You're going to. Oh, Welcome to the guitar music theory

podcast. I'm Desi Cerna, author of Frontboard Theory, Guitar Theory for Dummies, and more.

This podcast features free guitar lessons that focus on music theory for guitar, including guitar scales, chords,

progressions, modes, composition techniques,

improvisation, and more.

The lessons are geared toward intermediate level players on up.

You can follow along on either an acoustic or electric guitar.

Bass players can take away a lot from the lessons too. Today's podcast episode is a previous recording in which you learn about major scale

harmony and playing melodic intervals. This includes

playing in thirds, fourths, and fifths, among others. This lesson is based on my

book Frontboard Theory, Chapter 9. You're going to. Hi, I'm Desi Cerna. And in this free guitar lesson, you're going to learn about playing intervals,

Intervals stem from the major scale.

In fact, most musical concepts stem from the major scale.

So if you're serious about learning music theory,

you really need to make sure that you learn major scale patterns first. Make sure that you

have mapped out patterns all over the fret board. You can transpose to different keys.

You understand how to use the scale to play songs and so on. You really ought to spend time also studying how the

major scale notes are used to build triads and chords, how to play guitar chord

progressions and play by numbers because you know with music theory each concept builds on another

so you want to make sure that you lay the proper foundation.

So all of what we will be discussing about intervals,
