I have a question about guitar intervals, is there a video explaining it more thoroughly? I'm not sure if I accidentally skipped it, but in Music Theory 1, Tomo mentions a little bit of it but thats all I've seen so far. Later on in the series he uses the guitar intervals and I don't really understand it when he explains some things on the guitar.
Thanks!
Interval is the distance in pitch between 2 notes.
So you have your 12 chromatic notes:
C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A-A#-B-C
I find it easier to look at it from the view of a piano. All the black notes are # (or flat) and the white notes are not.
If we look at the distance between two notes:
so C to C# is a semitone apart.
But so is B to C.
C to D is a tone apart.
We also name the intervals, so have you heard when Tomo talks about Do-Mi-Sol in triads, this is Root, Major Third and Perfect Fith.
So from C to E:
C-C#-D-D#-E = this gives us 4 semitones or 2 tones apart.
There is some really great content on youtube explaining basic music theory.
Hope this helps a little.
Hey thanks for the response, I don't think I called what I'm referring to right lol, but sometimes when Tomo explains a chord, he'll say Major 2nd, Maj 9, and 13. I guess what I'm wondering is where do you get the 9 and 13 from.
Thank you Jacob for Interval question. So did you follow lessons on Essential Theory? How many lessons did you watch and which specific lesson that you didnot understand? Maybe you need to know chord functions, name of notes and intervals.
How about this? Plesae tell me how much do you understand and could you explain a little about yourself? How long have you been playing guitar? How long have you been on Guitar Wisdom?
1) 3 5 5 4 3 3 = G D G B D G = R 5 R M3 5 R
2) 3 X 3 4 5 X = G X F B E X = R X b7 M3 13 X
3) 3 X 2 4 3 X = G X E B E X = R X M6 M3 5 X

I have a question. Do you understand triad inversions on all over the fretboard?
Thank you.
Tomo
Learning triads and the inversions has really made me understand how fretboard works. i think learning triads is the most important thing to learn. I really thank Mr. Fujita for telling us to learn triads.
It seems so simple only 3 notes but really so complicated with inversions and intervals. very important triads
