All the scales you need

well for some reason U-G wouldn't post this but I'll post it here so people can still have it.

Okay, in my opinion people should have unstopped access to music,
these are every single (to my knowledge) scale. I've listed them
in the Key of C. They are all ascending but to descend just play
it backwards (except for the Melodic Minor) and there may be one
or two repeats. And if you are looking for a specific scale press
Ctrl+F and type it in! 109 scales that you should have access to,
it will help your hand and fingering *snicker* techniques :-P and
writing some crazy awesome licks!

Zydeco Music

As some of you know I live in Texas and we in fact do have a lot of Cajun population, what sort of fret work would work well with zydeco music? I've been trying some walking bass lines, any other ideas?

National or Resonator?

Current mood: curious

I've been jamming with some friends lately and need some advice, I'm planning on purchasing a dobro (if you don't know what it is...don't offer advice) Haven't decided on whether to go with a National (all metal) or Resonator (wooden hollowbody) any advice? specific brands to research?

the "power chord" argument

Current mood: aggravated

I have many musicians that are close friends, from bluegrass and blues to death metal. The main argument between the guitarists is people ragging on punk guitarist for their "overuse" of power chords. Kids, if you want to play "All the small things" until your ears bleed, do it! But realize that doesn't make you "respectable" in the guitar world, learn your scales and music theory (all of those face melting solos are nothing more than alter blues and pentatonic scales). And if a metal head tries to rag on you for using power chords, remember that when they tune to Drop D and play the usual chords, they're playing power chords, it's still the same notes. But everyone needs to respect other guitarists abilities and INABILITIES, just because you can play eruption on a mandolin doesn't mean everyone can, and they know how to do things you may not. Remember, music is all feeling, and to each his own.
