I was reviewing some previous ( way back) posts and this one really made me think! Here is an excerpt from Guitar Zoom owner/creator: “There is actually no substitute for a great instructor. I had a guy in college who was about 100 years old. (At least I thought he was when I was 18). His name was Dr. Williams. He was a strange dude. Rode his bike to work, wore shorts, and sneakers... in the winter. In Rochester, NY. After I flunked out of theory, I went to him for help. He spent countless hours with me. One-on-one in his tiny office. Helping me get my head around diatonic scales, key signatures, harmonization, modes, chord progressions, and all the fundamentals of music theory. It took me ONE YEAR to finally "get it." And once I did, I was able to help other music majors who were struggling with theory. I would have NEVER been able to do that by myself.” -Dan Denley VERY MOTIVATING 🤘 I’m so grateful to be part of this community. Especially when everyone here shares their Wins, Struggles, Questions, with the same passion for the love of learning music Dan made some really great points that resonates; NEVER without help & ONE YEAR Case in point; ONE YEAR ago I would never have been able to have a real conversation with a musician. NEVER would have established relationships between Notes and Chords, Scales and Intervals, pitch and resonance. Please don’t misread this and think all these things came together in ONE YEAR😂😂😂 That’s the beginner brain thinking - until you learn how much you don’t know this probably won’t mean much. But for those here obviously have a love for playing music. That ONE YEAR will happen if you stick with it and have a guitar mentor. If a professional musician is telling you they didn’t “GET IT” on their own why would we try without help? I don’t have a million dollars! But if I did; I’d bet almost anyone here, if you follow the self-specific outline created together with your instructor, you’ll “GET IT” too ❤️ Have a great day🙏
