For a fun thing to watch, notice Justin’s big toe tapping as he is playing in thirds. as he is playing in thirds.
I know Justin is saying that it is important that we know where the chord tones are, using the barre E shape, but why? I fiddle with it and then go “OK, why?” I can make up the answer, but I have no way of having the context of “why.”
When you improvise over a chord progression, you will often want to play notes that are in the chord that is playing at that particular moment. So, knowing where the chord tones are will be useful when you start improvising.
I see, it makes sense. Thank you for the response.
