Music theory serves as the fundamental root of all guitar playing, with the major scale being the essential starting point for understanding musical concepts. Learning the major scale in C first, then progressing to minor scales and modes, provides musicians with the knowledge to understand terms like 'flat third' and 'sharp fifth,' eliminating guesswork and enabling more informed improvisation and playing.

What's up, Vodto?
I'm play a little bit of beat it and I can play the cell. Okay, so it's like Heat.

That's as close as I can get it.
I've been playing 22 years. Heat.

Thank you, Rainbows and Fairies. I actually know a tune you might like.
Great fairy fountain.
What's up, mountain man? Yep. Well, I just didn't sleep at all.
So, like I just I just couldn't go to sleep. So, I just like about 30 minutes ago, I went to the gas station, just said, "Forget about it." You know, I got me an energy drink.
So, now I know I'm not going to bed, but I just had a hard time sleeping. I try to lay down a couple times, but you know, you're probably right, dude.
Yeah.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.

That's such a fun one.
Thanks, Rainbows and Fairies. What's up, Viper?
I feel you, mountain man.
Heat. Heat.
Okay, I'll check it out, dude.
Sounds like another banger, dude. Sounds like another emotional, you know, song. But this one sounds happier.
Mountain man.
Okay.
Heat.
How is it?
Hey, hey, hey.
Try and get those now.
Oh, that's what it is.
Cool.
Thank you. Thank you. What is up? What is up?
All right. What's up, y Uh, let me try that. Let me try that one. But I'll I'll make it more just like a rhythm section. So, we'll play like Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Thanks. Yes, for everyone. Um, that's Yas. Uh that's my girlfriend and she's also me managing moderator. So y'all be be on your best behavior.
Yeah, Yas is awesome. Everybody say hi to Yasmin.
Thanks fairies.
What's up Pops?
I do both.
Some songs, um, I put the pick down, but most of the time I'm holding a pick, but I also do something called hybrid picking, or southern people call it chicken picking.
And then all that is is playing with the pick but also using the the rest of your fingers in your hand like you would finger style. So it's mixing playing a pick with these fingers. You can do it something like this. Like see what I'm saying?
So it's like when you say, "Do you play with your fingers or with a pick?" The answer is yes.
Yeah, it's awesome.
So like this song I like to use no pig.
Are you happy?
Johnny.
I'm sorry. I don't know that one on guitar.
Yep. I always got my monster.
Puts a little pep in my step. He when I'm a little tired, I get goofy.
Yes. Um yeah like like I played by ear starting out for like first 10 year I've been playing over 20 years. first 10 years I was playing it was strictly by ear and tablete you know and then I started reading chord charts and that's the only thing like it's usually the only thing people would ever place in front of me you know if I'm ever in a session position or a jammer with a band they'll they'll just they'll tell you the chords and you have to figure out the But then after that, like um 10 years in later, I got a teacher and he started teaching me music theory and it just clicked and I was like, "Oh, this is so easy. I don't even need a teacher anymore." So, I went and just learned on the internet like everybody else.
I don't know that one. Rainbows and fairies.
That's no good.
Do I have another lighter?
Man, that's no good.
I think I got one.
I have to pause it for a second.
Give me one second.
All right, I'm back.
It really is like I mean theory tells us what has been done and what can be done and it helps us get rid of some guesswork.
Does that make sense?
Like if if you're playing over, let's let's say you play like hard rock or metal, someone gives you kind of a funky riff to play over, like a frigian riff, you know, it's good to know what friian is and to play that flat second, you know?
Um cuz that's what a lot of metal guys do. They play the open one, right? They play the open fret and then they play the one and then they play the four and like the fourth fret and u it's that kind of scale like almost Egyptian sounding and it it's so like what I like to recommend is the way I look at theory is like learn how to play in a major or minor key. All right, learn that. Learn your major chord and your minor chord.
learn that then start getting bits and pieces of information of theory like oh here's my diminished oh here's uh you know like the frigian mode you know I mean like like learn bits and pieces at a time and stuff that that that you can apply you know I'm not asking people to like write a 10page paper on counterpoint but it really does help get rid does some guesswork and it tells you what's been done, you know, like I you you don't have to have it to play music, you know, like I I like to call it pulling a Kurt Cobain. Like I I don't think Kurt Cobain I'm sure Kurt Cobain knew his chords and stuff like that, you know, but I'm sure if you played if you asked Kirk Cobain to play a C major 7, I don't think he could do it.
