Wait wat?
I'm wondering about the tone knobs on my MIM Stratocaster. As I understand they control the middle and neck pick-ups but they seem to only have basically two settings, on and off. Is this the way it's supposed to be or is it just my strat that's bummed?

What should a music theory beginner learn and know by heart to have a good solid foundation?

Really understand how chords and scales relate to one another, how chords are built out of scale tones. Understand how a formula like "I ii iii IV V vi viidim" works, how it relates to modes (Ionian, Dorian, etc.), and why the keys of C major and A minor both share the same notes. Understand how the circle of fifths works and how key signatures are constructed.

Also do some ear training and play a lot of scales on your instrument of choice.

Right, thank you!
