    Lol, I was a history at Rutgers as an undergrad and then MBA in finance and Marketing. Spent most of my career in SEC compliance automation, SAAS creation, EDGAR, license agreements, and M&A. Agronomy is just a hobby.

    For those of you into music analysis here is a great breakdown of “Wouldn’t it be Nice” by the Beach Boys. Pretty sophisticated song in my opinion. If you‘re interested, listen to Rick Beato’s analysis of the flip side, “God Only Knows.” My favorite 45 of all time

    Yes, it’s not just speed or however many notes you can play as fast as you can, irrespective of whether the notes make musical sense (at least in terms of traditional music theory.)

    Good for you! I assume your lawn is not Kentucky Blue Grass? Word of caution for those following this thread, Velocity is not intended for use on KBG and most KBG cultivars are severely damaged or killed by Velocity.

    Your last sentence says it all!!!, at least for me. I got my first guitar from a friend for $14 and the John Barleycorn Must Die album. Horrible guitar… A friend taught me three cords and then went off to Vietnam in 1970. lots of selt teaching over the decades. It’s been a wonderful journey...

    What worked for me with guitar over the years was to find a balance between playing songs and learning theory. That balance has shifted back and forth over the years but generally leaned more towards playing songs. If I had had to play scales and study theory 100% of the time I wouldn’t have...
