Hey, what is up everyone? It is Wat here.
We are going to be orchestrating a Beastie Boy song, which we are all going to be part of. It is going to be awesome. And on top of that, I will be discussing what time signatures are. But this week, we are going to learn how to apply the – guitar so let us just jump right into it.
Feel free to subscribe, rate, comment, ask me questions or whatever you want. This week, we are going to learn how to line the notes to the guitar and the piano. This is called Part 1, Part 2 only for the piano. So the promise that you see these notes, how do you play them? So what I have done is that I take in a piece of paper and I just drew out how you would read them. So here is your treble clef and here is your five lines on the staff.
Here is E, G, B, D,F. But now, where are they at? So here in red, I have written the open strings on the guitar. Here is the guitar and here is the tuning, here is the neck, here is the string, here is the nut, here are the frets. So now we are going to look at this. Here are the six strings on the guitar. E, A, D, G, B, E, this E is the one that is closest towards your face. It is the closest towards the ceiling. This E is the one that is closest towards the floor. It is pointing down towards your feet.
So here is your six strings E, A, D, G, B, E,. I have written them in red and all of the other notes, I have written in black so that these guys stay a little bit more. So now, let us see what I did. Here in red are the notes E, A, D, G, B, E. And what I have done is on the staff, I have actually circled in red the coordinating notes. So if you ever were to see this D written on a piece of staff, that is actually the open D string. And where is that open D string? Well, it is right here. And so here are the six notes E, A, D, G, B, E and that is how you would play them. So let us just jump right into our first little drill.
Here are three notes. There is your treble clef. Here are the three notes, A, C and E. If you were to play them together, that is your chord or if you are going to play them separately, that is referred to as arpeggio. Arpeggio is nothing more than just a broken chord. Whereas this a complete chord. So now where would you find these three notes? So here you have as you might know from the earlier tutorials, this note here is F this is A, this is C and this is E. So if you were to see this chord on a piece of music A, C, and E, the way you would play it is you will have to find out where this A is first. We are going to go back to this drawing here. This A is actually on the G string and it is over here. Here is your G and then there is your A.
So, when you see this A, it is actually this A. When you see this E, this open E, it is actually this open E string here. So let us take this three notes A,C and E and here you have it A, C and E. Going from here to here is going up on a piece of music. So this is low, these are low notes and then if I were to take it all the way up to see the notes get higher, higher and higher, these notes are higher. And so this G you will notice is not the same as this G because this G right here is this G and this G is this G. I hope I am not confusing you too much. But just so you know, here is the notes. We are going to go back here and look at this. So here, we have the notes on the guitar. And what if we were to take this note here and play it?
That is great but now, you have to know what note this is. Well, I am going to cheat real quick and just write it out for you. That is a D. And the way that you know it is because this note top here is a D – because remember, in the space it says F-A-C-E. And so this note before E and after C is D. So here is D, if it goes up one, it is E. If it goes back down one, it is back to D. If it goes down one again, it is C and if it goes one again, it is B. It just continues. This will be C. This will be C so you can kind of get a feel for what is going on here.
D, E, D, C, B, C, C and I will write this right here in A. So now let us take these notes and find out how to play them on th
