MidLifeCrisis Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Damn... I went to upload a cut of my band doing dreams. Much to my horror every MP3 on my machine is gone. 5 years of downloading, ripping, recording, purchasing all gone. If I wasn't in shock right now I would probably toss my laptop into a wall. I stupidly back up all my work files but never backed up my music. Steve A Lifetime of Peace, Love and Protest Music www.rock-xtreme.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If you have not filled up the disk with other stuff, there is hope. Removing a file only dereferences it, it does not erase the data. Best not to use the machine at all until you scope this out. Just surfing around to find an undelete program will cache stuff and downloading and installing an undelete program will overwrite more blocks. If this is a desktop unit, it's best to pull your drive out, and install it as a non boot drive on another box and try to fix it from there. PC? Windoze? --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmp Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If you have and external drive or even one of those USB memory sticks, try to download the utility to, and install it there to prevent any overwriting of your C drive. Good luck. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue JC Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Originally posted by BluesKeys: [QB] I love the #9 because of the tension it gives. It just begs for a resolve. In Gary Moore's Still Got the Blues (my fav guitar song) most guitar players miss that chord at the end of the verse. Another Gary Moore fan - that's a great tune.

Synapse Collapse Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Great song; great thread. But is it a sign of the apocalypse that an interesting chord structure discussion was triggered by a Molly Hatchet cover? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people do you know sing like Kermit the Frog on steroids? No disrespect intended. I am sure I have their first album somewhere at my mom's house. I can still see the artwork in my head, along with the white dress shoes the lead singer was wearing for the band photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 We guitarists learn that chord early on. It is, unfortunately, the staple chord of stupid white boy garage funk, just like a kind of non-functional major seventh chord is the staple of stupid white boy garage jazz...

I'd love to hear it. And I promise not to heckle you, even though Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet shows are my two main inspirations in life.

Dreamer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Another song that comes to mind is "Mas que nada" (by Jorge Ben); would it be so memorable without that #9 chord -on the rhytm break- introducing the verse?

hawkan2580 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I wrote a song once that started with /--E7#9 E7b9/ Am7 Am9/ .. I still like how the tension is resolved through that simple progression....The melody notes were on the #9 b9 /5th -9th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pierce Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm also a fan of this chord. The sparse voicings mentioned above are all nice. When a jam tune gets really fat with this chord, I'll also throw in the 9 for even more disonance. This especially works on a B3 with lots of chorus and fast Leslie -- I'll sort of slap around with the left hand catching two or three keys in the general vicinity of E and the right hand switching between closely voiced inversions of Gmaj7, rootless E9, the Hendrix chord itself, and a plain-old E7. I make a conscious effort to keep that pretty random, so there's this weird chromatic bouncing-around this happening. And I don't hold any one note very long, I'm talking 1/16th and 1/8 notes here. Gets pretty nasty. In a good way. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Soultwist Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Its a great chord for jazzing up your blues, If you play a C7#9, E Bb Eb, and then move it down a half step, you get a B7#9. Now if you replace the bass note with an F, you get into trione land cause now the chord sounds like an F 13, b7 3 6. And if you move up a half step you get a G 13!

Mr. Nightime Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Originally posted by wmp: The note to leave out is the B. 7#9 needs no steenking 5. Without the G# it's an Em7. Perhaps, but someone else in te band will be playing the G#. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."
