do you feel lost in the forest of music
theory unable to navigate your way
through keys chords and scales in my
youth knowledge eluded me the fretboard
an unsolvable equation adrift in
darkness I soled with random
pentatonic scales dudes cringed and women were horrified desperately looking for
answers I began to study music theory
enthralled by its secret power soloing
Keys intervals and difficult songs
suddenly made sense in this video you'll
be presented with the ultimate music
theory crash course! step out of the
darkness and into the light of music
theory
I'm shred master Scott your music theory
guide now let's get to it
the first topic to tackle and music
theory is intervals which is simply the
distance between two notes
memorize each one so that you learn to
recognize them in the music that you
hear intervals are often associated with
popular songs like the minor 2nd and
jaws
next up we have scales scales are simply
a series of intervals that connect an
octave here's the a major scale it
contains seven notes and is one of the
cornerstones of Western music do re me fa so la ti do and let's not
forget the rock guitarists favorite the
pentatonic scale Penta meaning five
notes which is how many babes you'll get
let's talk about some quick chord theory
to make a major triad you play the first
third and fifth degrees we're in the key
of C starting here on C so that's the
root to find the third go up three notes
one two three and the fifth is five
notes from the first note C is here c d
e f g one two three four five put them
all together and you have C major to
make it minor you flat the third degree
which is here take it down a half step
and now it's sad you want to cry
something that's very often overlooked
is keys represented by the circle of
fifths this basically tells you what
notes are in what key tell yourself
there's a different number of sharps or
flats depending on the scale that you're
playing in become the ultimate music
theory badass by memorizing the number
of sharps and flats in each key for
those of you interested in advanced
music theory check out the 7th chords
instead of the three notes we find in a
triad 7th chords contain four notes
root third fifth and seventh degree one
of the most frequent questions I get
asked is what is a mode a mode is simply
a scale each one with a unique sound
let's have a look at the B Dorian mode
the Dorian mode is a favorite with rock
bands like Pink Floyd the primary chords
in B Dorian or B minor to E major
represented by the formula minor one two
major four
now I want to know what do you think
about music theory is it really
necessary to become a great guitarist
and musician drop your answers in the
comments below on a personal note I've
found music theory to be extremely
helpful instead of hunting around for
the sounds I want I'm able to go
directly to them but perhaps your
experience has been different I hope you
get at least 19.5 babes from your music
theory study I just love a good pussy
don't you pussy pussy pussy pussy death
pussy power new killer pussy Holocaust
