    "Oh yeah, and you can do this"... "Oh, yeah, you can do this too, just to add some flavor"... "And you can do this too, just to add your own individuality"... "Consider it a sentence, where you can do this."... And that, my friends, is where masters go, thinking we can follow it, at all. Thank you, Mark, for 1) sharing this, and 2) thinking we have any chance at all of keeping up. You're awesome, sir.

    I'm glad I clicked on the link, real nice ideas and playing. Lately I've been researching and thinking about getting the voicelive play 3 Extreme, I do have the earlier white unit. I'm still on the fence because I was hoping maybe they'd be coming out with a newer version voicelive soon and reading some negative reviews of it being not reliable. I emailed TC electronic and waiting for them to get back to me in the next couple of days for some questions on it.

      Practice. Music theory is like math, you just gotta do it. musictheory.net and teoria.org are great places to start, from there it's best to take songs you love and slowly work on transcribing them to figure out what they're doing and why you like it.

      It is doable. I learned music theory from the "World Book Encyclopedia" ... In 1968 I just had to know and looked up music in the book... The info is everywhere, and really... it's not that hard to grasp once you start practicing it. I know you could do it.. I trust you.

      He means stacked fourth intervals aka 'stacked fourths', or just 'fourths'. E.g. C-F-Bb is three fourth intervals "stacked". Another example: E-A-D
