+yourguitarsage Uuuuuugh minor keys, im glad I took music theory last year in school while they had it at lest I know what you are saying but minor keys were the bane of that class! I have not committed the time yet to checking out your website yet. As a quick question I am lost on where to go on. Since August I have been teaching myself guitar and it has been going well. I can play a simple version of Canon in D and More than Words by Extreme. I know all my major chords and minors. I know A couple of 7's which I like to barr (I dont really care much for voicing as long as I get the chord like I'll use Am barred for trickey ones that I can't play open.) I know this one jazzy chord I dont know its name but in open its (6-1) e-a-e-g#-c#-e which I just move around based on scale degree for some simple jazzy sounds. My big question is where to progress to in my learning. Also I see you wrote a book about mastering the guitar and where that was available and what your course is like/ how much does it cost.
@Mukti00336 жыл бұрын
Whenever I practice anything whether it be chords or scales and be mindful of playing on my fingertips as taught I noticed that my pinkie won't go straight down but tends to roll outwards. Is this normal and something I just need to keep practicing at or is this just how some players play? Even when I physically try to correct it, it still fights me and stays rolled out so that instead of being hitting the string straight on my pinkie hits the string on its side.

You keep saying pentatonic...but what you are playing is a minor pentatonic...there is a major one also. In fact pentatonic scale just means a five note scale...take the major scale and drop the 4th and the 7th and you have a major pentatonic. Start the exact same scale on the 6th of that scale and you have the related minor pentatonic.

Then 8,10,12 on fifth and finally 10,12 on the sixth (high e)... I May have said the string names opposite.... as high e is first and low e is sixth? 😅

there are 8 notes in a major scale , and when you get to 8 you repeat the scale going up in octaves. so the 2nd note of the major scale is the 9th. the 9 th is an octave higher than the 2nd. i'm just starting guitar but this makes a lot more sense on piano.
