For IFR students practicing Exercise 2: Melody, this is a demonstration of the exercise Seven Worlds in the sixth harmonic environment. Miguel 'Pintxo' Villar explores the harmonic environment on tenor sax.
I'm confused about how to understand chord shapes in relation to the major scale. For example, the 3 chord would be notes 3, 5, 7, 2. In learning to see this as a minor chord shape, should I be able to think of this as 3, 5, 7, 2 and 1, b3, 5, b7 at the same time?
In this free sample lesson from Deep Foundations for Guitar, you will learn how to build the notes of any key across the entire fretboard.
In this lesson we explore the sensations of tension and release in the second harmonic environment of the major scale.
