I expect that its something obvious so try not to laugh.I appreciate any help on the subject. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This question would be stupid if you didn't ask it and ONLY then! Not knowing how to benefit from these letters is tremendously much more stupid than asking the question. Don't excuse your stupidity for not knowing everything because there's no need. I mean not knowing something doesn't make you stupid. Not trying to find out may qualify into that category though (some times) and appearently you don't fall into the category of stupid. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thats the way I see it anyways. Also the question you asked (regarding letters on videos) is perfectly valid because if you follow that harmony and analyze melody in relation to it, your lesson experience becomes much richer in my opinion You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

These letters are usually chords that are within the backing, but on screen text can contain various other info as well, specially in the slow videos (videos that are not the main video in the lesson, marked 1, 2, 3, 4 etc). If have any more questions please ask, we will gladly help you. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I hope I didn't come across as "yeah, that's a stupid question, but here's an answer anyway." Like everyone else said, it's important to ask questions here. Not only do you get an answer, but you help everyone else that may have been wondering. I don't think that information is written anywhere and i didn't get it right away. But it didn't keep me from learning the lessons. So I just ignored them for a while. But it's so useful... If I found this post, I would have been able to learn from those chord indicators earlier and be ahead of where I am now. So thanks for bringing it up.
