Overview of scale degrees in the key of C Major.
Today I am playing with just 3 strings on the guitar. A, D and G strings. Both E strings and the B string are taking a break for today.
I find it way easier to play, learn and remember notes and chords on the guitar buy focusing on just three strings.
Most simple chords are just 3 notes anyway, right? So why clutter the landscape with TMI? (Too much information)
So once you locate the Root of 1, in this case C is the 1st note, cause it’s the key of C major.
You also know where the 3 and 5 are. You can use the circle of fifths to figure out the 5. It’s right next to the 1.
So C is 1, G is 5, that leaves E as the 3.
In the video I go all the way up to 13.
In future lessons we will have fun with some of these other numbers, small bite at a time.
Unlocking scales, riffs and patterns.
We will take a peek at some sheet music sheet music or TAB, You don’t even have to pay attention to the music theory part to be a great guitar player, unless you want to, then have fun with it.
