Zero-Map for G Major [G Ionian] in Standard Tuning. G = zero.
If G is zero, & we apply the phone number filter [221-2221] to it , A = 2, B = 4, C = 5, D = 7, E = 9, F# = 11, G = 12 or 0 [2 - 0 = 2, 4 - 2 = 2, 5 - 4 = 1, etc.].
Standard Tuning with G as Zero

Chords in G, find these number patterns within the One-Map

To do
- Play chord scales [either linear or fixed position]. The chord scale for G Major is G-Am-Bm-C-D-Em-F#o-G.
- Play progressions – start with I-vi-ii-V-I. Then try I-IV-V-IV-I.
- Write progressions – find voicings you like & order them in ways that make sense to you ear.

how this began
don’t need a reason
living is much the same
awoken
hail of mixed hoorays
as it holds together
making a call for rain
life, in death
forever we will cradle the sun
won’t wishit away
try oh try
forever we are grateful
your stars
your stars
wait
do we know where we are?
your horizon
seasons of life, in death
forever we will cradle the sun
won’t wishit away
try oh try
forever we are grateful
your stars
wait
do we know where we are?
Eclipse

Following 12 stone row, I set out to record another Fingerstyle record. Yet, as American musician life can be, the production flowline broke down.
As I’ve been reviewing recordings from that period, I’ve found some tracks I had completely forgotten about. None of them are mastered, yet hold a vital space in my catalog.
The first I would like to share is Eclipse. I have a visual map for this tune – when I locate it, I’ll update this post.
EclipseThis tune is single take, no editing & self-recorded.
