  • Thanks for the input NYUKULELE and thanks for viewing. Quite honestly... when I play a DIM chord I don't consciously think of the name of the chord. I go more by feel. I know it's important when teaching to get these details correct. But I think it's more important to make music sound like music. If a student of mine thinks "I need to play the diminished chord that starts at the 4th fret" and that student plays the song beautifully... I've accomplished my goal as a teacher.

  • Thanks all. The second video in this series will be out by Christmas. I am currently wrapping up my fall 2011 performance schedule and don't have time to make a video.

    @Domiuke - an F9 would sound nice as well
