- All music is more simiar than it seems under the surface
- all music is based on pentatonic
- different parts of the world have different scales

- many songs change the same melody over a song

OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)
- I find it interesting that she is talking about people asking her if she is afraid that her books will never succeed. although I am only 14 I have played guitar for 2 1/2 years and no one has asked if I was afraid if I would ever become a star. Because I am pretty stubborn about being a guitarist even if I play in bars every saturday.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
