if you're not interested in music theory thats fine, just simply don't post there's no need to be negative at all. for example someone is has a thread entitled 'anyone stupid enough to sell their green day ticket'. now i would say the complete opposite why would anyone listen to such a horrible band. i know most people on this thread have not posted anything other than garbage which has nothing to do with music untill i posted something music related then all of a sudden ' hes posting something music related' 'STOP HIM'. You don't know maybe some people are really intersted in music theory on this thread entitled MUSIC FAQ not TALK GARBAGE. so i'm sticking to my guns on this one.

simply put:
NO I WILL NOT GO AWAY

sorry sir, i was only joking sir..

it was a question, but i already knew the answer to it and it is a question i was asked on the bus before so i answered it here. the guy had a theory test at perth college and didn't understand it and i was telling him how the modes were related and the question was 'how many sharps in the E harmonic minor scale'
and considering every mode is merely an inversion of the major scale (all based on formulas) i thought i'd post here.

But surely the thread is for people who are genuinely stumped to ask questions? Not for touchy, self-important, know-it-all pricks to show a rudimentary grasp of modal theory.

Since you already *knew* the answer and there was no-one else asking that question, what makes it a "Frequently Asked Question" precisely?

cause i was asked it once and wrote it down for someone who was studying music then pasted it into this thread

it makes it more of a question than the first few post that were about rectums or something

man have you ever actually listened to Chopin? did he cunts.

How fast is v_fast?

[v_fast_drummer]

yeah i am really into neo-classical shred but i respect the fact that it all originates from these early composers such as chopin etc.

but if you think chopin is some 'ballet' classical crap, your wrong! . I used to think that about classical music myself until recently. bach is shit fast, and i mean FAST, and his melody kicks seroius ass. i started getting into it when i watched the film crossroads(the guitar based one not britney spears) and at the end there's a great solo. i later found out thats is a direct rip from some old dead violin dude called paganini. that solo floors any other 'rock' solo easily.

how fast is V_fast

probably bach tempo!

[robs]

Chopin isn't anything like Bach man, apart from the fact they both play piano and have silly names.

A lot of Bach is fast, but most of Chopin's work was slow, for people to dance to. Waltz's and mazurka's. Or 'ballet classical crap'.

edit: anyway, this is definately not an FAQ. It definately is a load of arse.

hey, there is this bach composition i listen to and i have no idea what its called i was wondering if you knew it because you are familiar with his music i'll give you a few stats about the track

1.at time index 2:22 there is a big long pedal tone sequence. and

2. it lasts exacatly 7:42

i know its a really popular one of his so i'm sure if you listen to a few of his most well known pieces and fast-forward to the end you could help me find out what it is. this is my favorite one and i hope to arrange it for guitar and stick in some totally sick blast beats in it. they are some great ideas in it to for crushing power chords w/distorion and then fast double kick. even tho bach wasn't much of a drummer there is plenty of room for some 32nd notes between those 'power chord' like rhythms in that composition.

You do not bad for someone typing one-handed.

is it maybe the brandenburg concerto? it has a tonal sequence at 2:22ish but the pedal is quite short. have you heard the jacques loussier trio?

p.s: please dont arrange it for metal guitar.

[Rebelius]

Brandenburg Concerto no.4 part 1 (allegro) is 7:43 but i doubt that's what your on about cos there's nothing special about it around 2:22. there's hundreds of tracks by bach so people will need a bit more to go on, what sort of sound, what instruments playing etc. also, different recordings will be different speeds and hence different lengths.

My guess would be Bach's Toccata and Fugue but i have no idea how long that piece is.

[Afro Joe]

well theres a pedal in the violin (held note in the higher register?) on that one around 2:24, so give or take a few seconds for different versions. it could be toccata and fugue but the only versions i have are around 9:20

[Rebelius]

toccata and fugue is good and pretty fast so that's all i was going on.

don't know what a pedal is.

just looked on Bach CDs for tracks about that lenght.
