Ok.Mel - .probably too complex of a question for my skill level, I’ll throw it out here anyway so I thought I figured out that the song was in D…but why/how Dm? How would i be able to tell the difference? Also - in the solo - I can kind of follow along with the tab and I recognize the D scales and get the positioning T the start, but I think he shifts into A patterns in higher part of the solo - over the c and G chords which I guess makes sense because the Am pentatonic would be the 5th of C - am I thinking about that correctly?

Hey @Melvin Williams we were just talking about Mark..his finger style is crazy. But I love how he demonstrates his tone on the different guitars in this video. https://youtu.be/PNPgmqBrJec?si=D2SBzQ0n0vTHb-W-

Do you know the formula for the Major Scale… without understanding this, the keys I was talking about may not make much sense?! Questions?!

... asked one of my students tonight... Here's a pretty explanation I found with musical examples... enjoy!

Had my first guitar lesson in over 20 years tonight! Now i have to re-learn how to play a C! and find them all on the neck! lol. It was great..and opened my eyes to a lot of what I didn't know I already knew..but didn't know how to connect them. Thanks Mel for taking the time teach and share your skill and love of guitar. I'm excited to be growing in my playing again. Now was that a Fb or a B#? 🎸🤣
