It's only point was more or less "It's something abstract and unnecessary. You're not a genius, so just avoid it." It didn't even explain what to avoid. It sounds like something too advanced for someone at my stage of learning but I'm still curious. Could anyone explain what negative harmony is, at least in the most basic way to help me get the general idea behind it? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
