Additional Info Pasal App Tu

Well, walaupon perisian ni ajaib, it’s not that ajaib yet. :P

I forgot to mention that this program may not help you understand all kinds of music out there. For the time being, aku baru buat list of chords based on Major/Natural Minor scale, harmonic and melodic minor scales. This program gives you a lot of chords based on those scales (and associated modes actually)

In reality, there are many scales not covered here. For example, Blues Scale. Pretty common in blues. Or Whole Tone scale ke, or any exotic scales.

But, Major, minor, harmonic minor and melodic minor are the most basic ones you should know. They are probably the most common scales out there. Kalo korang blaja theory, those are the first scales you’ll learn. And lagi satu, lagu-lagu melayu 80/90’s memang banyak rely on these scales. In fact, semua yang aku transcribed so far follow these scales strictly. See, you can still make good music out of relatively common scales.

So, try to understand this first before you try to learn something exotic. And, sometimes orang yang baru belajar, they want to learn exotic stuff, to make them sound different than others. Well, it’s a good drive to have. But, don’t get ahead of yourself. You gotta know the basic first. (I’ve taken 4 basic guitar classes, just to make sure I get a good grip of the basics. We’ll talk about it later).
