Phrygian scale, chords and how to practice it: Hello guitarist us, my name is edina and yeah, and watching the Spanish guitar hub. And today I'm going to show you how to play a very Spanish flamenco scare. And this is called Phrygian. And after this lesson, you will learn something like this. And so basically before we start to learn the scale, it is important to know how to play the scale on your right hand. And I'm using a technique called pKa Dawn. And pick add-on means that you play an alternate picking between your index and middle finger. And then you always end up on the next string. So it is like this. So we are always playing alternate picking even when you are changing strings. I know a lot of people have this kind of issue that when they are going upwards and changing strings than they are using the same thing that I used to have this problem as well, and it took me ages to correct it. But once you stick to the alternate picking, you can go very fast in the end. So at first, I would like to tell you a disease. Beef regions care because it starting from the b, which is on the right. And Dan, let's learn what is the scale. And after, either tell you what kind of courts you can use this scale to improvise over. So now I'm going to play you very slowly the scare and I'm going to tell you which Fred unique to hold the note as well. So starting on the seventh fret with your index finger seven than a 7979797. And so now the question is, how can you practice this? There are a few ways to practice this, but before you start it, it's important to know exactly the pattern. Which means you need to go through few times, going up and down, up and down in the scale. I will show you what I mean. And so on. So you do this quite a few times until you really know the scale. And once you know that one, then you can do few things to practice it, and then it will help you to remember the pattern as well. So the first exercise that we do with this care practice is going from the first node to the third node than from the second to the fourth. And after from the third to the fifth, fourth to the sixth, and so on. So it will look like something like this. So this is how it sounds slow, and you need to go through a few times during the slow. And third, you can start speeding up. You can do the same exercise going back, VD says var, and then it sounds something like this. So these are great exercises to practice the shape. And if you do this quite often, you yeah, remember that r, the notes of the scale. Now the question is, what kind of courts can you use the play, the scale. So region is the third mode of the major scale. So in this case, because it is beef region, it is G-major. And on the G-Major, the third mode, or third note as red is B. So you can play the court in the G major scale. So what are the courts of the G-Major scale? It is G major, a minor. G minor, and that's where the scale is. C major, D major, E minor, F sharp diminished. And that's so dark CT. So we can make up a chord progression, foot exempt. And Dan, You can practice playing the scale. So the chord progression could be foot exempt. So thank you so much for listening to this lesson and see you guys next week with another guitar video. 4. How to sound more Spanish and Flameno when playing scales: Hello guitarist us. My name is edina, and yet watching the Spanish guitar hub and today we will learn how to sound more Spanish, more flamenco venue, playing your scarce. So I will show you a few techniques today, which will help you to sound a little bit more flamenco VGA playing the scales. We will do this on the beef region scale, VR, and they looked at the scared, but we do revise the notes so everybody can join and do these exercises. So at the beef region, scarce starts on the seventh fret, on the low E string. And after a next string 79, then next string 79, then next string 79, next string, 78107, a town. Okay, to sound more flamenco, it's important what you use on your right hand and oil. So what you play on the left hand, of course, the first thing is to choose what technique you are using on your right hand and what scares you are using on your left hand. And it is the scale as N, the technique and how you play this technique as well, which helps you to sound a little bit better venue at playing scales. So the first technique that we will look at is BullGuard. Bullguard means that you are playing with your thumb and you end up on the next string. Actually the poor guy sounds really nice. Venue or playing the bass notes, although it doesn't sound that nice when you start to play the higher nodes. So let's do an exercise just going up and down on the scale with the poor God and using a metronome, I'm on 100 bpm. Now, as you could see in the end, I added something which made my playing a little bit nicer, and this is called the prattle. Now, when you play vibrato in Spanish and flamenco guitar, you are holding the string and you are moving your finger on the sideways. So it is, I think, a little bit different when you play vibrato on the steel string guitar, because on flamenco it is sideways. So it is. It helps you elongate the note and give you a little bit of flavor when you're playing. Okay, the next trick, VLDB hammered on, headed on, means that you play one note and UV or end up on the next string when you finish this note. Let's do this exercise with the metronome. So already sounding a little bit better than playing the scarce. Although I'm literally