[UWangksie]

inharmonic what??? i forgot hahahaha

[Lesrevil08]

This is confusing, what if I ran over something sharp with my car, then I would get a flat?

[DawgFL]

Wow this was crazy helpful.

[xincheng12138]

Hi Justin, one question for your lesson. What are those BC- xx,x IM- xxx and TB-xxx?

[ecthoranis]

@xincheng12138 @xincheng12138 They are categories to help keep things organized. BC is beginner's course, IM is intermediate method, and TB is the basics.

[nalteng]

Thanks mate! You are a good teacher.

[IchigoIsaSoulReaper]

No Justin. My brain has not exploded.

[IFrancyISantosI]

the english B is the german H

the german B is the english Bb/ A#

quit confusing but most germans know when you talk about your b

if you think this is helpful thumb up, so other beginners can see it

[sanelkozarcanin]

I`m a beginner and I really want you to know that your lessons help me so much in my playing. so Justin thank you all the way from Sweden. // Sanel

[redjagstang7]

Justin, you're so awesome! First time i've watched this video and although it seemed very complicated the first time i looked at it, i got it. You've explained it really well(Y) thanks :)

[jacobofunlivion]

I wish you were my guitar teacher.

[mathew200000]

Justin you are a legend, thankyou so much, great way to remember sharps and flats. Just sat on something sharp and it made me jump up but I must have also driven over it cos the tyre got a flat and went down......

[GR8FL2U]

Thanks Justin!! Very well Done!!

[Arront147]

Good info a bit confused at the start but got it the second time thanks!

[pranavk851997]

M getting confused......wat comes first chords or notess?????guyz plzz help me

[komani86]

@pranavk851997 a note is picking ONE string on ONE fret.

a chord is picking THREE (or more) strings on (possibly) SEVERAL frets.

But if you dont understand this, maybe you should go to a guitar teacher, and get a few lessons :)

[pranavk851997]

@komani86 dude I Know the Difference between notes and chords ..I was confused cuz I was Thinkin how can a chord cum bfore a note ......

[komani86]

@pranavk851997 OH, I think I understand what you are asking. I hope this clarifies:

Chord NAMES are formed by the ROOT note, the G chord has its ROOT (2nd finger) on the 6th (or E) string on the G note.

The C chord has its ROOT (3rd finger) on the 5th (or A) string on the C note.

You have like 20-22x6 positions, which is 120-132 notes on the board. There are tricks to remember the positions fast tho.. So the basics are single notes on every fret of every string, I guess..

[ThaThing1337x]

@komani86

a chord can contain 2 notes =/

[komani86]

@ThaThing1337x True, my bad.. :) You can class 2 notes as an interval or as an chord indeed.. I'm not sure lol. The dudes question was a bit weird I guess and me gots confused..

[ThaThing1337x]

@komani86

haha, you're forgiven ;p

[ddmr7]

Thanks!

[mimlexable]

this is too technical..but tnx nyway.

[pranavk851997]

7 notes ???? on his website its written 12 notes.

[MrKiller5617]

thanks alto j

[MrKiller5617]

thanks alot j

[CRpianoman]

that sharp thing is funny

[MakeMeNakey]

thank you thank you you are amazing



[Duquelicious360]

NIEN!

[thereoncewasafrisbee]

Why isn't there any semi-tones between B and C and E and F ?

[mbrotation]

@thereoncewasafrisbee its because Bsharp and Cnatural fall on the same fret (for guitar, same key for piano) and Cflat and Bnatural fall on the same place as well. Same story for E and F, this is more apparent with a piano because there are no black keys between C and B, or E and F

[thereoncewasafrisbee]

@mbrotation Hmmm. But whyy ?! Why is this the case. How comes cflat and bnatural are the same, how did that ever comes to be like that ?! Sorry to be annoying, Im just intrigued.

[MarcusBritish]

@thereoncewasafrisbee That's a bit like asking why red, green and blue are the 3 primary colours.. why not yellow, or brown. And then you have to look into the scientific reasons, light spectrums, etc.

Music is the same - some things are just worth accepting. If you really want to know the reasons, learn the mathematics of music, wavelengths, 440Hz, etc. But you might find it spoils the fun of just enjoying and playing music for what it is.

In short: colours and sounds are perceived things.

[tzeolotltenamaxtli]

Hello Justin.

It's been a while since I last wrote to you, but I keep watching your vids, they have made a real difference in the way I play nowadas, thanks so much.

saludos desde Puebla, Mexico

[richyrich00100]

@tzeolotltenamaxtli don t reply. donate u morone

[richyrich00100]

@tzeolotltenamaxtli 

[Pac2011]

I'd keep on learning difficult songs from youtube without even knowing chords and basic music theory without these great lessons. Thanks Justin!

[draiman2000]

Justin makes his lessons soooo easy to understand... I've had a few guitar instructors who have made it sooo confusing, so I taught myself... With alot of help from Justin's website and youtube videos

[Ashitaka255]

so true.

