I've got some savings from wageslaving and I've got a lot of time on my hands but little to do. I thank God that I'm not in some hedonistic stupor with porn or drugs or alcohol or something but really I'm kind of lost. What are some goals I can set for myself. Clearly this forum is full of enlightened White Christian men and so of course I'm grateful to have the best group of people on the whole entire earth to ask. Should I look for a wife? Study something to get a decent career going?
*Piano for Dummies* is an excellent tool for learning the basics of music theory because all the piano's notes are laid out in one nice little row. It really makes understanding concepts like scalar intervals and chord structure accessible.
On a guitar the notes are repeated on each string, staggered by a fourth, *and* there's *six* of them. It's like the 3D version of a 2D object.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but I would *not* start with *Guitar* for learning music theory. It sounds like a tedious, frustrating method and I'm wondering if it even works for anybody.
