You're welcome! I'm glad you are already working on GF1. Lisa does a great job of teaching & showing the basic chord key groups.

With that in mind you might want to just focus on the GF courses before worrying too much about my improv tutorials.

[quote=satriowahyupratomo]... I always use the 6th and 5th string to find the key and chords, but learning music theory makes me think if there's a systematic approach within the concept of the music theory itself, well, it's good to know that I'm on the right track.

That's a good approach! The main reason I suggest continuing to work on GF1 is that you need to play various groups of chord progressions like I-IV-V so you are building a similar folder of chord progressions in your memory banks. You want to play things like this A-D-E progression with the idea in mind that it is a progression:

A (I chord)[br]D (IV chord)[br]A (I chord)[br]E (V chord)

And this group of chords is the exact same progression, but in C instead of A.

C (I chord)[br]F (IV chord)[br]C (I chord)[br]G (V chord)

Those are different key signatures. But eventually you start to realize that those are the same category of sounds anytime you encounter them. So, when you hear Buddy Holly playing It's So Easy, you'll know right away that he's playing an A, D and E major chord in different orders.

A-E-D-E[br]A-D-E-A

Or when you hear Twist & Shout or La Bamba, you'll recognize that they are both just variations on I-IV-V chord progressions in C major!

C-F-G

Every song is built from the basic materials of notes, scales & chords. These patterns repeat over and again in pop, rock, country, blues music. So, the trick is to get your mind & ear to memorize & understand what those patterns are.

Almost every blues you hear is built from a I-IV-V progression. After practicing playing & learning to identify these chord progressions, I can hear them immediately when I hear a new song.

Make sense?! :)

Hope this helps! Please ask more if necessary & best of success with it!
