Lesson 9 - arpeggios

When is a seventh chord in any song, but you don't know it or have problem to grasp it, you can play it as simple major/minor chord. E.g. if in a song are chords...

Lesson 3 - tones
At last we talk about semitones and intervals. One important thing, you should remember, is that movement one fret up/down means movement one semitone up/down.
