Combining Chords and Scales for Guitar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Mixing rhythm and lead together seemed like a dark art to me before I discovered that chords come from scales. Once I really looked into that I was able to start combining rhythm and lead techniques together like the pros do.
This exercise that I call Chord and Scale Nesting get's the party started, it is the fastest and best way to start seeing all the options you have over any chord...all you need is to bring along your brain!

Man this lesson is amazing! It gives me something to fully understand my triads too which I have been working on as of late. Thank you for these videos Chris! ❤
You bet, Kevin! Glad you enjoyed this one…solid ideas here that build very quickly, especially if you’ve already made some headway on triadic capability.
Thanks again. I've really found these guitar studies to be even more fun than learning songs. Great way to let out that creativity.
Glad you’re enjoying the channel! Thanks for the views and comments
While there have been many good lessons and insights I have learned from you, THIS concept here has been by far the most powerful one. Once I wrapped my head around this, it has enabled me to see the triads woven into the fabric of the scale itself.
Boom! So glad to have you back in the fold JC!!
It also highlights the genius (IMO) of the design of the guitar itself.
As a self RUclips taught newb, I appreciate these types of videos. The different perspectives of combining scales and triads together in a different light is extremely helpful.
I get frustrated at myself at times because I know the e shape , Bar chord shape, know the pentatonic scale around the bar chord shape (e shape) and have the major scale (pattern only) memorized but can never piece it all together like in this video with out watching a video like this. I guess at some point a teacher is probably the best remedy at times.
Thanks again for the video ❤
The guy in the dirt band many years ago taught me (1st) to solo of the A bar! These inversions at end of da video were amaZing..Alohaz
You bet!! Glad you enjoyed this one!!
WHAT A FANTASTIC TOOL / METHOD! I never thought of this in this way. Thanks for sharing this information!
Glad it was helpful!
You have a unique teaching style Chris and it resonates with me. I’m suffering from info overload from watching too many lessons in YT. I now need to just focus on one teacher and I’m thinking that may be you. Can you please comment on how we/I should navigate my way thru the information overload as I’m getting overwhelmed by it all
Email me at Chris at curiousguitarist dot com and let’s see how I can help
Sweet lesson man. Always making theory easy to learn and understand
For the first 6 minutes, I'm like "yeah, I know all that, yep I understand this completely and can do this on the fretboard already..." then @6:00 you say "and here's what you can do with it..." then the floor drops out. I feel like I could make up that riff intuitively or by trial and error, but not from the chord/scale knowledge. Only after taking significant time to analyze it after the fact would I see how it fits with what you taught. The hard bit is not the understanding, but the employing it. It's like that drawing instruction meme: step 1 draw two circles, step 2 draw the rest of the owl. 🤣 Well, I still love your teaching style! Full disclosure - I don't have a teacher either, so maybe that's my problem. If I did take a teacher, I'd ask you first though.
I do zoom lessons, email me if you're interested!

Yes indeed! It's the way in and the way out as well. Once you realize that the notes are all around the fretboard, it's just a matter of where you want OR could play them. It's up to the artist to decide. Great stuff, Chris!!
Truth!
Thank you Chris, love it 😍
This goes back to harmonizing the major scale. Still very useful Chris next I need to harminize the modes of each chord.
Yes, harmonizing is so valuable! Looking at any scale from different vantage points really helps you see “through” it
great lesson Chris, so many options in a small space on the fretboard. Keep on keeping on;)
Thanks, will do, Bubba! Thanks for all you do to keep the ship straight :)
ALways love your Friday Lessons!!!! Makes me a way better player and easy to understand!!! Time to start with the Circle of 5ths!
Rock on!
wow, this information is so obvious and has been hiding right in front of me. Thank you for revealing this.
You bet! There are no secrets really, just discoveries waiting to be had :)
Wow. Thank you so very much. You are a great teacher. Now I can finally trash notebooks etc. and live on the fretboard. Between your triad lessons and this? Well. A corner of the guitar universe opens up so gigantic that I could never explore it fully. And it's enough.
That is great to read, Alex! I’m so glad to be helpful.
Wonderful lesson. Thank you.
Excellent
Thanks man , so many ways to verbalise these concepts but you make it simple and easy to understand. 👍🏽
So glad, Tony! More on the way!
Thanks for this lesson. So simple and clear to understand.
Glad you enjoyed it, Broda!
Hello Chris,
I am a new subscriber. ❤
Welcome aboard!! I’m glad you’re here.
I had this chord-scale connection light up for me while practicing I IV V arpeggios a while ago. All 3 of those chords are in the same scale. Well, duh, but when you see it, you see it, and can finally use it.
Right? And then you can never, un-see it either! Glad you enjoyed this one!
The flatted 7th is one string above the 4th, same fret as the root 🧡 Alohoho
Indeed! Great context!
…watch out for that B string!!
😊
The things you know intellectually but never think about till someone points it out
IKR? Still happens to me all the time on this damned thing :)
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very good lesson, but guitar is not a great instrument for teaching music theory! It's so obvious on piano
Indeed, I feel like that is why I was born :)
