    For years I have been searching the depths of internet for just that one video which could really help visualize and understand complicated music theories and patterns on guitar..... finally my search ends at GCH Guitar Academy. Thanks a lot for the care, love and knowledge which you have put in your videos. Regards!

      GCH Guitar Academy hey i love your videos, I have a question when reading music sheet how is wrtitting when is in a higher octave? closer to the base of the eguitar

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  10 лет назад +1

      I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, but the names of the notes repeat from the 12th fret up, so for example the 13th fret is the same name as 1 and fret 15 will be the same name as fret 3 etc.

    • @bigguns845
      @bigguns845 10 лет назад

    • @guitar-academy

      This can't be explained in a simple text box. You need to do some more tutorials about reading music.

    Hi excellent lesson thank you so much. I have been playing for ten months but not explored any theory. Just dipping toe in that area now.. probably a silly question to anyone who knows but I assume the movement of chords to sharp or flat only applies to barre chords and not open? Ie I can’t move the open chord g up or down to create a sharp or flat ?

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  2 года назад

      Good question . . To find sharp and flat chords you have to use barre chords. You can move open chords if you want, but they create they're set of names 😊

    Excuse my ignorance very very novice here. So a g sharp is the same sound/note as an a-flat? (according to the E string)
    My apologies for asking a question halfway through the video. My answer was about 60 seconds later. Thank you for your thoroughness

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  4 года назад

      It is very complicated, but basically only in certain key signatures. You can only have a B sharp in the key C# major, and you can only have a C flat in the key of Gb major or Cb major. (this is not including minor keys)

    You need to cover the open string notes as well. How do you play sharps and flats for a note where no fret is played? You seem to jump from very basic sharps and flats to chords without covering this aspect.

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  6 лет назад +1

      This is a difficult one to answer, but basically you can a B# or a Cb and the same with the E# and Fb, but it is dictated by the key signature. This gets a bit complicated and you have just made me realize I need to make a video on the subject . . .

    • @JohnDAvery-tf4td
      @JohnDAvery-tf4td 6 лет назад

      Pat 68 - G# major is a theoretical key that doesn't actually exist (although G# minor does). The reason for this is that key signatures can have up to 7 sharps or flats, one for every note in a diatonic major or minor scale. G major already has one sharp; G# major would therefore have to have eight - which isn't allowed.
