Loved the class! Couldn’t watch it live since I was at work but the replay gave me time to hit pause take notes and play along.
The chord exercise was insightful. I tried many combinations that I thought should work but didn’t, which forced me to think through the theory and also chord voicing choices ie if the highest octave notes played aren’t the root of the chord I’m leading to, it doesn’t sound as “nice” to my ears. For example compare open chords Am D7 G and Dm G7 C. Playing the C with string 1 muted sounded “better” than letting it ring out the high E.
Anyway here’s my chord progression:
In G major
Verses:
|G G6 |Em Em7|Am Asu4|C Cmaj7|
|Am |D7 |G |G |
Chorus:
|G Em |Am D7|G Em|Am D7|
2x
The idea in the first four bars is to introduce chord tones from the next bar G6 adds E and leads to Em and so on.
