Guitar strings - E is the lowest, e is the highest.

What is the name of the musical interval that makes up the first two notes of "Here comes the bride" (Wagner's Bridal Chorus)?

Nope... a hint to show what I am getting at. If you hum the first two notes to "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", that is a major sixth.

Let me take another stab;

Pick-up notes?

Well, I think I blew that one.

Please try another one.

The answer I was looking for was perfect fourth.

Sorry, yeah it was a bit obscure. When I took music theory as a kid, our teacher gave us a bunch of different mnemonics to remember the intervals, i.e. major 2nd = chopsticks, major 3rd = jingle bells, etc.

Please ask another while I think of one. Thanks for starting the thread!

It did make me dig into Intervals.

I either never learned, or I forgot, what a relative minor is, so I am going to shoot from the hip and make a guess.

I am guessing that the relative minor of any major key would be the one that has the same number of sharps or flats. So for G Major, I think the answer would be e minor....?

My question is: How many flags are there on the demisemiquaver symbol?

By the way, raising a in salute of a fellow breaker sailor. I served on NORTHWIND '85-86

A Perfect Fourth is an Interval of 5 semitones.

A Demisemiquaver, British or "classical" term, for a thirty-second note and has three (3) flags aka beams.

A time signature consists of two numbers, one on the top and one on the bottom.

For the time signature 3/4, what does each number represent?

3/4 = 3 beats per bar. Each beat is 1/4 note.

IE: beat beat beat silent beat beat beat silent.

What is this; v ^ ( the second symbol is meant to be opposite of the first).

Non-quiz questions? Are you a guitarist? And did you hear the news about Schilling?

Non-quiz questions? Are you a guitarist?

Somewhat, but piano/organ are my greater love.

My musical background:

Piano lessons age 6-18, music theory lessons age 8-14
String bass in middle school orchestra
Got a bass guitar for my 15th birthday
Got 12 string and 6 string guitars when I was 16-17, was really into guitars until about age 22 or so, I still dabble with them once in a while. I sold mine, but my son has one and I play his sometimes.
Sang as 2nd tenor in high school and college choirs
Organ lessons first year of college

These days, I sing kareoke on wednesday nights...try to impress my dates on the piano at unit christmas parties that happen to have a baby grand and play my son's guitar and the family piano when I go visit my kids

quote:

And did you hear the news about Schilling?

No... what's up?

That's an impressive musical background. Mine is not so much. More on that later.

v ^ = down, then up strumming. Also called alternate strumming.

Schilling has a hurt shoulder. He will be ready to play after the All-Star Break.
