#220 - Intermediate Music Theory COURSE

You don't need to memorize for each string. Just use the alphabet, each letter gets a sharp except no Bsharp or cflat and no E sharp or F flat. so: A string: A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# Sharps can be called flats if named after the letter to the right: A Bb B C Db D Eb F Gb G Ab. This order remains the same for all strings . For the D string, you just start at D

Question in week 1 where we learn octaves there is only 1 video for note “E” should there be a video for each string? Just joined and started beginner course. Been playing for years but never knew the notes so it’s nice to learn some theory.

Is it then like that? Dominant seventh chord, built up by the intervals 1, 3, 5, b7: - E (1) - G# (3) - B (5) - D (b7) Tensions (counting from E major): - C (b13) - F (b9) I think now I nailed it 😅 Sry 4 spam, hopefully my thoughts are helpful for other music theory beginners, too Rule of thumb: Major 7th chord: 1, 3, 5, 7 Minor 7th chord: 1, b3, 5, b7 Dominant 7th chord: 1, 3, 5, b7 🙈 Thx 4 being my rubber duck 🦆

I think I understand this miracle now a bit better, taken from wikipedia but still hard to derive an easy “counting intervals rule” “In music theory, a dominant seventh chord, or major minor seventh chord,[a] is a seventh chord, usually built on the fifth degree of the major scale, and composed of a root, major third, perfect fifth, and minor seventh. Thus it is a major triad together with a minor seventh, denoted by the letter name of the chord root and a superscript "7"”

Stefan Halbritter

Or is it counting with E major (because there is no Emin7 notation in there? But this seems to be making even less sense to me because the 7th would be a D#.

Stefan Halbritter

I am struggling a bit naming the intervals for the dominant seventh chords. To understand the first E7b9b13 chord right, because it is a dominant seventh chord, do I have to count with the E Minor scale notes? - E (1) - D (b7) - Ab (actually it’s A(11) but flattened to a b11) - C (5) - F (actually it’s F#(9) but becoming a b9) Is this correct or am I overcomplicating things? Kind regards Stefan

Hey Samuel, the intermediate course link is in this post! If the Patreon community votes for it, I'd gladly do a follow-up :)

Bernd Brodträger

Howdy from Texas, Bernth! I was wondering if you're planning on doing a "Part 2", so to speak, of this sort of thing? I ask because the Youtube video is titled "Music Theory for METAL (Beginner's Guide)". Do we get an intermediate guide? :D

Samuel Brockmann

Hi BERNTH,I've been busy lately, and my interest has shifted to the metaverse, so I don't practice guitar for the time being. I'll learn it from you later when I practice guitar.

Welcome to our community Craig and thanks for your comment and kind words! Happy you decided to jump on board, hope you have an awesome week :)

Bernd Brodträger

i'm 36 and want to add more color to my punkmetal riffs and learn how to shredz over chords! I can play fast but want to improve in rhythm and lead! cheers :)

vincent lugo

Hey there. This is the first thing I saw when I joined. I’m 56 and still wanting to play 80’s rock and metal. It’s good to know I’m not the only one here.

Space Ace

I just turned 60....been playing for over 50 years. Just learning to read music and theory now....your never too old to learn.

Barry Keyes

I am 50 my friend and have been playing rythm and bass in the death metal genre since I was 17. I'm here to learn more of theory and leads...you are never too old to learn. Don't be discouraged. There's plenty of people here that can help you on your journey. Good luck!

Jason Fields

I been playing guitar on and off for over 20 years. Self taught by ear. I always end up putting it down like you said after playing same songs for years and at a plateau. Could never wrap my head around lead and solos and I want that more than anything. You are a insane guitar player. I watch you on YouTube and just decided to give this a try. I really appreciate the effort you put in this and I look forward to learning my fretboard. Hope this helps

Craig LeBlanc

Where do I find the practical example you mention at 5:46?

Rational Gaze

age really doesn't matter when it comes to playing music, just imagine in a few years how good you'll be if you keep practicing =)

Vlad Ionescu

Never too old!! go step by step, it's a just a matter of discipline and consistency in practice, you will see the improvement. cheers!

Sergio Galvan

as i sit and watch these videos, i feel at a loss. i am 40 years old and just recently decided to pick up a guiter. but i feel that i am to old to learn this style of playing or to learn music theory.

Tre Francis

It´s one thing to play guitar like a virtuoso but it´s another ball game to be a teacher and present the nuts and bolts of technique and theorie without losing the students attention. My respect, you got both down on a supreme level

Dominik Glöckner

I wonder what the advanced theory course holds

jaz

i love the way he says cadences lol

Dmitriy Chumichev

Also: SUPER LOCRIAN makes me laugh every time 😂

Eric Bailey

You know it's an excellent video when it begins with a clap! 👏🏻

Eric Bailey

Robert Bjärmyr
