Hi, I'm a guitar player who switched to keys about 7 years ago. Back in college after 35 years where I flunked theory twice. Studying guitar again. Over the years I retained enough info to have become a fairly proficient Pop/Blues keyboardist. Now playing with two performing bands in Wichita, Ks. One phrase that has stuck with me all these years from my theory prof, was, "Beethoven, Johnny Cash and John Lennon all have one thing in common". Of course we wer thinking - What the hell could that be? And it was, I, IV, V. He also said there is no mathematical resolution to the ways you can configure scales, It Is Infinitesimal. That is why there are thousands of songs in Keys like, C, F, E A and D. All based on that little bit of magical, sexy, absolutely simple theory trick. Know this and music becomes a whole new world. I just joined this site, and I think I'm going to like it.
