Just commit to making time to move your fingers and build your aural skills along with your theory studies. Otherwise you'll be one of those "musicians" that knows "an A major chord consists of an A, C# and E and those are the 1st, major 3rd and fifth of the A major scale ..."
Chris, here is where I am "stuck". I have gotten through most of Fundamentals 2. I already know all of the chords going in, although the practice of re-teaching my fingers a bit is still necessary. The scales, however, are pretty new for me. I can play them pretty well, and definitely will improve with practice, but I am asking myself how long to stay on scales alone?
Should I move on to either the Rock or Blues primer and keep practicing the scales every day? Safe to say that I should be learning the notes I am playnig when doing the scales?
