Here is the discussion on the triad example. Not sure thats how you spell it. Lets add to the scale discussion. Use the cirlce of fiths chart again. We talked before about the single notes in the scale and how the pattern repeats itself. WS WS HS…

This is the narrative onthe single note example. This will be elementary to many of you. I have found it very useful to think of the circle of 5ths in a linear way when applying it to the guitar. When I play a major, minor or pentatonic scale, I…

Neenie. Once again you have been silent for months. What did you think of the circle of fifths examples? There are narratives on this site that explain what I was trying to get at. Give me some feedback on them if you get a chance.

Richie, great job last night at Riley's I wish I could have stayed longer. We are having some challenges with my oldest step daughter. If you feel like it, give me some contact info and when I get over to Missoula I will try to look you up.…

I have been here for over 3 years now. It was a challenge at first because it was such a different industry than healthcare. Steve Mergenthaler, the owner, is a very good guy. I feel the same about my Taylors. I would never trade them in. I might…

An 814 and a 614? That's great! My Taylor has made me a much better guitar player. It makes me want to play and improve. Bob and I are still at J&H selling Kronos. Some things never change! We're blessed as business has been very…

Hey Don. I have two Taylors. One 814ce and one 614ce. I think they are both awesome. I am working for a trucking company called Mergenthaler Transfer and Storage. I do their finance stuff. Are you still selling Kronos? Where is Kronos Bob?

Hey, Doug! Nothing like a DELAYED response, huh? Is that a Taylor you're playing? Which model? I play a 514ce and love it! Where are you working these days? Don

Great Neenie. Keep up the good work. I bet you will really enjoy that book. I have given out about 10 or 12 copies to friends and aquaintances over the years. One thing Robben Ford always says at his seminars is "Don't ever forget. There…

At 5:25am on January 5, 2010, Doug Melton said…: My mother was a piano player. I know all the lyrics and tunes to just about every broadway musical by heart. My family moved from Helena to Southern California in 1968 when I was in the 5th grade. It was like culture shock. Started listening to the Doors, The Beatles White Album and lots of other stuff. My first song on guitar was Don't Think Twice Its Alright. The second was Blackbird and then Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins. Played off and on over the years until about 13 years ago when my ex wife got me some lessons from Darrell Casey. I have been taking lessons from him every Tuesday morning ever since. Never gets old. Darrell is a great player. The Zen guitar book is awesome. You should get it. I got it at a one day guitar seminar I went to in Santa Barbara by Robben Ford. He is a very good jazz / blues guitarist. I have been to about 6 or or 7 of his seminars. Stay in touch Neenie. I think your family is cool. I don't know your brothers or your Dad but your mom and sister are such nice people. I have 3 brothers, all younger, and 5 sisters 3 older and 2 younger.

At 9:35am on January 2, 2010, neenie asay said…: lol. thanks for getting on me! to be honest i completely forgot about this...terrible i know. i've been working non-stop. itt was a long stretch but i actually just had my last day and am so excited to get back into music. not having time for music and things like that in my life was actually a big part of me taking a step back from my awesome but time consuming job! i have to say i so appreciate you hounding me - keep it up, please!

just bought a water violet bow...super awesome and has completely changed my sound. I'm looking for a good way to jump start myself back into fiddling. any ideas?
