A Simple Way To Transform Your Scales - Part One

- A simple way to improve your musicianship with a fundamental building block: scales, but played in intervals.
In this video I play through C Major using the intervals of 3rds and 4ths. Intervals are the distance between notes. I was given this game by my teacher, Eric Hofbauer (link below) and I feel like it exposed a big gap in my playing.
I'm working to close that gap now and hopefully helping you avoid my oversight.

Hi there! My name is Amy Mantis. I'm a guitarist, singer/songwriter, educator, and soon-to-be master's of music student. I practice maximum enthusiasm in all that I do. I hope you find my videos to be helpful and inspiring.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Amy
Thank you Amy! This is all good information! I love how you keep it real by doing this live on-the-spot and retaining the mistakes in the video. This is important because we all make mistakes, no matter what level of playing we're at.
You’re most welcome! And the mistakes aren’t going anywhere 😂
I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years, went to music school, and I’m going *back* to music school for a master’s. There are going to be many mistakes along the way that I’m willing to share. They happen! That’s why we practice.
This is great way to blend scales and interval practice and still sound musical. I like how you goof, own it, explain what happened and then keep going. It's a great demonstration of framing to help reassure new players.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful and reassuring. 5ths, 6ths, and 7ths are coming up next.
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and I still make mistakes. We all do. And that's okay! It's how we know what to work on and what needs our attention.
Practicing intervals while practicing scales is a great idea
It is, and I wish someone had told me sooner than April of 2024.
That's a cool guitar
Thanks! I like it too :)
Are you in an Empty room cause the acoustic's are like you are in a large tin can but the lessons are dope Thank you
Regrettably, I am in an empty room that isn’t mine and is not designed for recording. Working on making it better! Glad you like the material regardless!
@@AmyMantis I Loved it you are very inquisitive in your astute of the guitar they claim putting egg shipping of box containers make's for good acoustic's also accents the Wall's
do you memorize the shapes for the intervals and the scales? I am think9ng that of you do it easy to choose any key. Or do you think of the actual note names?
Do you memorize the shapes for the intervals and the scales? I am thinking that if you do, then it is easy to move to another key. Or, do you think of the actual note names?
Both. I start with the shape and make sure I know the notes. Ultimately I think the notes are more important than the shapes. But the shapes help a lot and are a great shortcut at first.
I am confused but like what I am hearing.
Can you list out the notes you are targeting again within the C ionian?
Or is there a tab?
Nevermind just found the tab in description..🤘🏼
Word! The C Major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
The more important thing (which will be in a video soon) is knowing the major scale pattern. Which is whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
@@AmyMantis Thanks!
I am very familiar with all of the degrees and formulas.
Just never looked at 3rds like this in the scale.
Sounds like you are definitely trying to drive your brain 🧠 banana's
I’m making it work overtime these days that’s for sure. But it’s fun!
@@AmyMantis Ok Amy im game trying it is pretty stumble bum but with repetition it's a little bit better and easier to accomplish Thank you for that mental clarity boost.
