Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! But what about "Banjo-minor" isn't that one of the 24,000?

Chris should have 1 million subscribers. Absolutely one of the top teachers on KZread. Real lessons rather than fluff, practical, learnable and accessible. Brilliant

Hello sir I have a doubt regarding how to play the whole step and half step while moving from one string to the next while playing the major scale.(like if a whole step in the same string can be played by leaving a fret.but when moving to the next string how to calculate that)

@curiousguitarist

4 ай бұрын

It’s not very intuitive so you’re not alone! A whole step up on the next string is always 3 frets back with one exception; going from the G to B strings it’s 2 frets back. Try practicing just that, and naming the notes when you play them for 5-10 minutes and you should be able to recognize the distance calculation much more easily. Keep me posted!

CHRIS, Hendrix avoided using the harmonic minor scale instead using the Gyspy scale to play his octave unisons using the Gyspy scale. What I'm saying is that the octave unisons aren't based on the major scale or the 3 minor scales. Listen to Hendrix Woodstock rehearsal tapes because Hendrix thought the harmonic minor scale was not for rock tonalities. The octave unison progressions are based on the Gyspy scale which you should make a lesson about it because Hendrix used it. Also Jazz Musicians would use the Melodic minor scale a half step UP from the root note which you can also make a lesson about because "fusion blues" uses this in blues fusion music.

@@curiousguitarist The DomV in based on the Dominant Pentatonic scale , ( NOT the harmonic minor scale ). Remember Blues tonality is not related to the circle of 5ths, its in the mixoloydian tonality. Its like learning the Dominant CAGED System NOT the Major or Minor CAGED System like most teach but never teach the Dominant CAGED because that is blues tonality.

@@curiousguitarist Yes classical composers used the harmonic minor scale to make the minor V chord into Dominant V chord but they avoided using the harmonic minor scale because of the augmented 2nd interval which is to avoid Aug 2nd its a classical rule because it was ugly to the Ear. That is why classical composers created the Melodic minor scale for only Ascending up only because it LEADS to the tonic home note. You don't hear the harmonic minor scale being used in Blues music much so the Dom7 chords parent scale is NOT the harmonic minor scale.

@@curiousguitaristHonestly, as someone wanting to learn guitar, your lesson is the main thing I focused on, and it’s SO amazingly good, I don’t think you need to worry too much about anything else! Seriously, your guitar lessons really stand out from others on KZread, because you actually explain music theory, rather than just teaching endless songs the way others out there do! Having said that, this is my 2 cents as a photographer: The foreground lighting seems a little bit dark, and that strand of Christmas lights in the background tends to draw visual focus away from the subject you want to focus on in the frame, which is obviously the guitar. On the other hand: I really like the relaxing mood you have going on in your studio, and I totally get that those kinds of lights might help set the mood you’re wanting… What I would suggest is: Keep everything else the same, but try adding a bit more lighting on where you are in the foreground, so that you aren’t silhouetted so much by those background lights. Use a WARM color cast (maybe 2700k) if you can, to match the color temperature of those Christmas lights, and not lose that warm look, if that’s the kind of look you are hoping for.
