maple!! IC I think... but... all I did was copy exactly what you'd typed in the earlier post... probably you added a LOT of spacers in an attempt to avoid all the "scrunching"! By replacing all of your '.' (periods) with single spaces, it fits into your 'space' much better...

here's the "actual code"... not a braintwister at all!!:
Code:
(code)
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4
C     G       F   F   F       G
(/code)
NOTE that in the example above, you've got to replace the '(' with '[' on the left side of "code" and "/code" and the ')' with ']' on the right side... other than that, it's a cut 'n paste (like your Notepad endeavors!), and spacing, etc., will be exactly as you type it/see it.

anyway, here's how it displays:
Code:
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4
C     G       F   F   F       G
NOTE 2 !!!!!!: the above is NOT what mapletrees was demonstrating... just an example of how he might show what he's talking about!!


Not too difficult, if you're really wanting to show what is done, when and where!! 'Course that's easy for ME to say, since I work with it and understand it!! On the flip side... I have NO IDEA what you're talking about in this thread... REALLY!! Just trying to help you make your point with them what DO!!

Ndaboonies...

the thread has turned to crows and weasels...

wrong numbers lately...over and over...

do you not know the crow rhyme?

getting back to that code stuff...I'll try to figure it out...but later...later said Toad...I'll just leave it in English for now..head is not working well enough to understand what I read very well...

just for the record if anyone is looking at this...the last stuff that is typed out (where you were demonstrating the 'code' thing) there is NOT correct, right? the way it looks on my screen, everything after the first C chord is typed out as happening on the beat...and I wanted it off....

like I said I'll just stick with English...anyone who wanted to could just write out on paper the rhythm and I won't have to worry about the Toasto-matic difficulties....

Exclamation Criminal

just to let you know...the Notepad Project never really took off...

I didn't try to use it here on this forum...but when I try to use the Notepad thingy...the toaster whizzes, whirrrrrrrrrrrrrs, and hums for about 30 seconds, seems to hold up a white flag, and declares something about an 'illegal operation' (I never divided by anything that could be zero...I'm sure of it) and freezes up and/or shuts down whatever I'm doing....

what's that all about?

F on the & of 4 in the first measure

F on the & of 2 in the second measure

F on beat 3 in the second measure

G on the & of 3 in the second measure

which brings you right back to C on the & of 4


let me check my typing.....



We'll just go with this 'in English' way again (for now)....

anyone can write out

& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 on paper and write in the appropriate chord name in the appropriate place if they want to ...

Lightbulb Eureka... I think????

mapletrees... I'm v-e-r-y sorry if I introduced "crows and weasels" into this thread... I guess I do not know the crow rhyme... anyway... with this post, I'll stop interrupting... carry on!! ...and, again, sorry!!

- - - - - -

Okay... following along with your English, maple, I come up with something like this:
Code:
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4
C           G   F       F F G
(If anyone is reading this and it's not right, it's MY fault... NOT mapletree's!!)

- - - - - -

P.S. - Hah! Somewhat patriotic, maple, in an edible sort of way... what with all the whipped white and juicy reds 'n blues!!

P.S. 2. - Sounds like your 'Notepad' executable (program) file is corrupt, what with the 'General Protection Fault' and 'divide by zero' error!!??? I've noted from earlier posts that the 'puter you're using seems to be under someone else's control (maybe through a network and or a firewall?) with lots of safeguards and protections against the user doing much of ANYTHING!??

yes, yes, yes,....

.....red, white, and blue...that was the thrust....

leave the last sentence alone.....or take it to Harmony Central...

Ndaboonies...you're not interrupting...it's not my thread...nor forum.....and you're only trying to help for pete's sake.....

that looks good above...extremely helpful...stay tuned cuz you'll have to put in the W's fof percussive whacks...

NOTE: The W won't represent a chord...

there's no W chord...no matter how high up the neck you go...I won't finish that sentence......again...HC forum stuff...can you figure out who I am over there?

onward...

Why would anyone care to? is a perfectly fine response.....

onward...remember the point temporarily here was to show how a typical instructional book, article, or whatever - would show you how to start connecting triads around the neck to form 2nd guitar parts, fills, etc.....

just pick one of the C major triads....

say this one xx 10 9 8 x.....

Q? can you find an F major triad right above it? right below it?

Ans: yes. yes.

well, if you define right above and right below, Daddy....

and, and, and how do you play these d*$n things.....I'm getting a bunch of unwanted string noise....

just keep at it...just keep at...

don't drool corn flakes at your father.....

One is for bad news

Two is for mirth

Three is a wedding

Four is a birth...

....you don't know this?

Hey? Do such things fall under Paganism?


if we play C major as xx 10 9 8 x

and F major as xx 10 10 10 x take note of how they 'connect'


if we play C major again as xx 10 9 8 x

and F major this time as xx756x take note of how they 'connect'

in both of the examples above, at LEAST one note of the C chord only had to move a half-step or a whole-step to find a note of the following F chord...and actually in one of the examples they shared a common note fingered in the exact same spot on the fretboard.....

Well I'll be d$mn*d ,says Beavis.

Fire!

Five is for riches

Six is a thief

Seven is a journey

Eight is for grief...

Words and numbers.....like....they like....suck and stuff, said Butthead...

What about the other C triads...?

now wait a second, Daddy....first what about that same C triad moving up and/or down to G triads....

okie....we go that way....

Smile At my age I need smoothage, not roughage, says Archie....

if you again play the C chord as xx 10 9 8 x

we can move 'up' to the G chord as

xx 12 12 12 x

or 'down' to the G chord as

xx978x

smooth connection again? movement of a half-step? or whole step? or common tone?
