The incredible replies to this question make me feel like the absolute dumbest guitar picker on the planet. I’ve tried in the past to learn some of this. My head ends up feeling like I remember from high school when I failed algebra 1 & 2 twice. I hit a wall trying to absorb this stuff. This possibly explains why I love Keith Urban so much. I’ve read he has zero grasp of theory, even to the point of once asking Harry Connick Jr. what he meant by the 1, 4 and 5 chord! At least I know that. I have such respect and admiration for people who can instantly tell notes, sharps and flats, etc., in different modes. Always wished I had accomplished that myself!
