This week’s live class will be on Friday, the 17th, at 12pm (noon) central time.
This is part 3 of our ear training series, where we will be discussing how to recognize chord progressions, and the common patterns to look for when deciphering a song’s chord structure.
Hope to see you there.

Awesome! I did not think of “down” tuning will give it a try! Thank you.

Jonathan replied to the topic Am7 in the forum Questions & Struggles 7 years, 9 months ago
Hey Helene, yes that is totally fine.
The Am7 with the pinky down is a way to help with transitions, as it creates one less finger to move to and from the Am7. But if transitioning is less of a problem than the actual chord, then you can scratch the pinky and play the Am7 with an open high e. -

Hey Doug, if playing Amazing Grace in G is too high for you, you have a couple of options.
1. Tune your guitar down a half step or whole step.
Because you are playing the G without a capo on, the only way to get a lower pitch with changing the chords entirely is to down tune your guitar. A half step would be Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, and Eb, starting with your thickest string.

I am working on the Seven Day Challenge – the key is just a little high for my voice – what fret should I use to get this a half-step or so lower? I believe it is in the key of G – so I guess the key of F might work…..almost ready to record my progress….thank you!

Peg replied to the topic Finger Slipping..? in the forum Questions & Struggles 7 years, 9 months ago
Angela, I think I can relate to what you’re describing. When I play the D/F# chord, my ring finger that’s on the 3rd fret of the B string wants to creep up closer towards the 2nd fret. I’m trying to stretch my reach to help with that problem. Is this what you’re talking about?

This replay class is just what I’ve needed! In my humble opinion, you explained dynamics exceptionally well. I hope you and your beautiful family had a safe and happy travel time.
