I'm here to help you become great at guitar so you can make and perform the music that you love.
Build A Strong Fretboard Understanding (Part 3/5) - Vertical Intervals (Ep.10)
In this video series, I show you a holistic method to learn the guitar fretboard. This particular video covers how to play intervals vertically along the entire fretboard and I explain some nuanced music theory on intervals.
It is recommended that you know at least the notes of the C major scale (natural notes) and that you have gone through Part 1/5, and Part 2/5; otherwise, you may have a hard time with the exercises, and they will not make much sense, as this exercise is just one part of really grasping and understanding the guitar fretboard.
If you want go back to part One, where you learn the notes of the guitar fretboard: ua-cam.com/video/Gw6s9xiJ_w8/v-deo.html
And Here is Part Two, where you learn to play intervals horizontally. ua-cam.com/video/Gug6PJEmh0M/v-deo.html

Dziękuję bardzo za wspaniałe wytłumaczenie teorii gitary. Mam nadzieję że pan jest Polakiem. Pana angielski jest również wspaniały.
Dziękuję bardzo. Rzeczywiście, jestem Polakiem, który mieszka w Niemczech.
@becomegreatatguitar poznałem po panu akcencie że może być pan Polakiem. W Niemczech pan mieszka, nie źle. Ja też mieszkam za granicą. Mieszkam w Kanadzie przez ostatnie 33 lat. Ale byłem urodziny w Wrocławiu. Bardzo ciekawie przedstawia pan tą lekturę na gitarze. Ja będę studiował ostro. Ja gram na gitarze może z 20 lat ale nigdy dalej nie doszedłem z moim graniem niż znając naj bardziej popularnych uchwytów i paru piosenek. Ja bym bardzo chciał się nauczyć teorii i nawigacji na szyi gitary. Miłego dnia.
@@purplemonkeydishwasher9360 My Polacy jakoś zawsze potrafimy się rozpoznać :). Cieszę się, że moje filmy z lekcjami się Panu podobają. Jestem pewien, że jeśli będzie Pan ćwiczył, wkrótce zrobi Pan postępy na gitarze. Życzę Panu powodzenia!
Interesting
After struggling to move beyond cowboy chords, discovering all fourths tuning was a major breakthrough for me.
This lessons are amazing and the graphics make them even cooler.
Great video. Part 3 is needed
I wouldn't say the piano is a perfect system and make the comparison like you did, I understand you did it for the sake of conveying the ideas in the clearest way possible, but playing different keys in the piano has a lot of difficulties because the keys are not regular, keys with a lot of sharps or flats is difficult because you have to twist your wrist more and adapt the posture, fingerings are a mess... But in guitar you can easily change kays of the same song and the only limitation is the overall register of the instrument, a lot of chord shapes can be easily moved while keeping the same shape, transposing melodies isn't very hard either, but doing that in a piano is more challenging... But this ease of use I think is also one potential drawback for guitarist to internalize music beyond a motor level. The content is good, but I find a bit misleading tbh... But maybe by the time people get there, they already know this.
Great! I've seen so many horrible explanations that take 20 minutes. You did this in under a minute!
When someone asks me how i played it i always say : "I dont know" . Its just ears and learned muscle memory and some band experiences. Didnt think about it till now.
Would have been better without cutting the camera off so you could see what you’re changing to.
He starts with the tonic on every mode. The only thing that changes is the note that gets changed. The notation above explains the note that is altered. In order to understand this in a practical sense a thorough understanding of the major-Ionian and minor-Aeolian would help to understand what he is doing in this short! It really takes a lot of time and studying to be able to run through these things naturally in a musical sense! Good luck
Hey man! thanks for the video. I have a quick question... What would this chord be? e|---x--- B|---7--- G|---7--- D|---5--- A|---7--- E|---x--- ChatGPT keeps saying it is a Dmaj7 as well, but I don't see it included in this video. I am writing a song that goes from that chord, into: e|---0--- B|---7--- G|---6--- D|---7--- A|---5--- E|---5--- And I'm trying to find variations for that. Am I just playing the same chord? cause it sounds different when I change obviously and am not able to tell yet.
Hey, the first chord (E G D F#) can be interpreted as Em9. E is the root, G is the minor 3rd, D is the 7th, and F# is the 9th. The second chord could be interpreted as Dmaj9/A (A = 5th, D = root, A = 5th, C# = major 7th, F# = major 3rd, E = major 9th). However, if the Em9 precedes this chord, I would name it as an A6 with the 11th (A is the root, D is the 11th, A is the root, C# is the major 3rd, F# is the 6th, E is the 5th). This way, you play a i-IV connection, which is very likely-but we need more context to be sure about that.... .Hope this helps. Good luck with your song writing! (Watch out! ChatGPT is extremely unreliable when it comes to music theory or guitar playing questions...)
