Lately I've been thinking about the relation of the chords functions and the scale on which they're built. I mean, for example, the G major scale is the scale on which the chord G major is built, etc. I'm not trained profesionally and I tried to search this but I receive no results so I'm asking here. Maybe it's something super obvious but I have never read about this specific fact.
I realized that, in a key, the chords we considered to be subdominant are those whose scale they're built are a semitone flat from the key (In C major, D minor and F major), while the dominant are those whose scale is a semitone up from the key (In C major, G major). A minor is the relative minor of C major so it doesn't create a lot of tension and Bdim's scale is really far plus there is a tritone in its construction so it's very tense. The only exception would be E minor but the're a lot of debate around it plus it has two notes from the tonic chord so its function depends on the context.
Furthermore, the note that is flatten in the case of the subdominant is the B, I mean, the VIIb of the chords are notes largerly used and considered diatonic, so, this chords are less tense because the note that differs in the case of subdominant is one deeply related and used in the key, while in the case of dominant chord, the note that is sharppen is the F, so it's substantially less related with the scale because of the tritone, so, it feels more tense.
Okay, so, does this thing I just said make sense or it is just coincidental and I'm just overthinking? And, if that made sense and it's an actual thing, wouldn't it means that our brain experience chords as a "representative" cell of the scale that they're build upon and the tension we experience is related with the distance from the key we're playing? Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry if I don't explain myself very well. English isn't my first languaje so maybe it's a little confusing. Feel free to ask me any question to make things more clear if you need.
This is basically what's given and I've only been able to go this far (which is probably not even correct). I tried solving it but I got that r = 6 and that's false, as the answer is 10.
If something is unclear please say what, as I've had to use math terminology in English and I'm not used to that yet
(I'm not really sure if this kind of post is allowed; I tried /r/learnguitar first but it's a really sleepy sub).
In other words, say I'm playing a C chord. The fingering isn't difficult, but string four is supposed to be open and I just can't get my fingers to move in such a way that I'm only holding down the correct strings. The result is that my finger gets in the way of string four and prevents it from vibrating.
The thing is, the width of my fingertip is literally wider than the distance between the two strings, so there's really no way for me to hold down string three without also touching string four.
Just so I'm clear on this, this isn't something that's expected to be "fudged", right? In other words, this isn't a problem that a lot of guitarists have and then they go, "oh yeah, well as long as you got MOST of the strings right, that chord is fine." It's expected to be able to play them with all the open strings being able to vibrate without being touched or interrupted.
Practicing a ton is a given, but what else do you guys suggest? I like the way the chords are sounding when I play them with more open strings, so I can tell that the reason the sound isn't coming out right is those strings being muted improperly.
EDIT: Thanks for the tips everyone! This honestly helps a lot!
EDIT 2: Ok, sounding MUCH better now that I'm focusing on using just my fingertips and fretting more lightly. I can definitely tell I'm getting a much clearer sound!
I know I can solve haversine and then convert based on average radius of the earth, but is there an easy way to get the precise chord distance between coordinates? Thanks!
It's very hard for me as a noob guitarist to play songs on frets like 9 or 10.. even 7 because the distance between chords and frets seems too big for me. Here is a pic on the 1st fret and the last fret, is this how it is supposed to look?

I'm aware that there are tabs, but I'd like chords I can use to play it on acoustic. https://youtu.be/F2LmwCTbCOk
Hello all, I just started studying waves motion an I came to a stall on a problem where it asks me to calculate the distance between 2 points on a chord knowing the phase diference of the wave.
Things I know or calculated in the previous subquestions;
-
Wave equation and amplitude
-
wavelenght
-
angular and linear frequency
-
wave phase velocity and wave number
-
phase difference between the 2 points
Any help is welcom, thank you !
Basically, as the title says, I donโt feel at home on this planet. Itโs because of people. We live in a broken society where itโs a social standart to work for some rich asshole to get ever richer while people in Africa donโt have anything to eat. We cut down forrests, the earthโs lungs just so that we get to make money from selling it, we completly broke natureโs laws of population regulation from big warhouses of animals where they slaughter thousands of animals on a daily basis meanwhile we are afraid to die when itโs a nessecary part of life. We are conciously destroying our planet and we are doing almost nothing about it and instead of trying to fix it, the billionares just worry about mars colonisation etc. Those are my core beliefs and no therapy is going to fix that. I feel like I canโt do anything about it and itโs driving me suicidal. Anyone else experiencing this ? How should I cope with it ? What should I do ? Is it even worth anymore ? Please help. Ps. English isnโt my first language so I apologize for any potencial mistakes.
My wife is a very sensitive person but sometimes she seems to know or understand things that she couldn't know. Just a few examples:
- She dreamt that a friend of ours was burgled one night she called them the next day to discover they had been burgled the night before and her dream was very similar to what happend including how they entered and who was in and what they took, so much so that our friend was a little weirded out by it.
- We had to write to someone we don't know well and are not in touch with, she made me change the working of the letter as she had a feeling that the husband has died. When we got a reply he had indeed died.
- When we were looking at a house we saw a nice one which was everything we wanted but my wife said she had a bad feeling about the place and vetoed it, I was quite annoyed as I loved it. The following year that house collapsed into a sink hole, luckily no one was killed.
- When we moved into our house a few years ago and we didn't know any neighbours my wife used to say she felt like one of the couple on the street had a bad marriage and that he was a bad man even though they seemed nice enough to nod to in the street, then a year or so later the police ended up raiding that house and the man was led out of the house at gun point and it turned out he was a criminal and abusive to his wife.
