1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,340
you can Master the guitar much faster
2
00:00:02,340 --> 00:00:04,259
than you might think and whether you've
3
00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:06,359
been playing for three days or 30 years
4
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:08,760
this video will help to clarify exactly
5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,800
how the notes are laid out whether
6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,599
you're right-handed or left-handed so
7
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:14,340
you can easily navigate the fretboard
8
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:16,800
using the inherent geometry of music to
9
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,380
play scales and modes and chords so you
10
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:21,420
can play any song you want or write your
11
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:23,160
own music basically by the end of this
12
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,019
video you'll gain a kind of x-ray vision
13
00:00:25,019 --> 00:00:27,539
into music theory and we're going to do
14
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:29,939
it in less than 13 minutes so let's go
15
00:00:29,939 --> 00:00:32,279
alright so to begin the point to keep in
16
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:34,260
mind is that you don't have to memorize
17
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:36,420
a bunch of finger positions you see most
18
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:37,980
people think of the guitar the way they
19
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,500
picture it is to see it as a big grid of
20
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,840
dots where these dots represent notes or
21
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,520
finger positions up and down the
22
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,440
fretboard if you press these notes for
23
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,340
example it's the c major scale
24
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,780
and this is the same pattern in a
25
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,539
different octave
26
00:00:53,539 --> 00:00:56,520
or to play chords you press other dots
27
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,260
moving your fingers to play each group
28
00:00:58,260 --> 00:00:59,640
with the idea that if you practice
29
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,379
enough if you can develop the muscle
30
00:01:01,379 --> 00:01:03,539
memory needed to become a good player
31
00:01:03,539 --> 00:01:05,099
the only trouble is you don't really
32
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,799
learn this way it's just rote your
33
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:10,020
muscles remember what to do but your
34
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:12,060
mind doesn't get a clear picture of why
35
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:13,560
these patterns work the way they do
36
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,299
which is really necessary for good
37
00:01:15,299 --> 00:01:17,340
songwriting these dots don't paint a
38
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:18,780
clear picture of what you're playing
39
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:20,460
because they're really more like Braille
40
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,500
than a vivid image of the underlying
41
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,360
patterns of Music Theory so to bring
42
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,100
these patterns a little more into Focus
43
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,500
instead of using uniform black dots to
44
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:30,180
represent the notes let's label each
45
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:32,280
with its letter name like this on the
46
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,140
low E string for example the letters
47
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:36,299
rise up the Frets in half step intervals
48
00:01:36,299 --> 00:01:39,240
the open string is e the first fret is f
49
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,220
then a half step above that on the
50
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,740
second fret is g flat then G on the
51
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:47,479
third fret and so on up the string
52
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:49,799
and on all of the other strings the
53
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:51,600
notes are laid out in a similar way with
54
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,640
the notes rising up the strings in half
55
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,200
step intervals now with each note
56
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,060
labeled with its own letter name like
57
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,100
this we're a step closer to cracking the
58
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,200
code of the guitar fretboard closer than
59
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,180
we were with only a bunch of black dots
60
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:04,979
to work with because now with these
61
00:02:04,979 --> 00:02:07,140
letter names each note is distinct which
62
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:08,880
helps to pick out the logic of this
63
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,919
pattern like the fact that each string
64
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,900
is really just a chromatic scale or the
65
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,000
12 basic notes of Music rising in half
66
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,440
step intervals like this on the
67
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,180
fretboard where the same pattern is
68
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:20,099
repeated on the various strings which is
69
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:22,080
insightful and gets us a step closer
70
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,879
like I say to mastering the fretboard
71
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:25,980
only it's still hard to really see what
72
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:27,120
we're looking at to really understand
73
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,220
the significance of these patterns since
74
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:30,780
these letter symbols are a little
75
00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:32,700
overwhelming this image is still sort of
76
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:34,560
visually chaotic so let's take a quick
77
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,300
closer look at these notes of the
78
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:37,800
chromatic scale to see the special
79
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,540
relationships between them that will
80
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:40,860
help to clarify what's actually
81
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:42,780
happening on the fretboard so these 12
82
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:46,160
notes of the chromatic scale
83
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,319
this is the most basic set of pitches in
84
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:51,300
music and really the mother of all note
85
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:53,400
patterns because everything from scales
86
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,260
and modes to chords and progressions
87
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,480
they all arise from these 12 notes just
88
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,099
by playing different interval patterns
89
00:02:59,099 --> 00:03:00,900
in other words no one really plays the
90
