In today's video I want to talk you about something that I like to call: "Creative Research"
The main concept is to think in zones of the fretboard associating chords and scales and the only theory that you need to know is that chords are extracted from scales.
You can choose any scale, extract a group of notes and find a chord that works over that scale. The idea is to play a line and then tie it to a chord shape.
An absolute master of this type of playing was Jimi Hendrix!

For the first time in my many years of trying to understand chord and scale structures, David has finally switched on the light.
Finally.
Just finally
Ive been playing guitar for 10 years and everytime i tried to learn notes or how people do that fancy stuff. I always get frustrated or bored. But you sir. You sir have set me up with the ultimate teaching lesson which was neither boring nor frustrating. I really appreciate it.
Thank you!!
@@Wallimann np. It was very helpful and 99% of my attempts sounded good
Great lesson David. Really enjoy your style of teaching and the diagrams are phenomenal! Keep up the great work.
I always wondered how people just made music, thx for the help. One step closer to becoming a rock star
This might be my favourite video of yours that I have watched to date. Why? No idea. None whatsoever. BUT, your guidance connected with me. Looking forward to spending some hours working on these ideas. Thanks for making this, and sharing your talent with the community, David! We all grow with great input like this.
Kinda came to a super vague 'chords made by scales' idea while practicing and this video helped me so much actually understanding. Thank you so much!
Awesome video. My friend asked me to come up with a melody for him to use so this should get my creativity flowing
I am really enjoying David's excellent articulation of music theory...it is actually making sense to me!
This is the stuff I imagined playing. Now I have the means to making it a reality. David really opened my eyes.
hey that's a really cool lesson. Shows you don't need to know what the chord name is... just where notes that sound good together are hiding (in plain sight) in a certain scale pattern. Very useful technique. Thanks for demonstrating it. Great lesson.
This lesson is good as gold! Seriously big big thanks David!
This is so fun man, i played guitar as a kid and now just getting back into it is like being a kid again, this really helped me thanks this really gave me some perspective
Thank you David! Great lesson!
all of your content is SO valuable thank you so much sharing these ideas with us. I'm new on this channel and your advices was exactly what i was looking for. Keep going on comrade :)
Killer video! Thanks for sharing!
33 people thumbs downed this video... must be other guitar teachers who realize how great of a teacher David is ;)
Fantastic lesson. Thanks from Spain.
David you are my first on line teacher and still my favorite, love your channel.
+Edi Gabrieli Thank you Ed!
Great lesson!
Solid lesson thank you so much for getting into the good stuff I needed to practice more.
This is awesome! I really appreciate your approach, especially highlighting the importance of finding one's own voice. This is truly what it's all about. So many teachers on UA-cam want to teach you a "rock lick" or a note per note solo and I just hate all of that! I don't want to mimic anyone else except maybe a few of my favorite songs to cover. I want to find my own voice and develop it.
Thanks so much David, looking forward to more from you!
Ps sorry about my comment about jamplay yesterday. I was confused!
Thanks so much man! No problem, I do contract work for them so it can be confusing! :)
Great vid and food for thought for all levels
I always wanted to know how they did that! Really awesome!!!
I love this approach. Brilliant and inspiring. Thanks Dave. 👍🍺
Love your playing style.
Great idea for beginners like me! I love it.
thanks david great lesson, need to get back on the guitar infusion lessons :) Thats the bad thing about actually learning the guitar, once you start actually understanding the theory and the way the guitar is setup it makes it easy to distract yourself, itleast for me, so fun when you can start playing mostly by ear. Later brother man and thanks for all you do.
Very helpful information!
Very informative! Thank you.
Another bullseye👍👍
Thanks for your great lesson
amazing i love your style mister
JIMI IS THE BEST!!! my favorite by far!
Very interesting and exciting. Thank you!
Never thought of this concept thx
Excellent advice. I wish I'd known this the first time I learned.
Great lesson......thx dave!!
Awesome cant get enough of your vids great job simple and point on...thanks for taking your time to teach an easy way of learning guitar instead of telling me 1st finger on the 4th string 5th fret second finger and so on and so on so boring...your vids rock...
+2025kamudog Thank you!
Excelent mate!
Thanks David!
