Basic Theory
- The Musical Alphabet – Our first look at the basic 12 Note Musical Alphabet (also known as the Chromatic Scale) that we use for EVERY INSTRUMENT.
- Sharps (♯) and Flats (♭) – These notes make up almost half of our 12 Note Alphabet and are just as important as the Natural Notes (non- Sharp & Flats).
- The Alphabet on Guitar– See how the 12 Note Musical Alphabet lays out nicely on the each string of the guitar.
- How We Hear Music– How most of us hear music and the RELATIONSHIP between notes.
- Half Steps and Whole Steps – Our first intervals !
- What is a Scale? – and where do they come from?
- The Major Scale – The foundation for all music theory, scales, chords, and arpeggios!
- Major Intervals – The intervals of the Major Scale, broken down.
- All 12 Intervals – The rest of the intervals from our Chromatic Scale.
- The Minor Scale – A few changes to the Major Scale formula give us a darker/sadder sounds.
- The Pentatonic Scales – Take away a couple notes and you get the most commonly used scale on guitar!