Yep, I teach my students with Tabs and notation combined, notations are designed for piano. Thx
Thank you for making me realize I picked up an intrument for the clinically insane. You made me give up on it and saved me years of frustration 😊
Thank you !
Genius😃
Finally someone who actually made it make sense with a straight forward learning path and broken down piece by piece plus translated to piano who’s is simpler to learn Ty Ty Ty
Yep ! At 14: 35 " but on the guitar its a total mess " ive been noodling on guitar for 60 yeras and its STILL a total mess in my head !
Good video. Great content .
Thanks!
Good video, clear and concise content.
Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing !
Thanks! My pleasure!
🙇♂️💓🍀🎶 🤘😃
At 2 minutes in he's still giving us the ad for the thing and has not showed anything. Why such a long intro? Add 2 minutes and a half the commercial comes on, naturally it hangs, and he still hasn't said anything worth hearing. I might get back to it later
Guitar is certainly challenging to learn because of its layout and the physical complexity of playing it. But I think that the first steps to learn basic chord shapes for playing rythm is very rewarding as you can quickly play popular songs... Then there is the 'shape hell'... It took me years of stagnation to go past this and start discovering music theory from near zero. Discovering how intervals define scale / modes construction and how chords are built was a key missing information that I did not get during my self taught journey (thanks to David Walliman videos for that training material). Then I went to identify how to play the chord tones in solos and how to highlight modal characteristics. And also playing based on arpeggios as skeleton for melodic playing. This allowed me to compose / improvise on my own with a looper ... Was a long journey that could have been much shorter if I took a few classes that trained me on intervals, scales and chord construction in guitar at a young age instead of learning shapes of chords and scale blindly.
how do keys work ?
I just started teaching myself how to play the guitar. I just started with trying to play scales, triads, and arpeggios because that’s how you learn how to play the piano. I was just trying to find the notes by ear. I found this extraordinarily challenging. Glad to know that it isn’t just me. Also good to know that there’s value in this approach.
Tablature can be extremely helpful to help learn.
Too "young" to understand this. Thanks for the great work you do. I will"grow" and understand the pretty valuable things you are sharing here. I subscribed. Let me be on the one string pattern, first. You gave us a great exercise.
Nice video Dmitry!
Thanks. I did not see the full circle version in the video. Now it's in one reference. very useful!
Understand from the circle that the key of F has one flat. Where on the circle did you discern the flat was B? I figured it out by playing the major scale pattern but I don't see it on the circle
Hello William, you can easily look this up in the free resources for this video. There, you’ll find a printable PDF of the circle of fifths. I’ve marked the new notes-those that are sharps or flats-on the outside of the circle. For example, in the key of F, the B changes to B-flat, as shown on the outside of the circle. Similarly, for sharps, like in the key of G major, you’ll see F# marked on the outer edge of the circle. Additionally, there’s a worksheet titled "Note Degrees for All 12 Keys," where I list the note names for each key. Hope this helps! If not, let me know.
I know you mentioned the exercise is not to actually play the scales starting on the root. But I'm not sure I track the connection to the circle of fifths. by using the circle of fifths as your reference you're actually starting on the 7th note with half step to the root then following the w-w-h-w-w-w-h pattern right?
That's correct. But rather than conceptualizing this exercise in terms of whole and half steps, I recommend viewing each key as a pool of notes with the natural notes (ABCDEFG) a your reference. Start by practicing moving from C major to a neighboring key like F major, where only one note differs-in this case, B becomes Bb. Next, move from F-major to Bb-major, where E becomes Eb. Then, proceed to Eb major, where A becomes Ab. The same goes for the sharps. This step-by-step approach helps you memorize the note names as well as the circle of fifths.
Whatever it may be guitar is addictive. It keeps opening the uncountable doors-- an exploration of a never-ending discovery. This video has been an amazing production.
Thanks!
Piano is harder. On guitar you only have to shift the same shape up or down to play in a different key. On piano most of the chords and scales have a different shape. The only challenge on the guitar is the inconsistent tuning between the G and B string.
If piano is Space as we know it, the guitar is a Space where Wormholes are possible. In other words, guitar is an instrument of Shortcuts!
Hey man 2024 here saying thank you
Thanks! You're very welcome!
Well done, but with all the videos you offer, it would be helpful if you mapped out a starting point and natural sequence through a Table of Contents you recommend; for example, where is 'Part 4/5' or 'Part 5/5'?
Thanks! Part 4 is coming soon. I’ve shot the video but haven’t finished editing it yet. I think I’ll be done by next week. Part 5 is not even shot... I’m not sure I understand you correctly-are you asking for a guide on "where to start if you’re a beginner, intermediate, etc."? I’ve organized this video series into a playlist so it’s easy to follow.
Thank you for this look at Guitar. 🎸 i’ve been playing for 13 years, and while I have learned so much, in many ways, Guitar remains enigmatic… a mystery. This is what makes it such a beautiful instrument! , the more you get to know it, the deeper dive in, the more you appreciate! I look at it like the relationship with a beautifully complex woman, it can be puzzling, but it is most rewarding!
