Thank you. I had forgotten to analyse the first chord first. BTW, in the "What Key is This In" lesson, I've found that in Step 2, after bringing down the first chord from the chord progression (which will give you the scale to use), simply count backwards the number of notes in this scale to find the other keys (the note you start on is inclusive.) you will use to analyze the progression: for example, C Major could be I, IV, or V. So C is obviously I. Then to find the IV chord, count C, B, A, G---So the second key is G. To find the V key, count C, B, A, G, F---the third key is F. For me, this is much simpler and faster than bothering with the whole and half steps. And it works for every progression!@GregRickard
Rather than start from scratch for Lesson 16 and go through a similar process, he uses the same charts from Lesson 10 that were created when analyzing the Major Key.
Ex 8 in Lesson 10 was: Eb Ab Fm Cm.
Eb, Bb and Ab were the possible Major keys in the chart.
Eb was chosen making the progression: I IV ii vi in Eb Major.
For the minor keys in Lesson 16 he went back to the Lesson 10 Major progressions and picked out only the chosen answers that had a vi chord in them.
He could then analyze those progressions from their relative minor perspective, renumbering the chords making the vi of the Major the i chord in minor.
So the Eb progression which was the answer from Ex 8 in Lesson 10, I IV ii vi becomes III VI iv i in C minor in Lesson 16.
He's not going through the same process.
He's "simply" rearranging the answers arrived at in the Major Lesson from a minor perspective.
The rest of the chart has no bearing on what he's doing now.
Thanks Paleo, that was very much appreciated. Somehow, I overlooked the manual. Guess I need to start looking for downloads before I venture into any of the courses. Some lessons have things available, and others do not. I will make an effort to check out the beginning of each new course before I dive in.@TexBill
The “Exercises” for GTMU are printed in the manual following the text for each lesson.
They are mostly “fill-in-the-blank”.
I like to print them out rather than write in the manual.
That way you can go through them more than once.
And trust me, you’ll need to.
I think I went through the course at least 5 times before I completely understood it all.
Some of those times were years apart!!!
The “Answer” video slows Griff typing the correct responses into his “onscreen” manual.

For AAP members the manuals for each course should be downloadable from the introduction page.Somehow, I overlooked the manual.

That is why I overlooked the manual. I jumped in without looking at the introduction. When you mentioned it I went back to the top of the lesson listing and found the manual. Got it now.For AAP members the manuals for each course should be downloadable from the introduction page.
As far as I know, only 3 "courses" have downloadable video and audio:
The Ultimate Counting Workshop
The 4 Note Solo
Learn The Note Names
Other than that only courses you purchase or ones redeemed for using a Golden Ticket will be downloadable,
Always go through the introduction page... that's a common mistake in the excitement of getting startedThat is why I overlooked the manual. I jumped in without looking at the introduction. When you mentioned it I went back to the top of the lesson listing and found the manual. Got it now.
Thanks for the encouragement, Griff. I usually watch the Intro, however this time I skipped like a flat river rock on a smooth as glass body of water. Advice well taken.Always go through the introduction page... that's a common mistake in the excitement of getting started
