In this guitar lesson you’ll learn all about intervals and why they are so important. Intervals are the building blocks of melodic and harmonic music. We look at all the intervals of the 12 tone equal temperament system that leads to the diatonic system. Get familiar with second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and the octave and all the interesting variation of these intervals and extended intervals like the 9th, 11th and 13th.
By knowing your intervals you can make better melody lines and create beautiful riffs. Break free from a lifetime pattern playing and learn how to benefit from the knowledge of intervals.

@Pedro_MVS_Lima Год назад

Learning the shapes of intervals on the neck is one of the most useful and rewarding things for a guitarist to know, and this video makes it exceptionally clear. Thank you, Rob! I'll just add for convenience that for inverting an interval inside the octave, instead of memorizing all combinations (some people might actually prefer it though), you only need to subtract its type from 9. For instance, a sixth would invert to a third because 9-6=3. Or a fourth would invert to a fifth because 9-4=5. That solves the problem of type, and as for quality, major inverts to minor and vice-versa, augmented inverts to diminished and vice-versa and perfect just stays perfect. ⚠A word of caution⚠: The following several lines may be tiresome, but they also might be important for people with a frame of mind that likes to understand the consistency of these designations. Some might call this pedantic, but you've been warned. Proceed at your own risk, no refunds for lost time! Notice that Inverting an interval is simply moving the upper voice to the lower voice (or vice-versa, of course). In particular, the lower note changes. For example, a C-G interval inverts to G-C , so a "C fifth" inverts to a "G fourth", not a "C fourth". Bear this in mind in the next descriptions, as the intervals in the example are all being transposed to a C fundamental. Ok, so contrarily to the diagram shown later in the video, an augmented fourth inverts to a diminished fifth, not an augmented fourth. Both intervals do sound the same, i.e., they're enharmonic, as you can see in the table at 7:39, but technically a b5 (Gb in the example) would be the correct inversion of a #4 (F#). That might then beg the question of what's the inversion of the augmented fifth also depicted at the table, and that would be a diminished fourth, b4 (Fb), enharmonic with a major third (E). Also not mentioned in this table is the interval of first, or unison, which is the interval a note forms with itself, i.e. 0 semitones. A first does not however invert to an octave, the subtraction from 9 rule only applies to intervals "inside" the octave, i.e. from the second to the seventh. The other interval not mentioned that will actually appear in common chord formation is the diminished seventh (bb7, or Bbb in the example), which is a semitone shorter than the minor seventh. And yes, it would invert to an augmented second #2 (in a C context, that would be D#), enharmonic to the b3 (Eb), although a #2 is very uncommon, unlike its extended version, the augmented (or sharp) ninth #9. Formally, extended intervals are also perfect/major/minor/diminished/augmented as their "inside" octave counterparts. However, it is true that colloquially one might call them flat/natural/sharp in respect to their perfect or major versions. For instance, one may hear "flat five" referring to b5 (dim 5th), or "sharp ninth" for #9 (aug 9th).

@aestheticwolf7769 Год назад

For guitarists? You mean for every musician?

@Pedro_MVS_Lima Год назад

@@aestheticwolf7769 I was referring to the interval shapes on the neck of the guitar as related to the contents of the video. The notion of "interval shape" doesn't translate well to a keyboard or a clarinet, for instance. As for the intervals themselves, I agree nearly every musician could benefit from the knowledge, both in theory as in practice (ear training).

Thank you. Loved the notion of inverting the interval to swap between a major and minor tonality. Fabulous!

@Pedro_MVS_Lima Год назад

Hi Stuart. Inverting an interval does not swap tonality, but it may swap the interval quality. If the interval is major it becomes minor and vice-versa, for instance. Refer to the video for this, or check the comment I left in here previously.

It'll be faster for everyone to not rely on visual. We're making music, not painting. Just get one position from this video, and listen to the interval and figure out the rest. Again listen, there's "sound pattern" if that makes sense. You'll be familiar with it in no time.

@K42013 Год назад

I really like the pictures of the interval within the neck of the guitar. I would like to have something like that at disposal when I was young... What I always find hard, is when you have the exact interval you want in you head as a sound. But your lazy ass hand have the ultimate urge to go where your most played lick are. It's look like after 15/20 years of guitar , your playing habit will end up been your worst nightmare.

@gushutchinson8758 2 месяца назад

I am such a slow learner when it comes to music theory.. I get quickly behind.. I've got used to letting the videos play on despite being lost with the hope it'll sink in... It doesn't! It hasn't stopped me loving making up songs on the guitar and I play drumkit... The shipping forecast on BBC radio 4 is on a few times a day but I don't get it really at all.. Not if my life depended on it. I think a VERY patient guitar teacher is possibly my only hope. The music I love seems to be simpler throbbing rhythmic stuff like CAN... or frenetic heavy weird stuff like Beefheart.. But I like all sorts like WIRE, Aretha, Bassey, Howling wolf, Joan Armatrading, Lee scratch Perry and on and on... Understanding music theory like intervals, circle of 5ths etc must be a good move.. One day maybe?! I've been playing for nearly 60 bloody years though... The best way is to be in a creative original band with keen musicians with energy and drive.. I have been in several over the years... I want THAT more than to really understand music theory BUT both would be brilliant.. Thanks for this lesson -, although it hasn't sunk in at all -, I get the impression it has helped other(normal) students with less of a blockage.

@nicolasforfant484 Год назад

We levelled down theorywise with reference to other lessons (#diminished portal 😉), but great again, Rob! One question: This major 3rd instead of 4th between G and B generates some confusion and always has to be thought of when navigating the fretboard. Why not tune the guitar in fourth only? EADGCF. Perfect symmetry for pattern transposition and a larger choice for open string pitches... including the C. Whent it was not taken as a standard means that it must have a severe disadvantage, which one is it? I am seriously tempted to tune one guitar this way... Cheers.

@QJamTracks Год назад

Hi Nicolas. Thanks! About that tuning: hundreds of years ago guitarists came tot the conclusion that the standard tuning EADGBE was the best compromise for paying scales and playing chords, both in a comfortable way. If you would only play scales and licks, then the fourth tuning (EADGCF) would be easier to work with, because of the symmetry. It's interesting to try such a tuning in fourths and some use this tuning all the time...

@vizzo7 Год назад

that was a good video. I think that knowing the intervals at all times in every situation makes it useless to learn arpeggios, scales etc. and provides as you say the freedom on the instrument and playing outside of patterns and forms.because you can cosntruct always the notes you want to sound. unfortunately to learn and to practice them in good way it is difficult. how do you suggest to learn the intervals at all times in a not scholar way?

What’s the difference between augmented 4th and Diminished 5th?? Apologies for the lame question- I am a beginner and found this part rather confusing

@QJamTracks 8 месяцев назад

In C major for instance an augmented 4th is a F# (raised F) and a diminished 5th is a Gb (lowered G). Still, both notes are played on the same fret and string. In other words they sound the same, but have different names. This is for theoretical reasons). These two notes are called "enharmonic equal".

@QJamTracks 4 месяца назад

Hi Sean, I don't know exactly what you mean, but intervals could best be studied as a relative system for all diatonic scales (including the modes), avoiding to learn them over and over again for each key of mode. Moving to other (maybe non-diatonic) scale structures the interval sequence will change due to the structure of the scale. Is that what you mean? By the way: I'm Dutch ;)
