Minor chords sound sad, but they don't have to make you sad. I introduced you to minor chords in the beginner learning track, but now it's time to really own them! Let's unlock that fretboard so we can play any minor chord anywhere on the neck! There are no tabs or diagrams for this lesson–on purpose! I want you to watch and play along with me so you'll really know it.

Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
