Hey @MikeGeorge ,

Thanks a ton for all of your content. I can feel myself making sense of things I’ve been trying to grasp for a long time adding bits and pieces I found on the internet. I started electronic music on a DAW and thought music theory was too complex so I spent years trying things out randomly and sometimes discovering a theory concept on the way. I recently discovered you approach to theory and it really clicked for me. I can feel my musical confidence rising using ColorMusic and I start to have a glimpse at the freedom I could have following your method. This feels truly amazing and immensely motivating!:)

I’m currently trying to analyse songs I love through your method. I’ve looked around your website trying to find a PDF that would gather all the diagrams related to their specific keys and scales. It might not exist (yet). I’ve made a draft of it to show you what I mean

The example is a mesh of different scales because I couldn’t find all the diagrams for a particular key of a particular scale. I’ve added a polygon that links the notes together in the circular scales because the shape really helps me visualise and remember things more easily.

My dream would be to have this kind of PDF that would contain all the 56 scales you show under “Scales > Formula Tables > Key of C” for each 12 notes.

I guess this is a fair bit of work but I feel it would be so helpful for analysing songs and creating them!:)

Thanks again for your work.

All the best!

Hello everyone!

Has anyone done a color analysis of songs written by the band King Crimson? It would be amazing to see any of their songs looked at and understood using the color wheel to understand their unique and complex music.

Hey, i love this and have some cuestions for the course. for lesson 1 exersices we are told to play each C note or each A note and so on for the 12 notes. how long should one wait between going from one lesson to another? lesson 1 exersices says play each c note on the fret and so on. should we learn this religiousily now? og do it a couple of time but then we will learn it better during other exersizses later on. so the mail question is how long to exersice untill going to the next lesson
