One Three Five
June 10th, 2016 at 11:21 am EDTHey Friend, Yesterday, I quickly went over the pitches (or notes) that make up the key of D major. Here's a quick review: D E F# G A B C# (D) As you can see, each pitch has a different letter assigned, and the pattern repeats itself starting with t ...
The Key Holds The Building Blocks
June 9th, 2016 at 11:15 am EDTHey Friend, Because we're going to do some in-depth study of chords, expect this series to go pretty long. I haven't yet determined how granular we'll get, but I can guarantee it will be a learning process for both of us! I've learned a lot about ...
Let's Work With D
June 8th, 2016 at 11:15 am EDTHey Friend, Wednesday! We're half way to the weekend - that which everybody's working for... After some thought, I've decided to start with the key of D major. It seems to be a sweet spot for Rock music, so it's as good a place to start as any othe ...
How About Both?
June 7th, 2016 at 11:16 am EDTHey Friend, Woo, what a long day! I got to the job site on time and made it until the end of the day without crashing, but I'm glad I only have to do this for a few weeks! The little survey I sent out yesterday has yielded some results. So far, the ...
Pick Your Poison
June 6th, 2016 at 11:18 am EDTHey Friend, I flew back to Fayetteville this morning, and boy are my arms tired! Ba da, boom. Sorry, couldn't resist. I guess that's what happens on 4 hours of sleep. My flight was leaving at 0530 hours (that's 5:30 AM for you non-military/medical ...
House Full of People
June 5th, 2016 at 11:23 am EDTHey Friend, As of 10:00 last night, the population in our house increased 125%! And everyone was up nice and early, so getting some quiet time to collect my thoughts has been impossible. The next two days are going to be crazy! I'm feeling bad becaus ...
Dual Lives
June 4th, 2016 at 11:16 am EDTHey Friend, I'm back in the crib! Yesterday was a long day for sure, but aren't they all? I get to do it all over again on Monday. While I'm home I'll be trying to catch up on everything that has fallen behind over the past week, including giving my ...
Travel Guitar?
June 3rd, 2016 at 12:00 pm EDTHey Friend, Travel Friday! So I'm considering purchasing a "You Rock Guitar." What's a "You Rock Guitar," you ask? It's actually a virtual controller set up as a guitar that you can also use to play other virtual instruments. Even though I'm only ...
Making Friends
June 2nd, 2016 at 11:20 am EDTHey Friend, Well, I have confirmed there is no guitar shop in Lumberton. Yesterday it came out at work that I'm a guitar player. Fayetteville does indeed have the closest music store, and I don't have a schedule that will let me get up there... T ...
No Guitar Shops...
June 1st, 2016 at 11:10 am EDTHey Friend, Yesterday was a long day, for sure. I started looking for music shops in little Lumberton, North Carolina. Sad to say, but it looks like the closest guitar shop is up in Fayetteville. So no fun for Davey while I'm here. At least on ...
