has some choice tunes that didn't make it but became absolute favorites of theirs. one thing i always thought is that if a remix is very similar compositionally but has exceptional "mojo" for lack of a better explanation, exceptions should be possible. not that i'm saying this mix is it - just in general.

hey and for communication's sake... anyone got any other decisions from the panel they resent? we're all old and grownup about this stuff right, so let's just have a ball. you can also name your own submissions, all is fair game.

yeah i know it's rough&basic arrangement wise, but IT WOULDA BEEN FAKKIN ICONIC. i might have to remix this remix and submit it

what kind of flute is it youre playing?

haven't watched the vid but likely he meant Bb and F with "both". both those chords would be functions of the G minor scale. though the F could also be a function of G mixolydian mode, while Bb more significantly demands a change to some scale including the minor third interval of G. meaning the latter is definitely a more "decisive" chord. you can easily play a lotta stuff over a simple G - F chord structure, and be very ambiguous about whether it's a major or minor G scale. I - bVII is good for bluesy stuff eg., meaning you play around with the "blue notes". with G - Bb however, you're way more clearly going from a major G to a minor G scale, and back again. if i were you i would play around a bit with the classic 12 bar blues scheme. even just a simple I - IV progression is enough to see how gratifying it is to eg. change from a major third to a minor third, whenever the change to IV happens. that's blue notes. "the blues" is a good conceptual counterpart to the whole diatonic or greek scale stuff. it enables a better understanding of most of our contemporary 20th century music, without being too technical. rock, metal, jazz, you name it.

a thread about all guitar solos you deem god-like. or just impossibly good, if you dislike the mention of god. i just got randomly forwarded to this '88 concert of Satriani, and the bluesy solo during the first song, Ice 9, which slowly builds up, has been holding a special place in my guitar solo mind temple for a long time. starts at around 4:20. you kinda have to play the whole song to appreciate it fully, but anyway. how do i embed a video here with the correct play start, like 4:20? i am too stupid. edit: also noteworthy is that the creatures on Joe's shirt look as much as shyguys from SMB 2 as they do look like wood spirits from Princess Mononoke. I wonder who did that design, in '88!

uh, what bass? i think this is perfect anyhow. kevin macleod is like a creative commons composer or something, right? featured in many mobile games and the like. link to the original pls? it's great as a bassless tune. but it would be SO MUCH BETTER if prominent bass elements were to join in after 2 minutes, and you go for 5 minutes total runtime. or so. just an idea. drums and stuff sound crispy nice bla. it's all good. i say keep what you have then add some creative bass stuff to make it a full long tune. that could work.

have you played TF1? i remember a nice LAN where we played TF1 with like 8 ppl. i must've been 14, and it was my birthday, i think. so, around 2000. counter-strike was the shit back then.

i wouldn't have figured this out easily...it's too quick to count the 8ths for me, in my head... but if i count in 4ths, it clearly goes up to 6 beats with the 6th cut short. so yeah, sounds like eleven!

GENNY VST/FL Studio Plugin V1.16 Update! - GENNY Chiptune Forums (wonthelp.info) wow, i seriously didn`t know about this plugin. it`s what i always wanted. a full megadrive synth, including the sample channel and the master system sound chip. and it didn`t stop there...the dude actually made a native fruity loops version. meaning i can use the slide notes and pan per note inside FL. this is insane man. almost like a dream. i will be focusing on musicking with this for a good while. if anyone is interested in a passaround collab thing just using GENNY inside FL, i`m totally down. just have fun, and learn some FM on the way.

thanks gario. well, to me it's kinda pop electro with some EDM bits and Acid freakouts interspersed. idk if that's non-traditional, but it was different enough for me to stay interested and keep working on it. i'm glad you think it works, anyhow. the greatest revelation for me in connection to this tune was how groovy 707 drums sound, with minimal mixing. i think i'll be using those more down the road. the ending is the weakest link to me. i love the 4:07 freakout bit, and the guitar stuff is ok, but a) i would've liked to record some actual guitar, but got frustrated with my super rusty playing, and b) i think the tune deserves a more drawn out climax, and the fadeout is just not that interesting. what i needed to know is that i can still write stuff that keeps my interest, without exactly reinventing the wheel. i really needed that, man. and now i gotta start on the next tune soon, to know i can repeat it. i'm wishing for like an album's worth of tunes this year, to listen to while going for walks or travelling. really miss that feeling.

this hasn't happened in a while. i'm happy. it's only 95% done, gotta iron some things out. exporting on my netbook takes forever, and pretty close to maxing out it's tiny cpu. enjoy (or not)!

i will listen to the OST again. zero promises though. my track record after signing up for a project is horrible.

i liked queen's gambit.....especially all the chesterfield cigarettes, which i smoke plenty of these days. one of my very numbered friends recommended the tetris movie to me, but i don't trust it. seems cheezy. and i have no flix or nothing anymore. even though queen's gambit was purely fictional, it seems like the tetris movie was indirectly inspired by it, somehow. or not?
