[jazzguitar] Re: Help memorizing sharps and flats
IgorD
Hi! Probably this will help you: I suggest you to learn chord notes
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
around chords you take or play over, if you do so you will know that when you take Eb7, for example, then here is the rote here is the third, fifth, seventh. After this it's much easier to see the scale, you already know where the chord notes [and what they are :)], so just add fourth, 9th, sixth and... here we are !!! ----- ----- : KANADA4229@... <KANADA4229@...> : jazzguitar@... <jazzguitar@...> : 26 1999 . 5:38 : [jazzguitar] Re: Help memorizing sharps and flats But if I'm sight-reading I don't want to look to left every note I come to. |

KANADA4229@... writes: << I know the cycle, it's the application that's giving me problems. OK, if you know the cycle, then it is simple... For #'s you count them clockwise around the circle starting at 11 o'clock (F) and then 12 o'clock (C) then 1 oclock, etc. until you are at the number of sharps for the key you are in. Example: You are in the key of A Major. You know that it has 3 sharps. You start counting from 11 o'clock for 3 spaces. So you get 11 is F 12 is C and 1 is G. So there you have it....The key of A has 3 sharps and the notes that are sharped are F, C and G. For Flats, you simply start at at 10 o'clock and count counter-clockwise. Example: You are in Db (D flat). You know it has 5 flats, so start counting from 10 o'clock and you will see B, E, A, D and G (Remember the first 4 as the word BEAD). These notes are the notes that get flatted! Hope this helps, Andy Seyler |

I don't know any trick. the last flat is the fourth etc. My suggestion is
to play all you can in those keys. Go find tunes in them. Transpose if you have band in a box or go to your music store and find exercises in those keys for any instrument and sight read, sight read sight read. perhaps some of the books that have been recommended on this site have great helps with this. If they you, you'll hear from those who have used them. Learn the scales so you can spell them in your head, name them out loud and find every Db Gb etc on the fingerboard. practice!

It's extremelyI can't deny the advantages of memorizing the circle of fifths or fourths, depending which way you go around it. Have you ever taken a good look at the key signature? For example in F, which is one flat, the flat symbol is on the b line. For B flat, two flats, the symbols are on the b and the e, and so on. In other words if you have the music sharp or flatted notes are in the key signature. Harry |
[jazzguitar] Re: Help memorizing sharps and flats
I know the cycle, it's the application that's giving me problems. For
example: Db major has Bb Eb Ab Db Gb. I know the key has 5 flats but I lose the information when I pick up my instrument and try to play a piece of sheet music. I always have to stop and repeat the cycle to myself as a reminder but because the notes aren't in alphabetical order it gets me confused. I'll remember Bb and Eb but after that my fingers take over. It's very discouraging since it's so basic yet it gives me so much trouble. Thanks |
[jazzguitar] Help memorizing sharps and flats
This may sound totally elementary for some of you but it's a problem that I
need help on. I need to know how you all keep track of the sharps and flats in keys with 4+ accidentals. I know the order in which they occur (5ths for sharps and 4ths for flats), and can recite them from rote. But I can't seem to remember which notes get sharped or flatted when I go to read the notes. I constantly find myself stopping and figuring it out. It's extremely frustrating and I need to know how I can get past this. Thanks |

[jazzguitar] Found Randy Sarles
Edward Tootill
I found the Philadelphia-area jazz guitar player
named Randy Sarles. I heard a track from a new CD on wrti one Friday night. At first I swore it was Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, but it wasn't. It was Zan Gardner on vocals and Randy Sarles on guitar. Randy was playing a walking base line under a complex chord progression. If you are interested: Sarles Music P.O. Box 37 Arcola, PA 19420-0037 sarlesmusc@... ( There is no "i" ) The CD is "Birds of a Feather", $17 PPD. Ed T. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[jazzguitar] Re: What are good amps?
My name is jack. Recently, I bought an Evans custom jazz amp. It's the best
sounding amp i have ever played through. I have the je200. Its price is around 1100 new. If you are looking for a bit cheaper amp, Polytones are nice. They are very forgiving as far as feedback goes. They come as cheap as 400. Good luck, Jack. |
