"Aha"

Music truly grabbed me by the collar when I dusted off my guitar 10 years ago. I was stuck playing the same four licks over and over—like a broken record of mediocrity. I wanted more. I wanted to break free from the "guess and hope" method. But that meant learning chord shapes and memorizing scales—ouch. My brain wasn’t built for that kind of torture.

Then, one day, it hit me like a perfectly timed power chord: Scales are templates!
And templates? Well, they’re not just moveable—they’re stackable.

That meant a song with three chords would use three scale “sticks.” Instead of treating scales like separate, random puzzles, I started stacking these sticks together—and suddenly, the fretboard wasn’t a mystery anymore.

🚀 Next big “Aha!” moment: I had created a map of all the playable notes—right in front of me! No more guessing. No more relying on brain gymnastics to recall scales. Everything I needed was laid out in a clear, visual system. It was like the yellow brick road of scales, guiding me exactly where I needed to go. For the first time, music theory actually made sense.
