like when you were little and had a problem with left and right...you allocate a picture of a favorite turn on some road and commit this to your conscious mind.Similarly knowing notes on a favourite guitar string usually the E strings gives you a kind of knowledge of the brackets of a number series. The rest are embedded in these brackets and we also know the 5th is a power chord kind of thing and the octave is 2 strings away one whole step up. (exception being that bloody B string :)). What I'm saying is take a day and commit a simple system based on YOUR intrinsic logic to map a simple system where you know dead on where an interval lies.This is knowing the tool better and will yield really cool results,the self empowerment of the system will lead you to be more of an individual.If everyone went to Berklee or Numb Nuts or whatever then the music will follow a specific academic path and lead to homogeneity which is highly and utterly boring. So take that day map a system and tell me this is not satisfying.
