Why didn't this amazing guitarist know what key you were playing in? Or was he just quizzing you on the spot?
[QUOTE=Itsmesilly]I appreciate the time and patience.....

It's what I do. :)

Just commit to making time to move your fingers and build your aural skills along with your theory studies. Otherwise you'll be one of those "musicians" that knows "an A major chord consists of an A, C# and E and those are the 1st, major 3rd and fifth of the A major scale ..."

But can't actually play an A major chord. And wouldn't be able to recognize the sound of one if they heard it.
