Lesson 17 - Diatonic Harmony a la Mode
มุมมอง 3.2Kปีที่แล้ว
Why do we keep seeing the same chord combinations in different songs? What scales do we use to solo over chords in a progression?
Lesson 9 - Notation And Rhythm
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
Reading music is simple if you get it explained to you the right way. Scotty demystifies this important subject. Remember ... watch these 32 lessons in order to get maximum benefit.
Lesson 24 - Playin' The Blues
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Blues has many similarities to classic western music but also has some interesting and readily observable differences.
Lesson 8 - Caveman Music Theory
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
There are an infinite number of musical pitches. Where did our 12 note per octave come from? You'll find the first pitch relationships we ever discovered are still the most important today.
Lesson 28 - Chord Voicing
มุมมอง 1.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Every chord has one "spelling" but those notes can be played in any octave or any order. This means there are often many ways to play the same chord.
Lesson 13 - More About Intervals
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
Now that you understand intervals, you have to memorize them all 4 ways. THINK - READ - HEAR - SPEAK
Lesson 31 - Modulation and Substitution
มุมมอง 1Kปีที่แล้ว
A lot of very interesting music doesn't stay in just one defined key. This is call Modulation. Also we'll learn about various ways to embellish and modify chord progressions. This is called Substitution.
Lesson 12 - Intervals
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
Music doesn't come down to what notes you play so much as it comes down to the SPACING of the notes from one another. That makes INTERVALS just about the most important subject in all of music.
Lesson 29 - More About Chord Voicing
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Learn about 4 part harmony and voice leading.
Lesson 21 - Pentatonic Modes
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Like any scale, Pentatonic Scales have modes. They often function as simplified Diatonic Modes.
Lesson 6 - Still More About Chords
มุมมอง 11Kปีที่แล้ว
Here we learn how to play and name our 6 types of chords in all keys and finger forms. Remember ... watch the 32 lessons IN ORDER to get the maximum benefit.

มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว
Final course summary and final exam.
Lesson 23 - Modal Music
มุมมอง 1.7Kปีที่แล้ว

    I was introduced to this channel yesterday. Wow, this is absolutely what ive been searching for in the 4 years since i bought my first guitar! Completely stripped back to the absolute fundamentals of what music is. What he says makes complete sense. Im only on episode 2 and im hooked. Thank you for your wisdom. Talk about a moment of awakening! Boom.

    Loving the series and bought the book! I am confused about the Emaj7 section early on in the video. I can flatten the second lowest root to a maj 7 and maintain the maj 3 to create an Emaj7?

  • @alanjanda696
    @alanjanda696 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If you add diatonic to your pentatonic scales when it is desired . At minor pentatonic position #1 . Starting at any fret 1-12 and move out of those boxes using intervals you can move up and down the board. Now it’s about chord tone targeting ! Understand the circle of fifths is is huge! Start using backing tracks and remember if it’s A major F# minor is the same key so solo in f# minor pentatonic and see how that sounds. You notice most of the rock backing tracks are listed in minor.

    Hey scotty, I watched this series to see how much I knew. Turns out I knew a lot but there was still a lot that I didn’t know or perhaps that I just didn’t think about ie the guitar being tuned in 4ths to suit the chromatic scale to our 4 finger limitation. Overall, it’s been a thoroughly enjoyable watch and I wish I had this years ago when I started to learn all this stuff because I believe I would have gotten the hang of it a lot quicker. It was also good to revise this stuff as I have also started my own tutoring business. The thing that I’m at a struggle at in my own career is where to go after this. I suppose what I’m asking is what did you do once you had learned your scales, how to harmonise them in any key and be able to play by ear most diatonic music?

    • @absolutelyunderstandguitar60
      @absolutelyunderstandguitar60 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi McFaulio, Glad you enjoyed the course. Where to go from here? It's really about EAR TRAINING. Make sure you're focusing on that. Theory is only a stepping stone to getting the sounds in "your minds ear". Singing is the best form of ear training. Sing and say the numbers as you play your scales and arpeggios. Apps are OK but a good live coach can help you most. Voice teachers often make better ear training coaches than your average guitar teacher. A lot of it is simply experimentation. Backing tracks are great to work with. I bought a cheap little tape recorder when I was 12 and started making my own backing tracks. I would strum the chords to a Beatles song into the recorder and then play around with melodies. Nowadays we have tons of backing tracks on TH-cam.

  • @alanjanda696
    @alanjanda696 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks again! This is the way to learn guitar. I took lessons in about 1977 but didn’t stick to it. Messed around in high school in 83,84. Got serious a year and a half ago at age 57. I already knew how hard guitar was so I approached it like an athlete and practice and play two to three hours a day and now these classes are going to be great! Because you have to learn in a structured manner if you don’t want to get caught in THE RUT! I recommend once you get your chord Transitions going you can play to backing tracks on you tube through a quality Bluetooth speaker it makes it really fun after approximately a year in.

    I'm not done with the series, yet (I did buy the lesson material from Scotty) but I was very curious about what the comments were at the end. No, I didn't watch this last lesson yet - that would be skipping ahead. As a non-musician I appreciate the path to understanding guitar.

    Beggars the question, if using modes, is there any real point at learning the Pentatonics?

    • @absolutelyunderstandguitar60
      @absolutelyunderstandguitar60 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Andrew, Excellent question. I personally feel all the hype about pentatonic scales is overrated. Why restrict yourself to 5 notes when you could be using 7? And you'll find that the really clever players can use all 12 notes. That said, it is important to understand the pentatonic world as so many rock and blues riffs and solos do utilize pentatonic scales.

    Just got the 150 page pdf, it is well worth it. Many youtubers have attempted to teach guitar from zero to strong basic, but they leave a lot out and cannot explain things as well as Scotty. Sometimes it feels tedious and you want to move on, but really it is time well spent going through it in gory detail.

    There seems to be a minor error at 46:30 th-cam.com/video/HVhiXEo3F1w/w-d-xo.html "Here's an E major in the D form" - at that point we'd moved onto the C form, right?

    Funny how beat patterns were a selling point on old keyboards. Now you can boot up any daw and have thousands of drum patterns and even make your own or just look up a youtube video on any phone or computer. Thank you Scottie, this wisdom is timeless. Methods may change but the principles stay the same.

    It would've been nice if you showed the shapes in the guitar just to get an idea. I get that the piano keys make easier for teaching purposes but some of us learn by examples shown.

    • @Sawyer-mr8bf
      @Sawyer-mr8bf 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The handbook has the finger positions for guitar, but also you should be at the point where you can just create these chords on the spot by just looking at the fretboard and selecting the notes you want to construct the chord you want. The most common ways to play them are easily found online

    • @Sawyer-mr8bf
      @Sawyer-mr8bf 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s important to remember the entire idea of this series is to learn music, not so much learning to play the guitar. If you know the theory, playing it on the machine (guitar) is just repetition. It’s like understanding words, letters, and sentences without knowing how to actually do the action of writing. If you don’t know what to write or what words, sentences, etc are formed. You can have the best handwriting and it not really matter. Now if you know a huge amount of words and how to piece them together to form sentences which you also understand, the writing aspect is now looked at just the technique or in other words the machine that relays the info you had to study and retain.

    DNA is made up of 20 amino acids, and the aminos acids are made up of only four bases. From that perspective, stealing licks, chord progressions, and melodies isn't wrong. It seems like it is the only way to create new music. Love this guy.
