Greetings Y'all!

My name is Charley, I go by OG, I've been on and off with HP for many years.  Life happens but I'm back and I used to be very active and, heh, nothing has changed... I get very excited about guitar music.  The very cool thing about music is one can never ever stop learning.  The great Les Paul said.  The more you learn about Guitar, the more you realize you know nothing... LoL.. love that man... 

I was thinking.  I've searched and used many apps to teach myself more about Theory and other such Musical Oriented activity. 

Do y'all use any to work thru Modes and Positions, Progressions and other such musical stuffs

I actively use 3 at the moment.   GutiarPro 7.5, Neck Diagrams2 and just found another very cool tool app... Fretastic...  It's very cool indeed...

 

Y'all be cool... Cya Round... 😎

 

Hey Charley, nice having you back. I remember you were a very activ member of the community 10 years ago - I was at guitartricks.com then - I left them 2012 because they changed the regulations for instructors there and at the beginning of 2019 I decided to have this community back online. 🙂

I think guitarpro is the best tool to have - and I really recommend that one. 🙂 and thats why I provide the guitarpro files here in the community. 🙂

I think I will work out something to start to understand modes better and how to use them. It's really a topic and it takes it's time to really understand it and to really be able to use them intuitiv in your playing.

So good to be home.  GuitarPro is perfect.  I use GP and a few other tools to help me "get it"  After a few Sevier head injuries due to accidents, I have to work a little bit harder than the normal person.  (I know I'm not normal... hense why I like it here, "I may not look Crazy, but I am"  LoL... anyway.  I use primarily GP7.5 but I also use Neck Diagrams and fretastic.  Between these three I get it.  Example.  I stuck on the positions for minor pentatonic.  Seeing them in different formats helped me put the puzzle together.  The end of one position in a mode is the beginning of another position.  then My big revelation was when I discovered that if you add the 2nd and the 6th to the Pentatonic... Booom... DORIAN!  So now I'm looking at all the relations to the 7 church modes to the Pentatonic. there are many many other modes as well... Seems to make it easier for me.

Understanding scale modes can be the most valuable tool for finding, Key, Chords, etc... It's all there in the scale.  Boring, Yes, Frustrating at times... Absolutely... However the rewards are limitless and If I can figure this out... Anyone can. You should check out fretastic.  I really only use it for quick reference.  It's very good for that.

Back to Practice...

Thanks HP!  Make it Awesome!
