Velcro was invented in 1941. Swiss engineer George de Mestral noticed how burrs would stick to his dog's fur. Out came the microscope and it was found the burrs had small hooks on the end, and the dog's hair had a natural "loop" to it. That's why you'll also hear Velcro called a "hook and loop" fastener. Interestingly, when your Velcro gets old and won't hold any more, it's the matted "loop," not the hook, that gets worn out. I have finally made the YT post that is the sum of all my knowledge.

Back into playing now and having to learn new chord patterns and playing lead on occasion instead of just rhythm, I'm needing all the pointers i can get. The run made sense, now to rewatch and grasp the patterns that make it flow.

I’ve spent all of February and March learning and practicing moveable major triads and their I IV V changes. I know 20 voicing now because of all the inversions, CAGED and miscellaneous half shapes. It’s been amazing for learning the fretboard notes and intervals. Best thing I’ve ever done. April is going to be all the minor voicings and changes. Should be a cakewalk after laying the groundwork doing the majors.

@@marcoalfredokillyou Ted Greene’s “Chord Chemistry” pages 56-57 and 82-83 for the theory and “Guitar Grimoire Chord Encyclopedia” for chord diagrams. Ted Greene’s chord diagrams are almost useless but the text is fantastic. Definitely get a good chord book that shows the intervals and notes. I made chord diagrams on notecards and spent all February learning every moveable F major chord. Learn the intervals in the chords, not just the shapes. Pay attention to how the inversions work. March I’m practicing all 20 shapes of a different major chord every day and doing the exercises from page 82-83. I feel like I’ve been to guitar bootcamp. April I’m doing the same with minor triads.

Get the basic down. It;s not even that hard to make dim chords using only 3 fingers ( less the barr) what if say you can Insert b2.....b3.....b5......b6......b7 chord degree as as any kind of chords. Just get the basic of V into I ( E MAJ or E7 into A MAJOR) You can also alter the ii and iii into MAJOR. You;ll just be borrowing chords from F# melodic min A Maj....B Maj....C# Maj E Maj into A MAJ..if you wanted to. or A Maj B7 into E7 into A MAJOR or A Maj B dim C#7 into F# min ( F# Harmonic min) You can even use the Full dim H/W scale to make Major, min, dominant or dim chords every b3 intervals VAMP it over the V chord as a GUIDE E7..........G.............Bb.........C#7 ..............G.............Bb......................are N6 chords Notice these the same chords when playing C MAJOR/Amin You can even play 2, 4, b6, 7 as full dim...( they also overlap in C MAJOR/Amin) B........D........F.......G# ( A harmonic MAJOR or A harmonic min) ...................................... F Harmonic min or Gb harmonic MAJOR .......................................C Harmonic min or Eb harmonic min Anyway....you can play D min or dim using A Harmonic MAJOR You dont have to ONLY vamp the full dim H/W over the V or...2, 4, b6, 7 Vamp it over the I or the vi A MAJOR F# min C min E7 into A MAJOR C min is b3 from A and tritone of F# A MAJOR D min G Min C min E7 into A MAJOR. There's a millions of other stuff you can do. You dont have to make funkie chord shapes...KEEP it SIMPLE and EASY until your hands/fingers get stronger. DONT worry if people CANT notate it or site read it Dont even worry if keyboard players cant different chords outside of major scale in whatever keys.

Sean, you beautiful, wily man. I start playing around with this lesson with a one index finger A chord on just the 2nd-3rd-4th strings, then I drop my other three fingers onto the B minor...while still holding the one finger A. I can go back and forth from I to ii. Cool. Make up a few licks. Nice. But then, oh my! From the Bm, still holding the one finger A, I lift my pinky and there's a D, the IV. From the D, I lift my middle finger and now it's F#m, the vi. Four chords using the same three strings at just one spot on the neck. Now I move everything up 2 frets. I now have my index finger making a one finger B, but the other three fingers hold the C#m, the iii. I lift my pinky and there's the E, the V. That is so sweet. Every chord but the diminished vii in easy reach. The concept is completely moveable; any chord's A shape can be the I and you have ii, IV, vi right there, with iii and V up an easy two frets. Just great stuff. So simple when I finally see it, but I wouldn't have seen it without your relentless encouragement to keep trying to see the fretboard in new ways. My heartfelt thanks! (Please feel my encouragement to teach some lessons on finding triads without moving too far. Also, a question: how would you add the G#dim here? I can see a couple of ways to grab the notes, but would appreciate your thought process.) Now I'm sitting here using your lesson, looking out my window at robins courting in the rain, playing a major chord progression, using minor arpeggio licks to link the chords. It sounds pretty nice.