Recently subscribed, glad I found your channel. I get a lot out of your lessons. Thanks. PS: Love the look (great color) and sound of the Vola, except for those pick-up covers;, they're too shiny! LOL
thats really great information brother! thanks so much..liking and subing
Thanks Jeff!
Hello, from Brazil. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
more clearer explanation!!!! thanks so much!!!
Interesting and fun idea
Holy hell! This viedo was awesome!!!
Forgive me for judging you during the first part of the video while I fel that you were going to fast. As I kept watching, I realized how crazy great and simple this video was. Best of luck with everything in life!
Thank you!!
I’m still confused on just what chord goes with whatever fragments you were exampling. Like most songs I know to play are using mostly major chords with a minor in there somewhere and it’s making me wonder if there is a dumb down pattern I can play as lead accompaniment or overlaying melody. Nothing too complex but plenty of room for soothing uniqueness...? Thankyou im groovin on all this food for thought I can absorb at my own-pace but open my fretboard up alittle more to noodling.
I know my creativity will improve once I understand what note will be smooth with what set of chords which may be in any multitude of orders. I hope I said all that right🤔
Hot damn this was such a good video for me, thanks so much.
good lesson
David ____ All minds do not work at the same capacity for understanding. I am unable to find the sound I am looking for with, 'Pentatonic, or 'Caged... I can hear, and find the, 'Tonic of everything I hear at 6 different places. So I concentrate on, Modes', keeping in mind the 'semi-tone intervals' between B&C / E&F, and the degrees therein of 'Series, and Parallel ... the rest is just instinctive 'Noodling. What do you recommend?
very nice
Plus -> This simple trick will make your guitar sing! - - > Thank you David!!
thnx dave
What scale was it that you played during the riff on 8:45
Playing over backing tracks is one thing, but the sounds alone are ordinary without backing tracks, for me anyway, thanks for showing how to combine the two.
This must have been said before but what brand and model of guitar is David playing?
Thanks
When venturing out of a scale shape into another, do you have to be mindful of staying in key?
So is it he dorian a major a scale. And also is the dorian the most popular pattern. ( I'm figuring what's the point of memorizing other scale patterns and not being able to master them
Is this A Dorian scale? The reason I ask is do you always think I’m modes or say would you just keep it in your head that it’s G Ionian. My problem is I relate everything back to G Ionian or E Aeolian and I play mindless notes instead of melodic notes.
Hi David,
Can you help me find your Music Theory DNA course? It doesn't come up if I search Guitar Playback. BTW, thanks for the video, putting scales and chords into perspective. I think most of us have their priorities reversed.
+dingoswamphead Thanks for the nice comments! Here it is: www.guitarinfusion.com
Since keys are just pitch..if you know the fret board in C MAJOR/ A minor.
You know you can barr straight across the 5th . 10th and 12 fret.
The notes will be in A min. D minor or E minor pentatonic...
In other words....if you play in B minor...you can also let all the notes RING OPEN
at the NUT...
Expand on the idea....of playing in other keys.
Example..let say you play in E MAJOR.....The E and B are perfect 5th. The A is the perfect forth. You can let the 4 outside strings ring open..
You just have to pretend the NUT is at the 8th fret..
Play the notes on the D and G strings accordingly...you can make simple chords or
diads...chord less the ROOT and DRONE off the Open strings...ect
ON PAPER it'll look WICKAGE..because the notes are SPREAD OUT and note NOT
going EVERY OTHER NOTE.....YOU"RE NOT on the PIANO...
PIANO PLAYER has a hard time with OPEN CHORDS VOICING.
or when the arpeggios arnt always stacked EVERY OTHER NOTE
MAKE the PIANO PLAYER....ADJUST to you...or rather...dont write your music
on a guitar for a piano or around the piano.
You can make a lot of beautiful sounding chords
and different melodies will spring from it...
You can also expand on this concept....
DONT CHANGE the Melodic to fit the chords....Rather. change the chords to
to fit the melody. The parallel keys/scales....will make more sense to you.
When you VAMP/sub chords/axis pitch...you're basically changing the chords....
if you play in F Major or D minor..You can play all the note open except the B string.
