Happy new year friends …as 2026 begins I think it’s time we talk about the fact that the further along the road of TRULY understanding harmony that we get, one thing becomes more and more clear….there are REALLY only three chords…and everything else is really just a variant of those three chords…I actually think of them as the three “tensions” more than the three chords …as in the way that each one of the three pulls at the melody emotionally speaking

Have I ever told you guys about this nimrod David Ferrera, who calls himself “Carlos Who”? I think I did but I can’t remember…anyway here he is…
• Dec. 30 Tom Bukovac Fake Nice Guy #music #...

He constantly sends group emails to myself, Tim Pierce, Pete Thorn, Rhett Shull and a bunch of other guitar players talking about how he can outplay all of us…and he always wants to “challenge” us all to some kind of ridiculous “guitar duel”….i swear i am not making this shit up.

He already admitted to us all that he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the head, and when he has these “flare ups” he gets very combative …

David…honey, take a fuckin pill and chill the fuck out ferchrissakes…no one is out to get you …calm the fuck down man
