Good video Griff. just one small mistake if you want to call it that. When the root is on the 5th string you can still use the same pattern as when it's on the 6th string. you take a root on the 5th lets say a D well if you go to the fourth string you have the 4 and go up 2 frets and you have your 5. It still be played with the same pattern as when the root is on the 6th string. I do it a lot when there's more than one guitar playing.
Excellent video for beginners! I"m a little bit more advanced than this, but I still learn lots about theory and playing guitar in general from your vids. Quite worth my time to watch! Thanks, Griff!
Thanks for the video Griff. I am working on similar things at this point. The playing of what you were showing is a little out of my reach as I'm still pretty new to the guitar and have dexterity issues with my left arm. I was able to put the theory together and it helped me with learning patterns on the fretboard.
holy crap that pinky stretch is rough. Great break down though! This noob subscribed. The blues are one of the main things that encouraged me to pick up the guitar, so your channel is perfect!
For example the blues in A is comprised of A7, D7 E7: No key contains all three chords - actually no key contains any two. A7 is properly in the key of D, D7 is in the key of G, and E7 is in the key of A. Blues guys call A7, D7, E7 as being in the key of A, anyway, as Griff explains.
I'm not equating those two things. However, blues is not in a "key," in the classical theory sense. We say it's a blues in the "key" of A, for example, but the key of A would never have an A7, D7, and E7 chords in it. We all use the word Key wrong, and we're OK with that.
IMHO, the best blues teacher....period!

This octave displacement thing is very circle-of-fifthy.

I dont understand why you are equating a chord change within a key to a key change.
For example the blues in A is comprised of A7, D7 E7: No key contains all three chords - actually no key contains any two. A7 is properly in the key of D, D7 is in the key of G, and E7 is in the key of A. Blues guys call A7, D7, E7 as being in the key of A, anyway, as Griff explains.
