They Don't Teach This In Music School

I think 1. Is the most important for the following reason: as you said, the notes dont sit on guitar the way they would on a piano. This leads me to my current problem: I am learning music theory and while chords are making more and more sense, it doesnt seem (with perhaps 1 or 2 exceptions) that anyone is really getting into how finger placement works. Yes, there are plenty of videos on where to put your fingers for certain chords, etc, but very few on why the placements work as they do. I came across 1 video that really got close to scratching this issue, explaining how the notes you hold double up on the root or other notes etc, but with the way notes sit on the fretboard even that has issues sometimes. All that leads me to what I think holds a lot of people back: lile you say later for another tip, no one wants to memorize in the conventional sense, all those finger patterns on tabs and what not; but a way to make a finger pattern that sits well with music theory. To this end I'm currently looking into different tuning.

Really appreciate your comment. I think you would find some clarity in the caged system. It helps simplify a bit. I’ll post a video for you. One of my teachers tuned to all 4ths tuning. The problem is that you end up losing a lot of the classic sounds that the guitar is known for. I would tough it out and work on both theory and guitar separately and then put them together.

These are very definitely taught in music schools. Also, key and scale are not the same thing. And I disagree about never reading music while learning theory. Reading it just makes it all click together
