Rock guitar lessons the 3 Octave Aeolian Scale - with Rob Chappers

[BER2ERKER]

...Because I learned the standard two octave C maj and A min first, to play the whole neck with relatives (resolve in mind); so I think of 1,3,4 as the minor shape always.

[BER2ERKER]

Why would 1,2,4 be the "minor shape"? I always think of 1,3,4 as the "minor shape".

[DEATHBYGUMMYWORMZ]

you sir, have a very trust worthy beard. i shall follow your instructions closely. xD

[Mash12324]

That Gibson Flying V is awesome...i have that too.

[hankthetankluna]

what kind of PRS is that?

[Zomgasm]

Fuck yes, you look like Smee from Hook! \m/ Ò.Ó \m/

[domovmladezeable]

thanks bro , know I can play it with your help. Have a great time for the rest of your life. Jahed

[ellenlewitt]

thank you!!!! looking for this kind of thing for a long while

[atypicallovestory21]

one of the best teacher!! Thank you

[YnoTtfg]

3:43 thought he was gunna start playing welcome to the jungle

[johndawson420]

nice teaching...its funny watching him mess with the volume knob haha.

[1KFree]

Rob, the way you teach the scale shape down the neck is awesome. It's perfect for the way I aproach learning guitar... Thank you Brother!!!!

[maaraa01]

Rob!you have very very very good teaching skills!

Standard tuning 6 string - 4 shifts 3 frets each - no location shift between 3rd and 4th string.

[Atmost11]

What was I thinking, standard tuning 6 string - 4 shifts of 3 frets each - 5 total locations, its symmetrical, a 7 note scale for example ionion would be 7 times 2 plus 1 making 15 patterns thats 3 patterns in each position.

[Atmost11]

2 types of 3 octave mapping - one is to shift before touching next string and the other is to shift after touching the next string - those are just the 2 main choices for a consisten mapping rule that one can use - ascending shift then touch pattern will be the same as the descending touch then shift and the opposite of the descending shift then touch etc. In 7-string m3 tuning there are 4 positions - for the 4 fingers - on standard tuning 4 plus the extra ghost finger fret pattern.

[Atmost11]

7 string major third tuning, shift 2 frets 6 times, easier mapping than regular tuning, pattern positioning can be symmetric for example: pentatonic scale is 5 notes, thats 11 patterns - 6 shifts of 2 frets each means 7 positions - a symmetric map is the same up as down like play 1-2-2-1-2-2-1 those are number of patterns to play at each of the 7 locations. A root plus 2 notes arpeggio is 3 times 2 plus 1 equal 7 patterns - 7 locations - 1 stop each location - - major third tuning 7 string!!

[Atmost11]

6 string reguar tuning, shift 2 frets 2 frets 4 frets 2 frets 2 frets - start index end index, start middle end middle, start ring end ring, start pinky end pinky. # of notes in arpeggio times 2 plus 1 total modes to play to cover 3 octaves. 5 shifts 6 positions. For Ex. Pentatonic scale 5 notes, thats 5 times 2 plus 1 thats 11 1 octave mode patterns. 6 locations, 11 patterns - map a path - unfortunately it wont be symmetric because even number of locations.

Mr. Chappers , Ive been surfing and youtubing for good guitar lessons ever since the 56k modem was one of the tops..

From Yngwee, over to DVDs like rock method , petrucci's dvd, paul gilbert, etc, etc.

Only to sort of , like take it all, drop it in , mix it up, and find my own self in it, if you see what I mean.

The vids you provide, are more than helpfull and interesting, luckily there are quite a few to be viewed..

Fantastic video Rob, I love the way you explained the scale. It was very easy for me to learn. Thanks so much.

[TheShizzNizz]

can someone please tell me what key this is in? thanks :)

[perseusbeatkraken]

Played once and was shredding in the 2nd and 3rd positions in seconds!! Why is it that the three note per string scales are always uber easy and full of win

[luvmycorso]

there are very few people that I follow on here, very few, he is definitely one of them...

[Cactuar72]

[DennisFors]

Weird, i never learned a scale in my life. but i knew this..

[yamitanomura]

I really enjoy your lessons !

Thanks for sharing.

[Jackko1223]

good lesson man!

A question though, why did you keep turning the volume down ? lol

[aloehart]

@Jackko1223 prevents feedback that might come from handling the guitar while he is giving the explanation.

btw rob that was a great vid. really helpful

[Videoguru184]

Is this a Bminor scale?

[barkazzaz]

@Videoguru184 A minor

I hope you're getting another PRS before you finish cutting your record. I haven't watched this video in over a year but the tone at the end is killer. I miss it. :)

[candacedp05]

[ValhallaAwaitsU]

As always, very very good lesson. Most great guitar players think they can teach just because they can shred, but you truly are an amazing player and instructor.

[Za7a7aZ]

Thanks Chappers.....I just love the lessons you give.

[wangzingee]

This lesson has WIN written all over it

[CyricRO]

Nice guitar, I used to play on one just like that all the time. Really smooth playing.

[xmusicfeverx]

That last lick sounded like one from War Pigs.

[mongobongoman]

[NikFrivilous]

Does catering mean something else in Britain or did you bring the food? :)

[RobChappers]

Chappers always brings the food... In this case Pizza :-)

[guitaristman23]

hi chappers i'm interested in playing death metal but i'm not sure what scales bands use for the unausl riffs could u please tell me?

thanks gutaristman23

[RobChappers]

You should look at Pentatonic, Whole tone, diminished, Phrygian, Aeolian and then all the Harmonic Minor scales :-)

[guitaristman23]

thanks chappers

[jawadahmad77]

I learned this by memorizing the Cmaj/Am notes on every single string, all over the neck. I just transpose the location of the notes and the shape of the boxes if I am playing over another root, like Fmaj/Dm. I practice by looping chords over a metronome and then running scales on top. Rob, I wish you were around when I first started playing - even now it is great to get a refresher from a pro like yourself!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, more to come every day :-)

[stymye]

thanks for the scale..are you still getting the ESP F series?

[BradleyJohnHunt]

cheers chapstick:P

[smp156]

i think you said in the begining that this was in the key of A. But how is it not in the key of C?

[smp156]

never mind. don't think you mentioned anything of the sort

[RobChappers]

It is mate! It is A minor, B Locrian, C Ionian (Major), D Dorian, E Phrygian, blah blah etc.. it's all of them. But I am stating that I am using A as the root, therefore I am creating 1, 2, m3, 4, 5, m6, b7 Thus A minor and not C (You were implying C major I guess) Me

[smp156]

oh fer cripe's sake!!! i think people made music theory FAR more difficult than it needs to be. why not just call this the C-major scale, but starting on the A-note?

(cue smp156 run screaming down the hallway like a mental patient)

[RobChappers]

Ha ha... Because in your mind you need to focus on all the modes it can be at once so that when the chords change underneath you, you can choose an appropriate mode. If you are just thinking C Major all the time you will play in the style of C Major.. Each mode has it's own feel, style, hot notes etc..

[amm2911]
