📌EDIT: The chords you hear during the “name the chord” section at the end are actually the wrong audio clips. I managed to muddle them up! I’ve cut a couple clips out of the last segment of this video accordingly but YouTube’s rubbish online editor isn’t working properly so I can’t seem to edit them all out. Sorry for any confusion!
Chord symbols can often come with little rules and conventions that can be hard to understand or remember. So today I’m going through every single chord symbol you could possibly encounter so you know what to do when you’re learning your next song!
The outro music is my track “Running Man” which you can hear in full on my Spotify: https://sptfy.com/davidbennett
