Exactly! Minus the gigs for me. :)

Thank you for your reply. This gets to what I'm wondering. I guess what I'm saying is, for instance, I've played guitar for awhile and have to admit most, almost all, I do by way of notes (as opposed to chords) centers around the major and relative minors and their same position pentatonic (by...