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:02,940
chromatic scale itself because it
91
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:04,800
doesn't sound very Musical on its own
92
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,959
instead musicians pick and choose
93
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,760
smaller groups of notes from this
94
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,500
pattern to play things that sound more
95
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,480
Musical and by far the most popular and
96
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,099
important pattern derived from the
97
00:03:14,099 --> 00:03:16,080
chromatic scale is the major scale like
98
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,120
this C major scale formed from a
99
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,860
sequence of whole step and half step
100
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:21,860
intervals
101
00:03:21,860 --> 00:03:24,180
unlike the chromatic scale which sounds
102
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:27,739
sort of plain and aimless
103
00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:32,060
the major scale is better on the ears
104
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:34,560
it has a more definite feeling of
105
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,180
movement and Direction where it
106
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,099
establishes a tonal center of gravity
107
00:03:38,099 --> 00:03:39,720
around one of the notes which in the
108
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,760
case of C major is the C note whether
109
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,599
you're rising up to this high C
110
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:48,500
or falling down to this low overseas
111
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:50,819
this major scale pattern of whole step
112
00:03:50,819 --> 00:03:52,379
and half step intervals creates the
113
00:03:52,379 --> 00:03:54,120
sense that either of these C notes on
114
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,159
the bookends are the tonal destination
115
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,739
it sounds like home so the major scale
116
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,900
is powerful in this way and the way that
117
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,940
it creates an audible sense of meaning
118
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:05,580
or context within the notes is key to
119
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:07,319
understanding the fretboard but it gets
120
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:09,180
even better because this special pattern
121
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:10,920
of whole steps and half steps in the
122
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,720
major scale leads to the next most
123
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,640
important pattern in music called the
124
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,380
circle of fifths which really helps to
125
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,120
explain the guitar and this is how it
126
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,000
works let's take the c major scale c d e
127
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,759
f g a b c and notice how we can split
128
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:25,860
the interval pattern in half so we get
129
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:27,960
whole step whole step half step whole
130
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,360
step whole step whole step half step or
131
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,120
intervals one two three four five six
132
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,800
seven eight well if we start on the
133
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,720
second half of this pattern on the G
134
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,820
note of the c major scale or interval
135
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,979
five and we repeat the same pattern of
136
00:04:40,979 --> 00:04:43,199
whole whole half whole whole whole half
137
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:44,640
we get another major scale
138
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,560
[Music]
139
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,840
this time the G Major scale that begins
140
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,360
on G where the G note is now the tonal
141
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,220
Center of this scale or in this key the
142
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:55,199
key of G and if we repeat this same
143
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:57,360
process splitting the G Major scale in
144
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,580
half starting on its fifth note D and
145
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:01,560
play the same interval pattern of one
146
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,720
two three four five six seven eight we
147
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,620
get the D major scale which is awesome
148
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:09,360
and by going through each scale this way
149
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,160
starting on the second half of each
150
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,020
respective pattern to form a new scale
151
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,180
the sequence of starting on each fifth
152
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:16,979
note of the previous scale eventually
153
00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:19,500
Cycles through all 12 Keys forming one
154
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,540
big loop of overlapping scales that we
155
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,460
call the circle of fifths now all of
156
00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:25,500
this is leading directly to your Mastery
157
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,180
of the guitar fretboard so check this
158
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:29,280
out the circle of fifths is important
159
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,560
because just as the major scale animates
160
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,300
the chromatic scale by injecting
161
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,520
movement and meaning into the notes the
162
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,199
circle of fifths is basically the major
163
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,419
scale on steroids so compared to the
164
00:05:39,419 --> 00:05:41,759
spark of musical energy created by the
165
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,740
major scale of any key the circle of
166
00:05:43,740 --> 00:05:45,479
fifths is more like an electrical
167
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:47,880
Powerhouse of music relationships that
168
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,220
lights up and connects all 12 Keys into
169
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:52,139
one big super pattern though again with
170
00:05:52,139 --> 00:05:53,699
all of these letter symbols for notes
171
00:05:53,699 --> 00:05:55,919
it's a lot to take in to clearly see how
172
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:57,720
all of the major scales in this pattern
173
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,820
overlap and intertwine so to picture
174
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:01,919
these relationships more directly it
175
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,320
helps to instead represent each key in
176
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240
the circle of fifths as a color in the
177
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,979
color wheel so for example you can see
178
00:06:07,979 --> 00:06:10,320
how the key of G red orange is equal
179
