----🎸ABOUT THE GRAPHICS 🎸 ----
Your goal as a soloist is to create MELODY. Our neck diagrams give you the notes you can use to create that melody in REAL TIME.
🎸THE LAYERS
Think of the Diagrams as 3 layers of information:
1. PENTATONIC - The pentatonic scale works all the time and almost never changes, so this is the basic level.
2. MODE - The mode will always be the pentatonic PLUS 2 NOTES (modes have 7 notes). The mode can change depending on the chords (modal interchange).
3. CHORD - The chord layer shows you the notes of the chord changes (aka the HARMONY) in REAL TIME. Outgoing notes get smaller and fade out, incoming notes will fade in, so you know what notes to go for next.
🎸THE NOTE LABELS
The note labels tell us about the way the notes SOUND or BEHAVE in music.
R = ROOT - This is the MAIN NOTE. The key center, the tonal center, the BIG BOSS.
m2 = MINOR 2ND - a very dark, unstable note in a chord or scale, usually wants to go to the ROOT.
M2 = MAJOR 2ND - a happier, more stable color note, often added to chords for major flavor. I'm looking at you Jimi.
m3 = MINOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MINOR.
M3 = MAJOR 3RD - This note makes a chord or scale MAJOR.
P4 = PERFECT 4TH - This note is not very stable in harmony so it is often considered a suspension, which means it wants to resolve to a chord tone like the 3RD.
D5 = DIMINISHED 5TH - 🤘🤘 The most unstable note of them all. Diabolus in musica 😈 The Devil. Also, the b5 BLUES NOTE!
P5 = PERFECT 5TH - This, along with the ROOT, is the MAIN SUPPORT of a chord or scale (think power chords 🤘🤘)
m6 = MINOR 6th - A very unstable, vibey minor sound. Usually wants to go to P5.
M6 = MAJOR 6TH - A VERY GROOVY major sound. This note gives the Dorian Mode its Dorian-ness!
m7 = MINOR 7TH - A very important note in dominant 7 and m7 chords. It's also a really great note in the MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE.
M7 = MAJOR 7TH - This note is found in MAJOR, HARMONIC and MELODIC MINOR scales. It sounds very DISSONANT against the ROOT. It's also the reason you hate soloing in the IONIAN mode.
The label numbers are names come from the MUSIC INTERVAL SYSTEM. Google it!
In the AlphaJams App (currently in Beta) you will be able to control the note labels, which layer, and how much of the neck you see!

You make the absolute best backing tracks, and that doesn't even consider the real-time scale and chord labels that help immensely! I've been jamming to backing tracks for years, and I feel like I just walked into a goldmine with your channel. Thanks so much!

[@nowyoushred]

Glad you like this stuff! It’s been a struggle getting it out there for sure

[@kmjansen]

@@nowyoushred I already shared your channel once and anticipate sharing it with everyone who tells me they’re trying to learn to jam

[@PhillipAvatarblack]

[@nowyoushred]

Thanks man! I hope the tele is OK bro.

[@Krullmatic]

@@nowyoushred Hehe! She survived!

[@randybryant1141]

What a killer track…. My very first time to finally play through the caged system in key…. Hitting all chord tones….. then adding the minor pentatonic scale….It all just fit together…now I’m going to work on my arpeggios….🎉😅🎉😅

[@nowyoushred]

Awesome to hear that! Keep your eyes peeled for the Alphajams app coming soon!

[@KevinH-xr9ud]

Nice.

[@liamparr9243]

Ah...the Bluest of Blues.....

[@nowyoushred]

Gracias!

[@robertsims6718]

Love your playing. What scale are you mostly using

[@nowyoushred]

Aeolian

[@chadzagunis331]

I am pretty used to reading backwards but it would be nice if this channel posted the scales for left handed guitar players

[@nowyoushred]

I wish I could, but as you have suffered through all your life, majority rules… that being said, the Alphajams app will have a left handed mode just for you!

[@chadzagunis331]

@@nowyoushred Understood. I could always turn my iPad upside down lol

[@tubejam3156]

There is a browser extension called 'Enhancer For KZbin' that can be added to most browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera etc. It has a button that allows you to flip the picture horizontally. I'm right handed but I used it for some Robin Trower tutorials done by a left handed guy and it worked great.

[@finatra8410]

I do have question, please. To find your octive you'd move 2 over and 2 down. I see in these tabs it's 2 over and 3 down, at the fourth fret. Is that blues thing?

[@nowyoushred]

It’s just when the b string is involved!

[@JohnCalabria]

nice! a bit over my head though, I know the pentatonic scale, but just habitually hack around in that one position of the barre chord on the Low E. Can someone help this dinosaur break out of that and play the scale over the neck like the dots are showing. I sort of know it for E, but for just one pattern, how does one learn the other keys and positions? any tips on where can I put my energies? thanks!

[@nowyoushred]

Hey John, thanks for your comment! When the Alphajams app comes out, you will be able to select small areas of the neck, so that you can focus on information in digestible little chunks. This way it will not be so overwhelming. Keep your eyes peeled, it should be out soon.
