Mood: TiredListening To: Ocean of Fire - Walking In The RainI spent a few hours extra instead of sleeping last night with catching up with Kelvyn through MSN, and well, we exchanged information while I was playing S.C.A.R. .. He told me lots of things, like informing me of this little gadget for the guitar by Roland, called the GK2. It's some sort of a midi controller. Use it on your guitar like how you would hook up a Roland guitar synthesizer and you're able to plug your guitar to a keyboard and start using the effects from the keyboard through the guitars instead of playing the keyboard itself.
It's complicated and I'm not even sure I've got that right. I was too shy to ask Kelvyn anyways.
Then he started telling me lots of things about Jazz. It gets pretty much interesting, until he gave me a pop quiz. To search up on this:
C Delta Augmented 11# 13??????????????????????????? That's a chord, of course.. But ..what the hell is
that?????????????????????????
Also, he nearly shared something else with me. Something more confusing, called the
Pitch Axis Theory. Of course, I have no idea what the world is that. Unfortunately, through some sources (and I'm unsure), Joe Satriani came up with this theory.
Pitch Axis.. That sounds kind of cool, but the theorical side of it is extremely confusing.
"Pitch axis theory suggests that for each mode, there is a chord that accompanies it. When that chord occurs, the corresponding mode should be used for the melody or for soloing."
Buh? I'll have to experiment this myself when I have the time..And after I get used to the modes for all this..
But before I do anything else, I should
really concentrate on my Macroeconomics because I kind of dozed off in class..
