I hope I won't sound to be exaggerating, but the bonus tip is pretty much the most "wow" tip for beginners I've ever heard on YT in many years. Many people who pick up the guitar learn to only tune with a tuner, but the oscillation of the two notes is something simple yet so fundamental to understand how sounds work. Big props!

@JackieBGoode5 жыл бұрын
Gabe K when you lower it to D, the string becomes more loose. It makes it so that it will move up and down more when it vibrates, making it more likely to hit the fretboard. If it’s an electric however, your amp probably won’t pick this up.

Scales?
@invisiblegraveyard47424 жыл бұрын
Greg, i have a stupid theory question. You are turning single notes within a scale into power chords. But, ive seen where each note in a specific scale is assigned a specific Roman Numeral. And those Roman Numerals dictate whether that chord is a minor or major chord. But, you are playing all power chords. Am I overthinking this???
@Levy3o84 жыл бұрын
When you see the roman numerals, that's a reference to that note's position in the scale, and the upper/lower case of the numeral indicates major or minor chord structure. C major (CDEFGAB) for example, a C chord (aka the I chord) would be CEG chord. Some chords in major keys may sound minor, while some minor key chords will sound major, it's based on how far the notes are from each other that make up the chord (visualize a keyboard). For example, that CEG chord is major because it has 3 notes (C#, D and D#) unused between the first notes, and 2 unused notes (F and F#) between the last 2 notes. Minor chords are opposite (2 unused notes of the keyboard between the first and second notes, and 3 unused between the second and third notes of the chord). Power chords are made up of the root, a 5th, and an octave. A C power chord for example is CGC. It's been years since AP music theory, so I may not be using proper terminology, and anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding.
