This is the perfect example of a lesson that explains something simply, but is as complex as you want it to be, and is able to give a wide variety of ways to explore, practice, and apply in a short TH-cam length video. I’ve watched probably 50 videos on thirds. This should serve as a lesson to youtube teachers as much as guitarists. Well done sir...massively appreciated.
I keep coming back to this lesson, I've just about know how and when I can use them. My friend's, it takes work, but its WORTH IT. Thank you Professor Pete. " Seriously "
Beautiful stuff Pete.I've Been trying to incorporate harmonies in my solos, so this was very encouraging.it adds so much to any melody.Your a very good player and teacher, thanks for posting Pete!
Good lesson mate. I have messed around with rolling 6ths before, but never really knew what I was doing. I very much appreciate teachers who make things crystal and not overwhelming on the theory front.
Wow! Excellent explanations and visuals. And it was truly inspirational how you galvanized the theory you shared with that smoking solo work at the end. What a gifted artist; thank you for sharing.
Awesome video on thirds and sixths! I appreciate the demonstrations on ideas on how to use them. I learned a lot. Can't wait to get home and try it out.
It took me a minute to see that you were rotating the fretboard view back and forth. A bit confusing but that is why the pause and rewind feature is so useful. I like your approach to the use of the fretboard. Thanks
I will say the material was explained well and I can go up and down the board with thirds. That said there is a mental block with sixths. Just invert (meaning opposite of thirds) it right? Trying to play the C Major scale with sixths, 5th string root third fret and it is not clicking like it needs to. Old dog here sometimes the tricks take a bit.
I've been playing the guitar for over 20 years and only sometimes studying it.😉 But lately it's been time expand my repertoire. It's amazing the next steps that you can take when you take the time to learn some things. Your video is really useful! Beautiful sounds and pretty simple, movable patterns to access them. Over the next couple weeks it will be your lesson that guides my practice. Thank you!
Thank you for this video Pete! I can say I've learned something new today and your improv at the end was great to put everything together. I'll definitely check out your other videos now
interesting. i just wish that you made you camera shots on your fingers closer and clearer so the i could see the actual fingering. the box that appears in the left hand does match what your fingering on the neck is ( at least as far as i can see). but if you close up on the fingers it would help. thank you for making the video. everything helps. i hear the beginning of cat stevens' peace train starting at 5:35. interesting to know how that works. thanks again.
He is the best, and knows music theory and always goes straight to the lesson. He is giving away two years of lessons. Dumping my drums, I have always wanted to be a solid guitarist.
Amazing lesson. Thanks a lot! I didnt check it but I can hear Browneyed girl played with this thirds technique. Subscribed. The improvisation that starts at 10:30 is beautiful!
Thanks tubal1 and Ric Crouch. Yes, you can spot these techniques in many, many hit records, which proves how important it is for us to know them and to be able to apply them. Thanks for watching! :)
tubal1 Here's another famous use of the thirds that I didn't really notice until after this video. Last week I was working on the intro to Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven." When I tried it again this week (after watching this video this weekend), I realized--"Hey!!! That's just a set of thirds!" :)
Good lesson Pete, I had no idea the lower note from the third turned upside down became a 6th? A lot of teachers don't give an explanation as to what could go wrong? No wonder I was getting lost in the music theory of it all!!
Hi John. TH-cam can do that for you. If you click the "Settings" control, which looks like a cog wheel near the bottom right corner of the video window, a menu appears. Set the Speed option to 0.5, and then play. It's easy when you know how! Thanks for watching.
Hi Pete - John again. I understand your video a bit more now BUT one last thing. "Sweet Little Sixteen" intro has a note on 1st string fret 11 ie Eflat which is not in the scales of A or Am? Don't understand this at the moment could you please enlighten me - Many thanks
Hi +John Austin. If it's this version you're talking about th-cam.com/video/e65ofKU6X6A/w-d-xo.html it's in the key of C major, and the chord during the intro is a G7. Chuck goes from G + B down to D + F, which if you put them together are the notes of the G7 chord. Some of the thirds in between are deliberately dissonant passing chords, which create momentary harmonic tension, which gets resolved by the strong statement of G7 followed by C. The importrant thing is, it sounds great!
I have to wonder- In the second exercise with the A E F#m and D, Why didn't you play the same intervals over the D as you did with the E? Is it because you were keeping to the G scale?
Thanks for watching Marty. I did play the same intervals over the D and E chords. You may be confusing these patterns with the different intervals I used over the F#m chord. There is no G scale here by the way, this exercise is in the key of A. I hope that helps.
@@PeteFGuitar Sorry, I guess I meant to say key of A. But what I'm seeing, is for the E chord, the third interval is 2nd and 4th string over the same fret (7th fret), and for the D chord, the third interval is 2nd and forth string One fret apart ( 5th + 6th fret). I really appreciate videos like this. I'm just trying to understand- Why things work the way they do. Is it just a matter of preference? Because if I play the third interval of that D pattern with the second and fourth strings on the 5th fret, it still sound's right. Thanks for your reply by the way.
