Live Lesson! Chords in a Key (and more)

Video starts at the 3:00 mark
Hi Everyone!
I'm going live on my KZread Channel for the first time since the pandemic started. This time I've got my camera guitar and a nice little setup for teaching.
I'm teaching a lesson first, then I'm happy to field questions that might come up.
If you enjoy this lesson, I've got a weekly live Q&A like this on my Patreon every week. Most people think of Patreon as a donation site, but mine is a full blown music school. Learn more about it here:

    There needs to be an award show for music teachers. Scott would demolish every teacher, every year. This man tops Marty, Steve Stine, Justin guitar, etc. The amount of joy Scott gifts people after every lesson needs to be rewarded. I look up to Scott even more than anyone on Rolling Stones top 100 guitar players of all time. Why? Because he gifts the knowledge of music theory and breaks it down for even the simplest mind, as myself, to comprehend. Scott Paul Johnson is a GOD and if anyone disagrees, well... well then you probably know all your theory and I sound like an idiot. BESIDE THE POINT, bottom line, Scott deserves a cult following and he shall be our leader.

    Hey I'm 118 years old, and I am teaching myself how to play guitar, actually awhile back I used to play when Les Paul was young, back in the Fifties, when I was in my Fifties, I helped him build his first electric guitar out of an old Martin, a bull horn, wire and a handful of old TV tubes. Les got to messin around one day when I was out of town selling vaccum cleaners. Well he got that bull horn cranked up so loud that when he hit a major triad above the 12th fret, the neighbor's german shephard broke loose from his chain and attacked the mailman and half the letters in his satchel got chewed up. One of those letters was for me, from Chuck Berry who had just hit the charts with "Johnny Be Good." I wrote Johnny Be Good, and sold the song to Chuck, at a tavern in Memphis. Chuck sent me a hundred dollar bill that was completely chewed up by the damn dog. A hundred bucks back in the 50s is like $2,000 today, hell you could buy a damn fine used pick up truck for a hundred bucks, or pay six months' rent. So I got pissed off at Les Paul, we quit being pals after that and I quit playing guitar because of that damn first electrified guitar and I traveled around for the next 7 years with Roy Rogers, Trigger, Dale Evans and an old dude they called Fuzzy, because we would get together, sing with his Buckaroos, and they never used no damn electrified guitars, but they did use six shooters whenever they opened up the oven to see if the biscuits were done, they'd fan 3 shots with a - crack-crack-crack, and if them biscuits smiled and the bullets bounced back, they was ready to eat, what a tasty snack. So we wrote a song called the "Biscuit Blues." Les Paul wound up with a partner named Moore Jack, and they tried our stunt with the oven door, they opened up the oven to see if the biscuits were done, and Moore fanned four shots from a 44; well the biscuits smiled and the bullets bounced back, two hit Les and two hit Jack. They was buried out back and the headstone reads- "Here Lies- Les and Moore, shot themselves four times with a 44, No Les no Moore." Its been 60 years since I quit playing guitar but with your help I will be the best again.

We both started playing when we got guitars for“Covid Christmas 2020” and learning to play thru KZread has been a bit overwhelming and confusing. So let me say Thank You for the great videos and Thanks a million for being a great instructor.
