I am your heavy metal preacher. The I Am activity was a new religious movement based in Christianity that started the I Am affirmations movement in America. They believe that through music and expression that we can manifest the fullness of the truest self and ascend to all the states of the hugest masters, whether it’d be Santana, Jesus, Krishna, allah, Buddha or what we else.

I get in battles in my head when it’s time to follow love versus follow what I hate to get to love one day. Is there a way that money and love mix together? So far teaching guitar has been super fun. I’m hoping to add more shred students. Anyway this is “Follow Love” chorus and solo- I was glad I hit the solo

Hey Facebook, Often times parents and people ask me to teach them the guitar so they can express themselves, but often times they want them to express themselves in a certain way more than how the student or people actually like to express themselves. I was super bummed when my parents got me this nylon guitar because I wanted to play AC\DC but now I’ve come full circle back to this guitar. Somethings take time and I wouldn’t have learned the guitar if I hadn’t played and continue to play heavy virtuoso metal. I don’t have it all figured out, quite the opposite, however I trust the process because some people are tadpoles, some are caterpillars, some are ladybugs. We can’t turn ladybugs into butterfly or moths to birds. We’re not magicians but we got magic inside. Trust nature don’t freak out. Hibernate if there’s too much static messing up your vibe.

Where do the modal scale names come from and what does that tell me about music? Keep in mind history is usually written by the winners, that being said Greek philosophers did have names for scales coming from different regions of Greece such as Aeolia which we now call the Aeolean made. During th

The Sun's diameter is 108 times the diameter of the Earth

Why the number 108? The number 108 is considered a sacred number in Hinduism, Buddhism and yogic tradition. Malas or Japa beads come in a string of 108 and are used for devotional meditation, mantra and prayer. With each bead a mantra or prayer is repeated to meet a total of 108. The Meru bead is t
