Correction: when you sing "do-ré-mi", those are the notes's names in the european system (Do= C, Ré= D, Mi=E etc): you should then call their correct name, like when you start playing B-C-D-E, it should be Si-Do-Ré-Mi... ;) Thanks anyway for the great content !

[@texasbootlegger3752]

I like your teaching approach. Purchased you book to support your efforts! Keep up the great work, cause you are an important teacher on KZbin! Many students of guitar will benefit.

[@rickysguitar]

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot!

@@rickysguitar Wonderfully done Ricky. I know UR doing Majors right now. Do U suppose that in the early days, they valued minors? i.e. , the alphabet begins with "A". Piano teaches "C Major" then it's counter-part "A minor". Hendrix posited "if 6 were 9" . What if C Maj was really A Major? Those old Guys drank wine- They could have forgot(I'm trying to make U laff!).

[@syx9986]

When you played those notes on the A-string, my brain lit up instantly. It's the Cure's song "Boys Don't Cry!"

[@stevenlader732]

This is the one of the best explanations of this I have seen. The combination of visuals, verbal, enthusiasm and hands on works so well. I am looking forward to exploring your channel. Thank you very much!

Hi Ricky, I cannot praise you enough. You make everything crystal clear…and I have a lesson with my tutor tomorrow (Wednesday), so I can show him what I know, thanks to you imparting your expert knowledge. Cheers.

Thanks! 😃

good teacher

[@carlosalves4444]

Easiest way to remember the major scale is just to remember interval 3-4 & 7-8 both are a semitone everything else is a tone. 😊

[@DifferentCreationMedia]

Hello Ricky, Can you please bring a lesson for us, How can we read Stuff notation easily while playing guitar.

[@jasonmurkin3364]

Hi Ricky I recently watched one ofyour videos and it was taling about the D min cchord...it was saying about which finger to put down first (or maybe which NOT to place first). Could you remind me of the advice, |It's a chord that I still struggle with! Thanks

The Maaygur scale 👍

[@rickysguitar]

Nar then! Wots ta sayin?

[@Thoseaboutto911]

Is it the major scale if you play it in reverse . Starting on eight and going back to one?

[@rickysguitar]

Yes the Major scale descending. If you think of the root word for scale/scala , it means “ladder”.

[@user-fi7dv4cz1d]

Hi Ricky,this is Al again, you told me there is an icon like a cog. On my iPad I can’t seem to find it. I must be stupid, or something. Can you help me? Alan

[@donny763222]

My way I say it is no sharps or flats between every body e-f b-c

[@jamesbanks2492]

So what you're saying is the c major scale is the first skill you should learn before any scale😎😎😎?

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup James! Not necessarily…it depends on your mission. If you want to play blues then it’s pentatonic scales first. However we use the framework of the Major scale to explain all other scales. Looks like I need to a video on it. 😂👍

[@jamesbanks2492]

@@rickysguitar so what you're saying is that I need to learn the major scales before I go on to the pentatonic scales😎😎😎?

[@John-ic6zo]

7 notes in the alphabet. Where did the other 5 notes come from to make the 12th fret the octave ?

[@rickysguitar]

Pythagoras, the triangles dude went on a mystic journey to study with the Chaldeans, (same folks as the 3 wise men some say). They said "Here's a monochord", (1 stringed instrument). "Understand that and you'll understand the universe and nature of God". He worked out the ratios by dividing the string and came up with 12 tones. This is why we have 12 notes and therefore 12 keys. I also think this is why music is the most magical of the art forms. Pretty cool isn't it!

{Whole-Whole-Half Whole. Whole-Whole-Half} - break it down, look for patterns; easier to remember (W-W-H- W W-W-H)

A = Lá B = Si C = Dó D = Ré E = Mi F = Fá G = Sol
