This is a very good video. It goes beyond what the title implies.

He covers chord progressions, song structure, and the circle of fifths and how they relate to the guitar. Also covered is chords and diatonic melody structures. He relates it all to to position in the scale so you can transpose to any key.

It would be hard to say too many good things about this video. It demystifies how you actually use the dreaded music theory in a practical way.

Why does music work the way it does, what comes next in a progression? Fred explains in clear brilliantly simple style the theory behind the movement of music, the pattern that remains the same, even though the key can change, the structure that makes the song. This is a rosetta stone for musical understanding and Fred is the man who helps you understand it without obfuscation and ego, but with the clarity of a teacher who really knows music inside out. He's a brilliant teacher and a really good player. Buy this dvd, buy all his dvd's they're the best way to learn guitar that I've found. Fred is great!

In his calm and natural style, Fred explains song organization with a mix of licks, chords, songs and theory. You will learn a lot about how to listen for chord progressions by watching and playing along with very accessible instruction for guitarists of all levels.
