I just started playing guitar because I was always fascinated with music, but never had the time until now. In college (from my associates through my masters), I studied information technology and computer science. My brain likes math and algorithms (it just clicks for me) and you just taught me music theory like a graduate-level computer science professor. Clear, concise, and immediately applicable. I dreaded music theory because I had a preconception it was going to be a history lesson (my least favorite subject). Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos, incredible.

I must admit, I've never liked the term music 'theory'. To me it always sounded too scientific and not yet a musical 'law'. Things switched in my brain when I started thinking of it as music 'grammar'. Since music hits the same part of the brain as language, it just made sense. And like how 'their' and 'they're' sound similar, context is important, just like the difference between C# and Db. Same(ish) note but different usage. Another great video Chris!!

What helped me to remember the major scale formula was to think of it as the order of modes because numbers alone just wasn’t cutting it. Ok, we’re going to four.. What the hell is four? Oh, Lydian, that’s major. Now we’re going to three. Well, I don’t know what that means.. Oh, Phrygian, that’s minor. That alone helped me so much.

One thing that's kind of neat about the guitar is that it doesn't have a particular major scale "built in" to it. If you look at a piano, all the white keys are the C major scale (if you start at C, it is Whole step, W, Half, W, W, W, H). So if you want to play a different scale you have to start doing different combos of white and black keys. As Chris showed, if you know the pattern to play the major scale across the strings, you can just move the whole thing over on the neck to change the scale. The pattern for the fingers is exactly the same. The guitar isn't exactly symmetrical in both dimensions because of the B string thing, but you can still move anything (that isn't relying on open strings) up or down the neck sideways without issues. That's why barre chords work the way they do as well. Since none of the strings are open, you can just move it up or down the neck to change the chord.

With this info you have the basement complete, you can now incorporate any new musical information onto the fretboard directly, using the format of musical language. So that’s a pretty huge bucket of stuff. My suggestion is to really investigate what your musical preferences are, then analyze what makes those musical styles sound the way they do; the rhythms, the chords, the scales that are used. And then start looking for that information and guidance from a good teacher. Take some focused lessons for a couple of months and you should be on the road!

@curiousguitarist

Thanks Dave, so glad this one resonates! The sharp or flat question is a little tricky. But it's all defined by the key you're in. Think of this as a rule, each key MUST have each note name represented. So if you apply the major scale formula and tie in the consecutive notes names to each number, it will "force" you to name them correctly. Hope that helps!!

Hey Chris! I found your channel from Martys Music channel and I feel as though they way you teach resonates with my learning style more so thank you! I was wondering, if the first note you play on a chord is the root note, why do the chords have different names? For example, the first note played on a dmaj second and third fret is an a but the second is a d why is it called dmaj instead if a?
@curiousguitarist
Жыл бұрын
Great question. That is an "inversion". There are 3 notes in that chord, D F# and A. If you look for those notes to repeat on those same strings (GBE strings), the chord will invert to the Root as the lowest note. Then they occur again on those same strings with the F# on the bottom. That's a GREAT exercise to try and do!

I don't understand why you moved the bottom e string the other way than you did the 4th string e

Funny, I never used that Augmented A Chord. But I have used three different versions of the A Chord (as well as others) in Happy Christmas. So.... Sus chords and Augmented Chords are NOT the same or used interchangeably. Who uses Aug Chords? They sound like they have a boner note in there somewhere? LOL When I was 3 I got on my neighbors 2 wheeler and just rode it without falling. And it was too big for me. No skin lost in the game. Guitar? Not anywhere as lucky! But finally after all these years, A new teacher named Chris Lighthouse Sherland!. I'll put skin in the game! Blisters on my fingers! Your delivery helps me know, I will arrive (finally) at the right destination, taking the right roads, in a fair amount of time. Thank you!

Thanks again Chris for sharing you knowledge. I do have a question (not related to this specific vid) if you could please answer I would greatly appreciate it. I'm really trying to get ahold of the mode thing and have the following question. If I'm in the key of A maj. playing in the tonal center of the same and I want to play the Dorian mode over the A maj. Do I "target " the B note and play from B to B note to give the feel of Dorian or do I just play the A maj scale and target the G# note (#6th in Dorian) that makes Dorian, Dorian? This has got me a little confused. Thanks!

Yes indeed you are confused, but that is a natural state prior to being not confused :) If you want to "hear Dorian" from a tonal center you must play this scale from the root: R w 2 h 3 w 4 w 5 w 6 h 7 w R Dorian is a minor scale, and if you play this scale from A, while outlining the key of A major it will sound terrible. If you want to play a Dorian tonal center, the best chords to use to outline it (for the tonal center of A) would be as follows: A minor D major Then play that scale, starting from A, and you'll have a Dorian tonal center starting on A. I hope that does not confuse you even more. If it does, try this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rpV_26CNsap7apg

@@curiousguitaristThanks for the response Chris, sorry but I think I might not have explained myself the best getting the question across. I did watch your video on "Major Scales Modes 101" and fully understand the concept so let me try and pose the question again with more detail. If I'm playing in key of A maj and want to impose the Dorian (B Dorian) sound (playing diatonicaly/key of A maj at the 5th fret starting on the B note (7th fret) do I target the B note or the other notes flat 3rd and flat 7th to best impose the Dorian sound over the A maj? Or is this something you should not even do (playing a minor mode over a major tonality and vise versa? Thanks again!

@@Charles_S. ahhh I see. As long as the chords underneath are outlining an A major tonality, the notes of the Amajor scale will sound major, no matter what you target. If you want to outline the B Dorian sound, you’ll have to change the chords underneath to use B minor. Does that help? The other video that might help is “seeing modes as chords” Happy to help clear this up for you.

@@Charles_S. it’s so confusing! Think of each mode as a mood, having its own tonal signature. Then divide them into groups of Mai and minor, then investigate the half steps in each one with that perspective. That might be a good path to take to really get them. It’s harder to understand if you don’t hear them, and hearing them takes some time and effort.

ok from my limited knowledge of theory i was taught that b and e have no sharps so isn't 1st fret 1st string an f note same with third fret 4 string

Yup, that's it exactly. Anywhere you find a B, C is right next door. Anywhere you find an E, F is right next door. ALL of the other natural notes are separated by a whole step. There are some very limited cases where you have to bend that rule, but much easier to bend a rule you know, than to stumble on the exception to a rule you don't understand, and then soak in confusion and frustration for a while. Nice context Squeeze!
