  • What is Bb? I thought it's directly C after B like EF...and so BC...

    Also is there any logic to see if A,C#,E =A-major why is it called major and how to it has C# instead of C w.r.t A-minor chord where A-min=A,C,E?

  • @kuldeuec Bb = B flat, which is 1 down from B.

    A major is called Major because it takes its name from the Major scale, and that is also why it is C#. The scale of A major has a C# sharp in it and therefore so does the chord. The scale of A minor has a C natural and therefore Am chord has a C (C natural)

  • Is that a typo at 1:14 ? D Major - Triad D F# A - A Major...? (not D Major?)

    Also what does the '#' and the small 'b' in 'Bb' represent - i.e. how would they be played? (>.<)

  • @7QIA Yes it is a typo, I have fixed it, I just need to upload the new video.  Good observation skills . . .

  • @kuldeuec lawl naw fool Bb is a half step down from B which is A# @.@

  • I only know how to finger A minor

  • Break Through!!!!!!!! I finally get it!

  • @Raisah99 Try learning from my teacher... This was a godsend for me lol. I'm not paying my teacher anymore...

  • Great vid! Not exciting as some people will want it to be, but VERY HELPFUL. I am a beginner and would like to have a good chord/scales theory foundation, cos I want to be able to make improvisations and to be able to read scales properly. And you explain them so simple that even a kid would understand!

    Thank you!

  • this is very helpful thanks
