@jakesimmons815 Well most people dont graduate from berklee unless they want to teach. Most people go te berklee not only for the education but for the contacts out there. All of my buddies and myself never graduated. We got offered killer opportunities through different people doing various things for good money. But yeah, it was like 16,000 a semester when I went. Very pricey.

@libertyfalls berklee is cool but you gotta be top of the class to really get the full effect of the school and its a quarter million dollars for 4 years.
you can go to small conservatories and they can do fine.
but if you got the cash, have at it

@radiohm3 Dont listen to that dude. The slap/pick thing is a bitch. Not impossible, but its hard to get down.
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
@radiohm3 then spend more than half an hour working on it. its not hard at all
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I’m a huge fan of Mayer, his signature move (the slap/pick) is way too hard to learn it
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
He’s hilarious
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Fuck you and your talent, John Mayer.
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
That was some funny stuff. He is such an amazing musician.
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
@Rozq87 Yeah, he only dates A list celebrities.
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
He is freaking intelligent, talented, funny and I presume handsome as well. Girls love him don’t they?
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
@Alwayseatseconds SInce he went to berklee probably standard figured bass notation with extensive knowledge of traditional and jazz music theory. Including modes, scales, etc. The great thing about berklee is they have separate classes for blues, jazz, progressive etc. So they can teach you applied theory in that specific genre. They also focus heavily on commercial music. Berklee is the place to be.
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
what kind of theory does he know?? is it nashville number system?? or what
the just modes and all that??