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,919
parts C red and D orange and how D
180
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:17,400
orange is equal halves g red orange and
181
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,800
a orange yellow Etc in the same
182
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,960
consistent way all around the circle all
183
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360
of the colors bleed seamlessly into one
184
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,699
another just as all of the keys overlap
185
00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:29,039
in music so now we have a more intuitive
186
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,560
view of the notes not relying on uniform
187
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,539
black dots to picture them or the
188
00:06:33,539 --> 00:06:35,280
standard letter names for notes but
189
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,680
using colors that actually convey how
190
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,539
they're all related in music and not
191
00:06:39,539 --> 00:06:40,800
only the relationships between
192
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,479
neighboring keys but also the
193
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:44,400
relationships between all of the notes
194
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,259
because the same symmetrical patterns
195
00:06:46,259 --> 00:06:48,180
between between colors also happen to
196
00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:49,919
highlight the same symmetrical
197
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:51,960
connections between the notes in music
198
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,360
color and music Follow the same patterns
199
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,160
it's just that one is visible while the
200
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,020
other is audible but like two languages
201
00:06:58,020 --> 00:06:59,759
that tell the same story they are
202
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,440
essentially one but how does this all
203
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960
apply to the guitar fretboard clearly
204
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,759
these three patterns are connected the
205
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:07,560
chromatic scale the major scale and the
206
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,419
circle of fifths but how does any of
207
00:07:09,419 --> 00:07:11,699
this help you play the guitar here's how
208
00:07:11,699 --> 00:07:13,440
now that you can actually see the 12
209
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,600
notes of music using color in the circle
210
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,979
of fifths all you have to do is
211
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:19,139
rearrange them through a simple rotation
212
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:21,300
back into the chromatic scale again and
213
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,039
we're back to where we started only now
214
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:25,139
all of the relationships between notes
215
00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:27,000
the otherwise invisible connections
216
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,280
between them are baked into the colors
217
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,380
so the chromatic scale is now also
218
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:33,780
brimming with musical energy so now you
219
00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:35,580
can literally see the connection between
220
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,560
the chromatic scale the mother of all
221
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,360
note patterns and the circle of fifths
222
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,460
which explains how all of the keys and
223
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,680
notes are related in music which is
224
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,180
where the guitar fretboard comes in
225
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:47,039
because the fretboard as a turns out
226
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,199
sits at the intersection of these two
227
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:51,120
patterns since each string on the guitar
228
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,039
is really just a chromatic scale where
229
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:54,780
the notes on each string rise in half
230
00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:56,639
step intervals up the Frets and the
231
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:58,860
notes on each fret rise in a circle of
232
00:07:58,860 --> 00:08:00,479
fifths pattern in other words if you see
233
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:02,940
the fretboard as one big grid of notes
234
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:04,979
all of the rows the strings are
235
00:08:04,979 --> 00:08:06,780
chromatic scales while all of the
236
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:08,580
columns the Frets are the circle of
237
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:10,319
fifths and this is because of how the
238
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:12,360
guitar is tuned with each open string
239
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400
above its respective fifth note except
240
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,900
for a slight shift in the pattern
241
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,000
between strings two and three which
242
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,860
staggers the chromatic scales on each
243
00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:21,660
string in a way that causes them to
244
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:23,639
align like this and within this
245
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,099
perfectly organized Matrix of notes the
246
00:08:26,099 --> 00:08:28,199
geometry of relationships between colors
247
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,180
between the notes informs how to play
248
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:32,099
everything on the fretboard like all of
249
00:08:32,099 --> 00:08:34,500
the scales in every key and the chords
250
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:35,760
that are built from these scales
251
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,500
including all of the chord inversions
252
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,299
that you see in the Caged chord system
253
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:41,458
which I explain in another video and of
254
00:08:41,458 --> 00:08:43,679
course all chord progressions in any key
255
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,540
and mode since all of these patterns
256
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:48,300
scales modes chords and progressions are
257
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:50,339
all built upon this underlying framework
258
00:08:50,339 --> 00:08:51,959
of notes which is basically an
259
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:54,240
interlaced Matrix of the chromatic scale
260
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,920
and the circle of fifths so you can
261
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,200
always revert the old days of black and
262
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,240
white to Simply memorize where to place
263
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,740
your fingers or you can try to picture
264
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:03,360
these patterns using the letter names
265
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,980
for notes getting lost in the
266
00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:06,899
alphabetical clutter or you can use the
267
00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:09,120
