I dreamed that I connected with Keanu Reeves as us just being two people, younger, who knew of each other in passing, as if we had gone to the same schools but had been on different class tracks.
He was totally approachable, and we got to talking about bass and rhythm guitar. I asked him how to approach learning them more easily – should I just first learn scales and harmonies?
Then, we dove into discussing the bass, and he introduced me to this amazing university instructor who would have us read chapters and passages of a historical text that briefly examined the chords that would have been played per period of past timeline cultures and events.
We (students) were to emulate the feel and atmosphere of how the music would have been played and presented to one’s peers at relaxed social gatherings.
Nothing complex, just the basics – and I found this fascinating!
Chords, scales, melodies, harmonies, and progressions according to regions and thematic-inspired inventions!
Of course, the class was expensive, so I was trying to figure out how to afford it.
