Learning to Use an ATM in Early 70′s

My grandfather was in his early 70s before he first used an ATM, and I do not think he has ever used a drive-thru window at the bank.  He believes in eye balling people when doing banking business. So growing up, I knew my way around the bank after tagging along with him.  I watched him cash a check for cash, which he called his “walking around money”.  We rolled coins and deposited them into my grandparent’s account. Of course I loved it, because I always got a lollipop from the teller.  Little did I know then that I was actually learning about how banking works, something I now hope to pass along to my own kids.

Keep On Going

Most music is divides the musical octave into twelve different sections called semitones. With the guitar each semitone is represented by a fret. The scale both starts and stops on the octave. The most common scales are consisted of seven different notes. Some scales use a bit less or a bit more.

Something handy to know is that once you have learned a scale you can move it anywhere on the fret board. With practice you will get better in time. Practice is the key to almost getting perfect. However there is no such thing as perfect so keep on practicing those guitar scales.
