What does it mean when someone is saying a minor third.?

[gr8bluesgtr]

It is the third note in the minor scale, one half step below the third note in the major scale.

[JaimeRayClapton]

If you are playing in standard tuning you are still playing in g flat, just from a different position....if you play it in the same position as the dude playing with a guitar tuned down a half step you will be playing in g....if you are in standard tuning, back it up to the second fret.

[gr8bluesgtr]

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

[VictorAldecoa]

Which strings are you using?

[gr8bluesgtr]

Right now I'm using GHS Boomers, not thrilled about them, actually looking to try other strings. My gauges run from 11 to 48 or something like that.

[SMGuitar93]

dude those strings are HUGE!!!!!

[JohnLadas1973]

lolz i meant G ...you almost need two guitars , one tuned at 440 and one at 1/2 step down ..then get a third for open G hahaha

[4sixLostSouls]

magnetic pick-ups respond better to the greater mass(metal) in heavy strings for that over-D tone "More mass" not wimpy = More Ballz in my way of thinking

@TommyDai1 i believe theyre 12s

[DecemberSean]

Would I be a weak and total tool, if I asked for.... (watch out) ......tabs??? ha

I am soft I know. But... I just see better with.... well my eyes. I am a newb, so I am over my head trying to play SRV. But I figure. If I am going to eat, I want filet Mignon. If I am going to like women, I want Megan Fox, (or whoever you like) if I am going to like guitar, I like SRV!!!! I guess I could get software :(

[TommyDai1]

omg huge strings are those 12s or 13s

[hawg427]

11-48 are not huge for Blues playing. Mine are 11-48 or 50 and feel good to do bends. When I went down to 10's they felt ok. When my EB John Petrucci JP-6 arrived it had EB 9's on it stock. I felt like I could bend it all the way to the low E. LOL 9's are good for Metal I guess but not Blues. Not as good a Tone out of them. Talk about thick, my Martin HD-28 came with Martin Coated 13's for the High E. now that will build up your finger strength on an acoustic guitar. Makes my 11's feel light.

Wow man, u rock I knew that position for 20 years but not that lick

cool ass shit man

[blzbass]

@gr8bluesgtr Try DR. Pure Blues strings...you'll think you have deid and gone to string heaven...try thr 10's, less work for the same tone and they don't seem to break...just sing!

[KINGSLIDEGUITAR]

@SMGuitar93 12;are great..I use (not even slinkys),, heavy is better,,I tried 11's and lost tone and punch.. let her rip potato chip!

[halloweenfiend666]

I'd be cool to see someone doing some videos like these for bass guitar.

[zoso1944]

A minor third is an interval, which is comprised by two notes, the number of whole/half steps (or frets) between the two notes determines which interval it is. A minor third is A to C and the like.
