Thanks everyone! I'm just trying to pay it forward, a tip of the hat to folks like Andy Gabrys, Russell Landwher, Mojo, The Element, JimC and Owen Chaim for their help to me during my first year. 8-)

Awesome post!! I'm quite a newbie hear so I found this to be very insightful, and definitely will be looking it over a time or two more down the road. Congrats on your successes, and wishing you many more!

Nicely said, my good man! And - hold the fort... - 250 submissions in your first year?!?! That's incredible! Or insane, haha. That right there shows your dedication to the craft!

I think insane would be accurate... that's about 5 submissions per week. I'm actually faster now than I was in 2015, I'm just being more selective, something that you, Andy and Russell suggested months ago. :mrgreen:

Very generous and helpful, Paulie, as are all your posts!

Very much looking forward to working with you!

Question: I have indeed been considering learning guitar. Could I get away with learning only 3 chords -- tonic, dominant and subdominant?