So I figured out the A intervals on all the strings, and I see that the fifth and six fret on the 2nd and 4th string is the particular interval for that key. Thanks for making me think. Sometimes we can answer our own questions just by using fret board logic.
Marty Nellessen I think you need to watch again, from 8 minutes onwards. Listen to what I’m saying, and also look at the tab at the top right of the screen. The third interval for both D and E are at the same fret, in fact the E intervals are the same as D, but consistently two frets higher.
Good question. To understand this, you need to first understand the concept of relative minors. All 12 major scales have a relative natural minor scale, that consists of exactly the same notes. Go to the sixth note of the major scale, and that is the root note of the relative minor. For example, C major's relative is A minor. Because the notes are the same, so are the chords. Also, because these thirds and sixths are derived from the triad (three-note) chords, then the thrid and sixth patterns for C major, will also work with A minor. I hope that helps.
Gracias +Pedro Karandeniya. I played a very enjoyable show in Gijón recently with Sister Cookie, and we're planning to return to Spain in December. Thanks for watching!
Hi Bryan Reed, yes, you can do a lot with thirds and sixths in the blues. Remember that blues chords are usually dominant sevenths, so for each chord you can play a minor third interval between the fifth and the minor seventh. For example in the key of E, over the E7 chord, hold down the 2nd string at the 12th fret, and the 1st string at the 10th fret. There are several other thirds that also work. You could always book a Skype lesson with me. Details are on my website www.pfmusic.co.
could I do the same shapes of thirds for the other chords but further up the neck ? I see jhonny winter doing these minor thirds a lot same with SRV and looked like they do them always from the first minor pentatonic shape usually. I am just trying to figure these out lol
Good question. Major scales contain both major and minor intervals, because the gaps between the notes are not equal. You've probably heard of the major scale formula: tone tone semitone, tone tone tone semitone. So some of the notes are two step apart, while some are one step apart. So when we move up the scale in thirds, sometimes the two notes are four semitones apart, like C and E (a major third), while others are only three semitones apart like D and F (a minor third). If we altered the scale to make it all major thirds, then we would have to use notes that are outside of the C major scale, like F#. I hope that helps. Watch this video also... th-cam.com/video/bMIuDr3gME4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah Pete, I should like to add my thanks to you for setting it all out so clearly. Can the same thing be done for major and minor fourths? (I can't get my head round what their mirror images are)...finding an answer to this will prove instructive...
Pete, this is a great lesson! You opened my eyes (finally) to using sixths and thirds. One question: has anyone ever tabbed your final improve? It's hard to decipher it--and it would be a great help. Thanks!!!
Thanks Erik, I'm pleased that it's helped you. I've no idea if anyone has tabbed my improvisation. Have you tried slowing the video playback down using the settings/speed control?
I tried but I really learn best by working through the tab. Do you have someone who might want to make some extra money writing the tab? It doesn't have to be perfect, just pretty close to those great riffs! Thanks!
It’s nothing unusual or special. For thirds, just hit both of the adjacent strings with your pick. For sixths, use your pick for the lower string and whichever of your fingers feels most comfortable for the upper string.
Hi I have "problem" :)when I started to learn music ,I focus on chords and scales and created nasty habit in this way - habit of mindless playing scales instead of music. How to get rid of it? Besides there is something more No one taught me how to compose in different music generes I would like to know how to arrange accompaniment which is based on a simple C major chord,once will be flamenco then the country, funk,bossa etc etc The same chord, harmony is the same, the same notes but different genres - how to do it for jumping between different styles?
Yes, +John Austin. Sometimes it's those notes outside of the key that make all of the difference, and resolving harmonic tension (or not!) is one of the cornerstones of good music.
You went from 3rds in Major or Minor to positions and note placement, leaving out whether the new note placements were Majors or Minor 3rds. Are you saying intervals in scales are all; Major Minor Minor (1 Major 3rd, 2 Minor 3rds, ect) in consecutive Intervals after 2minor 3rds a major 3rd is the next position as a rule? Then you went to rules of not Major or minor 3rds , but rules broken of C scale as compares to F scale, and left out whether positioning and intervals were the same to using a sharp or flat in a 3rd note, in the F scale, which is a given if you are playing in F isn't it (Bb)? Are those intervals in F 3rds still Major-Minor-Minor-Major-Minor-Minor?
Yes, major-minor-minor, which is why when playing over the F chord the second third contains a Bb, which is outside of the key of C major. If you need a justification, just accept that the key temporarily changes to F while the F chord is being played.
ahh so pentatonik gets rid of the differentiating thirds which is why you dont have to change anything during chord progressions when using pentatonik, right?
Yes, the pentatonic major scale doesn't contain the perfect fourth or major seventh, so you are less likely to play notes that sound unresolved against the chords when you use it.
This is the perfect example of a lesson that explains something simply, but is as complex as you want it to be, and is able to give a wide variety of ways to explore, practice, and apply in a short TH-cam length video. I’ve watched probably 50 videos on thirds. This should serve as a lesson to youtube teachers as much as guitarists. Well done sir...massively appreciated.

