Traditional Note Names

thanks, what was confusing me was that I had no Idea what the 1st 2nd 3rd etc degrees were . . . I guess that the chords just come from that note on relevant the major scale

Might be too much for right now or be covered later, but it might be helpful to note that for the roman numerals, they’re uppercase or lower case based on whether their chord in the scale is major or minor.

Thanks.
Justin chooses to use all upper case.
I always prefer upper for major and lower for minor (and diminished) as you say.
