For anyone out there who is scared of theory, watch this video. Simon makes it simple and easy to understand. Everyone, learn your fretboard! It's a must! Thanks Simon for another great video!

So in the Csus4 youre talking about, How and why do you know to suspend the 3rd for the 4th instead of the fifth? Is suspending the 5th for a 4th a thing? what would that be called? Sorry Im a noob 😅 I just love watching educational music youtube videos and want it to not sound like a foreign language lol

Hi Simon, hope you're doing well.
I really appreciate your education about guitar.
I wanted to be very clear about how to count these numbers on fretboard. Can you show me by little example showing me on any scale how to count the 6th, 7th n so on. Please need help.

All is going well until 1:24 when the B becomes Bb without explaining why.
