In this chapter we find multiple locations to play all of these chords, this time with shapes based on the D and E strings. We will also talk about arpeggiating all of these chords with shapes from the Fretboard Method.

I know I still have to go through this series, but was just curious how do you keep track of the chords in a song, especially while you're soloing Let's take a song with the following diatonic progression: 6, 2, 4, 1 Do you always keep in mind the 1 of the key to instantly find the root of the various chords? Or do you memorize for example the movement from 6 to 2, 2 to 4, etc... Or memorize note names? (I know the answer is all three :) ) I know connections are continuously creating in our mind and reinforcing one to each other, but I was just curios about what you would prioritize. Do you use the same approach while playing rhythm or solo?

I'd probably do this, lets say 6-2-4-1 in D On initial listen/learn I'd think about being in the key of D, and I'd actively think Bm-Em-G-D. This is to get my footing in the progression, especially if it's something I haven't played over that much. As I'm practicing the progression (as in just playing the chords), I'm thinking about each chord's function (6-2-4-1) and looking for connections between them all. I've played 6-2 thousands of times, so I know many connections there, I know 2-4 are relative minor-major so I can more or less play the same ideas just shift my root/landing spots, and then I've played 4-1 thousands of times as well so I'll have many connections. Basically what you're describing for the most part. I'd also be looking for any way to simplify things, just to make things easier. For example, you could more or less solo the pentatonic of the 1 chord (D maj) over that entire progression, as all of the notes function relatively smoothly over every one of those chords. Super useful if the chords are flying by. The last thing that is SUPER important before I can really play comfortably over those chords. I must be able to hear the next chord in my head before it happens. If I'm playing the 6 chord, I need to hear the 2 in my head and know exactly when it is changing. If I can hear the next chord then I can very easily connect notes, continuing the melody. For example If I'm playing the 6 chord (Bm) and I can hear the 2 chord (Em) coming up, I can also hear in my head that the 5th of that Bm can move up a half step and become the b3 of the Em. I can hear this because I've played this change thousands of times, and that connection is solid in my ears. Being able to hear the next chord before it happens allows me to hear how the melodies will connect, giving me options that I know will work.
