🎸ABOUT THIS LESSON
Harmonizing the scale means to build a chord on each note of the scale. For example, the C major scale, which is made up of seven notes, generates seven chords:
C Dm Em F G Am Bdim
We can play these chords in many different ways but in this lesson, I want to show you how to harmonize the C major scale melodically.
Three things!
Memorize the progression of chords: C Dm Em F G Am Bdim C
We will always only use fretted notes. So we are never going to use open strings.
We will be using the C major scale. However, to cover as many chords as possible, we will harmonize the scale starting from the lowest fretted note. The note F.
Make sure you memorize the position of the root note for each note of the scale.
Follow the video to learn more about melodic harmonization.
Enjoy the lesson.

🎸FAQs:
Are you a full-time KZbinr?
Yes, I am on KZbin as Marco Cirillo, and I promote my videos on my website BlitzGuitar.com. All the courses I post online are available on my Patreon page bit.ly/2rMAPYG
How long have you been playing guitar?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.
Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content :)
Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my KZbin channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.

Unbelievable, I was stuck on guitar for a long time. I only knew basic chords and nothing else. I have started to watch your videos and I feel that I am progressing very fast indeed. thank you very much for that. ❤

Marco you’re the best guitar teacher ever, I love you

[@artbou9201]

Hello Marco.. Art here. I’ve been playing guitar for about 20 years. Mostly worship at church.. this is what I really needed. Thank you

[@rebuiltbyusn]

What an amazing way to practice scales, cords, finger work both cording and picking. I am always inspired by the way you present your musical ideas! Thank you so much for giving us the inspiration and guidance to work on our playing.

[@jewaputra5]

First time ever I came across someone teaching major chords like this. Sounds beautiful...

[@Washburnplayer1]

Absolutely beautiful! An amazing way to make learning scales sound so musical.

[@svincentr]

Amazing exercise

[@floydsmithjr7999]

Good stuff, This is exactly the kind of stuff Im looking for, anything to break open the box that can be used as a tool rather than a one time gimmick or lick for lack of better words. Im putting this in my daily ritual until it becomes a muscle memory habit. I think the best way to use this to prevent it from becoming monotonous is to incorporate it into songs you already know, or play a straight up and down scale run and shift into it in time with a metronome, experiment with it.

[@robgray9620]

Great lesson love it thanks very much

[@ashishkathettu3357]

You are amazing❤️❤️

[@josemora885]

Great video as always...

[@1000BrokenKeys]

and imagine, this scale sounds even sweeter, almost divine when you tune A to 444 Hz, you get two solfeggios in this tuning. 528Hz on C5 and very close 396Hz on G4. This is real, try it !

[@aunghtetoo460]

Thank you mate.

[@param888]

It would be even better if you tell 3rd and 5th node. I am always confused in remembering them 😂

[@aunghtetoo460]

when it is C major scale ( C D E F G A B C), count include the first note, 1st is C 3rd is E 5th is G

[@satchrules101]

genius lesson. Im stumped on how is B the 4th of F ? B is not in the F major chord ,Anyone please .

[@satchrules101]

@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC 100% bro thats what i was trying to say!

[@ayushmahadule9210]

Bro he is playing in key of c ... But starting from F (modes) so its fourth will be B not Bb(F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F...)

[@billydm]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tammywalla7259]

I can’t seem to figure out the finger picking pattern you’re using at the end?

[@munkyboy735]

How could one apply this to an open tuning?

[@ninja4O5]

@1:00 Can someone pls explain me how that patter has come. C Dm Em F G Am Bdim

[@Ragnak_]

It's the modes in the C major, C D E F G A B C. All those notes are part of the scale BUT when you play for example the chords, they are either a major or a minor in the scale, with the 7th note being diminished. For a major scale in this case, it would be Maj, Min, Min, Maj, Maj, Min, Dim

[@hydrocef]

Like said before, in the scale of C major you have C D E F G A B. When playing in the scale of C major, you can only play those notes, and chords that work in this scale are all based on those notes (to keep it simple, I will not talk about borrowed chords etc.). To build a chord on each degree (C= degree I, D=degree II etc.) you have to start from the root note of the chord you want to build, skip one note, take one note (wich will be the 3rd of the chord), skip one note, take one note (wich will be the 5th). Then you have this : - Degree I = C(root) -skip D- E(major 3rd) -skip F- G(5th) - Degree II = D(root) -skip E- F(minor 3rd) -skip G- A(5th) - And so on to finally end up with degree VII = B(root) -skip C- D(minor 3rd) -skip E- F(diminished 5th)

[@ninja4O5]

Thanks guys appreciate it, as i being a beginner you guys have been very helpful :)

[@hydrocef]

@@ninja4O5 You're welcome ! :-)

[@prudvim3513]

Adding 4th note to an F chord means, adding A#, right? But you're adding 'B' note instead. Am I missing anything here?

[@jerrychang9255]

shouldn't the 4th of F major is Bb?

[@HarmanSingh-ou4wl]

Great video, btw which software do use to record your guitar's audio?

[@anushapa4305]

Wow❤️

[@samnoel9910]

Nice videos. Which guitar is this bro ?
