Understanding your relative major and minor chords, and how you can use them in chord scales, is a pretty important topic. You’ll see chord scales used fairly often in all kinds of popular music… and after going through this lesson, you’ll be using them too!
Understanding your relative majors and minors and how they relate to each other, and to the scales, and to the chords, is really important. It’s part of the glue that holds it all together, and provides us some useful ways to approach our playing as well.
This lesson is about combining different types of diatonic scales, so that you can really dig in and use your whole fretboard in a solo.

Understanding chord relationships is very important, and this lesson will show you how you can use I IV V and the relative major and minor chords in each key.
Prior to watching this lesson, it would be good to be familiar with Colin’s lesson on the Chord Scale and how I IV V is used there.
