Good job on this video Scotty. I’m an intermediate level guitar player.. So far, everything you seem to be teaching registers to me. I’ve always been at a loss of words explaining this kind of thing to people however. I will definately be studying your videos in depth to see how my playing can improve with a little technical inspiration.

Hi angieloverboy32,
HOLLOW body electric guitars will produce some sound without amplification … however SOLID body guitars require an amp.

Hi Dimesime369,
Great question. I’m 55 … started playing Piano at 6 … Guitar at 10 … was pretty serious by 16 … but I still didn’t “GET IT” untill I had the good fortune to hook up with some EXCELLENT teachers while in my 20s … Dan May, Dick Wetmore, Richard Brookes. I tried to encorporate all I learned from them into our home study program. The MUSIC AS LANGUAGE concept and the emphasis on EAR TRAINING evloved out of that.
Continued success!
All the best,
Scotty

Hi revan107,
The chart is OK. Yes … they begin to repeat after 12 notes. Think of this chart as somewhere in the middle of a piano keyboard so there are notes both higher and lower than the ones that are labeled. I started with A and went through one full octave. Call or email me if you’re still confused.
All the best,
Scotty

Glad we could help. I hope to get a video lesson uploaded this weekend that goes into the relationship between the keyboard and the fretboard in even greater depth. Stay tuned!

Very informative and good job including visuals of the piano. I’m starting to see more of a connection between my piano keys and my fretboard after watching your vids. Thanks for your help!

NP Scotty, Your lessons look like they could be helpful to a lot of people. Good luck with what you do, ear training in my opinion is the most important part of learning to be a good musician.

Hi 1jimif,
Yes … I think I misspoke there. Eb is of course lower than E. Sorry for the confusion. I plan to go in an edit that when I get a chance. Thanks for pointing it out for other viewers.
