    Question about the circle of fifths!

    As someone who has studied music since 1994, I don't think I have all the scales memorized yet. I still go about it note by note. But yeah, if you no longer wish to use the circle, then memorizing them keys is the only way to go. You'll get there in time.

    Question about the circle of fifths!

    Guitars are sounding alright, the only thing I'd change is to make sure the clean notes, in the beginning, are played in a tad more legato fashion. It should add a bit more fluency to the song.

    Hm, always wanted to know the difference, thank you Mariler for reading my mind, now get out of there :LOL:. Are active pickups like...always active? Or can you still use the pickup selector to change between them? I never had an active pickup installed on my guitars so I really don't know...

    Question About A Scale Formula
