    Alex,
    I regret to say you're harming my progress on guitar. Just when I get part way through one stellar, must- learn lesson, another pops up. I just don't have the willpower to fully master any given one. Please take it easy with the non-stop excellence!

    Great detail, Alex! I like the theory detail that you go into. When you outline the changes, you describe it as I, Idim, iv minor, I. However, I've never heard another teacher explain it that way even though it is one of the most common turnarounds. They usually just point out that it is the 3rd and the 5th of G descending chromatically down to the Root and the 3rd. Looking at it as an implied progression really helps! cheers!
