Hi Brandon,
After reading your response, I believe what might help you once you understand the overall theory is the “Circle of 5th’s”. The Circle will tell you all the relationships between the Key notes & Chords (Major/Minor) and their relationship to each other. It also helps with the Nashville Number System (Week 2) and just a handy tool to have on hand to put everything in perspective along with the pattern recognition you’re looking for.
As I progress in the Daily Challenges, it is eye-opening to see how Tony’s lessons fall in the Circle of 5th’s sectors. Then, to incorporate the CAGED system with the Circle is definitely a game changer. It brings you up to the next level in music theory. Definitely check it out. Amazon has a Circle of 5th’s wheel, but you probably can make your own. Good luck!
