How to harmonise the Major Scale

[@runninglunatic1208]

im enjoying these theory lessons, keep em coming. this is my favourite resource on the platform, i've learned the most helpful things on this channel. thank you.

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks a bunch, it’s all about these kinds of comments. Happy that people get so much from them. If I can help just one, it’s a success. 🙌🏻

[@JonnyReturns]

The timing on this lesson is nothing short of stellar. I just spent the last 2-3 days memorizing all major and minor triads and then this lands on my lap. Brilliant. Thanks Sped 🤘

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Johnny, promise I’m not stalking you. 😂

Wow, this is by far the best tutorial channel by far...EVER.

[@SpedSpedding]

🤯 Huge statement. Thanks so much; most importantly though., I’m stoked that you’re learning so much! 🙌🏻✨

[@mikeburtonphillipson5900]

Comprehensive follow up to the previous video… really pulls it all together, great work (as always!) 🤘

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Mike, glad you liked it. 🙌🏻🔥

I had a tough time hanging my hat on this one. I know Sped said to be patient, and I have been, but it is a totally new exercise to me so I am a bit frazzled. I am sure it will become easier, and I friggin love harmonies , so it will be worth the time.

[@SpedSpedding]

Yeah this kind of stuff can be a real frying pan at first but once you make your first big moves with it, light bulb moment stuff, it will be with you forever. Stick at it!

[@ChrisLopezpallooza]

Let em hate on the hat, Sped. You keep rockin it. Great lesson, always love seeing how these things work together.

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha I will man don't you worry. Thanks for the comment as always, glad you liked this one. Another bundle of theory coming tomorrow.

[@rizalomar4377]

one of the best lesson in this planet

[@SpedSpedding]

So glad you found this and enjoyed it! 🤩

[@KitWN]

Another excellent lesson. Behind every great work of musical art is a little bit of simple arithmetic... And a hat.

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha, yeah there is. I think the reason guitarists get stumped is because we can play things in two directions. On a piano you would learn a scale and then be able to see the pattern of intervals as you move through. But we play our chords all over the place.

[@KitWN]

@@SpedSpedding My dad was great on the piano, could sight read Rachmaninov and other clever things. But when he took up guitar as a more portable accompaniment to his song writing to join in the folk-club scene he never bothered to learn how to read music for it. Too messy! Knowing some basic theory of harmonic series, chord structure etc. helps though. Like any other language, the better you understand it, the better you can express yourself in it.

[@oskarg5698]

Wow Sped... I know I'm super late to this vid... but you have now successfully made me understand the 3rd and 5th intervals, A feat never before achieved! Round of applause everybody for the best guitar teacher! 👏👏👏

[@SpedSpedding]

Ozzy, that’s amazing! Thanks for the compliments but well done you, really happy for you. ❤️

[@johnnyboo8243]

Dude you have a way of getting this info across that is the best on the tube! Really appreciate your effort!

[@SpedSpedding]

Huge compliment, thank you! I really hope this video gets out there and helps people understand it all. 🙌🏻

Thanks for the lesson! Have a great weekend my man

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure, hope you learnt something new. 🤞🏻

[@christophertorres8225]

sped has such a great voice and is great at explaining things. i could honestly watch a video of spedsplaining how to do taxes.

[@SpedSpedding]

It’s funny you should mention doing your taxes…. I mean I could do a video on that RIGHT now. 😂😂😂 Thanks Christopher, really appreciate the comment. 🙌🏻

[@christophertorres8225]

@@SpedSpedding You KNOW I'm watching that. I can hear it in my head. [in a cool British accent]: "Each payer should send you a Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-OID. Enter your total taxable interest income on line 2b. But you must fill in and attach Schedule B if the total is over $1,500 or any of the other conditions listed at the beginning of the Schedule B instructions applies to you..."

Awesome, thanks Eric! Glad you learned something valuable. ✨

Thanks for another great lesson Sped! Your expression in the thumbnail looks scarily familiar! I'm so determined to learn this stuff and these lessons are proving to be a big help.

[@SpedSpedding]

You’re welcome Vince. Take your time with it, you’ll get it all for sure. 🙌🏻 It’s about living with it, not rushing it.

[@loveguitars]

Hey Sped, Awesome lesson!! Thanks!!👍😎

[@SpedSpedding]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. 😎

[@sjdanthem]

Good stuff, always.

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Another great lesson Sped. Something you touched on briefly was to omit the third from a chord. I guess this essentially creates a big fifth chord. Man they can sound good. I think Paul Kossof showed me that.

[@SpedSpedding]

Huge power chord yeah! Another common one is to play a G major chord in open position, the four finger version but mute the A string with the underside of the second finger. This mutes the major 3rd and again leaves you with roots and 5ths.

[@paulmcdonough4260]

Awesome stuff!

Thanks Paul! Glad you liked it.

Sped this was such a cool video. Loving what you're currently doing with BXRRELL and instructional bits like this are so helpful. Keep it all coming man!

[@SpedSpedding]

Glad it was helpful and that you’re enjoying the solo ventures. We just announced a mini support tour for this year. 🇬🇧

Sped, I am really going to need your les paul to do this. You can send it to me anytime this week!!!! Thanks sped.

Hahaha, I’ll see how much it is second class Mike. 😂

Also Chris can you recommend a 20-30 watt amp that is a clean platform to jump into driven tones?.

[@TommySG1]

Nice knobs on that LP! 😂 Thanks for the lesson Sped! It’s always good to review this stuff when you’re as forgetful as I am! 🤙🤣

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha thanks, I take it you’ve looked at this kind of stuff before then?

[@TommySG1]

Yes I have Sped, I had purchased a few theory courses from another KZbinr Steve Stine. Thanks again, it was explained great and real easy to grasp 🤙

[@saltspringdesign]

Man are you related to Chris Spedding? Like his son? Curious. Loved his guitar work with Robert Gordon, red hot.

[@brinzagoricnik6368]

wich les paul is this and where did you buy it?

[@tshouse2782]

I thought this was about figuring out harmony lines, which I've always sucked at...

[@huskvarsm]

Chris do you do private lessons “not the one with the 9in dong and molasses” but guitar lessons.