Just pretend the NUT is the 8th fret...or just place a finger on the F note B string.
Pretend the 5th fret is the NUT.
as a reference. You can let the rest of strings ring open...it's a beautiful chord.
Use the guitar fretboard to your advantage. Know the instrument's pros and cons.
I have no idea what you are saying. I'm sure it's completely valid but I can't make sense of it..
What guitar r u playing
Every time I hear "Intervals" word 👉 ❤️ (for those who don't know, add the word "band" on UA-cam)
Very nice lesson, you seem like a nice fellow I would like to keep in touch!
+Sam Stray Thanks Sam, welcome to the channel!
Keep it rocking Dave do you use Logic Pro X?
How often do you change strings? When is the right time to change strings?
Until all of them break.
@@PresenceUponMe Hahaha...btw I asked him!
How to get inspiration to make a melody?
When just listening to David‘s voice, it‘s like having Tarantino as your guitar teacher 🎸 🤘🏻
Could scales be built upon chords?
u will be at 100k subs soon lessons like these
I'd love that! It's been a loooong 9 years!
In short terms,you play Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do for each chord in different octaves and different fret. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
YOU ARE THE GUY , THAT LESSON VALUES MILLIONS
Thank you!
music theory class
Best teacher ever
This is great. Get out of shapes, and start comping with note groups!
anyone who is serious about really learning to play the guitar would benefit from Davids Guitar infusion Course, I Highly recommend it. Seriously a good structured way to learn the theory and play by ear.
Thank you!!
is that a fake account made by you david?
What's the name of the chord he plays at 6:07 ?
It's a BMajor 11 chord roughly, the 3rd is not voiced.
Or maybe B triad with sharp 3rd, forget what its called augmented 3rd?
Woops sorry it is a B sus4
Found it! It's called an A Maj7add4
Bob.
Why, when I do this, playing basically the same notes -why does it always sound like "just scales" instead of music?
Try putting the guitar down and sing over the backing track. :)
What guitar dou you use?
That one is a Vola Oz. Here is the review: ua-cam.com/video/PYsrmNX8oNo/v-deo.html
@@Wallimann booo
As someone that knows the basis of the theory but is still insecure. This validated my thoughts. Thanks comrade!
Thank you!
What brand guitar is this? So cool looking!
Vola
It's the Vola OZ model, here is my review! ua-cam.com/video/PYsrmNX8oNo/v-deo.html
theres this thing i dont understand in sheet music(unrelated but im desperate)
I guess it's a good lesson, way too fast for me as a relative noob though......
Rewind. Rewatch.
neil groves - dude look in the UA-cam settings. you can slow down any video and it still maintains pitch. It's brilliant learning tool I use all the time.
+Pól 's Eye Wow I did not know that. thanks!
who knew Quentin Tarantino was this good on the guitar!!!
What is that guitar?
That's a Vola Oz. :)
Great lesson david, out of interest, can you tell me what amp/gear your are playing on, sounds great?
Thanks so much! I'm not using an amp, it's all digital. I use an Axe FX II.
I don't know what is wrong with some of these youtubers. You rant for 2:48 seconds before you begin the lesson. Good lessons. Except I cant stand when youtubers dont go straight to the point
They’re just putting bread on the table , goodluck yo
More bits for couch noodling.
The title is wrong! This is not the easy way to practice melodies on guitar because he is using a B dorian scale as an example, just because of that! The easy way is with the major or minor scale
Much respect but this seems like rocket science 😭😭
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💙🥀🦋
how do u ppl ( guitar players and piano players) keep all scales memorized?
do u always remember stuff like "WhWWhWW" ? for example if u wanna play on a dorian scale u just know the " W h ..." thingy?
im so lost lol
Learn your pentatonic scale man there's five patterns in the pentatonic scale and you use those same patterns in every key you just shift them up or down. Seems a little intimidating at first but gets easier with practice
Eddie Macias Thx for the answer but how is that supposed to answer my question in any type
Sorry bud
😪😪😪
Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM Today
True, but not super relevant..
Sorry for my bad english
i didnt understand shite.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
good guitar player but too much chatter! get to the chord/scale shape
There's a reason why David Wallimann is a great teacher
Boring.
talk less and get to the point plese
