as i sit here many a night and surf the screen of green i often contemplate what could make this emerald bueaty even more so.
the lightning that flows from mjøllner true and strong has struck down on my brain so i now stand before thee oh nomadic one infinite ruler of all prestine and I a mere tabber of the metal besetch thee to hear our pleas and cries and to lend a moment of your untouchable time. if you make a section dedicated to theory and the in-depth of knowledge of music there will be much rejoicing and once again this emerald isle we have come to call metaltabs will be full and complete, the one known as powersofterror seems a worthy canididate out of us to rull over such a place in the light of your absence.
i offer this sacrifice as a gift and await your answer





its not that big a deal just thought it might be cool to have but i guess the threads could just go into guitar/bass forums?

mr cat avatar guy, that shall persuade the great nomad I to adhere to your request...

seriously thats not a bad idea

I never thought I'd say this but BRING ON THE THEORY!

__________________

WTF, but yeah

I'm gettin' horny just thinking about it.

That's a great idea!!!!

__________________

wow i didnt really think anyone would give a fuck about it, who all here knows a decent amount of theory? im taking a class right now and im getting a fucking A+ no shit

__________________

I know a good amount of theory. None of my friends here do though, so it's quite depressing sometimes.

I think a theory section would be a beautiful addition, and I would be sure to visit there and help everyone who needs help. It would probably be my favorite section if it were made.

__________________

OK, I made a poll on this.

__________________

Thank you, oh wise and glorious one.

__________________

I feel that I can always learn much more about theory seeing as I just kinda pick up the terminology and ideals here and there. I mostly just practice, trying to make things work together, only later learn that someone else figured it all out 600 years or so earlier. I say bring it on.

__________________

I think that it will be a good idea because theory encapsulates so much and a simple sticky thread in the Guitar Forum could not give it the attention it warrants. The new forum could provide more specific threads and allow people to really learn what they want to learn. I say yes.

__________________

...where?

EDIT...oh...nvm im a dumbass

__________________

Yea, I think that'd be great. More people would talk theory if we had a seperate section for it. Look at Vocal Zone, that worked well.

__________________

haha im listning to tnt and ur avatar is punding to the beat...


anywho
i think it would be good, cause people would be able to write better aswell. im not saying that you need theory to write good but its another weapon in the arsenal

__________________

I LOVE that idea. I visit the guitar/drum/vox section quite a bit, but I would check out the theory section everytime I came here! Actually I would prolly be lazy and glance at it every now and then, hopefully not. I voted yes.

Sure would be nice if my internet was up by the time it gets put up.

so nomad whats the verdict?

__________________

I'll add the new forum, give me a week...

__________________

Sounds good, i know fuck all about theory, i never really listened to my music teacher, and he was really coked up, and never got it through to us, all i really cared about in music class was the practical stuff ..

So yes this would help, good idea.

Thank you so much Nomad!

i took music theory 1 and 2 my freshmen year of highschool, im a senior now, so i can remember a bit of it.

__________________

Well I am looking forward to this new section. Needs to start with the very basics for people like me that only know parts of theory so that we can put the pieces together and teach ourselves. I just pactice pactice pactice so when I read into some theory I get it but I'm still dead confused most times about the big picture. Always seemed folks were just making the stuff up. I know there is a method to it all as a whole but I say if it sounds good just play it. I feel is if I'm just missing something though by not knowing more.

__________________

well what do you consider the basics, i consider it to be being able to read sheet music

__________________

I can manage that... slowly

I figured that out many years ago, but I have to look at it for a second longer then others before I remember what the music is. Most tabs on the other hand I can read and play at the same time if I have heard the song before.

