The first part is about rhythm, basic harmony, Ology chords, and some techniques to help you to play nirvana in other songs as well. Rhythm is the most important thing. Please pay attention to the arrows. When you see arrow, try to speak it louder, for example. This is going to help your brain understand the rhythm better. Remember that you can always change the speed of the video according to your music skill level. Think that. 4. How to find & memorize the notes on the guitar fretboard: Learn the notes on the threat board is one of the most important things you can do when learning the guitar. First steps about tuning. String number one is string from this our first note is if I play threat number one minus note is the next one. Let's check another example. String number two is a string. If I play string two will sound like B. However, if I play string number two, threat one minus note is C, brew three D. One takes time to memorize the threat board, so don't worry about that, just keep practicing. 5. How to read tabs and chord box: The first thing that you need to know is how to read card box. This show you where to put your fingers on the fingerboard to play cards. The six vertical lines represent the six strings. The string on the furthest left is the thickest string. The two lines at the top of the box represent the nut, the plastic bone or a metal piece that these strings go through on the headstock. And the rest of the horizontal lines represents the threats. The dots represent the places where you put your left hand fingers, and they are numbered to show which finger you use. Number one is the index finger, two is the middle finger, three is the ring finger, and four is your pinky little finger. If you have played the piano, make sure you don't get confused. Piano finger numbering is completely different. Guitar players generally don't use the left hand tums. Guitar tab, or Guitar tablature is a way of writing music specifically for guitar. And it's perfect for those that do not read music and in many cases offers more information than the writing notation. Anyway, Tab has six horizontal lines that represent the six strings on the guitar. The top line is the tiniest string and the lowest line represents the thickest string. The numbers that are placed on the lines tell you what threat you play a note. You will only ever play the strings with numbers on. If a string has no number, don't play it does. Zero means that a string is played open with no finger pressing down the string on the threats. 7. Music Intervals - Formulas: Music Intervals are very important for Music. Even more important is understanding and being able to apply. First, I need to explain this table to you. Note that we have several numbers. These numbers are the formulas. Let's take an example. Major second. It's from number one, number two, major third number one, number three interval of fourth, F number one, number 4.1 Very easy, right? Now, the minor intervals. With this, you will fly the flats minor second 1-2 But following the formula, let's set a flat, so we have from one to the second flat. Let's check another example. Minor third from one to number three. Flat diminished fifth from number one to flat five, and so on. 8. Music intervals tricks on the fretboard: Now it's time to learn a few musk intervals on fret board. Yes. Now, time to break on a guitar. You already learned about a fury, but now it's time to play. So let's go. So the first short cut is you can find a fifth interval in your public chord. You already learned public chord also, right? So public chord is a very common chord in rock and roll. You can play like 1.5 So this interval right here, this position is my fifth interval. So I'm going to play A, so 1.5 You can play this in every single tons, For example, B F sharp, 1.51 and 5.1 You can do the same thing in other strings also. 1.5 1.55 And you can keep doing this in every single string, okay? The second shortcut is to 88 interval 1.8 is the same nodes. However, it is a little bit higher, right? The sound sounds really higher. So 11 is the same position. You also can play with finger number three, okay? However you need to remember to don't play this string in the middle, all right? So it's string number 55 thing. If you play everything you need string number six, like six, don't play stringer number five and it goes to four, okay? So if interval, my shortcut for you and measure third is a very important interval. For example, one in the string number six, fret five. And measure third is a string number five, fret four, okay? Measure third, measure third, measure third. The same thing playing here is here is and D. I don't need to think, oh man, I need to learning all the notes on the fret board, you just need to remember this kind of shortcut, okay? If you remember this, you can play every single interval like this, all right? So the measure third, okay? So minor third. It's one and almost the same thing. You want to play here half step before this. And it's a kind of, you can change your finger, it's going to be easy, right? So it's finger number 33 can do this in every single key again. You can also go to our