In the last lesson, we harmonized the G major scale in first position to understand the chords and intervals contained within the scale. This type of exercise is great because it reinforces four essential skills at once: scale position identity, interval recognition, root note awareness, and diatonic harmony. In this lesson, we’re going to do the same with the G minor scale.
I always enjoy exercises that are more encompassing than just learning a single skill. In this lesson, we’re going to harmonize the G major scale in first position to understand the chords and intervals of the key as a single system. This reinforces four essential skills at once: scale position identity, interval recognition, root note awareness, and diatonic harmony.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at the B Minor Scale on guitar. We’ll explore the scale formula, notes that make up the scale, chords that are found within the scale and the five positions of the B minor scale.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at the A Minor Scale on guitar. We’ll explore the scale formula, notes that make up the scale, chords that are found within the scale and the five positions of the A minor scale.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at the A Major Scale on guitar. We’ll explore the scale formula, notes that make up the scale, chords that are found within the scale and the five positions of the A major scale. Let’s get started.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at minor 7th chords, including the chord formula, how they’re built and common chord shapes on the fretboard.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at major 7th chords, including the chord formula, how they’re built and common chord shapes on the fretboard.
In this lesson we’re going to take a look at how to read scale diagrams. Scale diagrams are used all throughout this site to visually represent scale shapes and patterns on the guitar.
The importance of knowing the intervals on guitar can’t be overstated. It allows you to better understand how scales and chords are constructed and gives you a deeper understanding of how music works.