just going up and down in the scale of funding some flavor with my play. And now the next thing that we would do is pull off, which means that you play one note and you go backwards and you pull your finger of actually this is very common in Flamenco playing or Spanish guitar playing. And it will give you a great flavor when you practice your skills. Now if you can do other tricks as well to sound a little bit better, and then they can just do like a homegrown and pull off together and it sounds something like this. Now another typical thing in flamenco is odd think triplets. And you can do that one, like only the same note as a triplet and oil. So you can do like grounds for the triplets. So let's see how does this sound. Now the next technique that video look at East, because Adam does the other way to sound a little bit more flamenco means that we will do an alternate picking with the index and middle finger and we always end up on the next string. Now you can do this technique on the scale and it has some nice not like when you play pool Gary, you're mainly like tried to aim to play the bass notes. But when the pKa though you play ethnic thing. And now we will look at how all of these previous technique sound if we are using the Picasso technique. So at first vivid odd the vibrato. Again, the idea is in the same technique on the left hand. So the like elongating the node via moving on the site. And we do this quite fast. I also Odede triplets already. So it was Von the battle and triplet. Using the pKa will now develop the Hamiltonians. And let's see how does the Pekah and or sand then the odd this technique. Okay, and again, the odd, the pull off. And then it's got a nice flavor as well toward playing. And we did connect again the hammered on and pull off. And let's see how does it sound when the are adding these kind of little tricks playing the scale. Finally, I will show you how the triplet sounds like when you are using the Picasso. And then it will give you like a really Spanish flamenco fear venue. Here me playing these kind of tricks. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. See you guys next week with another guitar video. 5. Picado Alternate Picking exercises: Hello guitarist us, my name is Dina, and yet watching the Spanish better at hub. And today we are going to learn the Picard oil and oil. So I will give you some exercises to practice the atomic packing. So after this lesson, you can learn something like this. My underplayed because you have played the cure index and middle finger and you do at picking. So it means that you boy, you end up once the vaccine you are oil-based 5-10 dating. So after the index that is middle index, middle index medium. So you don't use the same fingers at the same time. This is the hardest to train or brain to oil-based use an odd time picking because sometimes it is just so much easier when you are already on the string to use the same finger to pull up on more. And it is a kind of bass guitar technique. But the, this technique, it is better to use art and picking so you can gain a little bit more speed later on because then you train your brain. It is oil-based one after the other advance and then you can just go faster that way. The first exercise that you can do to practice the 3-node badly is just toiled any court. And after doing three notes on each of the strings, this exercise is quite good because you can look at your right hand and you can see if you are doing an alternate picking. Because sometimes vendor is like too much destruction and you need to do something the left-hand, and you need to do something that I can give you lose the authentic baking. Now we are going to look at few exercises which are amazing to train your brain for the alternate picking. And I am suffering from the sometimes that I'm using steel the same fingers. So I have to do these exercises regularly to make sure that I'm doing the alternate picking. The first one is a really amazing van. And I know so many guitarists who are doing that I was playing with a lot of people before and all of the solo retirees who I was playing this oil did this exercise before everything. So I highly recommend you this exercise. It is called the three notes per beat exercise. Which means that you play three notes on every string. And after you go to the next thing and you need to start the three notes with a different thing, because it will be 123123. So the best is to use a metronome to do these exercises because you will know that you are on time and oil so you can force yourself to gain more speed if you are using your metronome. The next exercise via the aquatic feeds, that exercise on the beef region scale. And that firstly, I'm going to do it on the E string and after vivid go up on the scale as well and we change strings. So let's see how does this going to sound? Of course, do this exercise quite slowly. And then you can raise your speed or you can even go faster than me if you feel like, but this is a great exercise to practice alternate picking because you're doing 3-nodes per beat. So whenever you new startup this excise that obeys switching from index, middle index to middle index medulla. Now, another powerful exercise is the strings switching on a way that you play. Estream beatString, eStream East string, the string is three. So you can start like the middle, index, middle and index. Index. So let's see how does that sound? I was playing a cert harmonies and actually I was using the