-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Welcome to a new Q&A session! Today, music theory vs ear training: the eternal debate. And how as much as I love music theory and it's indispensable to teach, I really believe that if you can hear it, you can play it. Also, I'll dive a little bit into the use of three notes per string patterns. Are they useful for modal playing or are they just a mechanic device? And finally: Gear. You don't need the most expensive equipment, but investing on a basic recording rig can open a world of possibilities.
