Quiz - Fanfare For A Common Man - Guess the song titles and artists?

 


FROM THE B********  (don't look at the answers and have to say to yourself, 'I'm a ******')


So I was born in a s**** t*** in the north Scotland, ask John, he'll tell you. This is a picture of the town..honest.

There was a certain beat to say I was a s**** t*** b**. I wasn’t b*** in the *0’s but all my b******* and ******s were, it was colder then. Ask the coppers, they can't keep anything to themselves.

My mum and dad were overjoyed with their new ****d, I felt free, and everyone loves it, when a ****d is born. 

There was four of us:- 

My oldest brother wasn’t born in the ***, he wasn't yanked into this world. My second brother was born to be *****, his name wasn't Patrick either! my sister was born to be ****, although she did look cold, and I was born to ***, no BS.

I was the last of four children and my mum rolled over and said ‘that’s the l*** t***. When my sister arrived the year before, it was a different story, it was ‘H*********, I **** *** So'. They must've thought she was a ray of sunshine.

We were brought up on a r********** street, I was in ecstacy, I should have been scared, it was a m** w**** right enough. I was hoping we were going to move around a bit, maybe to C********* Road, in the south east but p********* 4th ******. It looked great there, people bobbed.



Me and my fellow students dancing our way to school when I was younger


School ***s. Chuck your hat in the air!!

Ah yes these are supposed to be the b*** y**** o* o** l****. I didn't rebel to be a Londoner.

After a non eventful junior school everything was mad. I would go into school with my platform shoes and b**** t*******. I never even thought about m* o** s*****, or old friends there, like Dan.

I remember I was caught near the station, s****** in the b*** r***. T****** gave me a roasting for that one!! good old JT, as we called him.

G*** m****** l***** s*********, the boys used to shout, in a sunny way, and we didn't give a jack. We'd shout things like 'i* s** r***** g**** o** w*** h**' 



My food science teacher explaining the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast to my school friend 'Skinny' 


S****** ***!! - not just for summer

That special time to join the r** r***.

So now I'm looking for c***** o************ that won't clash with my prospects, what will I do. Looking at my silhoutte, I thought - g** * j** for a start but I don't know where to start. Like George T's dad said 'G** * h****** *** g** * g*** j**'.

I could've went to British Steel but they got the name wrong, they were m***** p**** f** N****, not me. I could've joined the F*** B******, and got a move on - I know Roy Wood've. I was good at designing buildings, especially on Sundays. I wonder if I could be a s***** a********. As my brothers had done it, I wondered if I should keep the status quo and be i* t** a*** n**. If they moulded me correctly I could easily be g******* *** m*****. But at  the end of the day I had no one to lean on and I d*** w*** t* b* * s******, in fact g*** p**** * c*****! 



Hope you enjoyed it, if you have, let me know. I'll do another .... This is t** e**

Modes - Scale Shapes you should know

Image
 FIRST THINGS FIRST.. If you find this article useful, please subscribe, it really helps my blog. There are certain patterns that appear on the guitar fretboard and it is worth looking at these and memorising them to make things easy for yourself when learning any sort of scale or modes. These patterns are great to across the fretboard but by changing the starting point, you may also move up the fretboard. There are three main patterns to consider when looking at the guitar, and they will always follow each other. These are those patterns:-   I have put notes on these diagrams for context, it is the shape we are concerned with here, not the actual note..yet. Just look at how the notes relate to the others in each individual pattern. The next thing we shall look at is the root note for each shape. We will consider the Major Scale - or Ionian Mode first. MAJOR SCALE So let us look at pattern 1 above and see what we can make of it.  You can firstly see it is a block of three notes stacked

Guitar Modes - Chord Progressions

 Guitar Modes  If you find this article useful, please subscribe, it really helps my blog. A melodic scale is a progression of notes a particular order.  The idea of "mode" in Western music theory has three progressive stages: in Gregorian chant theory, in Renaissance polyphonic theory, and in apparent symphonious music of the common practice period. In each of the three settings, "mode" joins the possibility of the diatonic scale, however contrasts from it by additionally including a component of song type. This means that repertories of short melodic figures or gatherings of tones inside a specific scale, so that, contingent upon the perspective, mode assumes the significance of one or the other a "particularized scale" or a "generalized tune". Present day musicological practice has stretched out the idea of mode to prior melodic frameworks, like those of Ancient Greek music, Jewish cantillation, and the Byzantine arrangement of octoechoi (the

Modes from the Pentatonic Scale

 I would suggest reading other posts in this series that explain Scales and Modes before going further with this post. If you find this article useful, please subscribe, it really helps my blog. This is taken from a previous post:- Learning Modes from the Pentatonic Scale As the name suggests the Pentatonic Scale is made up of 5 notes. Depending on whether you are looking at the Major or Minor Pentatonic Scale, will depend on the scale degrees used in that scale.    The Major Pentatonic scale is made up of the 1st - Major 2nd- Major 3rd- Perfect 5th - Major 6th,    The Minor Pentatonic scale constitutes the 1st - minor 3rd - Perfect 4th - Perfect 5th - minor 7th, and you can see a comparison between both scales below.       The obvious thing to say about this is that shape 1 is followed by shape 2, etc. Also, if you look closely, you can see how the shapes match each other as they move along the fretboard, i.e. shape 1 of the Minor Pentatonic is the same as shape 5 of the Major Pentato
