Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I did finally get an Alfred book on scales and chords.
  • Another very used books are Alfred (haven't tried those myself)
  • Alfred: It’s a Mac Spotlight replacement. I use it to access my apps faster with hotkeys.
  • For me, Alfred has been the way to go.
  • You definitely want a book like Faber or Alfred. Just skip over the theory that you don't need.

Cons

  • I’d also suggest picking up a book (like Faber or Alfred) alongside an app.
  • While there are self learning books like Faber or Alfred etc, they're at risk for bad habits that beginners don't realize or hear, you can only do so much without an experienced individual guiding you.
  • I am using Alfred to learn on my own it's been hard, but I also hear Faber is good.

Quick access can be fixed by using Raycast or Alfred.