Thank you! What a beautiful analogy-I love it! I had a similar thought, but I was more focused on the guitar's aesthetics, thinking its curves resembled those of a beautiful woman... and you completed the idea perfectly!
If you enjoy it it's not a challenge If you don't enjoy it do something else When i taught myself when i was in my teens i was fasinated in music never put it down since ive tought myself other instruments played in many bands professionally written many songs it pays to have a good ear Everytime you pick up the guitar and play on note things are working in your mind to create now im 64 and still play most everyday play with other musos I think its different for everyone
When you start abcdefg isn't that a minor scale as far as the scale formula goes?
Yes, it is. But it's not so important for the purpose of this exercise.
my favourite feature is the tuning pegs, and although all my purist mates hated it, started using a number of open tunings, get to make the chords/melodies i like without the spidery finger stretching frustration using less fingers. (and discovered solfeggio intervals, now playing is sonic therapy, not frustrating or cramp inducing, carpel tunnels prefer it)
I am confused. You are essentially playing the F Major scale at 2:00. The fourth degree is a bflat, not b. Why do you play the 7th fret b note when it should be a 6th fret bflat note? When I do the exercise it just doesn't sound right.
The exercise is designed to use only the notes from a single key. I demonstrate it in the key of C major, which is why there’s no Bb. Feel free to check the tabs and correct the exercise if needed. The link is in the description.
@@becomegreatatguitar I'll check it out. This is awesome btw. Thank you so much...just subscribed!
Great stuff! What is the piece you're playing at the start?
Thank you! I made it for the video. It's based on the exercise with some tweaks.
this helps thanks man!!
You're welcome!
Guitar is not hard. It’s the most self taught instrument on earth. To create your own voice on the guitar is incredibly hard.
Really fantasticly presented. Really enjoy your content!
Thank you!
For me i've always found guitar to be easier to understand. Piano on the other hand, never could wrap my head around it lol
Fair enough!
Now throw alternate tunings into the mix lol
I would like to see a 3rd part on this topic!!! Thank you!!! 🎸✌️😎👍
Thanks! I'll do a follow up of this in the future!
I can’t believe this dude is only at 10k, pretty good way to teach this stuff
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I love how guitarist just can't stop suckin themselves off lol
Violinists generally learn a lot of music theory and it is tuned in 5ths, I don't think the layout of the guitar has anything to do with why most guitarists don't learn theory. Guitar is often learned in more informal settings l, if you were studying classical or jazz formally, you'd be learning theory. Other instruments can be weird too- the clarinet has a key to raise the tone a twelfth so that if you were playing a piece in C you'd essentially have to play high notes as if you were in F, huge interval, the recorder and valveless flutes have many forked fingerings, the violin family is fretless- adding a new dimension. Trying to learn piano as a guitarist comes with challenges too- the notes are linear, intervals that I could easily reach on guitar are a massive stretch with one hand- biggest interval I can reach (barely) is an 11th (comfortably) a major 10th. Moving large intervals around on guitar is easy- I can move an octave around or onto a different string pair easily, acurately moving an octave around on piano is hard, and you aren't playing a minor second as much as a 3rd, 4th, 5th or octave. Scales are spread out, on guitar I can play 2 octaves without shifting position, on piano I have to do multiple finger crossings or shifts to do that. On guitar chord shapes are movable- once you can do barre chords it is easy to quickly find the chord you want- you know where 3rds are by looking at your minor and major chord differences, you will know where your roots are, so embellishments, sus chords, etc can be made intuatively- with piano you have to really know your scales and chords inside out, sure you can figure them out, but improvisation and transposition becomes much harder- you can't just play the same shape higher, you need to know where the flats and sharps are, different keys feel wildly diificult. Unless you have a transpose key, you can't just slap in a capo or a barre chord or play the same finger pattern higher or lower. Then on the piano you tend to be doing more, you are often trying to do a bassline, harmony and melody all at once in a way you couldn't really achieve with guitar. I often hear that people think the left hand on guitar does all of the intricate movements around fingering strings. Turns out that it is harder to adapt my left hand to playing the rhthmic and dynamic feats my right does on guitar than getting it to make the chords and scales and the pedal just adds another layer of complexity.. I think you would learn theory in different ways on both instruments, I became immersed in theory on guitar and it is helping with piano, there are things that made more sense on guitar, piano is more visual, if you aren't a visual learner, it will be more difficult. I also like how on guitar I can find the same note in multiple places, meaning it is rarely too far away, on piano each note only has one position. They are hard in different ways., but I've wired my brain to play guitar and some other stringed instruments where I think of intervals between strings rather than across a keyboard!
This is an excellent instructional video. The content and style of delivery is perfect and, I reckon this would be worthwhile knowledge for anyone starting out on the guitar.