__________________

yea, i cant sight read (playing it and reading it at the same time) but i can read it really easily, when the section gets up ill make a thread about it if noone else does

__________________

My wife makes me mad with envy 'cause she can just look at something on sheet music and play it near perfect while reading it. Even without ever hearing the song before! I tried it out on her with some Megadeth sheet music I have and she played most of it perfect on her violin and I know she had never heard the song before

Problem is for her though is she can't play shit without the sheet music in front of her. She thinks I'm special 'cause I play everything from memory

__________________

that always baffled me, how these big wig people that graduated from berkley with honors and all this shit HAVE to have to sheet music to play it and then you have these crazy fucks up on stage with half their brain gone from drugs and drunk off their ass playing this 10 min solo prefectly from memory

__________________

give her some steve vai or becker to play on violen and watch her squirm!

__________________

That's what I'm talking about too. What confuses me even more is that she says just can't feel what to play next She knows music theory, but she can't teach me because she says I know it already. I told her that's BS and that she is just a lazy musician... and that started a fight. So now I will never again ask her to teach be something because she is just like a CD player imo. Plays things perfect, but a CD play can't teach you anything or play anything for that matter with out the CD, or it my wifes case the sheet music.

Edit: I would love to give her some Becker sheet music

__________________

she cant fell what comes next?! what a load of crap! when im playing i never think about it cause i can feel what comes next...its hard to exaplin but i know you know what i meen.

how can she claim to be a musician and not be able to feel the music??

__________________

I know just what you mean about feeling what comes next, but she really can't and I'm starting to think that most other formal musician are the same way. As if they learn that way of something; like not to get ahead of the music on the sheet?

I guess most metalheads just use The Force when we play. Like Jedi musicians

__________________

haha, or maybe its case without theory all we have to go on is feeling and emotion so we do, then when we are masters at that we learn why we feel like that?

You could be onto something about this. I wonder if it has ever been research before in music?

A Theory forum, hmmmm...... not a bad idea, Im for it.

I think Darko or Powers or both should get the modship of a Theory Forum. They are both regular members and both seem best equiped for the task. AnubisXY knows his stuff but probably doesn't visit regularly enough to be made mod.

Darko... forum regular??

AHAHAHAHAH FUNNAY!!!!1

Powers has disapeared to

by the way, on the mod thing, i was entirely joking. not only do i not care to be a mod, but i know almost zero theory. only the basics.

NO! I REFUSE.

...You. I vote you. And powers. Fuck Dylan.

bwah

ILL GET RIGHT TO IT!

Uh, Mansley and powers sounds like a good mod team. I also feel I can get behind Jarrod's 'Fuck Dylan' proposal.

john hasnt been around too often latly though

__________________

I think that would be cool, but ehhhhh. Make it someone who knows a lot of theory. Does Andrew or John?

__________________

John knows everything their is to know.

DUH!

__________________

Cool then. I didn't know who you were talking about.

__________________

i wanna be a mod, and i am on all the time, plus it would be kinda cool, cus i have taken music theory, and i belive i might be an asset to the forums. mansley and powers should definitely be mods for the new section

__________________

yeah, maybe bring some new guys in. mansley fo shizzle and why not moonraven, guitar_demon or younguitarist?

About the sheet music and feeling what's next, I think the thing is that when you've got sheet music, you don't need to memorize it all, and then you don't.
I've been playing the saxophone for some 7 years now, and I can only remember how to play a few things of everything I've played through the years. But if you gave me sheet music for it, I'd be able to play it right away, mostly.
I've also been playing guitar for what is it? 4.5 years I think, and while I can't just play anything straight "out of my head", if I got to hear a song I had played earlier, I'd probably remember how to play it.

The thing is, you don't memorize when you don't need to. When you've got sheet music, and you're able to read it faster than you're going to play it, you don't need to fill up your memory with that. However, since it isn't really "accepted" among "bands" (as in rock/metal/pop/whatever-bands, where you'd play guitar) to have tabs on stage, you have to memorize, and then you do.

[EDIT]
Oh, and I voted Yes. And I'd say Mansley and/or Powers would be good mods, if they're up to it.
