Hello, I'm trying to get better at understanding music (learning guitar/piano) - I can play chords and stuff but I don't "get" music itself
My question, while trying to learn today - was about something very "basic" and I feel very stupid for not getting it right
it's about the I V VI IV progression = C G Amin F
I tried to guess what it stood for when it was brought up and I got it wrong - why is the 6 Aminor instead of A major? (or just A)
When you go thru the C scale it's all white notes right? C-D-E-F-G-A-B -so I literally can't wrap my head around why it'd be Aminor instead of A major
ALSO - I think YT subtitles did me dirty and it's I V vi IV
ALSO ALSO when people post chord progressions, are they always relative to C?
If anyone has any good resources on this stuff that is explained clearly/not very frustrating that'd be very much appreciated. Thanks and sorry for being tilted
