same note, just how he chose to play it
Does anyone know what interval relationships are?
Thanks great lesson, I always learn something from your lessons.
Thank freakin god I found you! I have been trying to find this crap out for like litterally 2 years (self-taught enthusiast) but I never found anyone that broke everything down so it never made sense to me. THANK YOU@!!
Subbed, liked and in a playlist.
you said your 3rd from the root which in your diagram your 3rd was a c note. you played that c on the 3rd fret of the a string. is there any reason you didnt play it on the 6th fret of the E string? or is it just simply how u chose to arrange it
His guitar looks like an alien
I was thinking the same thing haha. I started on a normal guitar and then changed to floyd rose locking tremelo and still just figured it out and did it myself. Fuck paying somebody on top of buying the strings when it takes less than 30 mins to do it yourself
C-C unison
C-C# minor 2nd
C-D Major 2nd
C-Eb minor 3rd
C-E major 3rd
C-F perfect 4th
C-F# diminished 5th
C-G perfect 5th
C-G# minor 6th
C-A major 6th
C-Bb minor 7th
C-B Major 7th
C-C Octave
this is kinda sad. all u have to do is buy the strings u need. and tune ur own fucking guitar! and maybe while ur on here go look up “how to change strings”
thank you so much for this video.. now i fully understand what this theory’s all about
This is great!
oh lol by the way there is an H note on guitar, you take your string and use your pickup as a fret, known fact amongst few ;)
you had my attention at “you dont need theory to play”. my old music teacher told me guitar players that dont know theory arent real players. I think he’s a tool, and your the man.
hey element try to bring up relevant points maybe he’ll hire you to do his strings as hes probably gots lots of money, not everyone is broke like you
Good point been wondering why everyone talks about theory so much hey if your dedicated you do not need it glad you said that
this shit made learning what octaves and everything are so fucking easy, i watched so many videos on this shit and everyone is retarded, i got a little confused with that diagram but i wrote it down and it took me a minute to get it but once i did it was easy. also if anyoe is still confused on what an octave is use your tuner when you play the scale and you will see the root and the octave are the same note
Thank you !!!!
thank God, somebody who actually speaks and teaches clearly, and concisely. Awesome Job.
awesome this helped so much! thanks man :D
Haha at least he can afford them Ive been playing with five old strings for like 3 months
here’s your answer switch the strings yourself you lazy fuck :D
can any one tell where is the next video for this lesson is ??
I rly didn’t get the whole major and minor intervals too so…im definitely missing something
