HOW TO VISUALIZE CHORDS & SCALES: A simple, step-by-step method

[@fretscience]

*NEW:* I'm currently rolling out *Improv 101,* a step-by-step improvisation course for guitarists of _all ability levels_ (there are _no_ prerequisites other than being able to physically play single-note lines on your guitar). You can get early access on Patreon patreon.com/fretscience or learn more at fretscience.com/2024/10/25/fret-science-improv-101/ Fret Science is a new and robust method for understanding the fretboard (learning all of your scales, arpeggios, and chords) with _dramatically_ less memorization. And then using that knowledge to improvise and play freely in _any_ style of music. The core method for learning scales and chords is available _for free_ here on KZbin. If you're new to the channel, I invite you to check out the "Big Picture" video and recommended video viewing order here: kzbin.info/aero/PLMuHlX9RiFi1L1RdC0CzYa1qxZllD5Ujz&si=cOp25GnXrL28rbLQ If you want to go deeper or interact with me directly, come join me on Patreon patreon.com/fretscience where I'm sharing exclusive new lessons, breaking down classic solos, and rolling out a new improvisation method that will help guitarists of _all ability levels_ learn to improvise confidently over chord changes in any style.

I was jaded with all the tutorial videos with clickbait titles, everything is easiest, fastest, bestest ... But this one is truly the best, liked and subscribed

[@fretscience]

Thanks! 🎸🧪🤘

[@boriskrasnov2629]

The animations and diagrams are exactly what my brain needed for it to finally to click after YEARS of not getting it. I just needed an engineer to explain music theory to me. I’m so blown away I spent $30 for all of the cheat sheets on his site, glad I did.

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Boris…much appreciated! 🎸🧪🤘

[@henrymartinez4845]

Best explanation I have ever seen about how to use patterns and scales, everything started clicking!

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Henry…glad it helped! The next video will do the same thing for the major scale modes, although if you want a preview, I’ve written a couple of short articles on this over at fretscience.com

[@JoashMoonsamyHartMedia]

Completely agree. And I’ve been playing for so many years and never understood this

[@michaelgumleyguitar]

and the diagrams help so much too

[@sdubrau]

Same here. Not that I didn't know but just didn't see how you can actually use it efficiently.

[@danielsalas9438]

The shifting concept accross the different forms of the penta is a real revelation !

[@fretscience]

So glad it helped!

[@mrb.8446]

Can't thank the KZbin algorithm enough for washing this into my feed. Can't thank you guys enough for providing one of the biggest eye-openers in the last few years to me. Very well explained and visualised. All of a sudden I can map my way on the fretboard without knowing anything about boxes or positions. This literally brings it all together and is all you need. Big thumbs up!

[@fretscience]

Awesome, I'm glad it helped!

[@AirPHX]

Teaching is a art form and not everyone can do it. This guy and channel is by far the absolute best and clearest guitar teacher on KZbin. You have successfully taken the mystery out the guitar fretboard. Thank you so much for making these videos and blog posts. You have made a huge difference in my understanding of the guitar already. Keep up the great work!!!

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Todd…your hyperbole is massively appreciated! 🎸🧪🤘

[@Claudio.forte.t]

I am an IT guy and I knew there was a logical way to understand frets disposition. You are the first one who revealed it an explained it so beautifully. Thank you so much. Looking forward new videos.

[@fretscience]

I worked in an IT department for 3 months once…I’m glad this was useful for you!

[@jwilder2251]

This was more useful than 99% of all KZbin videos about the fretboard

[@ruedihuber8798]

80+ years old and I get these insights now, after too many years with understanding the theory but not how to put it into practice. Better late then.... THANKS

[@fretscience]

It’s a never ending journey…glad you’re here! 🎸🧪🤘

[@ruedihuber8798]

​@@fretscience Thanks Keith for the warm welcome! I just had a look at your site, and what you right at the beginning of "about" fits perfectly to my own situation. I played rhythm in several bands and still do so, and then started with fingerstyle some years ago with the idea to play melody lines just the way I do with a flute or harmonica. I manage now with simple chord progressions, but when it gets to more sophistic patterns it's not that easy any more. Your conclusions will definitely help me to shorten up the improvement process!

[@fretscience]

@ruedihuber8798 That’s great to hear! If my other videos resonate with you and you’re interested in diving deeper into melodic improvisation, I’m about to soft-launch a step-by-step improvisation course for playing melodically over blues/rock chord changes over on my Patreon: patreon.com/fretscience

[@darrells1806]

For some reason, I still can’t wrap my head around this.

[@anonymus3409]

This is the first comment I've ever written simply because you changed my (guitar) life. I couldn't memorise the patterns for over a month, but it just clicked with the video. Thank you so much!!!

[@fretscience]

Glad I could help! 🎸🧪🤘

[@everettkight]

Using the Circle of 4ths to memorize the fretboard is the most amazing, elegant, and simple trick that I can't believe I'm only now hearing for the first time. It made clear in 10 seconds what 10 years of playing somehow failed to. Well done man, and please keep up the good work!

Best explanation of Pentatonics and the whole fretboard on KZbin. Everything makes so much more sense now

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Frank!

[@awittypilot8961]

While looking for the "AHA" moment I'v learned a lot. This is one of those moments for me. Putting down the scale patterns and shifting the neck UNDER it opened my eyes to whole new idea. This will help to visualize the whole fretboard. It won't make my fingers move any quicker or instantly improve my creativity but it will sure give me something totally new to work with. Thanks for the great idea! I'll bet my solos will get better quickly.....

