Interval Guitar Lesson

Interval Guitar Lesson.
An interval is the distance between two notes and it is calculated from the lower note. Different intervals have different sound qualities. Learning intervals will help you develop your ear and it is a great ear training exercise. For instance, if you can recognize the sound of a Minor 3rd interval then you will
Pitches are named after the first seven letters of the alphabet
(C D E F G A B c')
C = DO
interval major chord (C 1 D 1 E 1/2 F 1 G 1 A 1 B 1/2 c')
interval minor chord (A 1 B 1/2 C 1 D 1 E 1/2 F 1 G 1 a')
Interval :
1 = whole tone = 2 fret

1/2 = half tone = 1 fret

Understanding modes Interval Guitar Lesson.
Understanding how to apply modes is one of the tougher concepts for guitarists new to music theory. Before you even try and understand how to apply modes on guitar you have to first make sure you understand what modes are and how they are created.
Why you should use modes
Before we start talking about how to use modes, lets talk about why you should use modes. One reason of using a mode is to melodically outline the harmonic changes of a song. What do I mean by that? Well by outline the chord changes of a song is your solos it makes your solos more interesting and relevant. It helps the listener hear the chord changes and keeps your melodies in sync with the harmonies.
Another reason to use modes is for composition. If you harmonize notes of a mode by stacking 3rds the same way you would with the major scale, you will have unique chords and the diatonic harmonies would be a lot different. (If that is confusing just keep reading).
Different approaches to soloing with modes
There are two different approaches you can take when improvising over chord changes. Both are equally valid and have their places. The first is called the horizontal approach to using scales. This approach means that you would use one scale to player over any related group of chords. So you would use the tonic scale to play over any group of chords in the same key. So if you have a chord progression Cmaj7, Dm7, Fmaj7, G7 you would use the C major scale for all three chords because they are all in the key of C major. This approach is good to use because it allows you to play melodically over a chord progression without having to memorize tons of scale and switch every chord.
The other approach is called the vertical approach, in which you play a different scale over each chord. So with the same progression you would use the following scales over each chord: Cmaj7 (C Ionian mode), Dm7 (D Dorian mode), Fmaj7 (F Lydian mode), G7 (G Mixolydian mode). This approach is usefully because using a different scale over every chord will help you outline the harmony a lot clearer because each chord has a mode played over it that highlights that chord’s tones.(source : justacoustic.com)
