Well, it's pretty common to see people nowadays saying they "self studied" or "self learnt" an instrument...and it sounds pretty cool...is it, though? Well, to be very honest, I've never tried self learning any instrument per se, but I have friends and acquaintances who have done so, and I myself tried self-learning a lot of other things. So, you can reckon that with my experience, and what I've seen, one could possibly analyze whether self-learning will be a stupid decision for them , or a wise decision for them . Notice how I put emphasis on "for them". That's because Self Study is very subjective. It works well with some people, and it just doesn't work for others...This doesn't mean some are smart and some are dumb, it just means that self study naturally suits some people, while others have to really struggle with it, and in the end still not get results they may desire.

I had uploaded an article long, long ago about the jobs that one can get in the music industry. I will add a link to that article after this article ends...

Now I'm sure a lot of you will say " When you love something and you want to do it, money doesn't matter." uhhh yes it does!   Money matters a lot. If you want to live a comforta

There are a lot of us who want to learn a lot of things in music because it "looks cool" or you just can't wait to learn it because it sounds so good...well, here I am with another article, rather some advice on how to go about learning arpeggios. We all know what arpeggios is...most of you will say "yeah...uh...it's that cool thing which people do on the guitar so smoothly.." and other variations of that. Personally, I think it's very important to know what you're getting into by explanation before you learn it. Don't worry, I'll cover everything in the simplest language possible. What is Arpeggios? You have a chord. You know the notes of the chord.
