Actually, Mario, I thought I had posted this in the Beginners forum, not the Woodshedding—Learning to Play forum. I guess both could be considered "beginner" forums. My comment was not directed at you. The video also explained this much better than I could.

It was a good thing Moonbeam posted the video. It was certainly more instructive than a short post from either of us could be.

I learned these "pivot" chords from hearing them first. It never occurred to me, learning them by ear, that they were always the fifth of the next chord.

I think many guitar players may take a very long time to recognize every note and every inversion on the frett board and have the guitar become as visual as the piano.

The longer I play the more I understand the value of the work I have been unwilling to do...lol

Knowing why something works can be quite valuable. However, knowing music theory is not a requirement for playing.

Everything is good.

Cheers,


Billy
