I have really enjoyed reading the comments with regard to music theory and much more in this topic. What I enjoy so much is that difficult subjects, to the extent possible, are explained in rudimentary ways that I can understand.
My thanks goes out to Jason Mendelson and John Biscuti for all their efforts here. As in all of the topics, the strength is in the dialog and sharing among all posters that makes this work. I don't mean to leave out any of the contributors, clearly there is a long list.
Sometimes we perform at levels of complexity that we don't understand. I now know of scales that I play routinely, that I never realized. While I don't sound any better at least I understand what I am playing in more depth.
I am reminded of the great B.B. King answer to the question, what chords are you playing B.B., to which he replied "I don't know, I don't know no chords."
Keep up the fantastic work everyone, I'll be reading.

"Useless" knowledge? Far from it.... One of my biggest regrets in life is that I did not major in music-- I know I would be a much better musician today if I had learned all of that theory stuff!
Of course there is still the challenge of making my fingers actually do the work, LOL!

My pleasure Jason. It was long overdue.
