What A Musician Needs To Know
Most of us play an instrument or another, but I wrote this from the point of view of a guitarist. By this, I mean that if a person says he knows the instrument, these are some of the basic things he should know. THEORY In this post, I will only name a few topics of theory that is necessary to know. They are: 1)Number of notes in music. 2) The formation of a major scale: the seven positions. 3)Pentatonic Minor and Blues scales. 4)The Three types of minor scales. 5)Arpeggios. 6)Chord Families. 7)Styles of Music. 8)Mode/Modal Theory. 9)Transposing. 10)Rhythm Patterns. Note that I plan on covering a topic or two of these every post from now on. So be sure to see my next blog post! Thank you.
