Sir you are so amazing in your playing and of course teaching. Im now spending 2 hrs a day inorder to internalize your teaching. Im for ever greatful for Fret Jam..
I didn't learn this concept from this video, came upon it referencing something else, but this "bigger picture" (that's a good way of putting it) really has been the most helpful thing I have ever learned in regards to guitar or any instrument; when you say you only realize how helpful when you apply it to your playing, there is a lot of truth to that also. Your content is excellent, thank you.
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Rozardner Inspiring Chord Reality (google it)? It is a great one off product for how to play guitar scales minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate after many years got great success with it.
your lessons are the most informative and easiest lessons to digest, Im an intermediate player and watched a lot of lessons but your videos made me understand things I didnt understand when I was starting!
Dude that is a serious Am major run .. You have taught thise so well and it it is the building block of all great artists ..who take scales and create melody rather than hemming together scales .. I now have to watch all your vids . TY
You're welcome. Glad it helped you. The theory stuff is definitely beneficial to learn. I personally spend too much time on the theory and neglect the physical side of guitar! Getting the right balance of theory and application is the key. Goes without saying really.
I know this is a pretty broad answer, but you can apply this technique however you wish, to any style of music. I think a lot of it will be down to the scale you use. For example, the major scale would be more typical of pop music, whereas the phrygian dominant scale might lend more to "alternative" styles. You can use powerchords in this way. Since they only contain the root and 5th, they're pretty neutral so all the colour will come from the scale you choose.
Your videos are magnificent. So helpful during this "current obsessive phase" I'm in with guitar. Am I on the right track? One=Minor scale over minor chord progressions. Two=Minor scale over a major progression in its relative major key. Three=Minor scale over a Major dominant 7 progression of the same letter.
i am looking for this chord voicings grouped on the neck within the order of the harmonization of the scales like first in 0-3 then 3-7 and on, can you guide me if such material exists?
What is the difference between playing different inversion of a major triad across the scale than playing one triad or chord only but just up and down the fretboard? I think the former, you're just more restricted because that chord doesn't fit the scale but if you move the chord half step up, it will, whereas the latter you're free from the rules of the scales and such, you don't have worry about the chord being out of the scale
Exellent lesson Just what I`ve been looking for. First time I`ve seen the relationship between chords and scales in this way...Thankyou. PS I subscibed.....
Sorry, this lesson is not for beginners. Bookmark it and come back to it when you've learned a few scales and basic chord construction, because those are the two elements it brings together.
so basically i dont need to put major 1 3 5 interval in a scale?, if i want to create a chord out of any notes from the scale thats okay because those notes are STILL from the scales, i couldve put 6 5 3 notes interval and it would still sounds good?, but what if i wanted to do some chords progression? like simple 1 4 6 5 chords progression, can i put some weird chord from interval like 3 5 b7?. music theory is really mind boogling for me lmao
very useful lesson; is it really important applied this knowledge to create alternative music or it is not really necessary?.. and what about power chords; does it works the same way?.. I mean is it the same concept by mixing power chords and scales?... hope an answer please, regards!
Balde Aguirre very interesting question, learning music theory or atleast being taught by someone else how to play an instrument especially the guitar is not necessary for creating a new, entire genre of music. If you are a jazz guitarist and you're seeking to create a new genre, chances are you'll end up creating a genre with strong jazz elements, like with classical and jazz or with rock and metal. On the other hand, if you have no knowledge of any genre and you're just learning the instrument on your own, then not only you'll end up creating a unique genre, but also techniques that would be needed for that genre, example of a genre with a background like this is Folk music. But creating your own genre with no musical knowledge is going to be very hard than say, creating a genre with strong jazz or rock elements, especially with the guitar which is already a widely explored instrument, there's only so much you can do with it
It's interesting that many musicians are Ne dominant personalities, yet it seems music theory for musicians is not tailored to their natural way of learning concepts; which happens to be top down, not starting at the ground and working up. Based on Meyers Briggs typing.
+TheHiob2000 No, but try to remember the shapes of the scales. As many as possible. This will help you to spot the relative position of notes in the fret board
