Turns out time spent thinking about your instrument, theory, relationships is just as valuable to your brain as physical practice. https://time.com/archive/6596791/the-brain-how-the-brain-rewires-itself/ So don’t come down on yourself when you hit a rut. Your brain is still working even if you think your practice isn’t showing it! Kool & Motivational.

I don’t know shite about the keys other than where they are. But theory and music comprehension can shift your perception of music as a bunch of relationships vs a bunch of notes. I’ve been studying relative pitch consistently now long enough to listen for that push or pull of your home. Kool stuff! I’m going to play around with a guitar piece for this. If anyone wants to join me please do! It might be fun going back and forth with people and different ways people use their creativity. The chart is just an illustration (yellow are your perfect notes, orange are your dissonance notes. And green are your Consonants. I’ve been messing with to make me think of music in a different way. I’ve learned at Guitar Zoom - if you want to change the way you play, you’ve got to change the way you play! lol but true..🤘

I just wanted to share with everyone who is trying to develop their relative pitch. And the ahhh moment was now I can visualize phrasing by tonal distance. Didn’t say I could apply it fully yet but should be interesting to see if my improvisation gets better. 😎🤷‍♂️

Anyone here want to take this and get creative? I upload my if you upload yours😎 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ-GoLNpTpV/?igsh=MTloNXo0dXptMzBjZg==
