Everybody, this is Brian Holman, from Between Lex Zacka. We will give you another free guitar lesson today. Today, is not really going to focus on the tune the guitar it is in just basic music. And I do this because I see a lot of friends of mine have, do not picking up guitar they basically spend all there time looking at tabs and really just learning songs without really knowing what to playing which is find and that tune I do but I always like to knowing what was going on behind the sense. So today, I am going to teach you three vital musical lessons just some concepts that will help you move from that tab guitars to a real musician. Yo0u know full pledge me. So a great way to do this would be to check out the website. And, we have,. I have full less full tab with all this staff and it would really help you be able to like to look at it at the same time. And first concept is basically the major scale that is, that is pretty much the first concept. Understanding the major scale as a foundation for pretty much all music. All music pretty much just knobs major scales and is built from that. So let us start with just a C major scale. And would this go up and I will tell you the notes here we go C (guitar demonstration) D (guitar demonstration) E (guitar demonstration) F(guitar demonstration) G (guitar demonstration) A (guitar demonstration) B (guitar demonstration) C and then you can keep going up at you want. And that is pretty much and then we number them 1(guitar demonstration) 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and we keep going up 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 which the hardest is inactive of one. That is basically it that is all you know so basically if you can count you are ready for the next thing which is building cords from the major scale and basically you have got path to the cord which are major, minor cords, like your dominant 7th , your minor dominant 7th those are both noted just with the 7th or the M7th and the way that they pretty much build this basically using those notes as intervals. The major scale is the 1, the 3, and 5th of what ever the scale are herein for that, that a particular cord. First as seem C Major cord you use the CF major scale and you go 1(guitar demonstration), 2, 3, 4, and 5, 1, 3 5 and that is your cord that is it. For your minor ou use your major scale again, but it would be a flattered so 1(guitar demonstration), 2, 3, but it is flat a flat 3 and then 5 and that is it you minor cord, and dominant 7th are flat 7th, okay. And they are considered like this. There re like this one 1(guitar demonstration), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then 7 but it is flattered and then back up to the root there. So it is 1(guitar demonstration), 3, 5 and flat 7. That is it is you sound of cord. That is total of this and if you want to do minor 7, 1 flat (guitar demonstration) 3, 5, and 7 that is pretty much the entire way to make a cords. You can use any pretty much any complicated cord can be basically done by these. Hint by numbers source since the way do it. As in the numbers really telling you what paint to use. In this case, the number is basically tell you what notes to put into your cord and if you want to do you know G. G down at 7th you just have to think in G major scale of 1 (guitar demonstration) and then flat a t 7th (guitar demonstration). That is after so basically it can be pretty much move anywhere the same cause if it is. Is that so much been able to practice at try at first because this up will make you better musician overnight and will make you, you know better musician over time. So basically, the concept is as long as you know. It is a good start and the last concept is to think for cord progressions and a relative manner instead of absolute. No I say that because I love time that there like oh well deep in the 7th , G7 C major 7, and an A minor 7 which is great at all because I know what cord to play. But say like oh I do not want that key does not work because you know I can sing that high. Or whatever, whatever reason are we playing with the a saxophone and that key really weird for them so we want to move to something different you want to do it, you want to do it, what it say that cord progression and a relative manner using Roman numeral or numbers to basically to say what note of the scale for the key that you are in. That you want that cord to be. So like this is in C major the D would be the second 1, 2, so that would be a 2minor scale. Right one II in Roman numeral and then you want to do the 5 so it is the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as the G so that is F5 or V cord 5 cord and then you go up to the C which is the high cord of the root and then you will go down to the E minor which is the 6 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and that is VI cord or the 6th cord basically that help she move from pretty much any key you want. Just removes keys basically, when you think with that way. I mean you have (guitar demonstration). I mean you can move anywhere. If you think over that way and a guitar agree for that you can just slide and play anywhere you want and that going to be the same thing just as in different key. And that is really the basic idea is to take all the staff and removed key as remove notes and turn it into kind of numbers and it is really simple just counting and there is no you know Math, no adding nothing. Just count so that is really great way to move on to that next level to staff playing and you have just want you have learn and really know what your are playing. And make up your own staff it is very well. Thanks for joining me. I love once again you want to check out the website and it just have this full tabs full explanation for this.
