If you have someone who is always treating you in a negative direction, treating you badly all the time, then chances are this person is probably an asshole to a lot of other people as well. Usually people who are always negative don’t really have a happy life and don’t have much going on so don’t give them any attention.

I’m noticing a lot of people have a big problem of responding to other people being assholes to them. They try to defend themselves and their friends.

I used to do that a lot and try to defend myself at every attack aimed at me but I realized it’s a bad idea. Responding to assholes only makes things a lot worse.

So the best thing to do is to ignore them and avoid them like the plague. In facebook, youtube or twitter if someone writes you an asshole comment out of the blue just delete it or block them or whatever. That’s what I do. Don’t give them any attention by not responding to any of them… that’s why I’m strict on moderating online so I can eliminate assholes from my life.

Even if you continue to ignore them and they’re still writing asshole stuff to you… just continue to ignore them. If you continue to ignore them and they won’t go away, chances are they are pretty much obsessed with you for whatever reason.

If you want to live a positive life whether on the internet or off, ignoring assholes is the way to go.

I can’t stand dramatic people and they’re everywhere these days. I’ve got no time for that. Just want to play my music and enjoy life, that’s all I pretty much care about.

There’s a lot of musicians and guitar players out there that don’t know music theory. Why? It’s because they’re lazy and they don’t wanna waste a lot of time learning and memorizing all these letters and numbers. They make a bunch of excuses not to learn music theory. A lot of musicians join bands anyways and not know any music theory at all. It’s wrong, in my opinion. If you wanna jam with other musicians, it’s important to master the art of music theory. That way you won’t get lost and you’ll know what you’re doing when playing in a band or whatever. Learning music theory is important ’cause when you learn it, you’ll be able to play just about anything and everything.

It’s not hard to memorize the notes on the guitar. It’s not hard to memorize all 12 keys of music. It’s not hard to memorize intervals, key signatures, the circle of fifths, it’s not hard to memorize scales and the scale degrees, it’s not hard to learn how chords shapes and know the notes in the chords… and everything else.

Music theory is easy really, even all the advanced stuff and I’m really getting the hang of learning it all. I’m not a wizard at music theory just yet but just about there.

Music theory is fun and I love it. Where can you learn music theory? Well, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on some course at college or online at all when all you need is a book that will cost $20 and there are all kinds of Music Theory learning apps in the Apple App store that will help you too.

For music theory apps from the App Store, I would recommend “Musicopoulos” for learning and the “Tenuto” app for quizzing you. I play with both of those apps all the time and I learn a lot of from it.

If you want to be a great lead guitarist, it’s important to learn theory so you can know what scales to play over chord progressions and sound good. Know the road maps of the guitar and you’ll sound good, always. You’ll no longer struggle when jamming with other people or writing your own songs.

Knowing music theory will help you become an even better songwriter as well and it has helped me become a better songwriter as you can tell. Theory will help you in many different ways.

When I first started out playing guitar, I refused to learn music theory at first ’cause I used to think it was pretty difficult on me but after all these years, I finally decided that I should really learn it if I want to play guitar a little more “professionally”.

I just wanna become a real “musician” and working my way up there.

A lot of times I can never tell if I’m saying anything wrong. I guess I just let the people do the judging and let people tell me if I’m saying anything offensive. Seriously, though, this is becoming a huge problem. People getting offended at everything. Not only liberals have a huge problem at getting offended at everything, even conservatives have that problem as well. Being offended is “lame” and believe me I’m not that sensitive of a guy at all as I’m pretty tough and strong. I don’t have to be offended ’cause being offended at things is “weak”.

I don’t take everything seriously and personally. If people wanna swear and cuss, go for it. I’m not bothered by swearing ’cause I swear a lot myself admittedly. If people wanna talk dirty, sexual and inappropriate stuff, go for it. I have no problem with any of that.

This is why it’s getting harder to speak your mind and express opinions ’cause people get offended too easily. You can’t express your own opinions on things like gay marriage, abortion, gun control, etc. Liberals will usually get offended at those who opposes their viewpoint. Liberals will rail at those when opinions differ. You can’t say bad things about Barack Obama, Michelle, Hillary or Bernie Sanders. You can’t say anything bad about gay marriage or Muslims.

It’s getting worse and getting out of hand for sure. I blame our mass media for that ’cause they teach people how to get offended at everything.

Once again, I’m offended at people getting offended. I have no time for people like that. Don’t associate yourself with the easily offended. It will make life easier for you that way.
