    Awesome Rick!- Bought the book a while back. Music Theory is so addictive, once you start putting it all together- It takes some time for sure, but it's so freakin' worth it- I remember when I took a class at Santa Monica College, (because I was so frustrated I couldn't learn the modes!) - But one day in class, everything just clicked in my little brain, and I was so excited, I almost had to leave the classroom! ..lol- That was a great day, and I've been hooked ever since- great video man

Ibfound it a valuable challenge, but wouldve saved a lot of time! This distilled weeks of learning scale notes and shapes.

    I've settled on a method these days where I treat the note in the bass as the root (I mostly play piano/keyboards) and build up the chord from there, or sometimes use a slash chord notation when it makes sense. For example, A in the bass and C-E-G I would wrote as Amin7 or C/A. I think this is the way Donald Fagen approaches chord conventions and it makes sense to me.

    I see these triad formulas on my Beato coffee mug every morning!

    About 40 + years ago I made flash cards and memorized all the major triads. So important to know. Right on Rick.