Awesome video on thirds and sixths! I appreciate the demonstrations on ideas on how to use them. I learned a lot. Can't wait to get home and try it out.
Thanks Andrew!
Excellent information Pete. I was wondering about all the double stops Steve Cropper et Al used. Thanks mate
Thanks Maxwell.
Great lesson. Your explanation really shed a lot of light on my approach to guitar!
Thanks Dan!
you are a good teacher. I had no idea about thirds but this is very useful. very clear and melodic. Thanks, Pete
Thank you.
Thanks Pete! Very nicely done...look forward to future lessons...

Wow!!!!!....I love this tutorial ❤, wel explained with exercises. Thank you so much for giving me another knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
It took me a minute to see that you were rotating the fretboard view back and forth. A bit confusing but that is why the pause and rewind feature is so useful. I like your approach to the use of the fretboard. Thanks
Thanks for the lesson ,requesting also tutorial on 4ths,5ths,8ths(octaves)and 10nths , thanks once more and a'm looking forward for the lessons
Thanks for watching. I am available for private online lessons.
Cheers for the lesson, really cleared a few things up :) Also great playing, your improve at the end was fantastic to watch :)
Thank you.... one of the easiest lesson's to understand... thank you thank you.... it filled in a lots of gaps for me.!!!!!
Splendid! I'm so pleased that my video helped you. Thanks Lyn.
Excellent! Really nice and great explanation and playing. Thank you!!
That's kind of you, thanks!
Great lesson I've been struggling with thirds and sixths but this shines some light. Thanks
Thanks +David Doyle.
Very nice lesson Pete! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I will say the material was explained well and I can go up and down the board with thirds. That said there is a mental block with sixths. Just invert (meaning opposite of thirds) it right? Trying to play the C Major scale with sixths, 5th string root third fret and it is not clicking like it needs to. Old dog here sometimes the tricks take a bit.
Yes, sixths are simply "upside-down" thirds. For example C and a higher E, becomes the same E with a higher C, on octave above the original C.
Cheers...thx again!

