This is the second part in a series of podcasts on practical music theory for guitar players. In this podcast I discuss how the notes makes up a key. To subscribe, click here put http://podcast.torvund.net/musictheory.xml in your podcast software, for instance iTunes.
[...] The last progression in Ray’s question is i iv VIIb IIIb VIb iidim V i. It has a minor root (i). If we put it in A-minor, this will be Am. The next chord is a minor chord build on the prefect fourth, whic will be Dm. Then there is a major chord build on the minor seventh note, which will be G. Then there is a major chord built on the minor third, which will be C. Then there is a major chord built on the minor sixth, which will be F. Then we have the diminished triad built on the second, which is Bdim (but not Bdim7 – you will often see dim7 notated just as dim). In natural minor, the diatonic chord built on the 5th of the scale will be a minor chord. Here it is a major chord. If we compare Em and E, the Em has the notes E-G-B, while the E has E-G#-B. The G# is a major seventh, the note one half step below the root. This note is also known as the leading note. This note gives a stronger push towards the root, and a stronger sense of being in some kind of an A-key in this case. When the minor seventh is substituted with a major seventh, meaning that we have get a V rather than a v chord, we have harmonic minor. You will hear more about the leading note if you listen so my podcast on What is a key?. [...]

Useful podacst. Thanks.
This is an excellent guitar resource. I’m going to go ahead and bookmark it for future use. Thanks!
Good Day EXpert, I am glad I pressed harder enough until I found music note, because this post on Practical music theory for guitar player – what is a key? was extremely helpful. Just last Sunday I was pondering on this quite a bit.

The great thing about guitar playing is that there are so many different styles of playing. In fact new ways are being invented all the time. With each new style of playing, there is a door opened for interpretation by millions of guitarists all over the world. What does this all really mean though?? I?ll tell you what it means. It means anybody anywhere can
learn how to find a way to express themselves uniquely with a guitar! I mean, when you really think about it, the guitar is the only instrument that can boast such versatility!!!!
