the lesson I see here is that he loves what he's doing, even when talking basic theory to these beginners. i've seen this with other masters as well, in music and other arts. when even the beginning is still fresh for them, it never gets old and there is always something new to learn. reminds me of zen koan... "in the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, in the expert's there are few."

Lets start a band together, I sure could learn a lot from you!" *Shameless name-drop coming up...* When I had a lesson with Paul Gilbert, I forgot I was even holding a guitar.

@satric75 Each scale has its own mood when played. That is the point of this demonstration. Notes don't work in isolation, they only have character when combined with other notes. He says himself in the video that the theory is useless in itself but only has a function to create and describe moods.

Guthrie can give you spots of advice here and there, especially in his downloadable Jamtracks transcriptions and commentary, but you need to practice and learn. Bit of advice, avoid the youtube community when learning guitar. Ego and guitar do not mix. KZfaqrs, content creators and commenters, are so full of themselves that you will never learn. Find a professional like Guthrie and read. Ignore the rest.

Is there a slow way to get into music theory and understanding it better? I can play guitar, but I can't read music. I just copy what other people do and sometimes improvise on it. I only know the major scale and pentatonic scale. I use them with some success, but to understand all of the neck is my goal. Knowing some small things is enough to get by as a rock/blues guitar player, but it doesn't help for other genres.

@numosh8909 7 жыл бұрын

When he was demonstrating the phrygian dominant (5th mode of the harmonic minor scale, that is, a minor scale with a sharp 7th.) scale? It does have an eastern vibe to it. It's a combination of the dominant 7th, major 3rd and flat 2nd that give it 1: a "bluesy" sound (from the dominant), 2: an eerie sound from the flat 2nd, 3: a happy sound from the major 3rd. Put them together and you get that beautifully eerie, suspiciously happy scale which is used so much, from metal to pink floyd to classical.

That's just because of the multiple notes on one string, which can in ways emulate the slide sound. Also Derek Trucks has many Eastern inspirations such as Ali Akbar Khan, U. Shrinivas, Brij Bhushan Kabra, etc. and all that major stuff he was playing is straight out of Eastern influence-esque playing.

so...a very basic, 3 chord song based on the C major scale, as described by Guthrie using the 1, 3, and 5 chords would use the chords C, E, and G. Strum those for a measure each and you can hear the relationship of the chords. The sound will be sort of happy and upbeat.
