    Captain Ed's AOTM February 2022: Pink Floyd - The Wall

    My favorite album ever. Learned so much musically and conceptually from it. A true masterpiece of a record. Gilmour does so many simple but effective lines that I always try to remind myself of when I over complicate a piece I’m writing. “Don’t Leave Me Now” and “Waiting For the Worms” are two...

    CAGED System – Changing Pentatonic Scales – Two Chords – D & C – Lesson 29
