Three Reasons You Should Learn Music Theory
I don’t think this question will ever go away. Especially for guitar players. We will always rationalize by stating great guitar players that didn’t understand theory.
Based on my experience, I go through three reasons why you should learn music theory. It’s worth it.
1. Music Theory will help you communicate
2. It’s probably not what you think. (You don’t have to sight read music)
3. Theory will help you find your voice

How I Use Barre Chords On Guitar. Even When People Say Not To.
มุมมอง 184 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
It's really common for some guitar players to tell you barre chords are wrong. They might say they make you look a certain way, or that you don't need those big chords. I want to offer an alternative approach. They are fine. And in many circumstances, preferred. They can have a level of efficiency in sounds that aren't as easily accessible if bound to a simple triad. Triads definitely have thei...

Getting Started with Chord Numbers in a Major Key
มุมมอง 10616 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I'm a huge fan of making my own charts for all songs. That's some version of the Nashville Number System, but not entirely strict to the way some people do it. But in order to do that, you have to understand how the numbers for chords in a key work. If that's new to you, hopefully this will help point you in the right direction. 0:00 Intro Playing 1:13 Intro to Chord Numbers 3:37 Demonstrate Ch...

Pentatonic Scale: How Do You Know You Really Know the It?

A smallish dive into how I approached, and still approach, the notes of the pentatonic scale. And by some failure, expose the fact that knowing every pentatonic position is less important than understanding the intervals.

Sounds nice & clean to me! Nice guitar too! Could I ask for the make / model? I see "revere" on the neck, so, maybe a Reverend? What's the porpoise of that hat? ... sorry... had to
Hahaha I wear a Dolphins hat 90% of the time. And I have for many years. I’ve never heard that joke. Well done! Yep! It’s a Reverend. The best mid-level guitars made, in my opinion. Jetstream 390 reverendguitars.com/guitars/jetstream-390/
@@scottradcliffguitar Thank you! Yes, they are unique and so many models. I've only tried one so far. I've watched plenty of Don Shula games. Those were the days, my friend.
@@stevonhSpeaking my language. I miss winning Dolphins football.
Nice tone, and feeling. Greetings from Germany. 💙💙💙
It's a dead art today but in the 70s people used the vol controls on the guitar and their " touch' in the right hand for all their dynamics.... And to get clean tones . A lot of Jimmy Pages Magic for instance is in his right ( picking)hand....
Yea! I wish I was a little better at using volume and tone controls. I do use them. But not nearly as much as I should.
I couldn't gig using IEM's..I've always used loud floor monitors and loud backline...
It took me forever to get used to IEMs. Still prefer a loud stage. But I've learn to adjust and find something that works. It still kinda sucks compared to a loud amp behind me.
I have had the same pair of KZs for at least 4 years. I will use Walmart specials in a pinch and be fine, never was tempted to spend $1500 as ultimately you are at the mercy or the person running the board
1000% Ultimately the board decides. Silent stages are a terrible idea. - But those KZs sound surprisingly good when the board is sending someone usable.
very good, keep going
Thanks! I appreciate that
Awesome work. Sounds amazing
Thanks Mark!
Sounds good! Keep it up!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Pretty and melodic
Thanks!
Thanks!
Lovely tone & melody ❤
This is the sound I've tried to find. Excellent, sir! Please, though, provide tabs for those of us not so talented. Great work!
I appreciate that. I’ve never made tabs before. I imagine there is software for that, but I don’t know how to use it.
Sounds great! It has a very nice feeling to it.
Thanks! I appreciate that
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
cool!
Sick tune 🤘
Nice! Needs to be 7 minutes long
@@ford-oz3vs Thanks!
Respect for hanging it out there Scott. I'm sort of doing the same things you are, in my learning, songwriting, music theory journey. That Dorian approach with the 6, played off the second. Cool. I'm going to work that in. I saw a YT lesson (title: Minor 6th Arpeggio - the Most Important Arpeggio to learn/play on the guitar) with Tracy Kim and he started the 4 note arpeggio on the 5'th. Add in the second C#, to make it pentatonic, for even more fun. It's the same notes, different sound. I like the sound without the 7'th. Start on the F# on 9'th fret and play the notes on 5'th and 4'th strings. Very musical, and jazzy to play. Been having a gas mapping it onto different positions. Like the one under the hand at the B 7'th fret. Get 2-1/2 octaves starting on B 6'th string, and you get a cool slide on the 3'rd string. Liked and subscribed. Congrat's you pre-Grand Dad.
Thanks! Real Grand Dad now! -- Thanks for mentioning that video. I'm going to check that out.
Would counting it like triplet feel also work? Seems like it would.
Yep. It is two set of triplets. It’s really 2/4 with two sets of triplets for each quarter note
I like that u are not using standard scale patterns but actually formulating a melodic structure....cheers
hey scott, good stuff, I gotta get back to playing/recording again....how long have u been playing??cheers
Thanks! About 20 years. Big gap when I didn’t touch a guitar for 10 years or so while raising kids, and got back into once my son was old enough to play.
@@scottradcliffguitar same situation for me didnt touch a guitar for about 12 yrs....slowly getting back to it ....cheers
Good luck to you. I know the second time around I learned way more and am having even more fun than the first time.
I love this. It's definitely a risk to over-prepare. Great insight!
this is the typa guitar that makes me happy someone invented instruments
This type of content makes me super happy that there is an algorithm. Sounds better than the guitarist at Hardrock Cafe at foxwoods casino in CT 2 weeks ago. Nice work
Thanks man! Such a nice comment. Means a lot.

