Hey Tomasz, This one explains everything you've played these ten days. Tomorrow I'll show you where the path goes.  Not four random shapes. A family: the chords that live inside the key of C. Musicians number them instead of naming them. C is I, home. G is V, the pull back home. A minor is vi, the sad one. Home, away, sad: that's the engine under a huge share of popular music.  We colour chords by their NUMBER, not their name. Same three jobs, different key, and the colours never move. Look at G. In C it's teal, the V that pulls home. In G it's orange, the I, home itself. Same shape, different job. Learn the jobs and every key is the same three with new letters. Try it now: 6 minutes Play the family slowly: C, G, Am, Am7. Say the numbers out loud as you land them: one, five, six. Then put the thumb to work: pattern 1 on C for a bar, on Am for a bar. You're Travis picking a progression. The pass mark: you can name what each chord is DOING while you play it. That's more theory than most players ever learn. Ten lessons in, here's what's in your hands: a walking thumb, two patterns, a pinch, a moving melody, four chords, a switching score, and the map they live on. TOMORROW → where this path actually leads. These ten lessons were the foundations. The new interactive course is the full twenty-day path that uses them: four complete songs, in order.
