Describe your politics!

[tar1984]

I'll try Am over C when I go home. I didn't know you can use a minor scale over a major chord progression. I don't play lead though, in my defence.

I don't play lead though, in my defence.

You now know enough to do so.

 

[Maidmarian]

Yes.
Unfortunately I did see what you did.

We ALL saw it VP.

 

[danny la rouge]

We ALL saw it VP.

I don't care, though. See, this is me not caring:-

 

[tar1984]

You now know enough to do so.

My fingers aren't fast/co-ordinated enough.

 

[Maidmarian]

May I draw the honourable gentleman's attention to this post >>>

Or for those still following the derail, at least we triad. See? See what I did?

You care alright mister !

Doesn't bother VP.

 

[krtek a houby]

I can't class my politics. They don't fit into a neat little box. I guess you could have called me tree hugging pink wristed leftopian wannabe a few years ago but the constant infighting within the left (typified on various threads here) has put me right off.

I haven't crossed to the dark side but I'm disillusioned with the so-called "left".

Since 1959, opposing the tyranny of chords has been the blue note.

Totally crap rag, that was!

 

[MikeMcc]

I put other, I don't think I fit into any of those boxes. It's too simplistic

 

[smokedout]

At least we tried.

or you suggesting trotsky wasnt trying at kronstadt

i heard he had one hand tied behind his back

when Danny talks of playing Am over a C major position he fails to realise that his blind adherence to the pentatonic scale means that he's actually playing C Major, admittedly with some fundamental notes missing, but C is still the root of his position

I heard something slightly more scatological.

Poor Danny, outed as an anti-mixolydianist!

 

[rioted]

I wouldn't describe Labour as being leftwing tbf.

Anarchist for me. Though that may not be the label attached to me by others.

 

[Fictionist]

Intelligent

 

[TAE]

Social Democrat ... that is to say I believe society as a whole should collectively choose to look after the vulnerable.

 

[DotCommunist]

Sober, I am socialist with an anarchic bent. A few beers down I am authoritarian communist.

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm an Aeolian-Dorianist.

Poor Danny, outed as an anti-mixolydianist!

Maoist-Jamahiriyaist, but not in the weak liberal way of the Chinese and Libyans.

bollocks, your position is old-fashioned Ionian-Aeolian a fundamentally reformist tradition

now were you take consider the harmonic minor of A, or even, if you were brave enough, the melodic, whilst risking all the discord that that may entail then you might be considered radical

as it it you simply follow the first, fourth and fifth position with the occasional nod to elements of the Aeolian tradition but without truly ever taking on board its key elements

essentially you are status quo

 

[smokedout]

personally my feeling is that until we explore a fully chromatic system then we will remain in the political wilderness anyway

 

[gentlegreen]

I'm a hypocrite.

It's my view, comrade, that chromaticism is something that can be explored as superstructure to the Aeolian-Dorian base.
