@roger_holland like many expressions, I think the meaning is not well conveyed in a literal translation. But certainly learning guitar is an endeavour in which you meet many facets of real life.
@TheMadman_tobyjenner I enjoyed your 3-2-1, Toby, and had to go-to-google to make sense of the picture. I guess over time all this loodles and noodles could be consigned to the bin, as they serve an immediate purpose to learn. If not the bin the private archive so one can come back months and years later and hopefully appreciate significant improvement.
@Socio thanks James. I think the concept can serve one well as soon as one takes those first steps into making music with single notes from a minor pentatonic or major scale. I’d have to go scan the Grades to see exactly when that may be. It is not absolutely necessary to add that forth note that is played with a bend.
