. . . and yours too. So let’s go throught some, k? As a warning, I seriously really do like music theory, and if I’m going waaay over your head at any point just let me know. I get carried away sometimes. So where do we start? That depends on where you are. like I mentioned before, I’m going to assume you play guitar and have some experience. This is mostly based on the conversations I’ve had with Chris, Chris, and James from team B, so if you want in, and play the zither or something, let me know and we’ll fit you in.
Keys. In the guitar world (and in most other instrument worlds as well), keys are very important and show you what you are allowed to play. What keys do you play in? Guitarist find keys with sharps the most comfortable, since they avoid barring more. So C,D,E,G,and A are very good keys for you to play in. My old youth minister would play every song in G or E because it was easier that way. And ya know, if it fits in the vocal range, it wouldn’t be bad to do that. That can also help with your theory trying to figure out how to change a song from Ab to G. If you are not playing in one of these keys, it might be a good idea to use a capo. For example, if a key is in F#, you can capo to the second fret and play it in E. This flexes your mind as well. I also recomment you start working on scales. Scale patterns are mostly moveable, so you can use the same pattern for different keys, and it’s a great way to learn the neck. Since we’re starting in Latin countries, make sure you practice your minor scales too. I would focus on the melodic minor rather than the natural or harmonic minor (does your head hurt yet).
Okay, I just realized I threw alot out there, so I’m gonna leave it at that, and give you time to look at it and ask questions. We’ll give it a few days, and I’ll post on any questions you might have. Peace.
