comment Cadential Six Four Chord
Could you expand slightly on the last paragraph? I assume you are hinting that some of Bach's chorales have a modification of this progression.

comment Should barré chords have an acute accent on the E?
I don't think this should be closed. Formally trained musicians are expected to know and understand the relevant terminology and I think this sort of question is both germane and answerable here, even if it would also be appropriate on a language site. (I've cleaned up the comments a bit.)

comment Playing the hawaiian steel guitar.
Hi, welcome to the site. Unforunately we're very much about specific questions and not discussion (see the FAQ) so we expect posts to be about specific problems, rather than how to learn in general (which is very broad) or links to tutorials.

comment What are Accidental notes?
@Tim Don't confuse the symbol and the note. The natural sign is an accidental, but a note that is part of the key is not an accidental note regardless of whether it is prefixed with an accidental.

comment Does it help if you learn to play certain instruments both right-handed and left-handed?
If I switch my hands on guitar I'm completely and utterly useless. I'm normally alright with swapping on other tasks (at one point I could throw a baseball properly with my off hand/arm) but I think spending time on this would just be a waste.

comment Where/how can I get a song's backing track without a specific instrument so I can play for it?
Wheat, do you think you would be able to generalize this a bit? The question is already falling into too-localized shopping rec territory and I hope we can turn it into something more useful for others who need this sort of track.

comment When following a lesson should I make it perfect before going to the next lession
@Tanmoy Ah, I see. That's not the simplest of chord changes so if you feel the need to start with something easier and work up to it then that could certainly be a good idea.
