i had a major breakthrough last night & today so wanted to share in case anyone else is working on something along these lines. I”ve been stuck on this for quite a while so this is huge for me. So long as I digest it throughly before I eat again 😎. Playing all 7 chords in the same position I think what really helped understand triads and the fretboard more is the note/scale/chord relationship! I drew it out on paper one chord at a time but stating within 0-5 pentatonic boundary. Sorry if it’s super confusing but the point is in there. John let me know…..

I just wanted to connect with some music friends who I could really relate to, but it seems like this space is filled with ego and competition instead of connection. Why is it so hard for us to simply appreciate each other’s art? There’s no “best” when it comes to creativity music is meant to be expression, emotion, and shared experience. It should be about inspiration, not comparison. Can’t we just celebrate each other and the unique voices we bring to the world? Isn’t that what art is really about?

I was scrolling in the am drinking coffee and just enjoying what I was seeing. That’s when I came upon this old band and instantly remembered why I play guitar….. 🔥 Maybe not for everyone but this type or raw. unadulterated, percussive chug and thunder! What got you into guitar? I’d love to see and hear from you all in our community. Been quiet 🤷‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX3a-X7I7aw/?igsh=MWNheTR4dmloOHdjNQ==

As I was going through posts and just checking in when I thought what does progress look like for others? I’m learning about myself and how progress pops up when you’re not looking! I’m just keeping my perspective and feeding passion. The other day I was able to see a new layer on the fretboard. Cmaj all over the fretboard including chords, triads, 7th chords, Dom7th, and which pentatonic box is above and below me. After the first two years I learned how much there is to learn or how much I don’t know 🤯 Redirect - wow I’ll always be able to pickup my guitar and never run out of things to do. Progress as Steve always says happens in small increments but compound over time. So yes looking at one month vs one year is a huge difference. That gives me the motivation to keep on truckin. I heard someone say that most are not capable of understanding a billon vs a million so it made me think of the developing musician. We don’t know how vast music really is so I thought this was neat. There are approx 11 days is 1 million seconds but 31.7 years in 1 billion. The paradox here for me is mindset and grace. No matter how hard you work things take time. Why does it matter when or how you get it as long as you get it, right?
