Music Theory Guitar Lesson - Understanding Basic Chord Harmonies
🕑 Added 2016-05-27 03:59:29 +0000 UTCHello and good evening Patrons,
I'm "burning the midnight oil" over here, working on my weekend mini lesson! I've always enjoyed the technical aspects to learning the guitar, but it is music theory that allows us to apply our favorite licks and tricks to our own creations. In this tutorial, I'll show you how chord harmonies are created using the major scale. We'll discuss the anatomy of three basic chords; majors, minors and major sevenths. Please let me know if this lesson accomplishes this goal. Thanks so much for your support and guidance. -Rob

Great stuff awesome lesson
Basic theory important stuff ...! great lesson!!
Being an "older" beginner I really like these theory lessons. I also enjoy your song tutorials where you break down where the song construction comes from. Brown eyed girl is a freat example. I had played the opening riff before but never understood why,
Rob...music theory is what I totally do not understand...what lessons in order should I start with...Thanks...Steve
