Music and advice Why do people who don't know shit about music insist on "answering" some of these questions, when they have absolutely nothing to offer?
I mean, if I were to ask the best way to resolve a chord progression, there would be at least 4 people who would answer by saying that they have no clue. Why? Why do these people feel compelled to answer on subjects they don't know jack-shit about?
p.s. - if you don't play guitar, don't answer guitar questions. If you don't play music, don't answer questions about how to play something or about music theory.
Thank you, that is all.

Yeah I ask that question every time I get on here. You make complete sense dude, I have no idea what chord progression is (I could ask my dad and find out but...nah) so I wouldn't answer that question. However, I've played piano, flute, clarinet, and tried guitar so I can answer a few from past experiences. And to all those who say "chill out, advicenators is just for fun, people just like to answer stuff for fun"- DON'T. It's not helpful, it makes you look like a moron for coming on someone's page just to say you don't know, and furthermore, it's not just for fun, it's to help someone. So at least answer the ones you know for sure, don't just answer everything just for the sake of answering. It makes you look like you just like to see your own typing. ]
Dude, chill out. This is Advicenators, your supposed to feel like you can answer any question you want. I'm not a guitar person, but I know enough about music from being a music major for four years to know what works. A musician's a musician. Don't just write everyone off.... ]
I fully agree that people who know nothing about music should not answer music questions. I have limited guitar knowledge from working in a music store, I am taking a music theory class, and I have been playing the clarinet for eight years. I asked a question a while back about good quality clarinets, and a couple of people knew nothing about it or chose to rant about the fact that they hate the clarinet, and they were people who had no business answering my question. People come to this website for advice, and anyone who knows nothing about a sbject they are answering a question for should just stay away from the question! Hopefully people will some day get the insight that some people depend on the advice they are given and when they are insulted for asking a question or are given bad advice they might get irritated. ]
Dearest jerk,
There are some general music things that I know to be true even though I haven't played in years. This is not the be all end all of advice. This is supposed to be fun, and snobby people like you make musicians out to be self-centered fools, and I know that they are really interesting people. I promise not to answer stuff that is over my head, but there are a few "common sense" items that I have privy to.
So quit being so serious and go play your guitar. ]
AHH! Someone actually came out and said it! I hate when people do that too.
-shay :-) ]
very nice point but i really do hope that this is not the person who came looking for help for if you are i must call you a ungratful brat... remember this and remember it well "beggers can't be choosers" -me ]
the best way to resolve a chord progression is a major V chord, then a I chord.
i like your point. ]
