Re: need Music advice

From: Guitar Master Guy

Comments

You can master an instrument in about 1 year, providing you learn, or are taught, the basic music theory formulas, be able to shift them into another key and you've practiced enough to able to physically play it live.  Once you've mastered one instrument you can master any instrument even faster and with the right knowledge of formulas, you will be able to master a new instrument, in about a month. Yep 1 month! You see, once you understand basic music theory you can apply it to any instrument almost instantly. But remember, to know and not to do, is not enough, you must be able to play it live. 

To know if you have mastered an instrument, you must know the basic theory formulas, be able to shift them into any key, be able to play them on the instrument and know how to play and manipulate these formulas live. There is only a hand full of basic formulas, understand these and a whole world opens up to you. You will know that you have mastered an instrument, when you can improvise live, stay in time and in key (unless changing keys deliberately). At this point you will also realize, that you know way more, than you'll ever have time to play.
