    Hello All,

    On this weeks Wednesday lesson, the lesson says that both shapes are A minor shapes. Isn’t the first shape A major?

    The third note in an A major scale is a C# not a C

    A major scale is A B C# D E F# G# A

    the tab reads A B C D E F G A B C D E F G A, which is A minor

    You’re welcome…..

    Not sure how far along you’re on your guitar journey but the C major scale is the model Major scale formula, no sharps or flats C D E F G A B C

    Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half (steps/fret)….

    and the A Minor scale is the model Minor scale formula, also no sharps or flats…..

    A B C D E F G A

    Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole (steps/frets)

    I hope this makes sense.
