For major chords we have 7 notes back , 7 notes forward and for minor chords we have 2 and 4 notes forward and 3 notes back. For example, what chords works for Bmaj? ...well, 7 notes back is E which will be a maj chord, and 7 notes forward is F# which will be the second maj chord. 2 notes forward will be C# which will be a minor chord, 4 notes forward will be D# also a minor chord. And last, 3 notes back, will be G#, minor chord as well.

Other people could probably learn quicker....I'm about half way through the circle of fifths. Now I could find a C,G,D,Em, A, Am, F or E anywhere on the fretboard instantly like he says. So in short it definitely works.

Really good lesson, I'll be doing this lesson every day this week and longer. I would like to hear you pick out an existing standard tune like "Autumn Leaves" or "Desafinado" or any standard and hear how you figure out and drop chords into the song as you play. Most teachers are teaching chords but I don't see anyone teaching how to read music. If you can read a written song on a music staff and play the song and others like it over and over, isn't that the most fun way of learning where the notes on the fret board are? Then, when you are confident of all the notes and where they are on the music staff and fretboard, adding chords would be a snap starting with simple theory: 135 is major triad and 1b35 is minor triad and building on that and knowing where all the chords are immediately. So, I'm trying to read music other than those simple guitar book songs and playing melodies by ear using the entire fretboard anywhere my fingers take me. It is a great way to learn the fretboard for me, where the notes I play are on the music staff, and playing songs helps learning which finger positions are comfortable or sound better and which direction the sound or position takes you, either from string to string or down the fretboard then down the strings again. If I get good at playing standard melodies plus reading then adding chords would be a cinch. Anyway, I think more teachers including you should teach reading as another Way to learn fretboard plus you learn a million great songs of American standards, and each has their own unique chord structure. Too many students think they have to learn progressions and then they are musicians or composers, well I say playing songs of American culture and other countries is important as it gives you more ideas too to create your own. Anyway it's late, but tomorrow I begin using your 4156 chords over total fretboard idea, love it. Thanks a mil. ciao.

Though I find this interesting and do my best to understand it, I heard Misha Mansoor say in a video with the Capn' that he doesn't know a lick of theory. While I believe that he may not think he does but just naturally understands it in some way, it did make me happy to know that someone of his caliber doesn't sit around all day using theory to create cool music. I will continue to learn it, though, because even videos like this help me understand the fret board in its entirety...something I never thought I would consider doing. I mean, what kind of musician doesn't understand their instrument inside and out? Sad to think how many of us there truly are.
