Loading ...This Year’s Lesson
I’ve spent entirely too long trying to figure out what skill I wanted to focus on this year- what to “get another skill point in” as it were.
I really wanted to try electronics, but I think I’m going to put that off just a little bit longer. Instead I’m going to focus on learning to play the keyboard. Well, not actually how to play, but learn enough to teach myself Chord Theory. I’ve found a great site that shows the proper fingerings for piano chords which will be a great help.
I’ve also been reading a “songwriters guide” book that teach about the fundamentals of music theory. The author is pretentious, snoppy and hates anything written after the 1950′s, but he knows his stuff. If you can get past the fact that he’d be sneering at your musical taste, you can learn quite a bit.
My end goal is to eventually produce a CD so I list that as an accomplishment on my resume (for shits and giggles): “composed, arranged performed and produced ________.” It’s all about being well rounded 
So here I am, the year 2006, and my Year Lesson will be Keyboard/Chord Theory.
Wish me luck.
Well, we’ll see if you check the old posts for activity. If you want to play with some electronics maybe I would be interested in getting into that with you. It depends on what kind of electronics you are talking about. I have been looking to find a reason to pick up some more electronics knowledge.
Any interest in high voltage. Some relatively simple circuits with big payoffs.
high voltage scares me- I tend to electrocte myself frequently. I am interested in producing a couple of stomp boxes for my guitar.
