Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Tom. This video is for Expert Village.com. We're talking about how to play the guitar, and in this section we're going to talk about the math of that A minor, that last bonus chord we talked about. If we go back to the formula here, there's G. That's our baseline, that's chord #1. 1, 2, 3, 4 -there's our 4th. There's number 5, E is 6, and if I look for the A, the A is right there, that's 2. For most songs, 90% of the songs, once you've got your baseline, in this case G, the chords you need will be 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 6 is going to be a minor chord, and 2 is going to be a minor chord. So A minor, E minor, and the regular chords, G, C, D. I could, again, for those die hards that want to go on and learn a lot of other chords, let's say our baseline is C. So if that's 1, then D is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So if I was to play a song where I started or where my baseline was C, then my chords would be C, F and G, D minor and A minor. So you can practically play or figure out the chords for any song in any key just by remembering 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6."
