Learning guitar

[OldMoses]

Interesting - but what's a "v-chord"? LoL

Three chord wonders! They certainly made the most of them. In his memoir "Life" Keith Richards tells about recording "Jumpin' Jack Flash" with a capo, to get the guitar sounding "tight". It sounds like an electric guitar, but did you know that was done with an acoustic? Cassette recorders were in their infancy and didn't yet have basic features like volume limiters, and he recorded his acoustic guitar on one with the input volume turned way up so that it distorted. Brilliant!

V as in Roman numeral for 5. The fifth chord in the scale series. The V chord of C major would be G major

I      C maj
II     D min
III    E min
IV    F maj
V     G maj
VI    A min
VII   B min diminished
