Self taught guitar player turned touring musician here 🙋🏼‍♂️ 🎸 It took me years figure out theory. At first i didnt think it was important as i just wanted to be a rock guitarist. How naive of me… Truth is, theres only a few things you really need to understand to play what you want. First off - the diatonic scale. Its 5 Whole steps and 2 half steps. The main one being the Major scale. I say the main one because you can create 7 scales out of this - Major (I) Minor (VI) and the other 5 modes. So right there, you have a plethora of sounds and combinations you can work into solos or chord progressions. Applying this “theory” to your practise takes a bit more work. Memorizing the relationships between intervals and how the work together to form harmony is the next step. I find apreggios and 7th chords a great way to incorporate this stuff into your playing. Learn chord inversions and practise hitting arpeggios over chord progressions to maximize your efforts. You can find more resources like this on my page if youd like (including my essential music theory guide) Best of luck 🫡

@IndianGems_ Free travel within country? 🤨

Benefits of 42% income tax in Germany: - On Job loss, the govt pays 60% of salary - 3 yrs leave on have a baby - Education is free upto PhD - For every child, get €250/mon - Free travel within country - Free Hospital - Safe Highway - Bullet train what are you getting?

@kareemformayor I think it would be better if you could just lower taxes on households earning under 250k per year

It’s time for Vancouver to stop subsidizing offshore billionaires who use our city’s services to keep their luxury yachts afloat. I will raise taxes on luxury yachts and use the funds to support food banks, doctors, and artists—things that actually matter to the people who live here!

@seanorr I guess a lot of folks are very concerned after seeing how things played out in the city

We warned that pausing supportive housing so other cities would pick up the slack would have the exact opposite effect. Looks like we were right.

@HedyFry Extortion just reached a new ATH though

Proud… Canada named recently the 2nd safest country in the world, after The Netherlands, for women, visible minorities and 2SLGBTQIA+ persons to travel. #canadarocks

My mother grew up in russian occupied east germany before the wall came down. Her only dream as a child was to one day visit relatives in west germany. She literally could not comprehend the thought of visiting a different country (because they would be shot if they tried to leave)

Capitalism breeds racism. Communism would end it.

@Dancingdog2003 @DrJacobsRad @kinsellawarren @sheridancollege @HRHealth_ LOL you like him are a terrorist supporting POS FU*K You and Israel and him

@DrewCouver56 So terrible 😞

This is Kyle. One month ago he was a son, a father, a brother — a man with a future. Today, he’s gone. The Liberal government calls it compassion. They call it safe supply. But this is what happens when we fund addiction instead of recovery. This is not compassion — this is Canada’s self-harm policy. THIS IS TORONTO.

@PaulCha94025901 @DrewCouver56 Says the keyboard warrior haha

@DrewCouver56 You’re a bitch Drew having to call the cops over to come save your ass is hilarious.

😳 Got Swarmed in Downtown Toronto — Guess Who the Cops Removed? Crazy scene at Sankofa Square (formerly Yonge-Dundas) tonight. I started getting swarmed by a few guys, told police to move them back — and guess what? They removed me instead. They said they could “tell something bad was about to happen.” They were right — but not in the way they think.

@WillBeJams Hey Will, try to play at least 1 hour a day and practice with a metronome.

@JasperShreds As someone who has just started this journey, how do I get here?

@42kareemallam Hahahahahah

Bitcoin is how drug cartels operating in Vancouver move and launder money. The crime and safety issues in our city are a direct result of this. We need to make it harder for criminals to move money with Bitcoin–not heating pools with it.

Reverb explained: A thread 🔮

@SNOSHOER Experience is the only answer

Question: how do onstage guitarists know where to find the frets/strings when standing and the guitar is moving around? Especially over the head, down low and so on. Muscle memory can only take you so far, no?

No more tears my favourite #OzzyOsbourne song. Then war pigs.

I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.  It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Hard to make sense of things when theres so many stats that can be misconstrued. I dont know if this chart is unrealistic or right or wrong - but its concerning nonetheless. Appreciate your thoughts!

