I try to click through some places on my blog and I come up with a strange orange screen with an error saying that “somebody is trying to get you to access a harmful version of kbrocking.com”. Pretty strange. I NEVER got that error before Microsoft killed Windows XP so this must be the beginning of virus attacks and other security problems. I know my site “kbrocking.com” is not hacked, it never was. It’s just the Windows XP issue. So I gotta get rid of Windows XP and update to the recent version, Windows 8.1., I think? I know someone in my life who is good with computers so I’ll talk to him about it. I gotta trash XP and go for something different. The security problems will probably get a lot worse, the more I continue to browse the internet. Damn Microsoft.

I know The Ultimate Warrior just died and I’ll post the obit a little later.

I may have showed this app before but I’m showing it to you again… “Musicopoulous” from the Itunes app is probably the best music theory instruction you can get:

I’ve been trying to learn music theory for a long time now. Most instructional books make music theory tough to learn but this app I showed above makes it all seem pretty easy. Because of that app I pointed out above, learning music theory have been much easier for me and I’m getting the hang of things. I’m really starting to understand intervals, the major scale, the circle of fifths, and I’m just starting to learn key signatures. I’m just learning a little bit at a time. I’m hoping to soon become a wizard at music theory and that’s my goal. I’m learning but slowly getting there. Small baby steps.

I want to learn music theory more so I can become a more “advanced” musician. I want to prove to others that I do know my shit musically and know what I’m doing. I’ve been accused by a lot of people over the years that I am a hobbyist and amateur kind of musician so I’m gonna step-up and prove ’em all wrong.

More importantly, I just want to become a better songwriter and guitarist. Learning music theory will help. Learning music theory will help my improvisation skills to a new level and that’s what I want. In order to become a master at improvisation gotta know music theory. Learning music theory will help understand what other musicians are playing. When musicians are telling me what notes to play, the chords, scales, intervals, etc. I’ll be able to understand what they’re talking about. Learning music theory will also take my songwriting to a new level by adding unique chords and scales to the music. I’ll be able to write songs a lot more professionally.

That app I pointed out above is a lot of fun. The app makes music theory learning fun. It’s recommended buying and it’s real cheap. It’s only $2.99. That app has everything a musician of any level need to know. Whether you have an Ipad or an Iphone, you should definitely check it out. I’ve been addicted to that app ever since I bought it about a month ago.

I really want to become a well-rounded advanced musician and really trying to get there. I’m sure you guys can notice that.
