You’ve Never Seen the Major Scale Like This: A Cosmic Story in Sound
|
Hey Reader, I just made something wild — and I think you’re going to love it. It’s a 1:30 min video lesson (part of a longer YouTube video I’m working on), but I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This isn’t your typical scale breakdown. It’s music the way the ancient Greeks saw it: Not as a list of notes, but as a cosmic spiral — a story unfolding through sound. Each chord, each interval carries its own psychological tension and function. I created the video 100% on my phone, using only free apps and AI tools. My first time experimenting with AI characters based on my drawings — and it turned out beautifully!

Hey Reader, I just dropped a new guitar lesson — and this one’s a little different. 🎸 It’s Bésame Mucho, the timeless Latin ballad we all know and love… But this time, I’m joined by none other than Pythagoras himself — yep, the ancient Greek philosopher playing guitar, in a wild, time-traveling duo. This one’s part sketch, part serious lesson, and surprisingly educational. Expect a few laughs and a lot of musical insight. Watch the full video here: 👉 Click Here to Watch on YouTube I've used...
Hey Reader, Ever wanted to add that exotic, Mediterranean sound to your playing? In this new guitar lesson, I dive into a Balkan melody and show you how to create those flowing, emotional lines using two key techniques: 🎶 Tertian harmony - stacking notes in thirds to create melodic depth 🎶 Trills - those quick, vocal-like embellishments that give Eastern music its signature flair Plus, we’ll break down how to solo over the I-bVII progression (A-G) using the Mixolydian scale - a sound that’s...
Hey Reader, You might have heard me talk and write about the Circle of Fifths and how powerful it can be for guitar players. This one minute video brings the Circle to life with dynamic visual animation - not just what it is, but how you can use it instantly on your guitar to unlock all keys - and chord progressions. The best part? You already know the Circle - it's hidden in plain sight, right in the standard guitar tuning! I've expanded the concept into a short, easy-to-follow animation....