@JasperShreds @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok That chart is unrealistic when real GDP growth in Canada in 2024 alone was higher than that whole chart. I will definitely agree we have tons of issues and real GDP growth per year has been far too low at about 0.8% per year over the past decade due to our stagnant economy

Woah! I sure have picked up a lot of American haters and Canadian traitors in my comments… 😂 🧵 Here’s FACTS: the existing trade agreement between Canada and the U.S. was fair, agreed to by both countries, AND NEGOTIATED BY TRUMP HIMSELF!! He said it was the best deal in history. Now that he’s determined to screw over the global economy, he’s MAKING UP BULLSHIT EXCUSES for the tariffs he’s slapping on every country in the world, even the ones with no human residents 😂 His letter to Canada is not only badly written and a grammatical car wreck, it’s filled with lies: ⚠️ Canada is NOT a major source of fentanyl trafficking into the U.S. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified UNDER OATH to Congress that Canada is not on the list of countries that poses a drug threat to the U.S. ⚠️ Canada does NOT charge tariffs up to 400% on dairy farmers. The highest possible rate is 270% BUT ONLY IF IMPORTS EXCEED THE QUOTA. They have never come close, therefore we charge ZERO tariffs on U.S. dairy. ➡️ And by the way, in 2024, the U.S. exported more than $1.1 billion in dairy products to Canada, almost 55% more than in 2020. Too bad Canadian consumers aren’t buying American anymore, so look for that number to tank. WAY TO SUPPORT AMERICAN DAIRY FARMERS DONALD 🙄 Listen MAGA: we get it. It’s hard to admit that you voted for a pathological liar, and to realize that nothing he tells you is true. The reality is he thinks it’s funny how you believe every single stupid thing he tells you. HE’S LAUGHING AT YOU. Here are just a handful of recent Trump statements the rest of the world knows are bald-faced LIES: ➡️ The federal response to deadly Texas flooding was not “heroism” like he said. It took 3 days for them to authorize funding for search & rescue. ➡️ He didn’t “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear program. ➡️ He’s not only deporting “violent criminals,” but also farm and construction workers, students, tourists and even U.S. residents. ➡️ Alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp. ➡️ His Big Beautiful Bill takes Medicaid from the poor and gives tax cuts to the rich. ➡️ He doesn’t weigh 224 pounds. ➡️ He did party with Jeffrey Epstein. Sucks to be you, hey?

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Im referring to this

@JasperShreds @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Are you using the USD to calculate our GDP growth? 2% is extremely low when real GDP is up 1.6% last year

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Fair enough. There have been lots of things that hurt canadian businesses. Our gdp only grew like 2% in 10 years. What else can we do to fix our economy?

@JasperShreds @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Tariffs still hurt Canadian businesses and putting them on us for ridiculous reasons like this is still a huge issue.

@Ris3swithSun @guyfelicella @grok You are quite the keyboard warrior

@JasperShreds @guyfelicella @grok lets destroy japser lack of correct info :) x.com/i/grok/share/C…

@Patty8764 @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok Im glad we both agree there is a fentanyl problem here, and I think we can do better here. Tariffs are a tax on americans, not us. We should be doing everything possible to get our economy back in order - blaming the US for everything isn’t going to solve our problems.

@JasperShreds @86fromspace @guyfelicella @grok There really isn't, there is a fentanyl problem in Canada but we aren't even a blip on the radar of fentanyl going into the US. Most of it enters via the ports, not land crossings in Canada he is just using it as an excuse to declare tariffs.

One of his points was that canada is not a major source of fentanyl trafficking. I personally know people who have died from fentanyl overdoses. Im not a big fan of trump and his decisions but im just observing the fact that there is a discrepancy between what our politicians are saying vs what the rcmp are saying.

@JasperShreds @guyfelicella @grok What does this have to do with what Guy is saying? The fact remains that fentanyl flowing from Canada to the US is a negligible amount.
