Comments on: Guitar Learner’s Magic Bullet: Basic Chord Theory, Just for Guitar http://gettingstartedwithguitar.net/glmbsneakprevpost with Lisa McCormick Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:48:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: brett smith http://gettingstartedwithguitar.net/glmbsneakprevpost/comment-page-1#comment-480 brett smith Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:01:36 +0000 http://gettingstartedwithguitar.net/?p=1480#comment-480 Lisa, Hi. I would be interested in your Beta testing for your guitar theory course. I am, at least in SOME ways, am an advanced player. I've studied with John Stropes (www.stropes.com) who invented a notation system for Michael Hedges' music. However, I have the background of a lot of steel-stringers: my HANDS are far better than my HEAD, and, embarrassingly, even a great deal better than my ear. Given those limitations, I can play some difficult material, quite precisely (yet with feeling.) Hah. So, I'm beginning THE RECKONING: the part where I open myself up to certain fundamental aspects of music that I was previously too impatient to learn before. That will include ear training, theory, and at least some sight reading. I think/hope I would be a good candidate for your beta test. Please let me know if you think so, and I'll even put my guitars back in standard tuning as a show of good faith! Sincerely, Brett Anthony Smith brett@aya.yale.edu Lisa,
