congrats on your persistence. It has to be feeling good. Sometimes all I am left with is persistence. Well done.

Clever then, Still Clever now. Now we need the virus march to the St James infirmary. So ready to put it to bed.

Good question Mark. Put as much time into memory improvement as you find beneficial. More memory capacity sounds good to me. I have the memory of a gnat so even if i were to double it, I still am pretty weak. It is why I focused on how the puzzle all fits together rather than try to memorize this section or that section. Now I can play anything even if I have never heard it before. The more I go down the endless road the easier it becomes to recognize the clues as to where a song is going. One example is if I hear a 7chord it is telling me we are going somewhere I just have to figure out where. In key of G I hear the D and know it is the 5 chord and if I hear it with the 7 giving it that little twangy pull most of the time we are heading back to the G chord. If I am on a G and I hear C followed by a chromatic tone 99% of the time I am going to a D chord. Over time it has become intuitive (for me it is seemingly ungodly amounts of time but to be fair I am average or average- in musical aptitude). Super fun process as long as I stay in the process. Whatever you do just keep playing. Play more when you can. I guess my answer would be: memorizing is too granular for what I have upstairs, I telescope out and try to take in the biggest part of the picture I can stand.

Very Nice @gwynne . I am a fairly linear scale person myself. The great thing about this one is once you get this scale down you have access to the 12 other major scales. Same pattern just different starting points. Small win for sure.

Well this scandinavian (yours truly) would be happy sharing the mountain with another boulder roller. I am just sad that I have to wait until it gets to the bottom before I can start rolling it up again.

Mark Says:
“I like to use the tabs for the Daily Lessons. I guess my thought was- (and maybe this works along with your responses)- in some way– does just “playing only what your seeing” actually hinder a person’s ability to “learn”, or “see”, or “feel”, or “anticipate” the music? Wow- this is really hard to express in words, but I hope you get “the drift” of what I’m saying.”
Me:
<font face=”inherit”>Ya Buddy I get the drift. I am laughing because the way my head works TAB is my last resort when all else fails. I have not developed that skill at all. I say keep developing that skill but be aware there are others and they are different. Here at TAC you CAN do both if you want. I don’t think one hinders the other. They might possibly be mutually </font>beneficial<font face=”inherit”>. You can be a good swimmer and a good runner. I love pushing boulders </font>uphill. I just worry we may run outta hill,….nahhhhhhh.

Likewise @Mike-Gaurnier , I prefer reading what you have to say rather than interpreting your emoji😉