other strings. String number 51, flattery, flattery, and so on. Okay, so remember this interval is very important. One major third, one minor again, one major third major interval. One in a minor minor internal. That's why when you play a major board, you have this major interval right here. All right? So it's a type of board you already learn and it's easier to understand. You should use as example, a minor second interval. Minor second interval is really easy. It's a half step ahead. Your flat short, for example, and so on. You can use this, every single key as well, and every single string, all right? It's going to be much more easy. However major second it's going to be one whole step ahead, F sharp. Let's change or string, all right, so you don't play this threat right here and play the next one. It's a whole step ahead. Last shortcut for you guys is the fourth interval. So it's one in four. It's the same threat. However, in a different string, fret number five, string number six, fret number five, string number 514, you can do the same thing. You are the strings one in four. Same thing here. G and C, 1.4 all right? And so one intervals are very important. If then you can play cards very quickly and improve your improvisation. So you need to practice this, okay? So choose a few intervals and try to find on your fret board. 9. Major and minor chords: First of all, I'm going to teach you how to understand all the cord parts in fury and part's going to be practicing, okay? So first of all we have a E major scale. Okay? E, F sharp. G sharp. A, B, C sharp, and sharp. However, if I want to do a major chord, I'm going to take notes number 135, just 13.5 Okay, the three notes of major chord. Next example, let's think about all the scale. Let me see, A major, A, B, C sharp, D, E, F sharp, and G sharp. It's the same thing. Take notes number 13.5 and you're going to have your major chord simple like that. A minor chord 13.5 However, now you're going to have A C, E. Okay? Mm. 10. How to memorize more than 23 major and minor chords E shape (1): Now it's time to play every single measure and minor chords in string number six. We are going to apply measure, guitar shape. You're already learning how to play measure. You have two options you can play with these fingers or these other fingers. In these examples, I prefer if you play with the fingers. Okay. It will be easy to understand. String number six, open string, finger number three, thread two, string five, String number four, threat 24, last one, finger number two, string number three, thread one. You can play everything from this string. The second string string, the first string will be open as well. The idea here is to think every single time if I play Mas right here, and I want to go a half step ahead, I'm going to have F major. However, we have a little problem right here, my open strings, okay? That's why I got to put my finger number one. The next threat you can hold, every single string will be a barrel cord. It's the same thing if I think like this. A ghost threat right here. All right? F one half step ahead. F sharp one half step ahead. And you can keep doing this. Let's practice. For example, if I want to play a major, stop the video right now and try to find a major chord. Applying this measure technique, if you play exactly the right notes, you're going to find right here in the middle of your guitar. Okay, so let's count. Measure one step ahead, measure F sharp, measure, measure, sharp, measure, measure. Another example, try to find measure, or you're going to find measured right here. F number seven, measure sharp measure, measure, sharp measure, measure a sharp measure. And major can do this step by step in every single key. Last example, let's try to find a sharp measured. You can play exactly right here. Fred number nine, let's count is chord F sharp. Sharp. Sharp sharp. Now it's time to find a minor chord. It's exactly the same idea. However, with a minor chord, you already know how to play in. However, I would like to give you a little short cut. Try to play with these two fingers right here. We're going to be easy to understand. Everything will be open strings. All right. However, finger number three, you need to play Fred number two, string five, finger number four, thread two string number four. You can imagine a Ghost threat right here. I have step ahead. We're going to have minor. However, we have a little issue about open strings. So this quarter will be minor. Have step ahead, sharp minor. And you can keep doing this. All right? So we need to to play all the strings. All right? It's a difficult chord for beginners. Let's try a few examples and see if you understand really well a minor chord. Where can I play a minor chord? You should play exactly the right notes. You are going to play right here. F number five, minor minor, F sharp minor minor, sharp minor minor chord. Where can I play B minor chord if you play exactly the right notes are going to play right here in Fred number seven, minor minor, F sharp minor minor, minor minor, sharp minor minor. The last example, let's try to find sharp minor will be a little bit difficult, but the idea is the same, exactly the right notes you're going to find right here in front number 11 in the end of your fret board. So let's count minor minor, F sharp minor, minor, sharp, minor minor. A sharp minor, minor, minor, sharp minor minor. Finally, sharp minor. Try to apply this technique in practice a lot. In one or two weeks, you'll probably be playing every type of measure in minor. 