He did this to about 10 threads and said nothing more than the equivalent of "yeah". And Elliot's threads in Dave's Guitar were locked and we conversed via PM.

I wasn't trying to "backseat moderate", just making an observation (about the shit people get for not searching). He also did more than say "yeah" in 10 threads including this one. Whatever.

c'mon guys, chill out. its not like theres been any facts posted in this thread, its all pretty much opinion, if he wants to post his then why not? he followed all the rules and i found this thread pretty interesting... no harm no foul.
with gcomm diggin up all his old beefs with ranting (which served no purpose other than entertainment) i dont see why this guy can just add his insight on daves knowledge of theory, just seems silly... peace

alright lets set it straight....first off bbatt u could have not been an asshole and sent me a pm with some b.s. about helpin me out before some assholes comes along and says it to me, instead of makin urself look like an ass infront of the whole boards... second....thanks to the few guys here who actually are welcoming the noobie and understand im still gettin used to the forum and all.....honest to god i have brough up a few old threads by accident....i try to make u guys happy by using the search so i dont get yelled at for reposting and this is what happens. i just failed to check he dates on them. ....also if my insight is relatively lame its simply because i have only started playing guitar 6 months ago and taking lessons a month ago. im tryin though honestly....i'd appreciate it if anyone has a problem with me take it up with me personally..not by using some bs post. also thanks to the guys like little friend who stick up for me...atleast some of u guys know who i really am i guessBigSpeen3436 wrote:Did his post really add ANYTHING that wasn't already covered in this thread though?littlefriend420 wrote:I wasn't trying to "backseat moderate", just making an observation (about the shit people get for not searching).

i think he understands most of theory, take tripping billies; unless he just put his fingers in places and liked them, then he obviously knows theory to make the nature intro/chorus chord (the stretchy one). Its still A Major, with a 1,3,5 to a Amaj 9 , with 1,2,3, if u know a bit of theory ull understand. i think dave knows what he's doing and just plays it off

As a classical performance major in a New York music school, I can speak from experience with regard to knowing theory.
I find that sometimes knowing TOO much can hinder the writing process. Once you get all bogged down with the Italian 6th, Neopolitan and tritone-substitution shit, it becomes hard to listen to something for how you LIKE it without basing the judgement on if it is correct theoretically.
I am sure Dave knows what he is doing, as it would be impossible to just STUMBLE into even the progressions he uses a lot, but I doubt that he is ever thinking "I got a major 7th here and I need to resolve it to a minor ninth."
