Self taught guitar player turned touring musician here 🙋🏼‍♂️ 🎸

It took me years figure out theory. At first i didnt think it was important as i just wanted to be a rock guitarist. How naive of me…

Truth is, theres only a few things you really need to understand to play what you want.

First off - the diatonic scale. Its 5 Whole steps and 2 half steps. The main one being the Major scale.

I say the main one because you can create 7 scales out of this - Major (I) Minor (VI) and the other 5 modes.

So right there, you have a plethora of sounds and combinations you can work into solos or chord progressions.

Applying this “theory” to your practise takes a bit more work. Memorizing the relationships between intervals and how the work together to form harmony is the next step. I find apreggios and 7th chords a great way to incorporate this stuff into your playing.

Learn chord inversions and practise hitting arpeggios over chord progressions to maximize your efforts.

You can find more resources like this on my page if youd like (including my essential music theory guide)

Best of luck 🫡

@IndianGems_ Free travel within country? 🤨

@kareemformayor I think it would be better if you could just lower taxes on households earning under 250k per year

@seanorr I guess a lot of folks are very concerned after seeing how things played out in the city

@HedyFry Extortion just reached a new ATH though

My mother grew up in russian occupied east germany before the wall came down. Her only dream as a child was to one day visit relatives in west germany. She literally could not comprehend the thought of visiting a different country (because they would be shot if they tried to leave)

@WillBeJams Hey Will, try to play at least 1 hour a day and practice with a metronome.

@SNOSHOER Experience is the only answer

No more tears my favourite #OzzyOsbourne song.

Then war pigs.

[Tony Iommi @tonyiommi]

I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. 
It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.
My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Hard to make sense of things when theres so many stats that can be misconstrued.

I dont know if this chart is unrealistic or right or wrong - but its concerning nonetheless. Appreciate your thoughts!

[Jaspershreds @JasperShreds]

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Im referring to this

[Jaspershreds @JasperShreds]

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Fair enough. There have been lots of things that hurt canadian businesses. Our gdp only grew like 2% in 10 years. What else can we do to fix our economy?

[Jaspershreds @JasperShreds]

@Ris3swithSun @guyfelicella @grok You are quite the keyboard warrior

[Jaspershreds @JasperShreds]

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Im glad we both agree there is a fentanyl problem here, and I think we can do better here.

Tariffs are a tax on americans, not us. We should be doing everything possible to get our economy back in order - blaming the US for everything isn’t going to solve our problems.

[Jaspershreds @JasperShreds]

One of his points was that canada is not a major source of fentanyl trafficking. I personally know people who have died from fentanyl overdoses.

Im not a big fan of trump and his decisions but im just observing the fact that there is a discrepancy between what our politicians are saying vs what the rcmp are saying.
