Theory Diatonic Harmony -Guitar Lessons for Beginners Acoustic How To Play Guitar

[wikiemol2]

When he calls me a guitar champ it makes me feel so good inside and I don't even play this instrument.

[demilovatofan2012]

i was getting into learning the guitar but i wasn't allowed to learn anymore because i was starting year 9 in september and the teachers said i need to focus on my gcse's, it's so unfair!

thanks for uploading the videos it really helps me to continue learn the guitar.

@Yno909 calm down troll. I was stating that I would like more lessons on theory.

[edbo46]

Super ! Please make a video on how to work fingers across for major scale.

[iluvawanc]

my daughter is just starting to learn acoustic (i play bass, but she wants to play guitar, i can only show her so much, she's braver than me ;-) so these videos will be great for her. much appreciated!

[clogic17]

i have that same guitar!!!

[JustHavinFun66]

O_O Im confused.. on .. how to put my fingers on it.. I looked at your other video. I tried doing that but it still doesnt sound correct! D:<

UGH D:

[Addiction747]

You didn't really tell us what "diatonic harmony" is or where it comes in... you just explained the major scale and its construction. Is diatonic scale just another name for the major scale?

[erfansvideos]

I like how you say "guitar champs" in the beginning of every video. Subconsciously helps as well as technically

[kingerdadinger]

lookn tired there haha

[neXib]

This was very well explained, understood it better than I've ever done now. Thanks again.

[hicut]

I;m strugglng with playing across the fret board with the major scales? I have no idea what to do with them

[TeamshakeNbake]

stick close to the 1 3 5 of the scale and repeat 7ths are great lead tones if your going to add color (a chromatic note) make sure it leads into a strong beat. nothing to it really

[TeamshakeNbake]

just transpose to a minor key and no matter what your going to sound good, just listen to par martino thats all he does

[ragerpez]

learn one octave of the scale, say A major for instance, and get someone to play an A major chord for you and have a little play with the scale. this is pretty much the basis for guitar solos as well as melody/vocal lines.

when your backing is playing A major chord in this instance, some notes in the A major scale will be 'stronger' (more CONSONANT) than others, at first stick with the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes in the scale then add more in as you get more confident on the fretboard

[Addiction747]

The note on the 5th fret of every string is the open note of the next string, the 6th fret is the 1st fret of the next string, the 7th the 2nd note of the next string, and so on. (the only exception is that the 4th fret of the G string is the open note of the B string). That's all you need to know to play across the fretboard.

[blablalblalblal]

Thanks!

[blablalblalblal]

Super helpful lesson!

I have a question, dunno if you read this or not but...

how to do you play across like that? the patterns that is? I get the concept of whole scale - half scale pattern, but not sure how to take it to the next level I guess. Do you memorize the pattern and then just transpose it to the next key? Is this something you could do in another lesson? :)

[yourguitarsage]

Good question. I will eventually do a lesson for this. Yes you memorize it, and then move it up and down the neck as per what key you are in.

[shygirlkd25]

thank you sooo much this helped alot because i was yhaving trouble with the diatonic harmony stuff u rock! dude thar was awsome but i wld like u to make a video on the strings and how theyr labeled and stuff and how u noe which one is which pleez

[action190]

how do i go about getting one like yours a guitar that is the YAMAHA-FJ-645A or a yamaha guitar that is like yours that they make now i really like the tone it gives.

thanks.

[action190]

hey man what brand of guitar is that ?? please tell. it sounds great.. your great!!!

[yourguitarsage]

Thanks! It's a Yamaha-FJ-645A

[action190]

hey your great what kind of guitar is that ? the black one. what brand is it ? please tell i would like to know.

thanks a lot.

[imgonnachange]

Im getting to grips with the diatonic scale, thankyou for explaining it so well! My only concern is that I can't play it as fas as you do in the video, is that okay?

[phyfodor]

I think stuff like this is much more useful than just learning how to play a song. I'd love lessons with some music theory in them :)

[6spanks9]

hey man thanks a lot for that lesson it solved a lot of my questions.i love the guys out there that try to teach this stuff in a one minute video.great job

[advil01]

"Your ear says yes i recognize that, that makes sense"

[astrodude2353]

Awesome vid, and very useful. I enjoyed it.

[kietaro100]

This is a very useful lesson, and a very IMPORTANT lesson to learn for any musician that is starting theory. I'm currently taking AP Music Theory at my school, and having knowledge of major scales, and key signatures was key to understanding most of the concepts in the class.

[telmaellos]

buen!gusto mui del escalas bravo!bjs

[renzomarrocu]

ciao amico in rete non capire cosa stia dicendo però buono lo stesso! grande!!

[Shiversong44]

[yourguitarsage]

Hahah! Thanks! That's what you get when you play guitar for a living...True bed head!

[edschumaker]

I have struggled for some time to understand the relationship of notes-harmony-scale. This is the best expanation I have ever had! I got it right away from the way you explained it. Thanks!

[taintedtemple]
