invitation for music genres explanation
 

Long time ago.. there was a post at the old AHS about remixed music genre... but unfortunately.. i missed it and didn;t copy it

so i'd like to invite ... taa daaa.....:roflmao
surreal dreams - san
to explain more about those music genres mone more time (trance, drum & bass, jungle, techno, chill, etc.)

i ask surrealdreams because she had a good music background, but for other members who'd like to share his/her knowledge.. plz take your time... :)

ummmm..... I wish I could tell you the difference.... i could tell you the difference between varieties of rock, if you were interested in that..... I know trance is well known for going on for hours, but beyond that, I have never heard of jungle or chill..... I definitely am interested in learning this though :) C'mon surrealdreams, explain the secrets of life to us lol

hahaha.. the invitation had been sent. may be we shall wait for a while...the postman's a little bit lazy nowadays... (really! i sent a x-mas card on december... but it arrived on february!!! i was so surprised to hear that... dammit post office... better use email :mad )

i already PM surrealdreams... let's wait for the guy

OK I don't know everything! :D
And there are also ppl I know like trainspotter and busy_child could help out here.

Sometimes dance music genres can be vague. Everybody has his/her own opinions what is trance, what is techno etc.

You can get a lot of info here.
It'll take too long to describe it myself.

Trance-

Techno-

drum & bass, jungle-

House-

As a summary, chill(out) is slower, more relaxed, softer beats, etc. etc. You can't really dance to it, but I suppose that's just me. :)

i totally agree w/ u
sometimes they can be vague, too vague
esp trance and techno
let's just call them all electronic music and leave it :)

anyway the basic thing's like this
electronic music:
techno
---detroit, hardcore
trance
---epic, goa, dark, hardcore, progressive
house
---deep, underground
ambient
---illbient, abstract ambient, dark ambient, experimental, LFO
-drun n bass
---jungle, breakbeat
hardcore
IDM
eruo
---italo
garage
---UK (2-step), US
break beat
---d n b, hip hop-old schoool
electro
chill out

r 'n b
hip hop
---garage

so here basically r the genres and subgenres (somebody explain them for me dun wanna type anymore~). see many of them r interconnected to each other, that's the kind of thing that drives me crazy
and there r still a lot of subgenres i'm missing or not too familar w/ (coz i dun listen to all of them lol)

Same here as well as jazz and blues. In fact there is probably very few questions that I can't answer about those three.

I think I'll just stay with my different rock genres- there's way too much stuff with trance and techno... okay peruvian, what is the mixolydian pentatonic scale look like in the key of A? (just kidding- I know you know that stuff by now) The only real question I have is how to do a pinch harmonic, but by most explanations i've received for this question, I have decided it's much better to just find someone who knows how to do it, and then learn visually- since from what I can tell, in order to do it properly, you need to see someone else do it first :)

The best way to explaing playing a pinch harmonic is muting the string you just played with the thumb on your right hand (or left hand if you pick with it). Then vibrating that note with the left hand (or right if you fret with it). I use this technique quite a bit since I do some shred stuff. It adds a really nice ''squeal''. Question, do you read Guitar World every month? That is where I pick up a lot of tricks. I just wish John Petrucci and Joe Satriani would write columns again.

By the way I was referring more to knowlege of genres, artist, songs, etc. in the realms of rock, blues, and jazz. Not so much techniques. I am by no means an expert guitarist (not yet anyway) but I do know a few things.

wah.. sorry late replyin...

yeah... i'm kinda forgotten about the previous talk we had at AHS... not only surrealdreams... but trainspotter was also in to the discussion.... seems like chameleon is also in to the talk

thanks for the explanation!
though it's not as long and as detail as the previous talk...
that topic was soooo long... pages and pages of comments...
i regret a lot for not copying it....

thanks for the knowledge!
