I wish I could take credit for the chords haha! I'm actually playing along to this backing track from youtube:
It's actually a Scottish accent you're hearing and I'm playing in Standard Tuning for this video
ahh scottish still cool, I enjoy hearing people speak english for some reason. I like all the different accents people have it's so cool. I need to learn what stuff like 2-5-1 means I've seen and heard people talk about it many times....
Me too man! I'm such a big fan of the Irish and English accent - I feel as if the Scottish accent just sounds really flat compared to them 2-5-1 is just a shortened way of saying the 2nd chord, 5th chord, and 1st chord in a Key.
The Key of A minor is: 1. A minor 2. Bm7b5 3. C Major 4.D minor 5. E minor 6. F major 7. G7
Minor 2-5-1's are a bit funny though, because they kinda contradict what should happen with the 5th chord of the key - It should be a Minor chord - but people tend to use a Dominant 7th chord because it sounds better.
I just like hearing people talk English. Could be like English as a 2nd or 3rd language, I like the diversity.
I've been taking in theory little by little over the years. What I got from this is I know how to name notes on the fretboard. I need to practice naming them and I need to learn what chords are in each key (hopefully there aren't many keys :S) and sorry I don't know how to respond to the last part of your message. I'm going to work on something now Bye!
Notes on the fretboard are definitely great things to start with! - There are 12 Keys in total, so not that many haha. Absolutely no need to apologize man Good luck!
