    All things Snarky Puppy

    I know that there must be a bunch of fans on here, seeing how you've introduced me to so much great music. For the uninitiated: Outlier (wtf is going on rhythmically just before the sax solo?) Lingus And they've done one (I suppose) album with singers, out of which this one is a favorite...

    Help with transcribing this amazing Take Five arrangement

    So I finished learning Assef Levavy's (i.e. the guy with the two dogs who runs the LickNRiff channel on YT) arrangement of Take Five, and then the solo too. I wanted to learn something harder, so: Anyone up to transcribe this improv-y one I found? You might find it interesting yourself...

    "In Bb" -- make your own Godspeed!

    in Bb 2.0 - a collaborative music/spoken word project Quick idea of what it is; someone took a bunch of two-minute videos using only the notes in the key of Bb major and put them all on a page for you to play and pause to your heart's content. Sounds surprisingly like GY!BE. :)

    I want to learn how to play this sort of stuff

    Flamenco, yes, but without too much of the pyrotechnics. How do I even transcribe this? I've never done transcriptions before, but now I suddenly want to.

    What notes do you get when you pick behind the nut?

    In the book Kitharologus, the author makes mention of this extended technique whre you fret, say, 10-10-12 with your middle, ring and pinky on the lowest three strings and strum them with your thumb (or a pick, doesn't matter) while plucking behind the fingerrs (i.e. between your LH fingers and...

    A (seemingly) new way to pick harmonics

    Okay, so the idea is you grip the pick between your thumb and middle finger and touch the string with your index at whatever point you need to to get a harmonic, and pick. I'm playing around with this, seems interesting. It's also sorta different from pinches, I guess.

    What do you use your ERG tremolo bars for?

    RGIX28FEQM owners, convince me to get one

    Or don't. I've thought long and hard. The M80M would be too big a leap for me, and not a good choice for a first electric (because of the ~4.5" jump in scale length, and I like big chords -- and I'll have to buy an amp and whatnot too), so . . . the only other 8s available here are the RG8 and...

    Thumb sweeping help (and two little sweep questions)

    I want to be able to sweep with my thumb//fingers, like bass players do, because I like the sweet toan it gives compared to the percussiveness of any pick attack - an example being this barely-human person on YouTube. (Yes, :bowdown:s are in order even if you think the music is noise, because...

    Exivious appreciation.

    I'm new to them, looks like a new favourite! Where do I go from here? Also, some help on what interesting musical / theoretical ideas they use would be nice.

    My intervallic "fretboard learning" journey started yesterday

    So I've taken it upon myself to "learn the fretboard" using intervals, and I've found that learning to play a certain chord quality in every possible way at a specific position is a great exercise for this. (I'm in perfect fourths tuning, and I still don't have my high E/F. Yoda voice...

    All-hammer legato vs. "traditional" legato?

    I'm interested in your thoughts on this. Also, when some of you (Maniacal and redstone come to mind) recommend trilling for consistent LH (and RH, if you like!) improvement, do you mean all-hammer trills?

    I found a tab of Psyopus' Imogen's Puzzle part 1, polyrhythm help!

    Okay, so, first off, none of it is hard to play as long as you play one hand only. :lol: It's pretty slow, so that helps. However, I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around 7:3 and 7:5 and whatnot - 3:2 is just about fine. Any help/tips/whatever?

    Behold the Arctopus theory.

    They're a killer instrumental technical progressive unicorn metal band. I've been getting into them lately (i.e. since yesterday). I've only heard Exospacial Psionic Aura and Transient Exuberance. Gonna grab the Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning and Skullgrid albums asap after my finals...
