Adam, this is most definitely not a joke. I'm a professional chef who is learning music theory as a hobbyist, and I will GLADLY trade music theory lessons for grilled cheese lessons. The best grilled cheese in the world is a fine goal, and it's doable, but here's the issue: restaurants that have the best ingredients aren't going to have grilled cheese. It will have to be at home, but I can get you to the top of the mountain. Let me know if you're interested. I've worked for a Michelin 3 star chef, and at a Forbes 5 star restaurant, and I am 100% sincere here.

I'm not playing the lick wrong, it's just avant-garde.

"How do you improvise a conversation extemporaneously?"
I come up with great ideas and great delivery in my head, then I see someone looking at me, then I cough, then I make up words, then I start sweating profusely, then I say I have to go to the bathroom to walk out, then I look for a window to crawl outside from the bathroom, there isn't one, and the only way out is in front of the people I just left, I wait 20 minutes, then I walk out, I stand up against the wall and avoid eye contact, I walk sideways like the depiction of an Egyptian god, slowly, when I get 10 feet away from the door I make a dash for it, pushing and kicking anyone in my way. THAT is how I improvise a conversation extemporaneously.

[LanceMabu]

It’s almost as if your story about the painting is a metaphor for “bad” music. Somebody threw it to the garbage but now dozens of people enjoy it.

[marcustecarro]

What you said about blues being "3 chords and the truth" really hit home for me

[PrimalCircus]

“Is auto tune immoral”? Are frets on guitars immoral?

[bradywoods]

I love the intro/outro song on these super fast instagram q&a's

Taking questions from your instagram followers is a form of age discrimination. As an Old Guy, I'm incapable of instagramming. Look for a Western Union communique from me shortly.