[Ronnieleej]

Thanks for making me understand that I never could before :)

[tzeolotltenamaxtli]

It is true that in all europe and middle and south america notes are called not by letters but by names, like DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI... but at least in Mexico we use both of them, we know that C and Do are the same thing.

[jjuanml22]

Yeah I always wondered why sometimes songs would show up like that... It all makes sense now.. I guess it would benefit to learn the DOREMI names as it could help in the long run. You're open to more song possibilities.

[meskagmail]

H=B i all pro soviet countries is calld H=B b=h it couse some countries dont have B letter in ALFABET,

by the way , in all europe and middle and south america  notes are called not by letters but by names, like DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI... , so your lesson fits only for USA, AUSTRALIA AND, GB.!

so justint your

[VarashTR]

*Alphabet*

[kosairox]

here in poland, B is called H ;p

[fredrikjh]

[MrFanshuz]

[0486eric]

Absolutely! Thanks Justin

[heyzuz23]

justin is a real cool guy... teaching guitar lessons... thats pretty cool of him... THANKS JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hellacool66]

i love JUSTIN :P

hes a bit of a ledgend :)

[AbbeyNO]

We use H i Norway aswell. It's really confusing

[najtrows]

in sweden we use both

[mmarranufo]

REally? what notes do you use in a H chord???

[AbbeyNO]

It's actually just a B chord. You just say H instead of B :P

[thecore12345]

I bought that book a week ago ish.

F-ing Awesome justin!

[Erikkoene]

Enharmonic equivilant!

[ThaNicks]

Never seen someone explaining this with so much enthousiasm, great !!

Thanx, 2 thumbs up!!

[MohamedTheWise]

you r really an angle u made it all easy i used to think it is like chinesse or something really thanks again

[Shisho2k]

I still wonder the reason why it wasn't made to go from A to F#, having B to B# and E to E# instead of:

B# and E# being a C and F,

Cb and Fb being a B and E,

while making a G and G#

A A# B B# C C# D D# E E# F F# (12 notes)

VS

A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# (12 notes)

[kev4naru]

It's because of the major scale. For example, imagine they (whoever invented the theory) decided that the music should have 12 notes. Then they played the notes until they found that if you start on one note (the root) and then played going up a: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone, it sounded good. They decided to call this seven note scale a Major Scale.

[kev4naru]

So for example (I don't know if it happened like this) when the piano was made, they made it based on the C Major Scale. So they decided to name the seven notes C D E F G A B. But what happens with the notes in between? They decided to make the black keys (so you can navigate the piano easier than having all the keys white) and the name these black keys according to the white keys they were between.

[kev4naru]

So between the note C and the note D there is a black key, they named it C# / Db (C-sharp or D-flat). And between the note D and the note E there is a black key so it's named D# / Eb (D-sharp or E-flat). But between the notes E and F there is not a black key so there is a semitone between them. And etc.... You can memorize that there is no note between B and C, and between E and F, and the rest of the notes have sharps or flats between them, it's easier.

[ischlopischlo]

I agree that it would be more logical like that, heh.

But the reason for the irregularity is the sound of it. The irregular intervals B-C and E-F makes it more bautiful. You must have heard the singing excercise: do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, that is the major scale with it's irregularities.

[InFeRnO954]

its because G is a note as well

in your version of the notes, G isnt included and as he said before, the notes in western music are ABCDEFG, not ABCDEF as you basically stated another reason is that there is no such thing as a B# or an E# dont ask me y but your version includes these notes wen technically they only exist as C and F as you said and all of the # notes sound like "half notes" to me anyway, i guess the notes were named just the way they sounded at the time, just my opinion

[jx14aby]

Thanks for the lesson.

[harrisezzat]

Isn't the whole "tone" business is also known as half and whole steps right?

[javadude54]

Most music we will hear in the West uses what are known as "Diatonic" scales. Those are scales that have both half steps (Semitone) and whole steps (tone). The scale Justin is demonstrating is a diatonic scale, and also a heptatonic scale (contains 7 notes). Other scales that are used in popular music are the chromatic (all the notes from A to G#) and the pentatonic scale (no half-steps and contains 5 notes). If you sit at a piano and only play the black keys, that's a pentatonic scale.

[TheSpartanfan]

Yes.

[SteveyW0nder]

This video helped me understand this much better than any other webpage/video has. Thanks a lot!

[RikoOnline]

lol it sounds like in Germany(and some other countries) we have more notes than elsewhere.

For those who are wondering:

We just use the letter 'H' instead of the letter 'B'. That's all.

[WELTAS007]

in europe they used another way with the notes thats why when you lern to play guitar somewhere in Europe is different like in America

[Erfa90]

It's actually not only Germany. It was a misread of an old paper some time that created the confusion I think.

People who play classical piano usually still use "H", because that's the traditional approach.

[flyhead2]

Beethoven, Mozart and Bach simply didn't have clue, did they?

[metallicamustaine]

i'm dutch and whe alway's make a laughter about german people. especially at the European and World cup soccer

[centrum2k4]

I think the Germans might have a few more reasons to laugh than you - how many times did you guys win again?

[fossoil]

Thanks for all you do Justin

[JamleSalisbury]
