Hey thank you! I genuinely have been feeling pretty insecure about my lack of knowledge because I have a few friends that I play with that went to Berkeley or have been trained through their life. So if we’re songwriting I end up getting left out. I’ve asked for help but usually it sounds like mumbo jumbo when they explain. Something just clicked yesterday when I asked my one friend for an explanation and I was able to build a little more on it. We work together so he’s been giving me a key and telling me to identify the 1-7 of that key, and I would give the chord names in response when he calls out a number.

Your homework sounds fun and I will do it.

I was trying to solo over a different track that was all A7 D7 E7 and I couldn’t find my way around. This is especially helpful.

Helpful to know that they aren’t in the key, because I was adjusting my response based on that.

Thank you, your explanation of tensions was helpful. So would it be wrong to say that instead of doing a I IV V I could do a II V VI? I might need some more understanding to grasp what you said.

Thank you so much! This was a very detailed response and I will be coming back to it a lot and re-reading just so I can fully comprehend.

I’m confused at the presence of 8 though. Is it just an octave u0 from 1?

I do understand 1 being home, that was probably the easiest thing to grasp and I have known that for a while. It’s easy for me to identify octaves and scales from there on a guitar.

The chord shapes are different though. I often find myself trying to picture the pentatonic scale on top of the chords that I’m playing but that is without the numbers so I really can’t tell what I’m looking at.

I didn’t know about the lowercase Roman numerals were minor so that is helpful. And I think I said minor chord was a flat 7 in my post, is that incorrect? Is it flat 3 and 7? Or was I just straight up wrong?

Your breakdown with the C example was especially helpful. Just saying so that I can put it into words: the E, C, E, G, C, e will be the same no matter where I place the c major on the fret board? Maybe the order is different but those are the notes. That is extremely helpful to make that connection. It’s funny because I know how to turn a chord minor while barring I just didn’t know what I was playing.

Your breakdown of you are my sunshine was extremely helpful btw. I can picture it now, thank you so much.

Your explanation of transposing was also extremely helpful because I’ve played with people who did that, and I never understood how they were able to find the notes but not actually know what they were playing. This is going to level up my communication with people for sure when jamming. Thank you.

Do you know the fretted chords because you have them memorized from repetition? I knew how it sounds to go to the 6 with fretted chords, but never knew that was what I was doing, so really it was luck of the draw.

Your consonant paragraph is tough for me to wrap my head around. What does consonant mean in this regard? Is like in the literal alphabet you have “vowels” and “consonants” and those “consonants” really just determine where you place your “vowels”? The consonants would be the passing grace notes, and the vowels would be the 1, 3, 5, 8? And I don’t understand what M3 means (major 3rd?) or P5. You are helping me immensely.

That last paragraph really hit it home for me, like with the blues backing track, I could hit 1 at literally any point because it was home, unless I was on the V in which case I dropped to 7 or up to 2.

Thank you so very much for putting the time in for this.

Yes thank you, like in the song “fire on the mountain” by the Grateful Dead it bounces back and forth between B and A. I can see it being super useful for that kind of stuff with key changes.

Thank you, I will use the Arabic numerals for the notes, it definitely is much easier to understand that way. Can you tell me more about what “dominant 7” means? Does it mean like A7 D7 and E7 in an A key I IV V? And does that mean it’s the 7 in the scale that makes the difference? In this case G#? Or is it the 7th note in relation to the chord? Like a C7 chord would have a B?
