>tfw you hit the A string while playing the D chord ond guitar

Sounds good tho

>wanting twangy ass high strings with no bass
You do realize A is literally the fifth

>guitarists don't know that A is the 5th in a D major triad

>tfw somehow get the skin between my middle and ring finger sliced into by the high E string

>>69586608
Just turn it in to a Ic=>V=>I progression you pleb

>>69586892
honestly lol

Finger picking it when you wanted the D is kinda annoying though. I guess I should learn to finger pick properly.

>>69586608
mute it with the thumb finger

>>69586890
but generally, the lowest note in a chord is supossed to be the tonic

i'm writing my thesis paper on how guitar players are dumb motherfuckers who couldn't grasp music theory if it got shot up their butt with a bicycle pump, mind if I get your name and e-mail address and use you as a citation?

let me know asap thanks.

>>69588959
Using inversions is good for smooth melodic lines and using root position is good for emphasizing a chord.

Trying to play fast riffs with a thin pick is maddening, I think I'll glue two picks together

>>69586608
>What are fifths

>>69589021
Hey, you are a meanie. Instead of mocking someone you could try and educate them by telling them why they are wrong. I perfectly know that A is the fifth of D, but i've always heard that the lowest note in a chord should be the tonic, except when playing inversions.

>>69588953
why do you call it the thumb finger? it's called a thumb

>>69589109
>but i've always heard that the lowest note in a chord should be the tonic, except when playing inversions.
you kind of answered your own question. there's no reason that a chord has to begin on its tonic, it just depends on how you're using it.

I was making fun of you because guitar players only ever play power chords and probably came up with that stupid "the lowest note in a chord should be the tonic" idea

>>69589118
to differentiate from the thumb toe obviously

>>69586608
>tfw you bust your last drumhead

>>69588959
Do yourself a favour and learn what inversions are.

>>69589273
oh, okay, we cool

>>69590313
You didn't read what i posted after that, i know what an inversion is

The greatest song of all time makes heavy use of inverted chords so it's obviously not a bad thing.

>implying you want to play a second inversion chord unless you are at a cadential moment

>>69588322
How would that change anything to do with an open D chord or the A string

why don't you shut your fucking face, power chords are the pinnacle of western musical achievement. Im playing a power chord right now just to spite you

>>69591398
it's just a prank, my dude

>>69589316
I had a buddy who played his drums way too fucking hard and he ended up cracking his hi-hats and basically his whole kit
less is more

>>69591403
only guitarists

>>69591683
There would be a D below the A, meaning that the lowest note in the chord would be the tonic and no one's babby ears would get upset.

don't get caught up on these little things
yes you should work to clean it up but if you keep getting hung up on this kind of shit you're not gonna go anywhere
you need to strike a balance, don't be an autist who plays perfectly but can't do anything interesting but don't be a lunk who has cool ideas but plays like shit

>>69592180
you're the one throwing a tantrum friend
i hope it at least makes you feel better

>>69592505
it does thanks

knowing that overrated hack is in the cold earth will make me feel just swell
