Guitar help?

how do i play this from a tab.





13 11 9


------------


11 9 7





the 13 matches up with 11, then 11 with 9, then 9 with 7...





so i understand for that first note i play one string in the 13th fret while playing the other string in the 11th fret, but what about the one in between? i%26#039;d kno to palm mute it if it was an X but its just blank. wtf!
Guitar help?
That middle string should be marked with an X, it%26#039;s a string mute not a palm mute. Basically you just use your pointer finger to press down on the note on the 11th fret and at the same time use that finger to mute the middle string. Make sense?
Guitar help?
Hold the pick with your Index finger and thumb and play the 11, then with your middle finger play the 13, or use your left hand (assuming you play right handed, if not then use your right hand) to cover the string enough so it wont sound, but not so little that it will sound a harmonic.

How do i get into RSAMD?

I%26#039;m 15 years old and female and I%26#039;ve just sat my Standard Grade Music (Scottish equivalent of GCSE) and am expected to get a Grade 1 (highest mark). I sing as my main instument. I%26#039;m doing Higher Music next year and I hope to do Advanced Higher the year after that. After school I would like to go to RSAMD to do either Music or Education of Music, and I hope to be a Music Teacher if not a musician.





Does anyone know what kind of standard I need to be at to stand a chance of getting into RSAMD?





Also, do you know what other courses are available in Scotland which are similar ?





Thanks for your help.
How do i get into RSAMD?
You need to be a good singer?

At least Grade 8 Associated Board (distinction) on your main instrument/voice.





If you apply for music you would be taking the BMus course - this can also be taken at universities where there is less emphasis on performing and a wider variety of subjects studied e.g. history of music.





You can also take an MA or a specific teaching course.





The following links are very useful:





http://www.independent.co.uk/news/educat...





- shows the difference between studying music at uni and conservatoires e.g. RSAMD





http://www.cukas.ac.uk/





- where you apply to get into conservoitres





http://www.ucas.ac.uk/





- where you apply to get into universities





http://www.rsamd.ac.uk/





- RSAMD official website with all the information you need about applying and what is required of you at the audition.





http://www.rsamd.ac.uk/studying/apply_mu...





- the specific page that tells you about the courses on offer and gives information about open days





You should also read their prospectus which can be found on the webpage for up to date information.





Hope this helps: if you have any more specific questions just ask as I am about to apply for uni and conservoitres so should know everything you need to know!

Getting Discovered...?

Ok, I%26#039;ve seen other questions like this but I think I%26#039;m safe to ask it in MY own: Does searching for Acting/Dancing Agents in the yellow pages(phone book) in your city or a city near you any good? I mean I know Shia LaBeouf was discovered that way, but he lived in Cali.





I live in Cleveland, OH and the only place I could think of calling for Agents, Dancing or Acting, is Columbus and Cincinnati. And if I do I have to %26quot;get out there%26quot; and display what I can do...how would I push myself to do it because I%26#039;m on the shy side....Well Youtube help at all?





I need help...Seriously, from someone who can help and answer most of what I%26#039;ve asked above %26gt;.%26lt; Lol please and thanks!
Getting Discovered...?
Well - what CAN you do? If you are too shy to %26quot;get out there%26quot; - then why are you asking about finding an agent? For what purpose? As a performing arts teacher for over 30 years (yup, that%26#039;s my Lifetime Achievement Award hanging%26#039; there on the wall . . ) I would strongly advise you to get SOMETHING together - take classes, work up some monologues, get into productions that display what you can do. It sounds like your agent search is premature - from what you have WRITTEN. Could be you are a monster talent - but you only write about insecurity and shyness. I would not pursue anyone from the Yellow Pages - you need to make contacts WITHIN the business.
Getting Discovered...?
Definitely put some examples of what you could do on youtube, it will help quite a bit if you put a way to contact you.
Reply:If you are on the %26quot;shy side%26quot; then what in the world are you doing in PERFORMING ARTS... when the emphasis is on the word PERFORMING... and even if you COULD get hired from an youtube demo... WHICH YOU CAN%26#039;T AND WON%26#039;T... then how would you PERFORM in front of an audience?





