I can't stress enough about how important is to master reading music not only for understanding this lesson, but music in general. Learn it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yltCkCy1DeM

Good to see you again. Missed you.

I just learned A River Flows In You. I won’t say you should learn it but I would say it’s a good exercise for someone wanting to understand chords. It set me on my current course to try to understand how to think in chords.

And it sounds pretty good too, so I can see why a less experienced pianist, such as myself, would find great value in it.
