Hi, Joe. I'm a MAJOR fan of yours, and am desperate for help.
I must admit that I can't help feeling a little silly asking YOU about this, but you see, I'm in a terrible fix. I've had enough of looking at tabs and working through banal technique building exercises, and want to move on. However, my knowledge of music theory is limited, and I can't seem to find a promising source for enhancing my knowledge of it, whether online or in an institute. Every time I look, my search seems to finish in a dead end. It's scary, I know, but my frustration is so great that I'm beginning to get kinda disillusioned with the idea of music as a whole.
I'm 18 years old (and have been playing guitar since the past five years), live in Geneva, Switzerland, and am willing to go to ANY lengths necessary to acquire a concrete, fulfilling understanding of theory, in the hope that I'll finally be able to understand what's really happening when I play whatever I play, and eventually be able to guiltlessly compose my own music.
Wherever I have searched, be it workshoplive.com or countless other places, it has appeared that courses in jazz seem to be the ultimate solution to my predicament. Am I correct? Whether I'm right or wrong notwithstanding, here's hoping that you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
