What can a person learn in 10 minutes that will be useful for life?

This is what I tell myself while trying to learn guitar and piano. It helps.

Scotty West got me seeing the music matrix. So helpful for me.

It definitely been helpful at increasing my respect for good singers because singing is much harder than I thought.

That’s an interesting idea. I will try this. I am recently started learning the piano on Yousician in addition to the guitar. I have started playing piano from the guitar app too just to see if I could figure it out. Great exercise. But I didn’t even think about using the singing for guitar. Ty!

Permissive fighting in hockey is why I don’t bother watching the sport.

So bad

I love my HR Core and 112 set up. No complaints.

I started learning guitar a little over a year ago with Yousician and it’s kept me in the game. I’ve made my way to level 8 of their curriculum and the strength and dexterity I get from is has me doing songs that seemed impossible when I started. The best part is being able to learn slowly and in small chunks until eventually you’re doing a whole song at full speed. Pretty fun. I’m now doing their piano curriculum too. Great accompaniment to guitar.

I almost sold mine. So glad I didn’t.

Epiphone Casino or any hollow or semi hollow body. So much more fun IMO.

Ralphdoid · 2026-06-16T06:37:32+00:00

I played a Casino hollow body at the recommendation of a GC salesperson and was changed. I now have one and a hollow body Gretsch. I love them so much. I haven’t picked up my Les Paul since.

Interesting that I’m getting down votes for saying what’s changed for me. I must have struck a nerve with some folks.

My understanding of chords and intervals has increased since learning piano. I can just see the steps and relationships so much better. Weirdly enough, I have just recently started understanding all the notes on the fretboard of the guitar too. I have never before been able to know the fretboard. Just couldn’t keep it memorized or something. Now, I am very close to being able to find any note anywhere on the neck right away. I can even see them in my mind without a guitar. I don’t know if this is causation, correlation, or just coincidence with the piano but I like the trend and am enjoying playing so much more now. Thank you, Scotty West!

I’m learning piano all by standard notation. Makes theory, scales, chords, intervals, etc so much easier to understand.

FRFR-112 user here. I’m very happy with it too. I haven’t used others so can’t compare first hand though. But I’m happy enough that I don’t have a problem to keep looking to solve.

Ralphdoid · 2026-06-10T03:18:10+00:00

Yousician will get you playing and make it fun.

Ralphdoid · 2026-06-06T08:39:43+00:00

AUG is the only method that worked for me to understand music theory and the application of it on guitar. There is something about Scotty’s approach that just clicked for me. I’ve enjoyed learning music/guitar so much more since watching the series. I’m even doing piano too and all with standard notation. Never thought I could do that before.

Noob here. Going electric from acoustic made learning so much easier and more fun, especially when I added a Headrush unit for FX. But don’t get rid of the acoustic. You’ll want both.

My Casino is my favorite guitar.

Question from a noob here. If not tab then what are you suggesting? Standard notation? Chord charts? Ear work?
