The thing is, THINKING your way through all that theory, expecting it to magically make you PLAY better, is climbing up the wrong ladder!
And look if you haven't discoverd this yet, it’s not your fault! In this “information overload” age…
It’s all too easy for the basics to get covered up and forgotten…
Especially when you have publishers peddling all sorts of books like “1,001 chords to know”…
And the “Everything you could possibly know in 4 lifetimes about music theory” books...
Or those videos that say stuff like “10 scales you MUST know!”
“MUST” know? Says who?! Some of the greats made entire CAREERS out of just 1 or 2 scales!
Don’t get me wrong, there’s some good information out there. And sure, you can memorize some stuff...
But you can never “memorize” (AKA “think”) your way to PLAYING well...
Bottom line? The “learning loop” is a never-ending treadmill!
And the sooner you get off, the better.

Colleges need to keep selling music degrees…
And online “guitar gurus” need to keep people “liking”, “subscribing”, and WATCHING their videos!
