fuck a book. government-enabled farmer's boy-type individual want to read? get some hunter thompson books. and read Filth, if you can... them have a midi book. fascist control of midi is good. you think keyboards are kind of awkward. keyboards say nasty things about the way i & i slap them when stuffed mooses sleep. ignore warnings of impending doom; people have been warning of impending doom since before they had the phrase.

actually if you're interested in chords, go
look on some of the guitar-oriented sites...
i found a bunch of stuff on harmony-central
in the guitar area, about some stuff i'd seen
but didn't know for sure what it was (sus chords
in particular). they have all the basics. you'll
need to try them out yourselves to really see
what they do but it can get you started....

btw i think that's just an A#/Bb major scale...
whole note = 2 semitones half note = 1 semitone
major scale = w w h w w w h (starting from the base
of the scale)
minor scale = w h w w w w h

so that scale above starts on A#....

Actually, the way that scale is written it's an Eb Lydian missing the F note, that is, the Bb major scale played from Eb to Eb (prefer to call it Eb rather than D# because D is in the scale). And yes, explore harmony central -- there's a theory section with a lot of links. Do they have libraries where you live, rage?

nobody: do you think nobody here knows nothing? You may be right...