Now, he could do it, but I don't think he would know it. He would just be like, "Well, I know the C, you know." And that's fine. He has hit songs. I don't got no hit songs, you know.
That's good. That's good. Playing with others is a good way to learn. Um, I kind of learned how to play, you know, like on my own by myself. I don't have brothers and sisters or nothing like that. So there's there's not a lot of music in my home.
There was, but it was because of me, you know.
Yeah. Oh, he's played in a band. That's cool. I got to play in a band. Like I was playing for like three years and three years in, that's when I started playing in a band.
And back then, you know, I was like 15 years old. I didn't really know a lot of theory, but I knew how to play in a major and minor key.
So, I was able to just hop on and play with anybody.
I think that's really important is knowing that a big argument. Oh.
Yeah, I kind of like taking like bits and pieces of information and kind of I don't know how to think of it.
Kind of thinking of it because kind of like a combo in a fighting game, you know?
Yeah, that's true, dude. You're right, dude. Some of the best probably don't like uh Victor Wooten.
I don't know if he's like really really really into theory, but I've seen some lessons from Victor Wooten and he is like, "Don't worry about that theory stuff. Just play just play." And he'll play something like, you know, like a you know, something like that. Let's see. Let me think of something.
You know, he's like, just play, you know, Heat. Heat.
Now's the time to be Hello.
Hello.
until Yeah, that was like I was applying modes and I was kind of just letting my my hands just have fun, you know, like, oh, I know this is going to work. I know this is going to work, you know?
So, it's a mixture of just jamming using my ear and then using like the knowledge.
Um, I know like I switched from E minor pentatonic to playing over B friian and then C Lydian. And I got two different I got like a whole bunch of a whole lot more colors to work with. Learning your modes is is really cool because it's like you're learning how to paint, but you're learning how to paint with all these colors, not just the one color, you know, like the pentatonic or the major or the minor or whatever.
I mean like like here's here's here is lesson one on theory. Okay, here is lesson one. The major scale. We're gonna play the major scale in C. And we'll it don't matter your fingerings. You can figure it out because everyone knows it.
It's do me.
Everyone knows that.
Okay, now let's play a C minor scale.
All we're going to do is change two notes. No, three notes. We're going to change the third note a fret down, the third note, uh the sixth note a fret down, and then the seventh note a fret down. And you know what we get?
Not Okay. So, big deal. All right. Well, when someone tells you play a flat third, they mean taking that third note from the major scale and playing it one fret lower.
So, the minor scale has a flat third, the third notes flat, the sixth notes flat, and the seventh notes flat.
They're all played back a fret back from the major scale.
Everything everything about theory everything is derived from the major scale. So when someone says play a sharp fifth like a a C but with a sharp fifth then you you count 1 2 3 4 5. It's your power chord.
All right. And then you take that fifth note and you play it one fret higher.
Is any of that starting to make sense, Mountain Man?
And um Cole.
Yeah. Yeah. That's lesson one. That's really what you really need to know is lesson one. You know, take it and run with it from there. But yeah, so like I mean like your major scale or let's talk about the number system. All right, let's just play in E minor.
Okay.
Okay. I want you to play or someone's going to tell me to play a 145. Okay.
First step, we need to identify what the 145 is an E. So the one is obviously going to be E. Now let's count to the four in E minor.
2 3 4. Okay, that's going to be A. And then he said five. So 1 2 3 4 5.
So the three chords we're going to be working with is E, A, and B. A one, the four, and the five. And it usually sounds something like this.
Well, that's good. you know, that's that's like you're you're you're you know, that's like the core foundation. Like even players who know a bunch of theory, if they're improvising over something like with uh with a band and they just throw them a hard curveball, nothing hard to play, just something different, you know, like you kind of have to go back to your core, your roots, and you know, play something because like you you might not know what chord you're playing over when you're jamming with some people. You might not know all this theory stuff you can apply on the spot. You can just use your ear and feeling, you know.
