OSAF (that would be Opinion Stated As Fact, the last resort of the Intellectual Midget). I've challenged you enough already, but just to reiterate, why don't you quote me honestly and in full and then attempt to disprove my points. Or in short: PUOSTFU.

>However, you are a superb web-search-engine user. I just love how

Honestly, it took me all of 15 minutes to find those links. I could have scanned my course notes and pages from textbooks, but that would have been a lot more work and, frankly, Newey, although I find you highly amusing, you really aren't worth that much effort on my behalf.

It's not like this information is hard to come by, or do you imagine that nobody else on this planet has studied music theory but yourself?

If you check the archives you will see that I studied Classical guitar and have been playing and learning most of my life. I'm now studying Jazz and you can't do that without becoming immersed in Harmonic Theory and more general Music Theory. I'm by no means an expert, and would never claim to be, but it really is irritating when having put in the hours to learn this stuff I get lectured by some cretin who's never heard the term "Harmonic Theory" in his life.

>However, you are a superb web-search-engine user. I just love how
>I've got you scurring frantically, searching the web for music info,

More OSAF.

>Gimme more of dat harmonic, homey.
>****Maybe ah will. You be mah first customah, sugarpie.

Oh, so you're a racist shit as well? I think it reflects very dimly on AA that they continue to let such lowlife scum as yourself post here.

>No wonder it takes you 24 hours to reply to my posts - it takes you >that long to look up music info you need to come back at me.

Er, if you actually read any of my other posts you would know that I'm in London, England. That's 8 hours ahead of PST. I have this thing called a J-O-B that I have to attend to which means that I don't get to see your replies or post to AA until the evening. I'll leave it to your genius level intellect to work out when that would be.

>>Er, you didn't RECOGNIZE the chord even though it was written down >>for you. If you can't even get the basics right why should ANYONE >>take your claims of superior theoretical knowledge
>>seriously?
>****No, Josie. I just didn't type it out

That's a lie. You called a dominant 7th chord with a sharp 9 a 9th chord. So, perhaps you can provide an answer to my question:

"If you can't even get the basics right why should ANYONE take your claims of superior theoretical knowledge seriously?" I'd love to know.

>****YOU ARE???? Why there's no end to your many EXPERT talents,
> Josephine. Music Expert.

Quote me where I claimed to me a music expert. PUOSTFU.

>Harmonic-Hypnotic Theory Master. Acoustics
> Master. Electronics Physics ("Electronic Physics"?
>Master. Atomic Physics Master. EVEN Astrology.

Once again, quote me where I claimed to be a master in any of those. I studied Physics and Higher Mathematics at school., dufus. I guess you must have dropped out before the grades where these subjects are covered. As for the rest of it (apart from astrology), try reading Scientific American once in a while. I can't imagine why anyone with an average intellect would imagine that such knowledge was hard to come by. Of
course you have to have good reading skills and I think there is some doubt about your level of
reading comprehension.

You are disingenuous to the core. Here's what I wrote:

>>in order to fully enjoy and understand serious music, some
>>background in harmonic theory can help a great deal

my initial post

Here's your reply:

>"harmonic theory"????????

(http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/music/messages/43382.html)

You clearly had ZERO comprehension of my use of the term Harmonic Theory in relation to the understanding of music. ZERO, NADA, ZILCH. Instead you mistook my reference to be to the theory of harmonics in acoustics, ROTFLMAO!!!!!. Gee, I hope your ass didn't get too bruised when it hit the deck, because you clearly don't have a leg to stand on.

>You are a born liar, boy. Just posting to you makes me feel like
>I've been slimed. You make me sick. You may have a smart-ass reply
>to that, but that doesn't change your life as a LIAR.

PROVE IT.

Prove that I did not use that term correctly and that it wasn't EXACTLY what I had in mind when I made that post. I've already shown what a dishonest clown you are. I've PROVEN it, with FACTS, SOLID, IMMUTABLE, INCONTROVERTIBLE FACTS. Let's see you do the same.

>****Exactly how and when did I give the appearence of being totally
>unaware of 19th cent usage, especially since it wasn't even being
>discussed.

You can't wriggle out of this with such feeble attempts at obfuscation. The subject at hand is HARMONIC THEORY, of which 19th Century harmonic theory is but a part. I've already shown that you had no knowledge of that term in relation to music IN ANY CENTURY. So, let's move on, shall we?

>>> Germany amongst theorists such as Karl Friedrich Weitzmann (whose theory was the first to
feature Chromaticism - you know what that is, right?) and the absolute giant of the field:Heinrich
Shenker (come on, you MUST have heard of him: Furtwanger studied under him for years and his
analysis of Beethoven is near legendary).<<<

>****Amongst????
>Excellent search of the internet, even if you don't have a clue >about any of this. COME ON, YOU MUST STICK
>TO WHAT YOU KNOW, like some dumb, loud rock geetar player. BTW, you >mispelled Schenker. Try Ozzie.

Lordy,lordy, a SPELFLAIME. Congratulations, you have reached the VERY PINNACLE of lameness.

Oh, Once again, QUOTE ME IN FULL, you dishonest POS.

>>I love it. He makes it up that I "don't know at least this much
>>about Harmonic theory then It really does
>>call into question whether you know much about anything to do with >>music."
>Ya caught me. Yes, oh, I'll tell you everything. EVERYTHING!!! I >don't know ANYTHING about music. NOTHING!

Perhaps you could point out where my logic is faulty?

>****They teach HARMONY. Walk in there and talk to them. But, who
>cares? WHATEVAH!

Er, did you read what it said? You can read, can't you?

>****You proved all that? You bad!! Feel better? Hey, man, if it
>helps you get through the day, glad to help. What eva gits ya
>through da nite.

Still smarting huh?

>****Sure. KMBWA.

In the absence of ANY apparent ability to form a cogent argument and prove your point, I guess that is about all you are left with. Pathetic, really.

This started out as an attempt om my part to engage in an intelligent well mannered discussion with you, but, like most social cripples who crave attention on the internet that is sorely missing in their personal lives, you seem to lack the necessary social skills to engage in any kind of civilised, intelligent discussion. So instead we have this thread which would appear to be about all you are capable of producing these days. Kind of sad, really.
