What's on your mind?

Really, it's that involved huh?

I guess you gotta really like it to have the dedication necessary to get good at it.

Piano has got to be easier on the fingers than a guitar...no?

For sure, when I was younger (before I took a hiatus) and was learning guitar, my fingers bled from pressing down the strings. I had to build up calluses in order for the bleeding to stop. I think I can only call myself decent because I don’t practice as much as many other guitarists.

Awsssss...oommmeee!

I just deduced that E# = F...all on my own!

Well, just by working through a Wholetone exercise.

Oh yeah, and I learned that E to F is not a Wholetone...!

 

[Tone]

E# = F.

So, they're the same note (frequency) yet with different designators. They are called "Enharmonic Intervals".


And why do they have different names? It just depends on the way one is approaching the communication...so the music is done in decency and order, so that others may follow along.

Yes, there are two instances of this

Do tell!

Do tell!

B goes immediately to C, E goes immediately to F

"Tonality is the arrangement of pitches and/or chords of a musical work in a hierarchy of perceived relations, stabilities, attractions and directionality. In this hierarchy, the single pitch or triadic chord with the greatest stability is called the tonic. The root of the tonic chord forms the name given to the key; so in the key of C major, the note C is both the tonic of the scale and the root of the tonic chord (which is C–E–G). Simple folk music songs often start and end with the tonic note."
Tonality - Wikipedia

My music instructor just described the tonic as your "homebase" on a nice parcel of land.

Nnnniiiccceee!

When you raise the 7th tone in a scale...you got a leading tone, which pulls it all back to the tonic.

Feels like springtime over here in Cali., which is pretty alright with me!

After a couple months of engaging in online debate, I have to say, it is MUCH easier now. Thanks to growing closer to God and taking my mentor's advice in learning the Fruit of the Spirit, I don't even recognize myself anymore.

With online debates, I learned that I have to swallow my pride and know when to walk away. I understand everyone is scared because of COVID-19, everyone is angry because of world politics, and many people only have the internet for human contact outside of their homes...

...But people REALLY need to calm down and apply the Fruit of the Spirit in their owns lives. I recently realized that the Fruit of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5:7-26 is actually the Biblical version of Emotional Intelligence.

Self-Awareness - Humility to give oneself honest assessments of his/her own competence. Pride will only discourage Peace and Joy for everyone involved.
Self-Regulation - Self-Control, Patience, and Faithfulness. Promotes Peace and Joy in self and others.
Social Skills - All of these Fruits of the Spirit promote pro-social behaviour, which is the long-term goal of social skills. These lead to Peace and Joy.
Empathy - Love, Kindness, Gentleness, and Goodness. Gives Peace and Joy to self and others.
Motivation - Pleasing God should be our main motivation in life, first and foremost. Eventually leads to eternal Peace and Joy.

The Bible has taught me much, such as managing finances, what healthy relationships looks like, and even emotional intelligence! Hallelujah!

This is what I heard just now:

I know what you meant by that picture every time you posted it, but, ... I don't know; the wolf kind of looks annoyed at having to hug a human, there.

It comes in handy whenever I am playing poker.

Wow, the female incel subreddits have been banned. On one hand it's nice to see the left being consistent for once and banning misogynistic subreddits and misandrist subreddits.. although at the same time.. I'll miss reading those crazy posts from those messed up women.. lol.
