I know this is a super noob question, but I can't find it on the interwebs.
I read somewhere it is good habit, while practicing, to mentally register what chord I am playing at the moment. So when I'm playing C, I say in my head "C Major", when I'm playing Am, I say in my head "A Minor" and so on. I think a little b means "flat", so Bb is pronounced "B Flat", and B# would be pronounced "B Sharp". But I really don't know how to pronounce some of these, for example: Dm7, C(with a degree symbol next to it, like a temperature), Bbm6, etc.
I want to be able to say in my head, while I'm playing a Bbm6, "Right now I'm playing a <whatever this is called>". Does that make sense? Any help? Thanks!