11. How to memorize more than 23 major and minor chords very quickly (A shape) (1): Now it's time to find several chords applying a guitar shape. What do you mean with that? If you play a major chord, you can repeat the same guitar shape step by step in that board. A major chord. I'm going to play string number five. Open string finger number one, F two, string four. Finger number two. That two, string three and finger number three, threat string two. If I play one half step ahead, I'm going to play a sharp major. However, I have a little problem, my open string, so I need to change this guitar shape. You can play like this, same guitar shape, whoever with finger 23.4 Okay, With my finger number one supposed open string. Okay. Now I have a sharp major, applying the same guitar shape as a measure. You can play a measure like this as well. However, we are going to have an open string. You can imagine a ghost frat right here, right? A measure, a sharp measure. One half step ahead. Same thing. Measure, and you can't keep doing this. All right? Let's, you already learned a guitar shape. Try to find measure. All right, Measure, We know here, however, applying the idea of this a guitar shape. Okay, this video. And try to find, if you play exactly the right notes, you're going to have a sharp sharp. And finally, D major. All right? It's very important to pre with me. Let's try other example, Try to find a C sharp major. Same idea here. All right, we need to count this string number five is a string count until you find C sharp. Pass this video and try to do this example. If you play correctly, the C sharp measure will be in fred number four. A sharp, B, C and C sharp measure. Okay? You can play like this or you can change your three fingers and play like this. Same thing. Okay? Example, try to find an F sharp. If you play exactly the right notes, you're going to find right here in the end of my Fred number nine. Let's count. Sharp, sharp, Sharp, sharp measure. I play my in fret number nine. Your finger number one will be the most important thing. All right, let's do the same thing. However, in mind, you already know how to play a minor chord, right? The idea here is to use the same step by step. However, with a minor chord. A minor, you can imagine, goes right here in the end of my fret board, right? I'm going to apply this guitar shape to the other examples. If a minor is here, a sharp minor is right here. Minor step ahead minor, step ahead minor. And you can keep doing this. Let's play the same extra side. Stop this visual right now and try to find a minor chord. Applying this guitar shape, if you play exactly the right notes, you are going to play right here. Brater, seven minor. Let's count minor, A sharp minor, minor minor, sharp minor, minor minor. Let's find minor chord. Stop the video and try to find it. You should play exactly the right notes. You're going to play right here, thread number three. A minor, sharp minor, minor minor. It's very important to practice type of exercise. Probably one or two weeks we're going to be able to play every kind of measure in minor for the whole board. Next example, sharp minor. Stop this video and play right. Now if you play exactly the right notes, you're going to find right here, D sharp minor. Threat number six, minor, sharp minor, minor minor. C sharp minor. D minor. D sharp minor. 12.

We have power chords in the tire song. If you don't remember power chords like this, you can play like this. Or your pinky in this case is thread number three, string number five. Finger one, Finger number three, string number four, threat five. The last note is my finger number four, threat number five, string number three. You need to pick the strings of your fingers. 543. You're going to repeat the same guitar shaping in every single part of your neck. The first one come back to, you can play like this is the same thing. As you can see is really the same thing. All right. However, my advice for you guys is play like this, it's going to be easier and faster, okay? This part of your finger and fred number two, stringing number 4.3 obviously. Pick string number 54.3 you need to start with string number five, okay? We just have 43 chords, to be honest, right? C, F, N, for this song, rhythm part C, you're going to do this rhythm. So again, same thing enough coming back to C 1.2 okay? The last measure, down, up, down, up, okay? So, be careful at this part to your cars. You have the cards, You can improvise a little bit of rhythm. I don't want to give you every step by step because it's important to work your ears, you can improvise a little bit, all right? So it's important Music to practice everything you learned in rhythm. A little shortcut for you guys is stretch to sing the melody in. Play the rhythm for example. 13.

