lydian chromatic theory of woof woof blah blah blah

Post 89 of 90.

Warm day, no jacket required.

Updated the Ohio Guitar Ensemble myspace page.

I chickened out on ordering George Russell's first volume about his Lydian Chromatic theory of music. I found myself reading the forums, and it seems like there's a whole new world of nomenclature to learn there, in addition to the standard system we have that already confuses the hell out of most people.

I guess I was a bit intimidated by it all.

Whether I could hear it is a whole other question, too. Without some connection to what you hear, it's hopeless.

I had my eye on Chuck Anderson's The Six Secrets of Guitar Fingerings for a while, and so ordered that instead. They'll also be sending a link to an ebook version, which is cool. I don't have to wait.
