About this listen

In episode 175 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I answer listener emails about:

  • Using your thumb to fret the 6th string in barre chords and possible workarounds
  • How to improve your rhythm and memorize songs more effectively
  • The G form barre chord and how it's used in modern playing
  • A theory-based analysis of Foo Fighters’ use of pedal tones in chord progressions
  • Why sus4 and minor 6 chords don’t naturally occur in certain scale degrees
  • Why guitarists sometimes play notes like F# over A minor—mixing scales in blues-based rock

Plus, I mention the JamZone app and how it can help you practice and play along with real songs.
