I’ve just finished my crash course on music theory using videos I searched for, all of which covered music theory specifically for guitar!
This was super important and a pretty big step forward for me, considering that now I understand keys and scales and how those go together; specifically that your notes and chords should be inside the same key to sound good together (unless you’re experimenting with Non-Diatonic).
My next step is memorizing the basic open chords: E, E-minor, A, A-Minor, G, C, D, and F.
After that, I’m going to be learning the first position pentatonic scale and memorizing all notes on the fretboard up to the fifth fret.
In between all that, I plan to practice the major scales in order to figure out what scale/key I want my first song to be in.
Im playing with the idea of releasing a single then an album, just out of curiosity.
Do you ever just sit there and listen to a stray kids song? Like, really LISTEN?
I want so badly to sit there in the room while they make a song. Like, to be a fly on the wall in that room-
I’m absolutely obsessed with whats going on in Easy, Domino or Maniac.
I love the tiny little vocal sound bites or the instruments that are so quiet you barely notice them but they absolutely help fill the space.
There’s so much you don’t notice unless you sit there and piece through all the layers yourself. I sit there and look like I’m concentrating on a wall so hard lmao
And I will die if I don’t get to ask them who made Venom and to walk me through everything they did to make it. That song tickles my brain and I need to know how it was made.
