Oh, I didn't know that word! So if I don't hate a tomato, I can at it and after that even eat it. But if I eat a tomato, then I can't at it anymore and even less hate it.
I've written many quotation marks at the Gyms, and they used to work ok... I wouldn't like Tomato to dissapear from your name, Mark! Sounds great, and it matches your shirt even upside down -sorry, inverted.
Here's a question for you, @Benjamin Jack : eating and beating are present participles of eat and beat, respectively. but... aren't those 2 exceptions for the usual t-doubling on any other example of verbs ending with a 't' I can imagine right now? Like 'pat', 'sit' or 'spit', I guess 'at' could also derive into 'atting' instead of 'ating'... Just wondering...
Hello there! Question toothbrush here! I have a serious question: is there a guideline when a person should start transcribing music after he or she done enough of preparation on these exercises in TG? Also, second question: what is average complexity of different genres, so I won't get destroyed by complexity of jazz for example of it's play with scales, borrowing chords and other stuff.
Even if we talk about electronic music for example current Riddim Dubstep or current EDM trap, you might discover that a lot of producers use Phrygian mode for making dark vibes or just use a lot of accidentals that don't fit into a certain scale.
Where one with these skills gained in such website as TG should go next? I have a problems, for example, people say that most popular music based on 4 chords - I, IV, V and vi degrees of a major scale, but every time when I take a song that interests me it deviates from that pattern. for example a song might use iv chord instead of a IV chord, so many other possibilities even in current pop music.
I have only been transcribing for the past couple of months so take what I say with a grain of salt.
1) start with just melodies. There's typically a lot less going on in a melody than in a harmony its easier to figure out 2) figure out the bass. Bass is the next easiest thing to hear in a song and will give you the structure
Harmonies are harder to figure out and take more music theory than hearing ability in my experience sofar.
The easiest songs in my opinion are Folksongs and cheery pop songs. very little going on there usually. Lots of modern rap songs also just do a iv - i progression so not a lot to think about there.
I would like to point out that III -IV - ii would be correct if you are to say the song is in C major, but it is in Amin as you said and the G# you are hearing in the E is because in minor you have a raised 7th to get a semitone leading tone ( in this case G# to A) So actually the progression is V-VI-iv
I'm sad because in 12h the inversions contest is over and I'll have to do the other contests but I like this one better, because it's hard and ruthless.
I am currently taking the Complete Music Course. While it is definitely a valuable resource, I am catching some mistakes in Topic 1#: for example in Lecture 21, the professor designates Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe as an orchestral work by Debussy, a rather prominent error. Just be aware that not all of the information in Topic 1# may be factually accurate.
