Thanks, Hattio.
If the current overwhelming lack of interest lets up, encouraging me to revise it, I'll incorporate your suggestions.

ApK--I thought you did a marvelous job with your primer. I especially appreciated learning all the interval names. That was a lot of work and you deserve many thanks.
So here's one:
Thanks!

Hey, that was easy...wonder if I needed a license to fish for compliments around here?
Seriously, thanks, guys.
And about Tuckerman, yeah, I guess it's a double edge sword, but once you can play G, C and D, there's so much to do, it's tempting to stop with all the silly book learning and just make music.
As one book put it "Careers have been launched on less."
Hope you're having fun out there!

Want to voice my thanks as well.
I had a bit of an incident with a jam bustin' prima donna last night that has shaken my confidence and sent me running back to the closet to learn some music theory before I venture out and try to taking a lead break again with that particular fellow. Your primer is logical, concise and easy to understand. It will keep me company nicely along with PickL's 'useful bluesy pattern for new players' while I work to regain my confidence.

Yeah I don't have a book. My instructor (which I would pay just to hear him play) just has all these print outs and he scratches out cord shapes and different scales for me always with the 1,4,5 highlighted. He said I'm lucky I found him because I could have found a instructor that just hands me a book with no expiation for why the stuff in the book is important or how it relates to jamming out.

Thanks for so simply stating what I have been trying to instill in one of my students.
Needless to say, I have printed a hardcopy for him and have insisted that he keep it
with him for reference 24/7. He is a great kid with no self-confidence and a learning dis-
ability, but I have learned to present with multi views of the same information until
the light bulb comes on. Very satisfying.
Thanks again.

That is truly gratifying to hear, I'm glad it was helpful!
It is possible for some people to learn to play -- really well -- by just watching and listening to another player. But if words and numbers come into it, as they must for many of us, I think it's important to be comfortable with what the words and numbers mean.
That's a mark of a good educator! Satisfying indeed!Originally Posted by stratman62

mandoannie,
Please don't let the jam busting prima donna keep you from playing out. If anything, I would wait until he's there and intentionally screw up. Play your best, then right before you end it, look right at him and go completely off key. He'll get the picture eventually and shut the hell up.
