Thanks for the link. I love rooting through sites like that for new terminology and genre specific methods of playing and writing. I'm a "big picture" theory guy so learning all the little nuances and concepts of specific genres so I can mimic them and test my own systems out in comparison is fun and useful. Jazz is of particular interest to me at the moment because it is so bent and broad and that site looks like it has a lot of useful and well presented info.
 
Cheers.

Thanks for the offer Beep, I'd do the same if I was able!  Right now it's time to just get a reasonably "normal" life back then move forward slowly.  I love these types of threads - theory can be fun (though it certainly is NOT the be-all-end-all of making music!).
 
Oh, and I agree with your sentiment about Yamaha Pacificas - very underrated guitars!

Not sure what happened to you, man but I hope it works out well and fast. You've always seemed like a good cat. I know how brutal things can get when life decides to knock us down a few pegs. Seems like it's a heck of a lot harder to climb back out of the muck these days too. Builds character I guess but "character" don't pay the bleedin' rent, eh?
 
Take care and I hope you can scrounge up a sanity axe in the meantime to blow off some steam. Cheers.

A few years ago I got caught in all the illegal dealings the banks were doing and lost houses, a vehicle and over $820k (and, naturally, my nice music studio went with my main house).  I still haven't really recovered, but I was making progress until the owner of the house that I was the resident property manager for suddenly decided to sell in September.  Horrible timing for me with lots of weird (and not good) things that happened at the same time so it knocked me back down to zero again.  Now I'm in a much better place and could have a decent job by the end of the month managing a new warehouse for my friend's business (while also doing IT work).  So I'm looking forward to a good 2015!
