ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
So many guitar players put off learning the notes on the fretboard because it seems daunting. In this lesson, I break down a simplified method that focuses on learning one string at a time, using the major scale as your guide rather than confusing fretboard charts. We then dive into what I believe is the most important step: learning your intervals and triads. These are the building blocks of all music, and understanding how to find them all over the neck is the key to breaking out of your simple "cowboy chord" shapes.
Next, we cover the three scales every player needs to know inside and out: the major scale, the major pentatonic, and the minor pentatonic. I'll show you how to see the triads that exist inside these scale shapes, which is the key to targeting chord tones and making your solos more musical. Finally, we talk about the most important step of all: applying these concepts to real music by learning and writing your own songs. Learning theory is like learning grammar, but learning songs is how you become a great storyteller.
