another update
Hi guys, sorry. I planned to be active again. Unfortunately, for a moment, it seems I have to take a step back, as much as it pains me. I do not know if I ever disclosed it, but my grandfather has cancer. He has been battling it for 3 years now, and although it was in remission, it has returned. So, this is something I have to be there for my family for. I will be dropping and going through the courses as I can still, and in the meantime, I hope you all are well.

Update
Hey guys, sorry I've been extremely inactive these past few weeks. As mentioned, went on vacation, got back and got sick. Also have been addressing stuff to start school in April, and just other life stuff all at once. I'm here, I'm still keeping at it and diligent, just haven't had time to participate recently. However, that should change the next couple days as things are winding down. Here is some of what I've been doing for my Not Again cover. The mixing is garbage as I'm still learning to navigate daws, and the playing is sloppy. But I'm really working on it all .

The Powers of Ten Movie 1977
This is what Inspired Shawn to name his Album Powers of Ten. The Original Artwork was from this movie but Warner thought it was too Scientific so they made him use the Two hands. Powers of Ten Live however, he finally got to use photos from the book/ movie. He thought it was very fascinating how when you zoom way out into outer space you have some almost identical images as when we zoom way into the human hand.

@John D I think I have a good grasp on the linking mentality already as it's how I have always learned. I have, and have always had severe ADHD, and learned from a very young age how to essentially brain hack myself into memorization skills. Applying is something I've always been good at and you're absolutely right about the brain hurting part. I've been going deeper into more complex music theory concepts and often times by the end of study session I feel exhausted and near a headache. But have also noted that the next day I wake up with a eureka moment as a start going back over those things. Patterns and identifying them is a skill I've always been innate with, but the breaking down to just two topics is something I definitely struggle with. I tend to try and obtain, absorb, and understand every detail at once, much to a detriment as you mentioned. Never figured out how to identify or acknlowedge how to fix that until you just mentioned that. I will definitely look into everything you mentioned and do my best to start applying and learning from them. I've always been on the fence of AI just because of the arts side of it being deplorable in my personal opinion. But I can imagine as a place of literaty learning or breaking down theories and concepts it's highly useful. All of it is helpful and I welcome any suggestions as I mentioned, so I will take these into serious consideration.

@John D oh, I forgot to mention. You touched on crossing ideas from one su ject into music, something I already have been doing. Superstring, from what I can tell, is theoretical and nothing more. Interesting, but has no actual grounds of reality. However, I instantly had a relation moment when reading about it. The idea of having one time dimension and 9 spatials is easily applied and superimposed in to music. Taking a tonal center or key center, and finding 9 other triads, chords, arpeggios, or variations thereof to incorporate into those keys.

Fun assignment for everyone! Also Shawns Quad Delay!
Here is a backing track I did as I am experimenting now with Quad Delays like Shawn use to use both clean and Distorted as I was messing with it a little bit last week when we went live. I want yall to record yourselves playing over this and post it!

@Jimmy Hudson i never would have thought about quad delay. I messed around with double delays way back in high school. I had a Boss loop station and two dd3ts. I would set mid reverb on my orange amp, loop some riff, and see what weird sounds i could get
