HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE!
You might encounter a chord progression that looks like i - VII, and if you parse it as such, you might be in for a bad time. It's an incredible pair of chords though, and I really things its worth exploring them to see where it takes us and what we can learn from them.
Ultimately,...

It took me a long time to realize what the 6 actually means when dealing with chords. Later on I realize that "6 chords" mean completely different things depending on who you ask!
