Not that it matters much, but I would prefer to think of the chords as Bb-Eb-F rather than A#-D#-F. Same chords, just aligns better with the 1-4-5 progression.

Hello @StevinSteegan

I’m curious - why do you raise the names of A# and D# when Justin calls them Bb and Eb?

Also - if they were being referred to as A# and D# (which is theoretically fine) the other chord would be E# (not F). Fitting in with the formula for a harmonised major scale.

Hope that helps.
Cheers :smiley:

Hey Richard. Yeah that was the point I was making too. The chords in the subscriber section are listed as A# and D#, but I realized that is because of the key transposing tool that is built in. All good.

@StevinSteegan Goodness - you’re right. I hadn’t noticed that. I will report to Justin and the web dev. team.
Thanks

Having a little trouble hearing if the “and” beats of the shuffle are muted. I find it much easier to pulse my left hand to the beat, but my tendency is only hitting 1,2,3,4 beats not the “and” beats. Also, palm muting a little seems similar and easier? Thoughts?

I guess what I’m hearing is “1 and mute 2 and mute 3 and mute 4 and mute”
And I seem to be able to handle that a little better.

In the fifth bar Justin goes down to the third fret third string to play the b flat. If you play the note instead on the 8th fret 4th string you can stay in position and not have to go up and down the neck. Wouldn’t that be better?

18 million jiggawatts! I need more power;)
