Hey Dan, I can only speak for myself when I say I'm not ganging up. I'm truly interested in how Scaler helps in making music. Is it via music theory? Helping with finding the right chords? Something else? This is why I asked about your workflow. So no judgement here at all, far from it.

I'm in the process of summarizing (as best I can) the survey results. And as it turns out, you are in good company. The biggest chimney on the chart is software/plugins.

On a more personal note. I'm not studying scales or arpeggios, but maybe I should. I play basically by ear with a knowledge of the chord progression and am the consumate novice. Hence my inquiry regarding tools.

You need no "defense" at all, I'm just curious and want to learn from you and others.

Recall that you have helped me in a major way in the past, so it is I that is the student smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
