totally unpopular opinions.

Well, to be picky. 1-3-5 is major, 1-b3-5 is minor. Or if you play 7th triads and omit the 5 it's 1-3-7 and 1-b3-7. Minor 7 would be 1-b3-b7 and dominant seven would be 1-3-b7. You can also add the 5 in there to make full chords of them. Like 1-3-5-7, 1-b3-5-b7 etc.

it's how you find the major or minor instantly.. as a bass player, basically can step into any situation and play the bass using just that to determine if we are in a major or minor mode. not real interested in the technical aspect of the notation but what actually works when you are in a session or make a poop ton of music. 12 notes..use them for all they are worth
 
Heres a few:

1)Ultra-rare and expensive guitars and amps are as useless as tits on a boar hog, if you dont use them. Bragging about a piece of gear that is as a valuable as a normal person's monthly salary and never tapping into it, makes you a lawyer/doctor/CEO owner.

2)Never be a slave to one style as far as playing goes. There's something to steal in all varieties: go take it.

3)Be humble and realize you arent even a pimple on 90% of the other players' asses. Theres always room to improve .

4) But finally, take other people's criticism over your own contributions with a large grain of salt. This goes with #3 as most are jealous dicks that couldn't bang out a simple song without veering off tempo, key nor play it precisely.

Ok, I'm sure it doesn't belong here, but I'm frustrated and I'm taking a break from the frustration.
You see, I don't mind putting in a wood floor, actually I enjoy it. But I sure as heck don't like figuring out the layout when nothing is square. In fact, I hate it.
That first board is a dooozie.

Ok, got that off my chest. Rock on!

The best way to do that is to halve up the room both ways, check your snap lines are square, start from the center out.
Cheers
