A scale is just the notes that are in a chord played one at a time instead of together. That’s what has allowed me to go through the possible notes that work with a chord and make choices about which ones I like best.

I got on the scale and I weighed around 203. I’m only 5’7. I was about to turn 30, and I wasn’t active anymore. So I started working with a nutritionist and a trainer. I played basketball twice a week. And soon it all just became a habit for me. I became addicted to something good for a change.
