Good job! So happy to hear that!

Please watch ET-012 Major Triad on One String Approach.
https://tomovhxtv.vhx.tv/music-theory-i/videos/et12-major-triads

Then you can learn triad inversions on horizontal and verticle.
Next key is F.... Maybe Bb.... Maybe G.... or D....

I would do C, F, Bb, Eb etc. You can do G, D, A, E etc.
Slowly is very important. Best not to think EVERYTHING!

Thank you so much!
You are doing so good!

My pleasure! Yes. You can apply triad inversions on C Blues after F Blues. Similar approach. Play 3 different inversions on each chord as much as you can. Good job!

Thanks so much for watching these triad inversions videos and thanks for getting my GW e-book!

Well, you could follow the cycle of 4ths or 5ths (depends which way you go around the diagram. BUT Tomo has a lot of lessons in Bb (Bb blues R37 and Blue Monk just off the top of my head), so if it were me, I'd go with Bb, then F (the 5th of Bb) then Eb (the 4th of Bb).

Thank you Matt for suggestions & encouragement!

Yes! Follow Bb Blues (123 set strings)
Follow G D Em C (top 123 set strings)

I love going C, F, Bb and Eb ... way to Autumn Leaves!

sensei me and my friend was talking yesterday about guitar (for hours) lol and we was talking about "guitar friendly keys" , am I correct in saying that the most guitar friendly keys are the Sharp keys so C , G, D ,A, E ,B

me And my friend was both talking about how we notice most songs we play (pop and rock songs) tend to be in these keys.

and am I correct in saying that the flat keys are the ones favoured by jazz players, so most jazz songs tend to be in flat keys say F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb

and is this the reason jazz players tend to practice the cycle of 5ths anti clockwise (cycle of 4ths) ????

I heard a piano teacher once say " jazz musicians run in different circles to classical musicians , jazz musicians follow the cycle of 4ths and classical musicians follow the cycle of 5ths"

Thank you for sharing this.

Yes! Jazz guys use more flat keys. Rock guys use more sharp keys.

So blend in both sides is good.

Don't worry about the cycle/circle of 5ths or 4ths. I like 4ths.

I follow more songs than theory.
