Ep175 Q&A Thumb Chords - Song Memory - Rhythm Tips - and Foo Fighters Fretboard Tricks
About this episode
In episode 175 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I answer listener emails about:
- Using your thumb to fret the 6th string in barre chords and possible workarounds
- How to improve your rhythm and memorize songs more effectively
- The G form barre chord and how it's used in modern playing
- A theory-based analysis of Foo Fighters' use of pedal tones in chord progressions
- Why sus4 and minor 6 chords don't naturally occur in certain scale degrees
- Why guitarists sometimes play notes like F# over A minor—mixing scales in blues-based rock
Plus, I mention the JamZone app and how it can help you practice and play along with real songs.