[@fretscience]

Yes, this! Being able to get past the memorization phase is one of the keys that unlocks creativity…technique is another, but there are lots of _other_ KZbin channels that focus on that 🤣

[@wagonet]

Honestly mind blown 🤯. I just realized I need to find more content in this visual manner. Such a clear explanation of something that felt too mysterious for a non music person

[@matthewg4882]

This clicked for me for the first time last year and i have never seen someone explain it on youtube so clearly. Once i realized the tuning system was like "software" for guitar, you load up a tuning system and that produces all the shapes of chords/scales everything made sense. Thanks for this, going to be showing this to anyone that wants to start learning guitar.

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Matthew! I haven’t done a video on it yet, but I agree about the tuning system analogy, and the same approach gives interesting insights into drop-D and DADGAD tunings.

[@wthrmn]

What a time to learn the guitar, thank you so much for these videos. I've watched countless tutorials on shapes, but these are superior in so many ways! The way you explain it and visualize it at the same time is exceptional. Finally, I can continue my journey in mastering the guitar. For anyone interested, definitely go and watch his other video on triads and how they work in context of scales and what not. Unbelievably helpful, thank you again!

[@fretscience]

[@pierre4785]

Great video. A small correction to 3.01, it's not F major triad but E major triad. Your pedagogy is excellent and allows you to visualize very quickly the understanding of the guitar fretboard. sincerely.

[@fretscience]

@@pierre4785 no worries whatsoever! I can’t fix the video itself, but I added a pop-up note with the correction 🎸🧪🤘

[@glynnkorrel693]

Im trying to be helpful here because Yes the Circle of 4ths and 5th can be (potentially) confusing for a Beginner that (as you say) “a fourth moving up” (technically DOES NOT) “get you the (EXACT) same note as moving a fifth lower”. So… that is very confusing. I really think that you should be more explicit at 4:09 by saying: “at fourth moving up (HIGHER IN PITCH) gets you to the same note a as fifth moving down (LOWER IN PITCH but an OCTAVE LOWER).

[@beachthor1]

You have a very pleasant voice for this kind of video, like a professional book reader for audiobooks.

[@fretscience]

Thanks! 🎸🧪🤘

[@beachthor1]

@fretscience your approach to learning the fretboard is a huge help to me. I have played drums for 30 years so I knew nothing about the fretboard, and felt like I was wasting time sorting through all the fluff of most other videos. Thank you!

[@fretscience]

Glad you’re finding it helpful! 🎸🧪🤘

[@thoughtprovoking001]

I can't thank you enough for this. I already understood the circle of 5ths on the fretboard but I didn't mentally connect the pentatonic positions relative to the circle of fifths. This is gold! 👍

[@fretscience]

Awesome, you’re welcome. The next video will do the same thing for the major scale modes…coming soon 🎸🧪🤘

[@gridlock489]

The final chapter of this video is perhaps the most useful tip I’ve seen in 15 years of playing guitar. Should be mandatory education for the primary school kids who think blues is boring/basic (that was me!)… it turns that simplicity into a tool for mastery of the fretboard. Bravo on this explanation

[@fretscience]

And it’s just one of many ways to approach improvising over the blues!

[@christopherlopez2491]

Thank you so much ! I recently had things start to click for me and I finally made it out of a guitar purgatory for the past decade… this is exactly what I needed.

@@fretscience So far you only have 2 videos available, is your plan to make more?

[@fretscience]

The third video is coming very soon. These take about 15-20 hours of work to get the animations and the script just right. I finished those steps today and now need a couple more hours to record and edit, plus however long it takes KZbin to do its thing.

[@fretscience]

I have a full time job, so it’s been taking me 2-3 weeks per video to go from concept to upload

[@michaelkrailo5725]

I had to rewind several sections quite a few times to make sure I was getting it but this is incredible. It's fairly easy to memorize that circle of 4th's pattern and seeing how shifting that pentatonic up goes to the fourth chord and down one goes to the fifth was eye opening. You also cleared up a confusion about 4ths and 5ths as it relates to semi tones. That's an important basic thing that should be taught and understood early on. Thanks for making this.

[@fretscience]

Thanks, Michael…much appreciated!

Your unique contribution to guitar-ology is the term "warp," a quick way of referring to the effect of the reduced interval between the 3rd and 2nd strings. Thanks.

[@fretscience]

I can’t claim credit for the name, since I adapted it from the great Jon Finn, but I like to think that I’ve contributed by illustrating it with animations and showing additional ways to use it to reduce memorization beyond what Jon teaches in his books. Hopefully that makes it more accessible.

Simply THE BEST video on YT

[@fretscience]

Thank you!

[@hansenmarc]

Very logically presented. Thank you. I think it’s helpful to understand the “warp” by using open chords and seeing how the notes change when moved up by a fourth. For example, looking at the “CAGED” chords in this order: E -> A -> D, then starting over from the low 6th string again, G -> C

[@fretscience]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, that’s a natural extension of the triad example in the video. I think there’s a good lesson in here somewhere about arpeggios, and the example of the open chords would fit in well with that.

[@rogerpercival5486]

@@fretscience I think that to learn music theory, one has to be able to visualize whole steps and half steps (tones/semitones) and so learning this on a piano or keyboard can make it much easier to visualize things like why there are only half steps between E and F, and between B and C.

@@fretscience Your visuals are very clear and well thought out. However, what I like best is all the different ways of seeing/thinking about it you provide. I find things that click for me might not for others but this way I'm bound to find one that works for me.
