Hi Dave,

I've just finished the Rock Level 2 course and now learning Yellow Ledbetter using your lesson. Great song and really enjoying your lesson on it. Thank you. Really trying to nail down barre chords with my thumb over the neck. With short fingers its a little tough but I'm managing and with practice using this song getting better at it.

My question is more on the theory. The very first bar is a variation on E. If the E barre chord using the 5th string root is played on frets 7 and 9, how is it still an E if the first bar of the song is played on the 9th and 11th frets? Why isn't it considered an F#?

Thanks,

Paul
