Welcome @Aeric Bansuri and @Phil Smith !
Theory Bites 6 - Do we even use this one?
The answer is basically - no. But we are going to cover it anyways. The last chord in the Key of G. F# Diminished. F# A C. Memorize it? Sure! But we almost never use it, you probably wont either. I’ll tell you how you can use it, and then!!!! I’ll suggest a cool alternative TO it that we can use and that is frequently used as an “outside” chord IN G! How to use it: This chord can be used as a V chord. the D to go straight to G. It resolves nicely. Sounds weird, but resolves nicely. This concludes our key of G! Now how to use something I consider more useful? Instead of the viio (Roman numeral for the last chord diminished). let’s kick that back a half step more and make it a major chord, the “Flat 7 chord in G”. the bVII - F major. It too works now with the rest of the chords in G In fact without it, Freebird doesnt exist! G D Em F C D - Intro to Freebird I V vi bVII IV V. When making a bVII in any key take the Letter of that Key, pop it back a letter before, and make it a major chord. so if my Key is G The alphabet letter just before G is F F major is my bVII and sounds great going to G! Hope this made sense! Would love your thoughts and feedback!

Nice! Gets used as a V a lot in earlier jazz tunes and solos. I usually introduce it in the same way, ’You know that chord that everyone told you would never be useful? Well here it is!’
Hello
Hello Sean and everyone Thank you for welcoming me here. Last night I seen welcome post for new members (me included) and found it very sweet. But it was late for me and sometimes I am a little awkward with social interactions, so I decided to come back to it with morning coffee. Turned out, that I cant see the post anymore. Anyway I wanted to say thank you and that I am happy to be here....as the group description say - with friendly people who love guitar.

@Misha Pelt Very special. Good way to set yourself for the day. Ah that’s very cool!
Theory Bites 5 - Just a little nibble!
If been following the series, then you know that we have just gone through the five chord in the key of G. It is now Chord 6 in the key. We know it as a few things, and you may have run across these terms. “The 6 chord” “The relative minor” “The 6 minor, or 6m” if youre into the Nashville numbering system. “vi” They all stand for the same thing. In our Exploration of the key of G, its one chord. E minor or Em. It is made of the notes E G B. Thats all you need to do to memorize the Chord, and label it as the 6 chord in G. So in the key now: G Am Bm C D and now Em In Nashville its “1 2m 3m 4 5 6m in the key of G” In Roman Numbers its “I, ii, iii, IV, V and vi in G” You should have easily memorized all the notes that make up these chords and be drilling on them, if youve applied yourself to this series by now, right? If so, the key of G is yours for life, (just about!) Thats going to be a common key, if not the most common one you as a guitar player are likely to face. And at least in ONE key you'll hold a lot of knowledge, and be pretty strongly able to follow theory in that key! So why not be a beast in knowing it, right? Till next time, we are almost done!

Great!
I really Suck at this I know. But...
Welcome to people that I should have welcomed way sooner! I could make a lot of valid excuses, but the truth is I just got jumbled around and the next thing you know one day is two and so on and here we are. Totally my fault. I am GENUINELY glad you are all here! In no particular order: Welcome @George Cole It's great to have you with us. I met George through @Ricardo Ponce who was having a live. In the brief minutes we got to talk, we fought with my horrible mic sound, which occurred during a mild flood at my home, anyways it's a long story and we are all dried out now. But yeah, welcome to the community! Look forward to seeing and getting to know you more! Welcome @Misha Pelt to our community. From the brief into I had with her, she is a new member but also has her own community in which she is trying to help others understand the fretboard. I embrace others out there that are trying to use their own unique way of doing things to help others. I hope we can get to know you and support what youre about and what youre doing, Misha. Please forgive the delay in welcoming you! Welcome @Sam Ryan I got to speak to you briefly, and I hope things are improving for you. Look forward to getting to know you more!
