THE WOODSHED by Andy Wood
ELEMENTAL VISION
Welcome to Andy Wood's first Guitar World column! Andy starts off with an essential element of musical understanding, which is the knowledge of intervals. To illustrate, he cites a passage from his song “Believe,” from his album, Charisma.
An interval is the distance between two notes, measured in half steps and whole steps. “Believe” offers a great way to examine intervallic relationships, as there’s a repeating, droning root note throughout the opening melody, and it’s helpful to be aware of the intervallic relationship between the root and each individual melody note.

    As a person who plays both guitar and piano I think it's really interesting to see the fact that while the guitar is clearly a chromatic instrument, I (we?) always always think about being in a key, and then, I ask myself, about changing keys. But if instead I was to say, what intervals might sound good in this piece, sometimes those intervals will include notes that aren't in my chosen "key". And when I figure out what it is I'm doing (oh look, I've re-discovered the harmonic minor scale), I think to myself, maybe us guitar nerds should be reviewing the piano nerd teaching system and stealing from it. I think when it comes to scales and modes, the keyboard/piano people have been teaching this more effectively than the guitar community. I love the idea of minimizing workload. To offload work from my brain, I just need to do a thing without thinking about it. Muscle memory. Habit. Ingrained skill. Better than playing scales, for me, is improvising over chords. For hours. Hundreds of hours. Eventually thousands of hours. But before I could do that, thousands of hours of scales and exercises and licks. So much work, all to minimize workload and make me able to do effortlessly now what I couldn't even do with a maximal effort at first. I like the idea of working in degrees of a scale. I think we should work with the names also. Tonic being the root note, and supertonic, and so on. This lets us think functionally.

    A lesson that could have been by Derek Trucks. Not the same as Derek but I really hear Derek in Andy's playing...it's a singer's approach as much as a guitarists.
