woo baby here is an opportunity for me to use those 6 years i spent obtaining multiple degrees in music lol.
a power chord is not a tonic triad. a power chord is made up of 2 roots and a 5th, omitting the 3rd which gives the chord neither a major or minor quality. therefore a power chord is made up of 2 roots and a 5th. the spelling of a Bb power chord would be Bb F Bb. a triad must have 3 different notes, those being the root, 3rd, and 5th. if you want a a Bb Major you need to add in the 3rd which would be D and the spelling of the chord would be Bb D F. if you want Bb minor the 3rd would be Db making the chord spelling Bb Db F. the only difference in a major and minor chord such as A major to A minor is the lowering of the 3rd a half step.
and a triad(or any other chord) can only be considered "tonic" if the chord is the ONE(I) chord in the key. so take a song like nothing as it seems where the chord progression is B(I) - Bb minor(vii). Bb in this case is actually considered a#(although a# is enharmonic to Bb). but at any rate, the ONE(I) chord here is the B minor and therefore that is the tonic chord and no other chord in the song will be a tonic chord until there is a point of modulation and we have a new key.
ok glad a BA in music business & technolgy and an AS is music general paid off for somthing lol...
by the way i wasn't taking a shot at anyone i was just having fun
all that sounds just like something my instructor would say. beauty of it is..I understood you.
just graduated in may lol, with my BA in music business and technolgy and also an AS in music general.
that's cool...
I just started playing and am a little overwhelmed but one thing that drives me absolutely insane is that when I'm at my lesson (Larry Brown, Bailey Brothers) I cannot for the life of me duplicate what I do at home with him. It's like I've never picked up the guitar til the lesson. Infuriating.

I was like that too, still am to a certain extent. I'd learn something new in a lesson, have it down, sort of roughly by the time the lesson was up. I'd get home, pick up the guitar a few hours later, and nothing. Then at some point the next day I'd try again and get it. It just takes perseverance. Stick with it, you'll get it.

ok good...b/c I feel like a fool sometimes with him. He was showing me this Hendrix lick the other day and I struggled with it. Went home and 5 minutes later was cussing myself for struggling with such an easy lick.
question..
he's teaching me to use hybrid picking instead of just strumming. but what I wonder is, when you hit a note with the pick and then another note with your finger, the power of the notes are not near equivalent. Do play this way?

i do but on very few songs. mainly when i am playing accoustic. it is a tonal thing. normally when using both the pick and your fingers it is meant to bring out a warmer/less tinny sound from the high strings.