Quartal?
This is great!!! I just started learning guitar a few months ago & I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so this was super motivational!
That’s awesome! I wouldn’t have been brave enough to do that when I started
@@scottradcliffguitar Haha I may live to regret it in the future hahah... no, it's a great journey! And thanks for the great videos you put out.. they're appreciated!
Beautiful guitar man!
subbed man
Using the A minor box as an example. If in minor key, the first note on 6th string is the root (you'd play this when in A minor), if in major key the second note is the root (you'd play this when in C major). Same scales, just different starting points and relationships to the notes in the chords. If playing over A7 you are really playing in A mixolydian which is where mixing major and minor comes in. You have that A minor box mixed with notes from A major (slide the A minor box down 3 frets so the 2nd note is the A). If you superimposed A mixolydian, you'd see a lot of the notes overlapping the A minor and A major pentatonics. If you're playing an A7 chord or arpeggio, you see the notes line up with A mixolydian. I think the easiest thing is to just play notes from the chords. Start there making melodies. Then, add notes from a scale as "passing tones" and land on a chord tone.
Nice phrasing and feel Scott
Thanks for posting this Scott. You’d be surprised how many of my musician friends do not know their intervals. They know the scale but don’t understand how chords are derived from the intervals in the scale.
Yea, I know a few also that could really connect some dots by spending just a little but of time studying some core concepts. - I want to talk about diatonic chords next
“how to learn music theory” quite literally the same phrase I have pondered for weeks on end for I do not know a thing about it. hope to stick around & learn something
That's great! Happy to help. I have about 3-4 more planned, and then see where it goes.

Well, somebody has been working on their touch. That was beautiful and heartfelt Scott. Love the triple P90 setup.
Thanks man!
Sweet tone and playing Scott
Thanks Biff! I think I spotted you in the Guthrie live stream last night 🎉
@@scottradcliffguitar yeah, I chimed in with a post last night. Guthrie and his band were sounding great. Looking forward to the record he just did with Uncle Larry.
Always good to see you posting your vids. Your love of the instrument definitely comes across.
Thanks Biff! Sometime I second guess myself, but share it anyway. 😏
@@scottradcliffguitar I’ve been playing since I was 13, I’m 61 now. I went through a period in the late 80s and the early 90s where I hardly touched my guitars but that’s all behind me. I play daily, it’s a religion to me. If a day goes by where I can’t play, the next day I’m on it. Then when Tom Bukovac started his youtube channel it made me feel great knowing there are other people that live the guitar playing lifestyle. It’s who we are Scott, it’s what we do and we MUST do it. Take care buddy.
absolute fire
Thanks 👊🏻
Very calming 😅
Dang Scott, that was beautiful. I like the way you gave your playing plenty of space. It didn’t sound depressing to me at all. It was a hopeful sound to me. Great job.
Thanks Biff!
Amazing!
That was beautifull man, keep it up!
Thanks! I really appreciate that. Love the name and profile pic!

Thank you very much! I appreciate that.
Your hat caught my attention. Go fins.
Yea!! Super optimistic right now. 🐬
Reminds me of Buckethead
That’s quite a complement. Thanks! 👊🏻
So much touching to me. Simple and perfect. Can I know the name of the melody?
Thanks! There is no name. I just made it up as I played over the progression.
That sounds beautiful. Can you tell what the exact effect and settings mg is. I need to get this sound added to my playing
