, especially if you’re a guitarist. A lot of modern songs are crafted around a few key chords, so having a good knowledge of chords and chord progressions is a great way to be a better songwriter. It also makes you better able to contribute and follow along during jam sessions. For example, in the key of C major, a very common chord progression is C-G-Am-F. These chords are played in sequence one after the another to create a harmonious melody. If your goal is to join a band no matter what genre of music they play, then learning how to play more than one genre is the best way for you to expand your “marketability.” Learn how to play 1 or 2 of the most popular songs in each genre.  For instance, learn how to play a popular country music song, a popular death metal song, and a popular pop song. This will at least make you familiar with some of the common chords and progressions in these different genres. Try to learn new songs constantly. The more songs you know, the less you'll have to learn when joining a new band. It may also be helpful to learn how to play different instruments, as well. You’ll be more marketable if you can play drums as well as guitar. At the same time, you may instead want to focus on being the best at just one instrument. If you haven’t been playing music for a long time, learning from an experienced teacher is the best way to develop your skills quickly and efficiently. A music teacher will also be able to guide your learning in the right direction for your goal of joining a band (instead of, say, becoming a classical musician). You can find music teachers in your local area by searching for them online. You may also be able to find them at a local music store or venue. Make time for yourself to practice your instrument on a daily basis and commit to playing during that time. During these practice sessions, review the stuff you’ve already learned and try to learn something new as well. For example, if you already know how to play a certain song, practice playing that song during your practice session. Then, work on learning to play a different song by the same artist.

summary: Study chords and chord progressions Familiarize yourself with a few different musical styles. Hire a music teacher to help you learn from a professional. Be sure to practice on a regular basis to keep your skills sharp.

Posh people have good manners and know the boundaries in human relations. Always say "please" and "thank you" when the situation calls for it. Say "excuse me," greet people politely, and display good table manners—such as chewing with your mouth closed. Also do not use your phone at the table or when talking to someone. Although posh people are often wealthy or "high class," this does not mean they are arrogant. It’s important to be confident in yourself and your abilities, but do not think that you are better than anyone else. Treating everyone you meet as your equal is very posh. Always show up and do your best at anything you commit to. For example, if you say you will throw a party for someone, do it and do it to your best ability. Or, if you make a mess while you’re a guest at someone’s home, make sure to clean up after yourself. Posh people have a large vocabulary and know when to employ it. However, posh people never force words into sentences that don't belong. Read and study to expand your vocabulary, but don’t use your knowledge to show off. Speak clearly and confidently. This person could be a friend, historical figure, or even a celebrity. Don't copy them precisely but do allow their way of being, their style, and attitudes have some influence on yours. That way, you can build a strong foundation on which to become a posh person in your own right. Some examples of posh people are Emma Watson, Kate Middleton, Benedict Cumberbatch,  and Eddie Redmayne. A posh accent is often associated with the English aristocracy, as well with educational institutions, like Oxford. This accent is referred to as posh, but is actually called Upper Received Pronunciation English (Upper RP). Essentially, to sound this way, practice an English accent. Then, pronounce your consonants more fully. Also, pronounce vowels æ sound leaning more towards the “e” sound.  For example, when saying “man,” it will sound more like “men” in a posh accent. Also, a weak “I” sound will sound more like an “e.” For example, “quickly” should be pronounced more like “queckly.”
summary: Display good manners. Avoid an arrogant attitude. Take responsibility for your actions and obligations. Be articulate. Look for posh people you admire. Practice a  posh accent.
