Advanced Guitar Lesson – Intervals Pt.1 “Diatonic Thirds”

In Advanced Guitar Lessons | on February, 19, 2010 | by | 3 Comments

This lesson marks the beginning of our interval series for guitar. We will learn all of our diatonic interval patterns using the 3-notes per string major scale forms that we have already covered.

If you don’t know your 3-notes per string major scale forms yet, and the theory about how we apply them to keys, be sure to check out the advanced guitar lessons archive page to locate all of the PDF downloads and video tutorials you will need.

Use the PDF TAB download for this lesson to memorize the 3rd patterns, and then follow along with the video so you can learn how I finger the patterns. Feel free to experiment with fingerings that you may feel are more comfortable to you.

As we get to the larger diatonic intervals, it will get much more difficult yet more musically exciting as well. Stay Tuned!!

I think Carl said 85% of music is done with the scale.
These diatonic lessons are used by every good player.
The 3rd 4ths and 6ths I find more useful in my style of playing.
Just trying to help others here, seems much of this is in my head and I can call upon it when needed.
In many of the examples you hear the major and minor of these intervals.
You need these patterns but you need the sounds of the intervals in your brain.
Thanks for the lessons and keep rocking