natural patterns of sight color to see
268
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,100
the underlying patterns of sound music
269
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:12,660
to really understand how the guitar
270
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:14,580
fretboard is laid out so you can easily
271
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:16,860
navigate as you play this is music
272
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:19,320
theory by definition which means to see
273
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,240
sound Theory comes from the Greek
274
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,519
theoria which means to look at view or
275
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,980
see so music theory means to see sound
276
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:28,140
so now you see it now you don't you can
277
00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:30,120
blindly grow up in the dark using muscle
278
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,860
memory or you can actually see what
279
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:33,660
you're doing to make music and once you
280
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:35,339
really understand and can see that the
281
00:09:35,339 --> 00:09:37,019
fretboard is just this interlaced
282
00:09:37,019 --> 00:09:39,180
pattern of the chromatic scale and the
283
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:41,279
circle of fifths combined you can really
284
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,080
play anything and I have different
285
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,820
playlists that dive into how to navigate
286
00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:47,640
these patterns on the guitar but just to
287
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,860
show you some examples here are some
288
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:51,360
patterns on the fretboard I've flipped
289
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,279
the guitar upside down here so it's the
290
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:54,720
perspective of when you're holding the
291
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,700
instrument looking at the fretboard and
292
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,560
again each string is a chromatic scale
293
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,959
while every fret follows the circle of
294
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:02,519
fifths which explains why the c major
295
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:04,680
scale for example looks like this on the
296
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,600
fretboard splitting the scale into
297
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,760
segments across multiple strings the
298
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,040
sequence is c d e f g a b c or up an
299
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,560
octave it's c d e f g a b c where this C
300
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,260
note is directly above its fifth note G
301
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:24,000
on the string below while at the same
302
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,420
time C is also below F it's other
303
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:28,860
neighbor in the circle of fifths only
304
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:30,959
over an upper fret because of the shift
305
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:32,640
in the pattern of these top two strings
306
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160
and because each Octave of a note is the
307
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,779
same color you can quickly find any note
308
00:10:36,779 --> 00:10:38,880
anywhere on the fretboard so it's easy
309
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,519
to play any C note for example whether
310
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:47,640
it is here or here or here here here or
311
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,160
here or here and the same goes for any
312
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,459
of the notes whether it's G or E flat
313
00:10:53,459 --> 00:10:55,440
Etc and since the underlying framework
314
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,180
of notes is consistent across the
315
00:10:57,180 --> 00:10:59,459
fretboard you can also play scales in
316
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:02,519
any key and octave so like this G Major
317
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,000
scale
318
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:14,300
or this E minor scale
319
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,779
or really any scale and mode on the
320
00:11:18,779 --> 00:11:20,399
fretboard of course it's about more than
321
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,440
just finding each note on the fretboard
322
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,839
it's also about seeing how and why all
323
00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:26,160
of the notes are related which the
324
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,079
colors show because the relationships
325
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:30,300
between them are baked in and just like
326
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:32,160
the scales the same goes for any chord
327
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,079
on the guitar since each chord is
328
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:36,060
derived from a scale which is informed
329
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:38,279
by the same consistent Matrix of notes
330
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:41,399
like the c major chord made from notes c
331
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:42,740
e and G
332
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:45,060
and no matter what the chord is whether
333
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:47,519
it's D minor for example
334
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,760
or E minor
335
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,650
or F major
336
00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:53,279
[Music]
337
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,320
Etc obviously we're moving a little fast
338
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
here and scratching only the surface but
339
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,519
like I say these colors explain every
340
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,500
possible pattern on the guitar whether
341
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:02,940
you're right-handed so playing a
342
00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:05,040
fretboard like this or left-handed since
343
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,079
the same patterns apply only in reverse
344
00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:08,940
patterns that are otherwise hiding in
345
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:10,680
plain sight and once you can see them
346
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,720
you really can't unsee them in the video
347
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
notes there's a link to a PDF with all
348
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,680
of these diagrams and in the community
349
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,920
there are lots and lots of videos and
350
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,620
diagrams that dive into all of this a
351
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:24,120
lot further so you can check that out if
352
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,339
you want hopefully this was helpful and
353
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:28,740
if so please let the algorithm know and
354
00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:31,820
I will see you in the next video
