Amazing. 30 yrs ago, in music school, we had to write out scales on music notation paper and I suppose I was going thru the cycle of fifths and I noticed that in the key that had one sharp, it was the 7th degree. In the scale with 2 sharps, it was the 7th and the 3rd. 3 sharps was 7-3-6. Then 7-3-6-2 etc. I thought I had discovered some crazy magic cosmic order and the code was 7-3-6-2-5-1-4!! But I never recognized how it applied to the fretboard. I believe the circle is now complete. Thank You!!
Super easy. Just draw an imaginary dodecahedron in 6 dimensions across your fretboard and Bob's your uncle.
Cracking me up here Dez 😂
6 2 5 1 is a classic turnaround too.
Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you Ricky.
Okay! I want to get back into guitar playing (it's been 15 years). Having watched several of your videos, your method seems intuitive and easy. I went to Amazon and bought the book. Thanks, buddy!
It’s funny a few months ago I came up with seeing the circle of fourths in scale degrees instead of notes. Very powerful as the fretboard is laid out in fourths stringwise. I like your idea of starting out on the 6 not 7 but the full sequence in fourths is 7362514 b7 b3 b6 b2 b5 so I find it easier to start on 7 since the last five are just flats of the first 5. I see the circle as a 3x4 table or MATRIX too. The 3 minors on the left side column and the 3 majors on the right column. Each one represents a mode. Laid out like this I can number them in fourths (scale degrees) beginning on the bottom left and working around in an N pattern. Can do it in letters too. This abstract table or matrix (12 cells) can be projected directly on the fretboard with of course the b String kink adjustment. Great for seeing relative major/minor modes, which chords are characteristic, figuring modal keys etc. To fill out the tables outer left and right hand column cells in modes start in the lower left hand corner which is Phrygian then following the N path through the grid then gives aeolian Dorian mixolydian Ionian Lydian. It all makes sense when you picture it this way. Dorian and Lydian are on opposite sides of the same row hence why they are relatives of each other. To figure out a modal key just put 1 in the modal box and fill out the rest of them in the circle of fourths following an N path. The misfit locrian lives in cell at row 2 column 3 just to the left of Ionian which is at row 2 column 4. Each cell moving left to right is a fret or half a step. So from left column to right is a minor 3. Top corner to bottom corner is a M2. The uses are unlimited. Tons of info stored in this table of 12 cells.
The fretboard reminds me of one of those barber shop spiral signs. It just keeps spinning around and around like the fretboard. Off one edge and back into the other. Keep on going as if it was infinite. Which it kind of is.
Ricky .....Happy New Year to you and yours 🥰
Great lesson,
still beyond my level (firmly focussed on Lightnin Hopkins ATM ......shouldn't think he knew this wonderful world of which you speak either TBH)
......BUT I"M going to get there
and what a waste to not persevere with the opportunity you generously provide to learn.
I already know all the notes on fretboard but i only can play c major notes sheet music on fretboard easily, but with other scales have problem to read notes and directly play them on guitar
I don’t see by memorizing this it will help me navigate the fretboard or is there something I’m missing…!
Yes you need this lesson as a prerequisite: ua-cam.com/users/liveMBwpg4iYG3c
I already have your book but the "ebook" link appears to be broken.
Yup.Someone broke it trying to game the download limits. I'll be fixing it soon. Just trying to see the year out stress free.
@@rickysguitar - Absolutely - just thought I'd let you know. Sounds like you are all over it.
btw - I decided to purchase the ebook as well so I can makes notes and organize lessons from the spiral book in any fashion I like (in a 3 ring binder) without altering the printed book any further than I already have. I do appreciate your work for us. I haven't worked on any written material in years. You have inspired me to get back on it. Thanks
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and all. 🥳
I enjoy your lessons but this one got by me. What is it that I was supposed to take away from this lesson? I am going to copy all of the notes you made during this lesson and add it to my book.
Everything you are missing is in the playlist linked in this video. ESPECIALLY check out the synonym lesson. ua-cam.com/users/liveMBwpg4iYG3c?feature=share
@@rickysguitar - thanks Ricky. I've been there but the usefulness of this info still eludes me. I guess that is my problem to solve.
@@78tag Being able to remember, or invent, songs gets a lot easier if you unload your memory. You could try and learn each song independently but that is a lot of work. The magic number is the chord sequence of “I will survive” and “Ave Maria” ( and “Fly Me To The Moon”, “Autumn Leaves”…) and many many more. With this trick in mind you can join a jazz jam session and, not knowing anything more, hack your way through an entire afternoon. Or, just noodle on the guitar and sound like a bebop jazz guitarist. Decorate your chords with a 7th, 9th, 13th. And it will sound amazing. Shift the pattern up by a couple frets to change keys! Or play skeleton chords 1,3,7. You will be amazed how 6,2,5,1 4,7,3 can change your guitar life.
@@johnryan8645- thank you. I will rethink those lessons with that perspective and see if I get the point of that lesson. I really like the idea of using the number system. As you said it allows seeing everything as a system instead of memorizing everything. I get that part - it must come down to a better grasp of the "L" shapes and making better use of those chords. I'm going to watch this episode again
@@78tag excellent! You go! Check out the Wikipedia page on this progression…. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi%E2%80%93ii%E2%80%93V%E2%80%93I And the amazing thing is you just walk down the strings. Amazing! But just have fun!
Theory made simple. All i have to remember now is b7a27hpr83j991su847b83c0112k727bwk82j385d91 thanks 🎯
Paul...its 7 numbers. 6251,473 that's it...
How important is learning guitar to you?
Having taught guitar for over 30 years I'm telling YOU explicitly. This number is worth memorising.
Take it or leave it, BUT that would be a MASSIVE mistake.
