      i have always sort of gotten it however. just after years of playing guitar, bass, upright bass, and i recently begun learning tuba, its just second nature to me.

      exactly. anyone can play guitar. improvisation and composing music in such a way that you could be compared to the greats is much more difficult. check out my teacher Dario Lorina

      Hi gammypage,


      Hi gammypage,

      Cool. You get it. Music is really pretty simple. It’s just so often TAUGHT really badly that everybody thinks it’s this big complicated deal.

      That said, it amazes me to this day how much you can express with this simple language.

      Continued good luck with your music.

      All the best,
      Scotty

      Wow, I’ve had the idea that learning music and learning instruments are different things, that music is a language for quite some time. But when you said it’s a very simple language compared to spoken languages like chinese ect. the penny really dropped. I have to start building my vocabulary.

      I m Hanns from québec canada…i bought the course 2 years ago….Scott is a realy good teacher…whene you take de dvd course, it really feels like you have your own private teacher. Every things he claims on his site is true. People are amaze at my progress. HIs course gave me a lot of knowlege about music. It made me realise that learning music above learning guitar is what i realy wanted.
      Thanks Scotty….and sorry i made fun of your 1999 clothing.lol

      Hi notsert123,

      I don’t know. I played keyboards for some years before I took up guitar. That’s where I learned the language. It was easier for me to pick up the guitar (and bass and sax for that matter) because I already knew the language.

      Each instrument has it’s own VOICE and attributes. You can only explore that aspect once you pick it up … but the fundamentals of the language remain the same.

      All the best,
      Scotty

      a guitar teaches you the language its not just a tool. the language isnt in your head till you pick up a guitar and start playing it.