beef didn't scare. Again, the harmonies on the beef region scared on the third will look like this. This is actually aligned which was in transient dial Maria cheap. And you can just practice the alternate picking going down in this line and you can also go up as well. So it will be like this. Again, like odd little lines from other songs which is a little bit more fun practice like this value, you know, the art that innate picking off course, but exempt, but I've displayed our set hours to train my brain. Won't bark of the lambda, which is the swan. This is a course in the end of the song and in one part in the middle. But this is so tricky to play because you have to use an alternate picking and the oil-based needs to change. So it took me a while to train my brain to do it in another topic became vain. Thank you so much for watching this lesson. I hope you find it useful to see you guys next Sunday with another video. 6. Top 5 ways to practice scales: Hello guitarist us. My name is Dina and you are watching the Spanish be Tad hub. And today I'm going to show you the top five ways to practice guitar scales. And we will do this on the beef legend scale just because in the previous video, we learned how to play the beef regions care if you haven't watched that one go here. Anyway. So now we will go on the exercises. What we need for the exercises is a metronome, which is on my phone and the guitar. And what we will do, I will tell you the exercises and we set the metronome to three different speed. You can start any speed that you want and you don't need to speed up debt much like I do. I just do this three different speed just to show you how it sounds like when it's slow and varied a little bit faster. So the first way to practice is always the shape of the scale, which means you just go up and down, up and down in the scale, Vdd, the metronome. So then it sounds something like this. So the second way to practice the scarce ease the steps, which means that we go two steps forward, one step backward, and again, to step forward, one step backward until they go to the end of the scale and then the vehicle backwards. So then we go to step backwards, one step forward, and again to step backwards, one step forward. So the third day, the practice, the scarce we are bit asserts, which means you there play the first note, and then a third node, second node, third node, fifth node, and so on. And the fourth way to practice the scarce via beta triplets, which means VB0 play 123123. And after we move on to 234234 and so on. And the last and final way to practice the scales is the Arpad jaws, which means we have a, a play the first, the third, the fifth, the seventh note of the scale. And after the start again. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I'll see you guys next week with another guitar video. 7. Phrygian backing track: Ok. You know what? Thank you. Ok. I'm talking about right. It is optional. Okay. So let's see. Right. Ok. Thank you. What's that? Hello. Ok. 8. E Phrygian: Hello guitarist us. My name is Dina and yeah, vouching The Spanish guitar hub. And today lever due, the next episode of the Spanish guitar scale or flamenco scare the region. And we will see how area change when we put it to a different key. So it will be now in an open position. So after this lesson you will learn something like this. So at first video, learn how you can play the sun. And after we go through what course you can use, how you can practice it, how you can improvise over it. So at first, look at how you can play with your right hand. And you need to use a special technique and it is called the peak Adal. And pick Addo means that you do an alternate picking with your index and middle finger. And whenever you play a string, you end up on the next string. So it looks like this. And now Viva go through with the knowledge that you need to play for the scale. So then you need to play or ban first served or ban second, second, third, second, first side by side. And now the, they have a look at how you are going to practice this fun. And to practice this one, at first, you need a metronome ditch I have on my phone, but you can use any metronome that you want to. And then we can go up and down, up and down on the scale just to learn exactly the positions of the fingering. Of course, he can play any speed that you want to. I just showed you how does it sound like in 90 BPM, one note per beat. And the next thing we need to do some kind of exercises to learn the pattern. And this could be in a lot of different ways. It can be playing. So it could be playing a pen joy, or steps or anything like that. I already made a video on how to practice scales. If you go to this line, you can go to that video. But now either just show you how you can practice this doing steps. And it means doing steps that you go two steps forward, one step back VD and read the notes of the scale. And after again to step forward and advanced tab backwards. So it sounds something like this. Of course he can start this in any speed and you can speed it up later on once you're comfortable with trans speed. So then you get faster and faster with these exercises. But after venue did these kind of vase to practice the scale and you know the noise, then you can start using it on your improvisation. And then the next question is, what kind of courts can you do to practice the scale? So it is an eith regions scale, which means it is the third mode of the major scale. And if region is the third mode of the C major scale, and then you need to use the C Major chord. So what are the C major chord? The C Major chord. C major, D minor, E minor. And that's when the scale is F major, G major, a minor. And then the last one is B Diminished, which is again a quiet dark chord. So you can use any of these cars to make up a chord progression. But today I will show you this chord progression that I quite like. And then we can improvise over this one. I hope you guys enjoyed this lesson and see you guys next week with another guitar video. 