I'm Elias Dorneles, musician, programmer and addicted to learning things.

I like open source, Udacity, KhanAcademy, Coursera, Python, Bash, Javascript, Ubuntu, GNOME, stoicism, Wikipedia, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed. I read everything that I can and sometimes write a little bit too.

comment What is a good solo to learn in the major scale?
I don't think there are rules to learn improvisation. There are tools that can help you to get better, yes, but rules? There are plenty of great musicians that have learnt the hard way, simply listening and playing along with records.

comment How to go learn through a book
Some people say it's important that you are always challenging yourself. So, if you are bored with a piece, you may want to try another more difficult one. But you also should come back to it, and learn to build the patience to play a piece EVEN when you are bored...
