Looks like about a month since any of us "Old Folks" added anything, so thought I would jump back in and say Hello. Been working on Blues, Country and Rock "1" series in each and mixing them up, but I have been working more on a handful of songs (strumming) with some friends. We now have a threesome (not the 4 guys in my avatar) that gets together to strum and sing (all poorly) every other Tuesday - great fun.

Loving the Blues class, BUT some of the lessons on variations get confusing very quickly. When he starts talking about where the IV and V are on a minor 7 variation or how to find the right notes to make up an abbrieviated chord and I'm watching the video and my brain is going "WHAT????" I want to be able to follow along with the logic of his music theory, but it can take 20-30 minutes on some lessons, just to figure out what he is talking about.

Is there a separate "music theory" class that we should be watching?
