So much my life 
last Sunday in the middle of the office, the singer came to me with a sheet of paper « hey this is what we’re playing next ! »
After 6 months in the team, I didn’t even sweat - Quick Look at the song tone, and there you go ! This was quite efficient and simple of course by result was great
I’ve learnt survival skills and not to look at the fretboard (cause I need to discover the song)
You’ve got it going on, my brother! I have a mini-version. We got a new singer so whole new key range. Then we added a last minute guest pro keys player who also MD’d - I’m not great on the fly with an MD. For me: having the MD call on you is like when the hot chick finally talks to you and you have a mouth full of marbles.
Of course I had finally gotten the hang of numbers to deal with all the key changes and then the MD reverts back to notes. But numbers has changed everything for me- I can’t stress that enough- and also getting a grasp of the various scale positions.
But I took a couple Sundays off to lick my wounds and will wade back into the shallow end in few weeks to get back on the bike. My first real set back in the last couple of years. Gotta fail in order to grow though I guess.
The Holy Spirit is awesome- glad He came through in that moment for you. I’m learning to let the Spirit in a little more and worship as I play. Love your post though- and appreciate this thread for the community. God Bless…
Love the marble analogy, lol
I basically learned this number 14 25
Let’s say you’re on low E in the key of G so that means the G will be played on the third fret, and that is the first note of that scale. While you’re looking down onto the a string also on the third fret right below, the G will be the fourth note of your scale. In this case, it’s the note C on the a string. The number 25 is the same so if you’re playing in the key of G the second note of your scale is a which will be on the low E fifth fret so the fifth note of the scale be directly below that while you’re licking down, which will be the fifth threat of the a string, which is the note D.
Then I basically use the Nashville numbering system so the first note of the scale the fourth note of the scale and the fifth note of the scale are your major chords and are basically in every song the relative minor is the sixth note so in the key G that’s E minor
I don’t know I think a relative minor skills like a place where I can do in a free playground that I can just run in when the times right. That number 14. And 25. Make a box and you can deduce everything else based off what you already know. You can move that box up and down the neck. So it’s very functional very adaptable a lot of fun but I need to get some control and better techniques and just learn more overall so I’m hoping to come of beginner to bad ass.
Quick one, I’m supposed to play this tomorrow night… and I have absolutely no clue which cord I should be playings (skip the reading music chapter at school…)
Can you please help ?
It looks like it’s in G.
Assuming that’s a piano part (not missing another bass part) root notes go |E|DE|EG|GD|E|B| with all the changes happening on beat 3.
Key of E minor based on all the E chords (relative minor of G major)
thanks a lot !
It’s the only part I have, most probably piano / voices - Will go with your proposal.
my challenge was probably due to the fact that the youtube videos are not using this chord but probably another one and therefore I was not intune
fun to see that you both answered something different G / Em but that at the end, the 2 scales are based on the same notes (I had an ah ah moment on this topic a couple of months back)
