because we don't have good candidates to choose from. Instead of deciding between the 5 or 6 best potential presidents we get to pick from two, neither of whom are usually the best person available to lead the country. Exactly - choosing the lesser of two evils doesn't exactly inspire one to "get o...

Re: going to louisiana...
any suggestions? Always leave a member of the party with a shotgun to guard the truck. Carry raw meat with which to ward off the roving gangs of pit bulls. Make sure you have a large drink holder to carry the giant cups from the drive through daquiri shops - it is legal to drink and drive, so, enjo...

I tend to be overly tuned to my raw emotions and I take little if any control over them. I think it's a mistake to try to control your emotions as such, impossible really. I don't think you can be overly tuned to your emotions either. Your problem, if you have one, probably stems from this feeling ...

Re: Al = Peace
Just noticed Henry Kissinger won the award in 1973. Now that's a joke.

Re: Songwriting: Breaking Away from the I IV V
I've been exploring my guitar quite a bit as of late and I can't help the irresistible draw to Tonic, Sub Dominant, Dominant. I know that actually discussing music on this message board is a big no-no, but how do you songwriters out there find ways to break free from your comfortable progression pa...

More on the easy method of determining fingering of extended chords: As I said in the first post, you can think of a 13th chord as a dominant 7th chord of the root an octave below a minor chord of the 2nd. I.E. C13 = C7 + Dm E13 = E7 + F#m F#13 = F#7 + G#m ...and so on Then alterations to any of the...

More about extended chords: Sometimes you will see something like Cmaj9. Here the major is referring to the 7th, not the 9th, as there is no such thing as a "major ninth" interval. So you have a major 7th chord with the 9th on top - C E G B D, as opposed to C E G Bb D of the regular C9 chord. Then y...

Here's my handy tip for playing extended chords (i.e. 13th, 11th, 9th): For a 13th chord you just take your standard dominant 7 chord and slap a minor chord of the 2nd on top of it. For example, on a piano, for a C13th chord, play the C7 chord with your left hand and a Dm chord with your right. The ...