Just because your mother tells you what a great dancer you are, or you have some image of how well you can dance while jumping around in your basement... doesn%26#039;t mean you can cut it in a dog eat dog field like performing arts.





It today%26#039;s PERFORMING ARTS WORLD.. you have to be GOOD... and that means hours and hours of practice and using a TEACHER or a COACH...





Being cute can get you an audition... but after that IT TAKES TALENT if you want to last more than 10 seconds before you hear %26quot;THANK YOU..... NEXT%26quot;

Oh I Have Been There They Are Amazing

Im slowwwwly learning the basics of guitar.?

What is a good way to learn the strings?


Like the fat one is the 6th string- E


Then A, D, G, B, E.


Like isnt there a thing like : %26quot;Every Good Boy Does Good?%26quot;


I dont even remeber what that goes with- but I didnt forget! haha

Im slowwwwly learning the basics of guitar.?
You%26#039;re thinking of %26quot;Every Good Boy Does Fine%26quot; (or Deserves Fudge)...the music notation sequence of the lined notes. The notes in between are F_A_C_E...easy enough to remember those!





Anyway, to answer your questions, I use %26quot;Everything Aaron Does Gets Better Everyday%26quot; I made up the name Aaron and it stuck, I guess you could use Adam or Alex, or just make up your own anagram.
Reply:When I was taking lessons, my teacher told me to remember the strings by: %26quot;Every Athlete Does Good Before Events%26quot;.





But after awhile, you%26#039;ll just remember it as E-A-D-G-B-E. At least I do, and it%26#039;s easy :).





Good luck with learning guitar, by the way, and practice a lot!
Reply:You are in the right path by not %26quot;rushing%26quot; and taking your time to learn the strings of the guitar.


As you have indicated, the Open Strings of the guitar are from high -1st string to Lowest 6th string





Naming the guitar strings from Skinny to the Fat - moving from High to Low Tone


The Notes Are: E B G D A E





From Each Open String Each Fret of The Fret Board Represents 1/2 Tone Higher until you reach


the 12th Fret which then complete a full chromatic


octave of the Open string. So that the 12th fret are


a repeat of the open notes of E B G D A E but a %26quot;chromatic%26quot; octave higher.





Chromatic scales are all the notes including the %26quot;sharps%26quot; and %26quot;flats%26quot; so it will take you twelve frets to repeat the Open string note at a higer tone.





Music for Guitar is almost always written on the


G Clef (Treble Clef) within the Five lines and Four spaces. Adding ledger lines above and below for notes above and below the staff when necessary.





The Line Notes on the Treble (G) clef are


(from bottom to Top)


%26quot;E%26quot;very %26quot;G%26quot;ood %26quot;B%26quot;oy %26quot;D%26quot;oes %26quot;F%26quot;ine


The Spaces Notes are (from bottom to top)


%26quot;F%26quot; %26quot;A%26quot; %26quot;C%26quot; %26quot;E%26quot;





If you learn to recognize notes in the treble clef you will be able to figure out the notes above and below the staff by remembering this simple rule:





Example: The note E is on the 1st line of the staff


then the next %26quot;E%26quot; can be found on a SPACE above for a higher tone %26quot;E%26quot; or a SPACE below for a lower tone %26quot;E%26quot;(An 8ve higher or lower).


This rule applies to all the notes.


If you recognize any note on a line the same note (not tone)must be on a space above and below an 8ve apart.


If you recognize any note on a space the same note (not tone) will be on a line above and below


an 8ve.apart.





I hope this will help you get started.
Reply:Every Good Boy Does Fine Always... and what is so funny about it.?





Guitar strings are EADGBE and you can make up your own sentance... but it%26#039;s best if you HIRE A TEACHER.. they will help you quickly learn how the basics and they won%26#039;t think it%26#039;s all funny or a joke.

Where does Annie Cruz store that water?

It%26#039;s like a geyser.

Do you know of any percussion concertos?

It is for a concerto competition. I would need the full orchestra and piano arrangments available in sheet music.
