Teaching must be structured and progressive. Or one teaches oneself. So what are you going to do?

Some jazz players consider the lower case thing old fashioned. They would typically write things differently.
ii7 V7 IM7 could be written as II-7 V7 Imaj7, and is more standard with US pros maybe?
None of this is hugely important right now. Don't even think about it, but keep in the back of your mind, if something like that pops up.

Good news: Me and two of my friends will start a band (They know how to play). One of them has played guitar for 2 years and the other one is gonna play bass and he is pretty good at it, he can also play drums but we don't have any drums so we will use a computer software with speakers for drums..

The shell m6 voicings is basically the same as diminished , because it doesn't have the fifth. An easy way to learn these is by doing the Mickey Baker m7 - m6 thing. So when you have extended Am chord, you can play 5X55XX
5X45XX
5X55XX
There are a other ways you could describe this kind of movement, but it's a shape which is good to know as well.

I guess from here on I Will learn songs, practice ear training, scales and chords. And later on I will start writing my own songs.

Writing music can be a good way to stretch your skills. I am forever writing music I find difficult to play! But I grow from learning to play it.Last edited by christianm77; 03-11-2019 at 06:31 PM.

This is like watching a lesson in real time, but through someone transcribing it. Brings a tear to my eye.

When I was learning theory, one of my light bulb moments came when I realized that learning the intervals on all six strings of the same fret could help me more quickly form chords and realize intervals in scales.
From 6th string to 1st:
1-4-b7-b3-5-1,
5-1-4-b7-9-5,
9-5-1-4-6-9,
etc.

So with root on 6th string described as 1, the 5th string is a 4th, the 4th string is a b7, and so on. E.g. at the 3rd fret, from 6th string to 1st the notes are G, C, F, Bb, D, G. Which = root, 4, b7, minor 3rd, 5, 1 (tonic).
Then repeat with root on the 5th string. This gives the intervals 5, 1 (root), 4, b7, 9, 5. And so on.
Useful fretboard knowledge.
