Some ppl suggested learning it on the piano first cuz it's easier
The problem everyone on YouTuber is just yapping about scale practice scale practice so, how should I start learning music theory the best way?
I have been playing guitar for a year or so, Am i four chords guy, Know some barre chords too, But have no idea of scales, Progressions, Note placements on fretboarda Recently started watching videos and trying to understand music theory
Can someone give a roadmap of how to learn things the right way?? im using youtube as my source, Don't have dedicated time for guitar classes How long can it take before i get a decent grasp of how things work in a song? And don't have to watch tutorials to find chords of song?
i can understand that intervals have different color on what chord is being played but what im confused how can i approach it that target note and i also want a melody too as well
Can anyone share the idea of learning about scale cz I am stuck with this one for long time haha.
I start with c major scale i know the pattern but my friend said just remember the shape even though i remember the shape like when i play e key major scale i cannot connect scale like c major scale. It is like need to remember every note on the fretboard?
I would really appreciate if u guz share your thoughts.
Hi. I recently began learning guitar. And as i learn about notes, it's history, names, and everything just gets so confusing.
Cool. So, i will summarize my understanding until now and you have to evaluate it solely based on facts. I am confused about how these notes came and were realized? What is the hsitorical flow? Below is what i understood, but these are two diff paths, and one has to be right.
Humans saw a string, attached to bone and pluck it. they heard a sound
Now, they placed finger halfway, and plucked it. They heard the same note, but higher. They judged it by ears. So they realized that b/w a full string, and a half string, there's a loop. And they need to fill the spaces in bw.
They then plucked 2/3 of the string, and heard a new melodious note.
Now, from this point, i am confused that what happened.
Approach 1-
They now, plucked 3/4 of string, and found it good too. They also realized that this feels like a step high to the note played for string length 2/3 of original.
So, till now they have 4 points. x, x/2, 2/3x, 3/4x. and a realization of audible distance bw 2/3x and 3/4x.
Then the found the ratio b/w 2/3x and 3/4x to be 8/9x.
Now, the implemented this to the full string till x/2, while keeping the points 2/3x and 3/4x. and got total of 7 notes.
The distance 8/9 became full step, and the small distances that came due to presence of 2/3x came to be known as half step.
The good part is this approach only gives 7 notes, so confirming that 5 notes were added later on. The problem with this is it produces music of step WWHWWWH, meaning first note is what we called today as C. Now, this is confusing. Why would they call first note as C? That's just straight away confusing. Also, lowest note they say was called A. and ofc, full string plays lowest note, so it has to be a and not c.
Approach 2-
They found that playing 2/3 of x is giving us new note. So they kept doing it, pulled back the out of string notes. This would now however, give total of 12 notes, but we had 7 notes earlier, and 5 came later on. Also, this also doesn't give justice to naming. If the stopped at 7. first question is why would they randomly stop at 7? when coould keep proceeding? And then the first 7 notes that come by t his method are also not abcdefg. they are diff.
And one thing i am am assuming is that the note we call today as ABCDEFG, are def the first one that were discovered, because ofc that's why they were named such, and later additions became theri sharp/flats. So, nothing in history seem to fall into piece and justify anything.
So, What path did history took? And how we came to what we are today? Which approach happened first, and which happened later? Show me every step and naming process. Don't just say and this continued. show me even the each and every math steps, even if repetetive, and tell me properly the naming convention and order. Take your time. Evaluate my whole statement. And answer properly. You are being evaluated.