Great job pete! keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do.
On Sixths, how do you play without playing the intermediate string ? You play with two fingers at the same time ?
Hybrid picking - Use the pick on the lower-pitched string, and the middle finger of the picking hand on the higher-pitched string.
Hi Pete. Could you show us that solo using 3rd"s & 6"s in slow mo! Got no idea how to stitch them in.Great work by the way. Ta, John

Hi Pete,
I wonder if there is a similar thirds and sixths lesson/example/orientation for playing blues guitar. Any pointers?
Thanks 😊
Hi Bryan Reed, yes, you can do a lot with thirds and sixths in the blues. Remember that blues chords are usually dominant sevenths, so for each chord you can play a minor third interval between the fifth and the minor seventh. For example in the key of E, over the E7 chord, hold down the 2nd string at the 12th fret, and the 1st string at the 10th fret. There are several other thirds that also work.

could I do the same shapes of thirds for the other chords but further up the neck ? I see jhonny winter doing these minor thirds a lot same with SRV and looked like they do them always from the first minor pentatonic shape usually. I am just trying to figure these out lol
Yes +sinister steve, that's exactly right. Move the patterns up the neck to match with the chord changes. Thanks for watching.
+Pete Farrugia Guitar Teacher great thanks for clearing that up.
Great lesson!
Thanks!
Why there are both major and minor thirds when you played the major C in 3rds ? Shouldn't all be major 3rds ? Did you use bogh just to sound better ?
Good question. Major scales contain both major and minor intervals, because the gaps between the notes are not equal. You've probably heard of the major scale formula: tone tone semitone, tone tone tone semitone. So some of the notes are two step apart, while some are one step apart. So when we move up the scale in thirds, sometimes the two notes are four semitones apart, like C and E (a major third), while others are only three semitones apart like D and F (a minor third). If we altered the scale to make it all major thirds, then we would have to use notes that are outside of the C major scale, like F#. I hope that helps.

When playing the 6th, root note is on the highest string?
Yes, that is correct.

Thanks Raph.
Just the thing I was looking for to add some sauce to my fingerpicking. Thanks.
Thanks Chris.

Thanks Bart.
many thanks for the effort .. but I would like to know how you strum .. unfortunately not shown in the video
It’s nothing unusual or special. For thirds, just hit both of the adjacent strings with your pick. For sixths, use your pick for the lower string and whichever of your fingers feels most comfortable for the upper string.
Pete Farrugia Guitar Teacher thanks, this makes sense
Hi
I have "problem" :)when I started to learn music ,I focus on chords and scales
and created nasty habit in this way - habit of mindless playing scales instead of music.
How to get rid of it?
Besides there is something more
No one taught me how to compose in different music generes
I would like to know how to arrange accompaniment which is based on
a simple C major chord,once will be flamenco then the country, funk,bossa etc etc
The same chord, harmony is the same, the same notes
but different genres - how to do it for jumping between different styles?
Hi +Opiekun Dps. Daily practice, and lessons from a qualified professional teacher. Thanks for watching.
Is this a 'dissonant' third for effect but not in the scale of A?
Yes, +John Austin. Sometimes it's those notes outside of the key that make all of the difference, and resolving harmonic tension (or not!) is one of the cornerstones of good music.
Very useful indeed and thanks for posting. Very cool...
Thanks Simon!
You went from 3rds in Major or Minor to positions and note placement, leaving out whether the new note placements were Majors or Minor 3rds. Are you saying intervals in scales are all; Major Minor Minor (1 Major 3rd, 2 Minor 3rds, ect) in consecutive Intervals after 2minor 3rds a major 3rd is the next position as a rule? Then you went to rules of not Major or minor 3rds , but rules broken of C scale as compares to F scale, and left out whether positioning and intervals were the same to using a sharp or flat in a 3rd note, in the F scale, which is a given if you are playing in F isn't it (Bb)? Are those intervals in F 3rds still Major-Minor-Minor-Major-Minor-Minor?
Yes, major-minor-minor, which is why when playing over the F chord the second third contains a Bb, which is outside of the key of C major. If you need a justification, just accept that the key temporarily changes to F while the F chord is being played.
Great lesson love it, a whole new world just opened up for me thank you

ahh so pentatonik gets rid of the differentiating thirds which is why you dont have to change anything during chord progressions when using pentatonik, right?
