Comment on Harmonization patterns all over the place by Linsolv

What he means by “A7″ is a chord. I’m not sure how you’d fret it, because I’m a SUPER NEWBIE at guitar, but it’s essentially A-C#-E-G in the case of A7.

You should try to get at least a mild base of music theory under your belt. I learned music theory as a singer, and now I’m making an ass of myself trying to learn the guitar, but I’ve felt like my music theory has helped me “play around” whenever I get bored or annoyed by any particular thing I’m trying to learn.

“i want to play like jimmy hendrix” — Wow! So would I, but that would be like saying I want to be as smart as Albert Einstein.

Getting “fatter” strings (diameter) and de-tuning (tune down half a step) plus adding a “Wah-Wah” pedal will help, but nothing will replace your determination and drive. You will have to Practice and Practice and Practice…and Practice — until your finger tips are red and raw and ready to bleed (sometimes they will bleed).

If you feel you can do this, there are several good dvd’s out that will guide you in the right direction. Claude’s being one of them. Good Luck!

I am a slighly above average musician, and a multi-instrumentalist, I sound fairly well, however one thing I would really enjoy is instruction on tone including manipulating amp specs, Treble, Mid, Reverb and tone knobs on electric instrument, I really respect what you do to help aspiring guitarists and offer my thanks. I haven’t been playing the guitar all that long, but have been playing the Violin for a number of years, so I am simply interested in how to produce certain tones because obviously electric instruments are new to me. Also you are a talented individual and I wish you the best with your investment in music education.
Sincerely,
Raul Morales
