By the way, when I recommended learning chords, I meant how they are COMPRISED. What MAKES a major chord, a minor, etc. With ANY note as the root. In other words, basic theory.

Not that C, E, G makes up a C-major chord or whatever. But that it's root, 4 semitones up, then 3 semitones up from there, and THAT makes a major chord. Etc. I couldn't tell you right now what makes up a G# major chord without thinking about it and counting the semitones but I could reach down and play it.