Well, yeah. It's what it is. It's a 145 mountain man. 145 is always going to be a blues song. Almost always.
Yeah. I got I got my best buddy Brutus.
I don't know. Long time ago.
Uh you'll probably see him in a minute when he when he uh um comes back in.
He's a German Shepherd.
All right. So, I'm using the archetype Cory Wong, and I think it's pretty cool. It's pretty neat.
It's like a good stratty riff. Um Thank you.
Yeah, this Cory Wong amp is it's so good for strats.
a very emotional solo. Yeah, I can do that. Let me find an emotional backtrack if that's okay.
I type in emotional rock guitar backing track in a minor.
All right, let's just jam to this.
I am creating.
>> What's up, y'all?
>> Oh, just guitar. All right, I got you. I can do that. Yeah, that's that's a challenge. All right, check this out.
I can't do Oh, heat.
Oh, heat, heat.
Heat. Heat.
Oh, hey.
Oh, heat.
I don't know. I was just jamming. How was that?
I'm appreci That's awesome, Hamza. I'm glad I could help Um, what did I just read?
A really happy one. Okay.
A really happy one.
Let me think. I'm thinking happy. I'm kind of thinking cheesy. It doesn't have to be cheesy. It can just be upbeat. But I got something. Check this out.
Do you Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Hello.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
What's up, Gordo?
Yeah, I'm using the Boss RC1 and then I'm using um and uh an octave pedal called the OC5.
It's pretty cool. I don't know. I I really like Hendrickx and Van Halen. I know like it's the kind of answer a lot of people give or especially older people, but yeah, it be those two. But I do like some newer players. I've been listening to a lot of Jack Gardner, um, Polifia, Periphery, uh, Matteas Cado, Matteo Manuso was listening to him earlier. He's awesome. It's just a little three-piece.
Freaking awesome.
Yeah, the Bos the Boss OC5. It has a special feature. It's not just an octave pedal. Not well, it is, but it has the lowest note function, which means when you play a chord, it doesn't add the octave to every note being played, unless you're playing a line.
But if you're playing a chord, it'll add the octave to the lowest note being played.
It's pretty cool. So, it's like having a bass player following you just playing the root. So you can do like a Okay.
Okay.
Heat. Heat.
Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty cool little tool when you're playing by yourself, you know, and you got a loop pedal, you're good. You're golden.
You're good to go. Play something like u like loop. Let me turn this up a little bit. Loop something like this. It's like a Yeah. You know, just hold on.
Yeah, I actually used to know that one Black Keys song. This is Black Keys is a good band. I like them.
Oh, no. I can't sing, dude. I'm not I'm not a singer.
Y'all recognize this one?
Happy far.
Is it a little faster than that or am I playing am I playing it too slow?
Heat.
Heat.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
Wow. Wow.
Okay.
So, yeah, you're trying to um get your way into it. Uh, you know, really helped me cuz like I I didn't have like a ton of friends who played guitar when I played and the friends I did know who played I what this is a long time ago. We we couldn't get a hold of each other the way you can get a hold of people now.
But what I'm saying is like I had a subscription to Guitar World magazine and Guitar World magazine gives you tabs at the end of it and it kind of teaches you all that stuff and it's a good read.
But I I don't think anyone reads magazines anymore. So maybe just check out guitarworld.com and read some articles about your favorite players. You know, I think it's a good place to start is learning about your favorite your kind of your favorite kind of music, your favorite kind of like your favorite player.
I think it's a great place to start instead of trying to absorb everything like a sponge and you know like I I know what you're trying to doing but I don't know just focus on what you want to hear and how you want to play.
There it is.
Yeah, dude. Guitar World.
I think now they just they they probably have an app now. Shoot. I don't know.
But I mean like they're still doing their thing. They're interviewing like Polifia and Mattea Cado and uh everybody, you know, like I think Matteo Manuso is probably like the best out right now, but Jack Gardner just made his debut.
Like it's not really his debut, but he he put out his like a new album and he just finished a tour.
