I think you would be better off learning in the key of C major to start off. Then learn in other keys.

Much simpler and easier for example:

Lets say 1-5-6 chord progresion or Cmaj-Gmaj-Amin

You could use C major scale, Aminor scale or C major pentatonic or(basically the same scale) A minor pent or various modes like C Ionian over the Cmajor chord ect...

Easier when just starting than trying to learn in the key of A minor in my opinion.

Anyone else share this opinion?
