so i understand how to figure out the chords for so-called 'pop' songs but when it comes to jazzy/whatever songs where there's like 1 chord a syllable and the chords get really complicated i have trouble figuring out what's what, have no idea what key everything is in, etc. how do i approach this?
i'm not sure what kind of songs you're talking about, but if it's too overwhelming then you might have to stay with something a little bit simpler until you have a little more experience. but if you are feeling bold you can just go in and start trying to make sense of it. if it makes less than .01% sense at the moment, then you should stay with simpler things for a little while longer. but if you're getting at least 25% sense out of it, then it's probably worth the endeavor. and then come back to it again later when you have more experience and it will probably be even clearer then
