yep. Gotta love when they go Dark Star>St. Stephen> the Eleven

if only I were born a lot earlier i could have experienced that..... oh well. luckily we got live recordings.

Yep jazz will do the trick for music theory. There is a book called the Real Book. Get the latest volume in the Treble Clef. a bit pricey but loaded with sheet music that will turn u into a wonderful musician. u are a guitarist now, but jazz will turn u into the musician u thought did not exist within u.
