Scotty's and absolute legend for making this amazing content for free. It has been a long time dream for me to finally understand the guitar after so many years of suffering. Bought the book also. Thank you Mr. West!
As a novice guitar player (5 years of noodling and not getting very far), I'm really enjoying this series. I'm learning a lot of the reasons WHY things are the way they are in music and with the layout of the instrument. It's helping me connect the dots.
The chord (eerie one), I use in my songs, and I believe is used in pale shelter by tears for fears. Also, I tried to figure out what the name of the chord would be and I am finding it difficult - could you help me
Do you mean the chord when he took an E-shape E major and moved it up one fret without a barre? I would call that an "F major 7th sharp 11th over E" or "Fmaj7#11/E", which means that it's an F major, but includes the major 7th [E], and includes the sharp 11th [B], *and* the E (or one of them) is lower than the F (since the chord is usually named after the lowest note). If you want to call it an E chord, it would be "E suspended 4th flat 6 flat 9" or "Esus b6 b9", because the lowest note is an E, the major third [G#] that should have been there got suspended and replaced with the perfect fourth [A], there's also a flat 6th in there [C], and a flat 9th [F].

Sweet jesus. I'm buying that book. This is extremely helpful. 7 months in this journey and I've learned more in 4 hours than in those 7 months.

The turtleneck underneath completes the sweater.

Why wouldn't the F shape included?
Because it's an E shape but on a first fret? He talks about it at 25-30 minutes.