I'm going to teach you to play all the power chords very quickly. Okay? Power cord. Just have one guitar shape. Nine, 9% of the case. Okay? So this power cord, this guitar shape from this, you have finger number one, fret number five, string number six, finger number three, fret number seven, string number five, and finger number four. Fret number seven is string number four. Okay. In this example, you have 151518 is the same thing as one, but what do you mean with these numbers, Gabriel? It's 151 of a measure or a minor scale, okay? From this you can play with your pinky or down your pinky, the same nodes, all right? Okay, so in this example we have a measure. Y is a measure because this first node is A. All right, so if you count with me, according to our tuning is F, F sharp sharp, that's why this is a P. Right right here. We have a sharp power chord. Okay, right here, power chord. And you can keep count like this in the string number six and in the string number five, it's the same thing, okay? From this, let's play the Music The first power chord is power chord. If you think you have another threat, right here is a ghost that you have power chord. Check the subs, the same guitar shape that I play here. All right? It's the same thing. However, if I count my ghost, that all right, so this is the first chord you can play like this or like this. All right? So just pick three strings, 565.4 right? So this is the first power chord. The second power chord is power chord. Power chord. So it's the same thing as A and B. However, in the fret number three, the power chord number three is D. Okay? In this example I play in the string number five, fret number five. The most important thing is check the string and the number of the threat, okay? Tar shape is exactly the same. In this example, when I play in the string number five, I play strings number 543. All right? In the last power chord of the first part is C chord. In the F number three string number five. All right, let's think about rhythm.

Okay, Down once and again. Down, down. Okay. Car number 32 times, Peak two times. So let's play everything together. Two, all right, So the last part is 123, okay? This last 123 is a little bit faster. So let's play everything together. Check this out very slowly. Down 12123, once again, down two to three, okay? This is the first part. Second part, first chord is D, F number five, string number five. Second chord, you already know this chord as well. So F number three is string number five. Framber three, string number six in sharp or flat number six. String number six of the same guitar shaping. The rhythm is one times in the, in the. All right? So one to three, it's down. And the next part is up, down, right? So I'm going to play very slowly check this out. Down, down, right. Once again, down, down, down. The next two chords is exactly the same thing, down, down.

F number three in the board part right here in the F number five. Take strings number 43 in two or you can play three fingers like this, but I think it's easier with three fingers. Next part is minor chord and the last part is chord. But this is a little bit different. I played out my finger number one. Okay. The chords are very easy. I'm going to play this chord session during the entire song, but the most important part is the ridden session. It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, okay? As you can see this 345, I play with my alternating picking 345 and play the chords the down, okay? One more time, Two times, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, okay? You can repeat the same pattern to G chord if you play everything together. It's going to sound very similar to the males, like hesper, isn't it? But it's important to listen to the song and take by this difference. Okay, so let's go to 52. To 52, okay? This session you're going to play during the entire song. But the second part you're going to play with a pages. It's going to sound like this, right? You have a open string F number two, string number three. Number string number three open. It's kind of C major Pj. All right? So fret number three, threat number two, open. You play string number 56 open. All right? So it's going to sound like this one more time, all right? The next part is minus F number two, string number four. F number five on string sorry, fret number two, string number five. Then we have G core. So it's going to sound like this. The lower part of a right genes frag number 3.2 So you play on the string number 65, an open string on the strings number 34, Okay? Fair play. Everything very low is going to sound like this, okay? It's important to let the strings ringing. All right, So this is the part. But we have a bridge as well during this song, right? So we had C sharp, so the melon of the bridge is something like that I'm not going to sing, but just just give you some idea of the melo because it sing terribly. So let's go. All right, and you start from the top. As you can see we have C sharp sharp measure. If you can play with the board core of the or with the two fingers mas coreferent guitar shape. The same shape however in the number one as you can see, play with a board. Sure to play on the acoustic guitar, you can play the red, it's you and this last part you stay in.

So you have a first pattern and the second pattern right here. Begin in F number three, okay? Lou's going to fit perfectly in the solo, all right. Same thing right here, flat seven or seven. And the first nodes D flat, okay? 65 of our minor scales. Part of the soul. He keeps playing in F minor scale. However you can, you can easily see the is exactly the string number three of the lion mode. All right? If you try to add a note that is not from minor scale, it's gonna sound really weird. Check this out really weird, right? It's not going to sound so good. I add a note, so it's a measure third instead of a flat that is a minor third. The song is in minor, so you need to apply a minor third interval, a measure third interval, A minor third and a major third. It's going to sound really strange. And the last part is, it's a minor second minor second flat flat flat. Why he finished with F? F is the tone of the song, minor, okay? When you are composing a solo or Cada arrangement, or even improvising, you need to think the main three notes wrote. So this is the first notes of your scale. Third measure tour or minor and fifth, okay? So most of the leaks in the smelling spirit begins or finish in 13 or five of the co. All right. I hope you enjoy this class and let's keep learning.