Okay.
The major scale is the root of all musical theory. Okay. Whenever someone says play a flat third, you don't know what I'm talking about. I know but when someone says play a flat third something like that someone says music it's referring some some part is referring to the major scale. So your first step what you need to do is learn your major scale in C.
Learn how to play it in one spot. And if if if you play enough, learn how to play in other spots. But learn it in in C.
Whoops.
So, I played the C major scale all over the neck, you know. Um, then, uh, that's step one. Then step two, learn minor. We were just discussing this earlier. Learn how to play in a major key and in a minor key.
And if you can, since you read tabs, you know, like learn your favorite songs.
But like the the terminology is going to come from reading or just talking to people.
But that is what you need to know is that the major scale is the root of everything.
Yep. And I give lessons.
Just shoot me an email, you know, with with your name or whatever or title title guitar lessons and I'll get back to you.
I do them on Zoom or did she put that part? Uh yeah, I do it on Zoom, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, whatever works for you.
Yeah, no problem.
You like E minor? Okay. I like E. I play almost I play a lot of stuff in E. It's it's I have that habit because I grew up playing metal and Metallica and stuff and a lot of metal songs are written in the key that it's tuned in.
So, it's always like your lowest open chord is going to be the key of the song. And that and that kind of stuck with me. So, I play a lot of stuff in E, but not just minor, like E major, too, you know.
Yep. Thank you guys.
Yeah, man. I only like like I only like music that's an E.
I only play music as an E because like it's just, you know, it's just my style, you know, like like I'm an E. My name is Ethan, so I just like the key of E, you know? Everything else, it's not for me, man.
There's always that one guy. There's like if I played um Oh, dude, it's so funny you brought up cap beef heart. All right, let me ask you this. Uh I don't I can probably make up a cap and beef heart type song that they that they play or something. It'd be like how would Captain Beef Hart play? Okay. Okay, I got it. Okay, I got it. You You would You would hear this.
You You would hear this. You hear and then you hear this.
You hear I don't know. It wasn't It wasn't noisy enough to beat Captain Beef Heart.
Yeah, I hear you.
Yeah. I was going to ask you like do you like Captain Bart? Like do you really get it? Do you really like the band or do they just sound like noise to you?
Seriously.
And and I'll give you my answer. I just want to hear your answer first.
Thank you, Yasmin.
Okay, so you you like Okay, I can't tell if you're messing with me, if you're serious. To me, dude, they sound terrible.
They sound like I don't think they know how to play Safe as Milk.
I think they played it one way. They recorded it and then they never played it the same way ever again cuz they didn't know what they did. They don't ever know what they're doing when they're on stage. They crazy, dude. It's all hard to listen to.
See, he gets it. Like that's the thing.
Captain Bart is like this edgy. Okay, I really don't know much about him, but I think like It's It's like like like like how he put it. It's kind of like a joke band. Like like people hear him, "This can't be a real band. This can't be real. There's no way these guys are serious, you know?" But it's like a fusion jazz psychedelic hippie stuff.
Everyone's tripping on something so hard. They're all in their own world playing their own thing and the singer is so sweaty.
It's just it's like a like listening to them is like a fever dream.
Abstract blues, I guess.
If I was going to play abstract blues, what would abstract blues be? So, I'm going to take a 145. I want to make it abstract. Okay, I know what I'm going to do. I know what I'm going to do.
Okay.
Down.
That's what I would call abstract blues.
I don't that's probably not abstract blues. I was trying to use different chord voicings, but still uh a 145 and then shred over it and call it abstract blues.
No, I did not listen to the Robert Johnson boxer. Robert like like the blues player Robert Johnson. No.
All right. You guys want to hear an original, a cover, or some improv?
Or you just want to noodle around? What do y'all want to hear?
Thank you. Coal.
Wait. No, it's Yeah. Coal. Okay. Cold. Cold. Okay.
Thanks, man.
What's up, Miss Heidi?
Original. Okay.
Playing original using this amp.
Oh, I know what I want to play using this amp. I want to play summer.
Yep. That right there. All right. Here we go.
Heat. Heat. N.
