As the great Les Paul said, The more you learn about Guitar/Music. The more you realize you know nothing... The things one can do with guitar are limitless. Peace... Hello Charley, you may be a little older than I. However, I totally agree with you about music theory. Back at the beginning of time when I started playing guitar it was all about learning riffs, chords and what not. I played in bands live. However, I never learned the theory. Now that I am old and gray, theory is about all I really want to learn 🤣. It helps me understand what I'm playing and I play better knowing it!

LoL... yep, That's why they call me OG... I'm seem to be the Old Guy in what ever circle. I know right... Started playing guitar 57 years ago. I've played at many levels. Bands, Session and so on. But dig. Life happens Sevier Motor Cycle Accident and boom all that was gone. Funny though, I could play but I didn't understand. After a number of years it started coming back. When I was Younger I was all bout Jazz and Blues In College. Love the Blues, and Jazz is, well, it's just plain fun. I love Theory, I it's the heart beat of everything. Yes, I must admit at many points it very boring. But, it all ties together and revelations begin and Boom... MUSIC! Music is my life. Really the only thing that has been with me all my life. And when I found HP many years ago. It pulled me out of a rut, a rut that I thought I'd never get out of. I look at my Instruments completely different... Yes Theory is very important... But HP Plays... Oh man... Love the style. Will I ever be able to do that... Well HP Says If I practice... Sure toss in some OG style and boom... It's all about the groove... Nice to meet you Michael, I'm back and it's time to have some fun! Randy and Michael Bates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a very cool tool today... it's free (of course there is an upgrade), but the free part is more than enough to work with. I dig this tool... it's called Fretastic - A Free Interactive Guitar Fretboard App the best I've ever worked with... check it out...
