In this series, I'm going to discuss the basics
of music theory, and how to apply that theory
to the guitar. I'll go over the basic waveform,
which is really the roots of it all. We'll
talk a little bit about the different parts
of the wave, the amplitude and the frequency.
We'll go over the meanings of an octave and
the harmonic sequence, which have to do with
dividing up a wave into segments. We'll talk
about the chromatic scale, and how to play
that on the guitar in a couple of different
forms. We'll talk about the names of the notes
in the chromatic scale. We'll take a look
at those both on a piano, and a guitar, just
for their application. And we'll also note
some things on the guitar, how it's laid out.
For example, as you might have seen in tuning,
the fifth fret, how that relates to the next
string. The twelfth fret which would be the
octave and several other aspects to theory.
