Watched this video 3 times and I thought I understood it the first time without knowing there was an error in my understanding. In C major scale, from F->B, it is a tritone so the tritone should exist among F7 chord. Why is it among G7? This is my misunderstanding. I don’t know why I had this wrong idea in my mind. So I used G7 as an example: G7: G B D F; G->B: major 3rd; G->F: flat 7th; B->F, BCDEF: there’re 6 semi-tones, a tritone; Thus, a tritone exists among the dominant 7th chord. Using the example made the rest of the video understood. This is a great video. The instructor, Mr.Chris, not speaking super fast, speaks in a way that helped my poor understanding. Very knowledgeable and high quality video!! 👍👍👍 I’m glad I learned something important today. Thank you 🙏 Chris!!

I’m a little confused actually. In the explanation Chris says that the yellow triangle is pointing to the starting point. Yet when he plays Dorian, off second degree, the triangle is pointing to a different degree. What have I missed? Apologies if this has been covered
@curiousguitarist 2 күн бұрын
@@iaindavies-moore5061 there’s a lot to track here for sure! The yellow triangle shows you where the major scale architecture begins. So for Dorian, since it’s built off of the second degree of a major scale, that architecture starts BEHIND Dorian’s root, on its 7th degree. I hope that helps! If not there are a few other videos on the channel about modes that look at them from different perspectives, one of those might be more enlightening if this one is too dense.

@@curiousguitarist hmmm. I'm honestly not trying to be difficult here. I've been trying to understand this stuff for 30 years. I'm still 99% lost and I have seriously attempted to understand it a few times. "expose chord structures across the fretboard". I don't understand why. Is it simply so I can play a C chord at a different location? What I mainly can't wrap my head around, when someone is noodling or riffing around, what are they doing in their head. Are they following a pre-set pattern? Are they honestly taking a C shape and working it backward up the fretboard so they can quickly nail another C chord at the 15th fret? Because it seems like they are moving too fast to be doing all that calculation in their heads. Right now all I do is work up and down 1 position of a scale. It's either a major, a minor, a pentatonic, or a blues. Not sure which. I have seen the pattern I play shown as all of the above. There is nothing consistent I can find about this instrument. I want so badly to understand it and be able to play it. The only way I can think of to riff around on this instrument is to blindly memorize tab, but I struggle with this. I have spent a ton of money on music gear over the years, wanting to figure it out. I would pay someone $1000 who could make it make sense. I liked your video on stages of competency. I'm forever stuck in phase 2. Knowing I don't know, but any attempt to listen to lessons or theory or instruction, almost without fail, I'm completely lost in the first minute then it's just frustrating.

OK, self taught player here (initially, anyway). I don't understand what this 'system' is meant to be. I've seen explanations like this one, and others, and there's this hype about a CAGED 'system', but all I see is a set of standard (and some rather impractical) bar chord shapes. That enunciates the same principle as the basic, beginner level bar chord techniques I learned 40 years ago from a beginner's book. Root note of the E shape bar chord is on the 6th string, thus the name: root 6 bar chord. Same with the root 5, etc. To the extent there's a system here, it's just the relationship of intervals between strings. Again, this is something one learns when learning how tune up by ear, and by learning your first 12 bar in A. ("Oh wow, the root of the I chord is on the 5th string, the root of IV chord is on the 4th string, and the root the V chord is on the 6th. So the IV chord is 5 frets higher than the I chord, and the V chord is 5 frets lower...or 7 frets higher, depending on how I look at it...that means I could play that here, too. Actually, I could play that up here, as well. Or here. I wonder how many ways I can think of to play an E?" And so on.) So the CAGED things promulgates a set of standard bar chords. That move. But that's like saying water is wet: bar chords are DESIGNED to move, so what's the insight?
@curiousguitarist 13 күн бұрын
@@Splattle101 sounds like none for you. The “CAGED chord shape relationship thingie” is a way to visualize all the things you’ve mentioned. So I would suggest you never think about it again and move directly to triads and scale relationships. The 40 years you’ve spent on the fretboard have given you a familiarity that bypasses the benefit of CAGED. I see no benefit for you in taking the time to study it.

So for the 1-4-5 blues, my strategy has been to play the scale for the chord I'm on. For example in A, when it goes to the 4/D, I hit a D and then play the scale for D where that D I found is the root note. Same for E, switch to the scale where the E I landed on is the root. I use the pattern closest to where I already am. It sounds right. Is there anything technically wrong with doing that?
