    Why do some chords have numbers on them?/ Having trouble figuring out chords

    I'm so glad you're enjoying learning all of this man! You can see that you're motivated to know it 😍 I'll go point by point: - Spot on - Add chords can add: 9, 11, 13 - This is because most chords in general are built from the R 3 & 5 - So if you added them again the chord quality wouldn't...

    Why do some chords have numbers on them?/ Having trouble figuring out chords

    The Root note will only change if you change the chord - So if I play a C Major, the root note will always be C - even if the note on the lowest string of the Guitar is another note from the chord (This would be called an Inversion) - If I changed the chord to D Major, D would now be the Root...

    Why do some chords have numbers on them?/ Having trouble figuring out chords

    You'll totally get there man! The difference with the Csus2 is that it doesn't have a 3rd - the 'sus2' is basically short hand for 'suspending the third and making it a 2nd (D) CDG'. The Cadd9 is short hand for C (CEG) & adding the 9th (D) - CEGD It seems overwhelming when everyone's firing all...

    Why do some chords have numbers on them?/ Having trouble figuring out chords

    Not much to add as everyone has covered the most Important points - but one thing to note is that when you see a 9, 11 or 13 in a chord - it really means a 2nd, 4th or 6th only up the octave - or you could always count 9, 11 or 13 notes up your Major Scale and you'll still land on them. These...

    The Locrian Mode – Lesson 66

    So if you were playing in C Dorian using the 'Dorian pattern - (shape 2 of the Major Scale)' starting from the C note - and you wanted to still play in the same C Dorian scale starting from the D note, then you would use the next shape up in your Major Scale shapes (Shape 3 - or the Phrygian...

    Ah gotcha! Look at what Ids said above, and also check out this video, it's how to memorize all 12 Major scales, which is something that will literally tell you every note in every Major Scale 😊 it's a must if you really want to understand what PG talks about in the lessons. It's also crucial...

    How do i know when scale has a sharp note, for instance in the A scale, or the B scale

    If you're unsure of these things then getting these three crucial things down will really help: 1. Knowing how the notes are laid out on the Low E String of your Guitar - This will be how you identify the A note that starts off your A scale (it's 5th fret for reference) -...
