Ugh. LOL 😉

This will NOT succeed.

(Also -- Zappa said Mickey's book helped him get his chords up to snuff. So props are in order. More ugh. 😆)

Hey, I said that! I have mixed feelings about not learning much of the single note exercises, but I was introduced to THE book when I was 15 or 16. Kids right?

I learned what little music theory mostly from playing trumpet and baritone horn when I was a kid, studied a little bit to read bass clef 10-15 years ago. Always too lazy to learn to sight read well.

I tell students that the staff (and really, written notation in general) and the guitar aren't great friends...you want to learn to extract the needed information from the page and run away...

Starting playing git in’83 (9th grade), had lessons ‘84-‘85 (scales and chords) but couldn’t read. Then in ‘94ish I started jamming with 2 Eastman grads so I kinda needed to up my game…so I taught myself to read. Best thing I EVER did. Now reading standards (primarily jazz and showtunes, believe it or not) for practice is what I do.
