For the first time in I don't know how long (I really don't - I click on my messages and it says "No such member exists") Wholenote is not my home page. It just seems like nothing is happening here anymore. This was once my favorite place on the web. Times move on. Still it is kind of sad. The end of an era.

At one time, i had over 70 lessons up, many of which were displayed uner "hot lesson". I answered and re-answered the most mundane (sp?) questions over and over. I truly cared about the site. Then one day...I got kicked out. Some kind of arguement or something. I really felt betrayed. I had spent a lot of my time and knowledge on this site, and truly believed I was helping and being helped. I still drop in a couple times a week, but I would never (although I have considered it and put up some cursery instruction) publish another lesson at wholenote. This site has run its course. The plain truth is no one really cares about it anymore. At one time had I logged in to find Wholenote shut down, I would have been devasted. Now, I wouldn't really care. That;s the God's truth. There is nothing special at all about this site. In the opening of Mark Levine's Jazz theory book, he describes 99% of Jazz (allow me to paraphrase please) explainable and doable for almost anyone. The remaining 1% being magic. Wholenote once had a little magic mixed with some drama, some great resources some great (and not so great)folks all with a sense of being part of a whole and each part unique. If you're looking for that again, it's lost. Some say a great experiment involving the halls of acedeme. I say it was just a great place for a bunch egotistical a------s to interact with other egotistical a------s. I also say it was beautiful and motivated a lot of people to reach for the best thing in music the could hold on to. Wholenote just couldn't hold on itself. Wholenote was the first and best of it's kind. It was King. The King is dead.

Most of it can be attributed to typos, but since you’re such a stickler for things being perfect where you’re concerned and this is a guitar site, I think we should have a little playoff. You can pick the style, I’ll pick the chord progression, and then I’ll truly put you in your place, like you think you are doing to me. Otherwise, you stfu and chill.

There was no need for childish name calling and drawing lines in the sand. Had someone here called you an a------, you would have cried a river over it, and now that you've acted like an a------ you want to cry about that. I'm sorry, but you can't just browbeat and bully everyone you meet. Again - just chill.

If it was spiced up, turned into somewhat of a media sharing hub where you could upload songs/videos directly for collaboration or add-a-tracks then it might bring some meaning back into the site. Put some live video feeds and workshops on here that are updated on a normal bases. Yeah, all that uses bandwidth and bandwidth costs money. There is a little extra space over to the right for some more adds. --->

Welcome to my swan song old wholenote friends. BTW, I will be checking back in from time to time to see if ol' Nick grows some balls and and puts his playing where his mouth is.

It would be horrible to see their work disapear. I would be more than honored to convert their wisdom into video lessons. If only Wholenote would allow such a thing.