9. E Phrygian Backing track: Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Okay. We have now mr. Philip. So the CPU no. Okay. So that so now okay. Yeah. 10. Harmonies 1: Hello guitarist us, my name is Dena, and yet watching the Spanish be that hub. And today we are going to learn how to add Spanish and flying for harmonies to our skills to make or improvisation sounding better. And after this lesson, you can learn something like this. Today we are going to learn the third time when these six Taiwanese and the octaves and the, I'm going to learn this in the C major scale. And if you want, you can do it in any different key, but you need to shift the pattern for VD or backward. So what is a harmony? Harmony is when you play two notes of the scale at the same time. And depends on which nodes you play on the scale, it will become served Todd money, six time money or octave. So because today we are going to look at the C major scale. They can just have a look at the pattern of the C major scale. And we can play two notes together in the C major scale and you get these harmonies. Also for the third and the sixth harmonies, we are only going to look at the bottom three strings, just because it sounds so nice when you play in that, but it doesn't sound so nice when you play it on the base drinks or Adobe the octaves. If you want to get some more dramatic sounds, it's nice as well to play it on the bass strings. So for the Octavia, going to look at Abbottabad as well. Okay, so let's start with the third harmonies. At first we are going to start on the G and the Beast screamed and with this, see how they sound together. So at the first position is if region of the C major scale. Okay? So the first note is the D string, so it will be 1, 2, 3. It means that if you play together the G string and the string, you will get the first cert harmony. The next step will be to go OneNote for vd in each of the string. So then we get to the next topic modeling the next note on the G string, this, and the next note, the B string, me see. Okay, that's looking at the next nodes. And of course, you can go for dark as well. You would just have to follow the same pattern because now the van up coil of Avon octave, so it will be just a second. It just be a, be a little bit difficult. So that's why I'm going to go to the next string. Okay, next time money. And of course you can do the same again. So you can go over the octave like before. This is like one octave higher, but it is the same notes. Now the next step will be the, I'm going to look at the sixth tarp moneys. So sick Tyrone's mean that you are six notes of a, then you play two notes together of the C major scale. And via only going to look at actually just the G string and the E string together because that's when they sound like really, really nice. So let's have a look and let's see how do they sound. So if the place six nodes together, the can start from the G string and we can just calculate the six nodes at first. So it will be run for 5, 6. So the first time money via be the G string and a stink. And the after again, the same rule applies. So be both Analog for vd oil based on the string in the C major scale. And we play these two notes together. So the next node to be on the G string, this, the next note in the East thing is this. Now let's move forward one and the next Todd money. And the next time running. And again, this is one octave. And you can also do the same here. You can go even more for vars. And then you can get to the more high harmonies. Now our final harmony that I would like to talk about is octaves. And octaves means that they are eight steps of a. So it means that both of the note is the same. Now how can you know of that? Are these nodes? There is a quite simple rule on the fretboard. And if you start the octaves on the E string, then the two strings down and two flat. So if this is G, then this is g. If this is a, this is, they are having like a quiet geometric sound effect venue. Use it in your improvisation. Now if we started from the a string, it is the same rule. So two sinks down, two frets away. But it's going to change. Then you go to the DStream. So now it will be two strings down, but three flats of a. Okay? And the last step will be looking at the G string. And in the G string, it is the same. So two strings dance three flats of a. Now, that is one trick that I am using sometimes in my improvisation. And it is playing ports by holding octaves and they can sound like quite nice. Now, this technique makes a little bit of effort to learn it. And basically it is on a veil that you heard an octave and your index finger, you like kind of touching the B string so it's not going to sound. But then you have strumming. You can still touch the top strings. So we unmuting it, fit your middle finger. So this way you can strum and you can play octaves without having any other sound in your improvisation. 11.
