Yea this has always been like trying to understand Japanese or any foreign language...it gets overwhelmingly confusing for me when it comes to any "technical" guitar stuff the way i guess i try to improve my playing is just by constantly trying to learn new riffs and solos from some of my favorite bands but from someone whose been playing for 27yrs but haven't really improved much...I had a tough time just trying to get a guitar that I can afford that aesthetically fits me for my best playing. Because I'm a lefty but have mainly owned right handed strat body knockoffs and first issue was I started playing a right handed guitar upside down. So the strings were reversed for me but I could play songs just by ear but after years I realized I couldn't even play general power chords (try playing a power chord reversed....its really akaward) so eventually paid to get the nut piece from a left handed guitar so the strings would be correct and that was basically like relearning guitar all over again. And then realized I can hardly solo low on the fretboard because of the lower horn was closer to my low E string instead of the high E. And havent had a guitar that i could bend the strings up a whole fret with ease like I see peoples guitars on KZfaq vids so those types of things sort of hinder me from my full potential. But like i have trouble trying to follow just tabs because i dont really have a reference on exactly where im at in a song and get lost trying to learn solos through tabs or I know what strings to play on what fret but I dont know how its picked and it gets confusing. Ive always just played what I wanted of mainly cover songs and did everything willy nilly with no structure or technical playing i just liked to learn songs by ear and whenever I get stuck I look up guitar lesson vids on here and I actually learn alot from just covering my favorite guitarist and learning their styles of playing

If you think this type of theory is brain busting, check out Arnold Schoenberg and try completely understanding smoothly modulating between and threw all of the different keys.

And that's the FIRST 2 notes of the riff/melody y'all...

I'm studying the Level 2: Intervals part. I'm checking the notes in the fretboard with the songs presented to figure out which interval is used at each part of the riff. I have it figured out for all of the songs except for the ones shown in the Major 6th and Minor 7th examples. Can someone explain which notes are the ones that use each interval? For Man in the Mirror I see that the first two notes are: B-D. However when I count 9 semitones from B I get G#. Also, the next two notes are E-G. Again however, 9 semitones from E lead me to C#. Am I missing something? Is it used in the next notes? Also for Man in the Box, I understand that first notes are what we could a unison since the root of the chord and the single note are the same ones. But the last two notes appear to be B-D. 10 semitones from B lead me to A however. I would like some help. Correct me in anything I have wrong, I've just started out learning.

12:07 "a scale within a scale" is not a great way to think about it in my opinion. it's a scale DERIVED from another scale. 'within' would be more suited to describe a pentatonic (but even then thats a bad description as it is its own independent thing).

Wait so relating to modes, if D Dorian starts on the second note of the C major scale, would it still be “D” Dorian if we’re playing the C major scale notes and not D major?
@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard29 күн бұрын
There are two ways to think of modes. The "relative" way is the way you just described in your comment. Dorian is the notes from the key of C starting on D. This can be confusing because we're referencing the C Major scale. There is another way to describe the sound a mode: "parallel". First let's leave the locrian mode aside and put the other 6 into two camps: Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian are like the Major scale (Ionian is identical of course). and Aeolian, Dorian, and Phrygian are like the Minor scale (Aeolian is identical of course). Dorian is like the natural minor scale but with a raised sixth. So therefore, D Dorian is like the D minor scale but with a B-natural instead of a B-flat. With the "relative" way of thinking of modes, you think of the Major scale that shares the same key signature but you instead start on a different scale degree. For dorian, start on the 2nd scale degree. With the "parallel" way of thinking of modes, you think of the Major scale or Minor scale and make some purposeful adjustments. For dorian, play the natural minor scale but with a raised 6th. Some people prefer one of the other... hope that helps....
