Hey you should post a vid on bossa nova, its really fun to play as a guitar player

@CustodioRichmond Cmaj7 and Cm have different notes, and different sounds. For chord labels with a slash (such as F/G#), the stuff to the left of the slash is the chord, the stuff to the right of the slash is the bass (the lowest note of the chord). If a bass player is in the room, you can ignore the stuff to the right of the slash.

I most def disagree there's this dude on YouTube that sound way more professional then this dude. You can hardly hear him and his guitar

Yea, definitely, this is the best single lesson on youtube if you want to sound more advanced!

That was a GREAT lesson. I haven't yet run across the method yet of how you built that Dm7 from a C scale even though I know the Dorian mode for figuring out scales.

I'm not even 3 minutes into the video!

Thanks!!

@CustodioRichmond an F/G# chord is an inversion chord, meaning it's just an F chord, but the chord starts with G# as the first note played. Typically though, F is made up of F A C notes, which is what you would be playing, but just adding a G# as the first note played.

Knowing if something is Major or minor is something you'll have to learn on your own. It's pretty fundamental and I suggest hiring an instructor to help you with this.