These are just a few examples but she just seems to know stuff like this all the time, when I ask her about it she says its just like a little story that forms in her mind but that sometimes she gets the feeling that it might be true and when that happens it often is true. She doesn't see ghosts or know stuff like next weeks lottery numbers but she just knows stuff. She has never lost a single game of Cluedo in her life, she just knows very quickly what the answer is even when she tried to lose she wins.
I literally think she can read minds, can you imagine how scary it is to be married to someone like that lol? Is this psychic type ability or is it just being very sensitive to clues she isn't even aware that she is picking up on?
Anyone have any tips on how to become more aware of bodily sensations/emotions and the flow of your energy within your body? Meditating for a few months now has definitely helped with this, but I feel like I still have some root, sacral and solar plexus blockages to work on. I think it would be helpful if I could become even more aware of my energy
I am very depressed and fearful! I am afraid to be the only real person
Especially when they're feeling negative emotions, my presence tend to absorb their energy and they would usually feel better/lighter afterwards. It's like I took the energy away from them and now I'm left feeling drained because of how heavy the negative energies are.
I really want to stop feeling so drained everytime I'm around people, but at the same time I feel happy and glad that I'm able to help them feel better.
Is there a way to solve this? Like maybe, recharge or stop myself from feeling drained but at the same time still helping others feel better/lighter?
We see this phrase often in spiritual posts as well the term is used by self help spiritual authors and YouTube posters. But what exactly does it mean? Or can you provide a real life example of a high frequency or low frequency. Not really looking for generic answers like it means when your energy/mood is high or low, but more specific definitions or examples.
Thanks for your time and help.
I find myself to be surrounded by people who are toxic and negative (specifically friends). Some of these โfriendsโ send negative energy my way and it ruins my day. Iโm trying to cut these people out but what they say/do still affect me sometimes. How do I stray away from these types of people and not let what they say about me affect me?
Edit: Thanks so much everyone for all your help. I am so appreciative of all your replies with different insights and perspectives for me to take in. There is a lot of helpful advice here. The biggest takeaway Iโve learnt is to simply let go, remove the toxicity, and further focus/work on myself and my mindsets. Things are much clearer now and I know what I have to do. Best wishes to you all in the new year!
Why is this happening? I feel so good going to yoga, meditating, doing constant shadow work, but still have depressive traits? No appetite, can hardly sleep like what is going onnnnn
In the past few years I had a breakdown, went hermit mode, discovered spirituality and am now trying to integrate myself back into society. The thing is itโs super frustrating, human interaction and everyday life feels so mundane and trivial knowing thatโs thereโs more to this, everything feels performative and fake and full of ego and human interaction feels so laborious now, Iโm bored of conversation and interaction and talking for the sake of it, I want something deeper that my life doesnโt seem to fulfill. How do you overcome this?
I have so much gratitude, and I even try to be grateful FOR the actual anxiety and tight chest, and a lot of times I find myself yawning and just trying to yawn it out but this happens soooo frequently that I often get frustrated. Any input helps:)
Since my spiritual awakening began around the end of last year, Iโve had this deep hunger for knowledge like never before.
Has anyone else experienced similar?
Iโve always been intuitive and keen on research, debates, forming my opinions with worldly affairs.
But in recent, I feel so inclined to understand my soul and existence through literature and self-help books.
I would always go through technology detox periods (by conscious effort). Whereas now, it felt natural to put away my console, delete social media and switch of the TV. Freeing up time to do some more reading and searching.
I have been trying all kinds of ways to remove negative energy for a while. Iโm really seeing the difference now.... itโs still in progress but I found at least in daytimes Iโm really good. I find applying healing oils helps a lot... it seem like when I fall asleep thatโs when the negative energy takes over and I canโt control it.... but the good thing is at least in the day time Iโm quite normal now....
Itโs great to see the improvement.... I canโt believe I have improved so much now :)
I know when my home has negative energy because I feel down, and the people I live with also exhibit low energy.
I use mine and their emotions as a cue that there is dark energy in our shared space. Cleaning and removing dust and opening the windows, and letting sunlight in helps me feel calmer.
I also listen to high-frequency sounds to assist me in shifting the stagnant energy but sometimes, I feel like the dark energy still lingers.
Does anyone have any tips for what else I can do to clear the negative energy from my home?
Is like being cursed throughout your life EVERY place you go there is someone to try to influence you or annoy you. Even near your home(neighbors). Might be a passionated woman who is in love with you or just a dickhead who wants mislead you and make you want to punch them so they stop
Its like being constantly bullied non stop.
Im writing this cause the empaths sub is filled with trolls and misinformed people. Just wanted to say it somewhere
I mean in lasting, effective, permanent way?
I know this sounds funny, but I met this dog and it has the most beautiful energy. Her eyes are so bright and always look smiley, her mouth is always gaping like she can't believe how good life is, she has this expression and energy like she is so excited about life and she is so beautiful it makes me a little emotional actually. When I am having a bad day I think of her.
I meet people sometimes who seem spiritually advanced and enlightened. I know I'm a beautiful person and I know I'm bright. But I don't see myself ever being the brightest energy, I get tired, I think a lot, I like space, I have doubts and I dont see myself as deserving or lovable at times, it feels like it takes a lot of work to raise my vibration to a place where I feel like other people notice it and want to love me or be around me, I've been that way as far back as I can remember. I feel like it's been my life mission to change that.
I was just wondering if you can really effectively change your natural 'energy'. Idk
