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

[Leo The Gym Rat]

The double # & b is more how you would name the note you get to properly by travelling a whole step - that's why those keys aren't practical to use, because nobody wants to call a E minor chord a D## minor It really is just pedantics but it's worth knowing.

That's great that you're writing them down every day! It'll get them in your head in no time

Yeah, i guess its just one of these things that are hard just for the sake of being hard, no reason to play a D# instead of a Eb, but thanks for clearing it up!

Yeah totally, D# and Eb are the exact same note so it's like - if you want to juggle all those sharps you can, or you can just have a scale with 3 flats (Eb)
