Lesson 13: Improvising With Relative Major and Minor Scales
Posted on by Neill
Remember you can zoom in and out on the images in this post by pressing
Ctrl + and -
Relative scales are scales that share the same set of notes but have
different root notes (because they are in different keys). They sound
different because their intervals (distance of the scale notes from the
root note) are different.
For example here is the C Major scale.
Note Names: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
Formula: 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12
C Major Scale
It sounds the way it does because of the order in which you play the
various intervals, from the C to the D (0 - 2), from the D to the E (2
- 4) etc.
But what if you kept the same notes but started on the A in stead? Well
then you would be playing the relative (Natural) minor scale of this C
Major Scale.
Note Names: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A
Formula: 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12
Using the Five Fret Pattern you can see that although the notes are the
same the intervals are different. A to B (0 - 2), B to C (2 - 3) etc.
So to find the relative minor scale of any given Major scale you simply
start playing the same notes from the 6th note of the Major scale. To
find the relative Major scale for any given Natural minor scale you
start at its 3rd note.
C Major and A minor Scales
In the above diagram you can see all the notes of the C Major / A
Natural minor scale.
Can you see where I got the earlier diagram for the C Major scale from?
It starts at the eight fret. So if you want an easy way to find the
relative minor scale simply start playing from wherever you see an A.
Like the example below.
A minor Scale
Knowing how to find the relative minor scale for every Major scale is
useful for several reasons. First of all it means that if you know how
to play the Major scale you automatically know the Natural minor scale
as well.If you practice the Major scale in all 12 keys you'll know its
relative minor in all 12 keys as well.
It means that when you are improvising you can easily switch between
the two scales to get a different sound.
Listen to this song Otherside by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (the chord
progression for most of the song is Am - F - C - G) and play the above
C Major scale over it.
Next play the A minor scale. Can you hear how they sound different?
Now use the below diagram to improvise over the music, but rather than
sticking to just one scale pattern for each scale, try to play all over
the fretboard in stead.
In order to still get the two different sounds choose to switch your
focus every 60 seconds or so between the A and C note. So start and end
your licks on A for 60 seconds, then start and end your licks on C for
the next minute.
For extra bonus points focus on the intervals that are different for
each scale: 0-3, 0-8 and 0-10 for the minor scale and 0-4, 0-9 and 0-11
for the Major scale.

Lesson 12: 6th and 7th Chords
Posted on by Neill
Remember you can zoom in and out on the images in this post by pressing
Ctrl + and -
In a previous lesson about chord progressions you may have noticed
chords with a 7 behind them V7 or IIm7, examples of which are the G7
and Bm7 chords. These are called 7th chords.
7th chords are chords that consist of 4 notes, starting with a Major or
minor triad and playing an extra note on top.
Before I show you how to construct and play these chords let me briefly
touch on the naming of intervals and chords. The names 7th and 6th
refer to intervals used in these chords. So far in these lessons I've
avoided using the standard interval names, such as minor 2nd and
Perfect 5th because in my opinion they only confuse guitar players who
are just starting to learn music theory. The number one priority at
this stage is to know how to construct chords and scales and to be able
to see them easily on the fretboard.
In future lessons I'll talk more about standard naming conventions for
intervals and then you'll be able to discuss Augmented 9ths and Perfect
11ths with piano and violin players as much as you want.
Using our method of counting the fret distance from the root note you
should easily be able to remember the formulas and apply them to the
fretboard using the Five Fret Pattern. Remember the formula for the
Major triad is 0 - 4 - 7 and for the minor triad it's 0 - 3 - 7.
Below you'll find the name of the chord, the common symbol for it, the
formula, an image of all the notes for that chord across the fretboard
and an example of of a voicing of that chord. Note that the chord
shapes shown are moveable along the fretboard, just play the same shape
at different places along the fretboard.
Name: Major 7th
Symbol: M7 of Maj7
Formula: 0 - 4 - 7 - 11
Example: BbMaj7: Bb, A, D, F
Bb Major 7th Notes
Example Voicing: BbMaj7
Bb Major 7th
__________________________________________________________________
Name: Dominant 7th
Symbol: 7
Formula: 0 - 4 - 7 - 10
Example: Bb7: Bb, G#, D, F
Bb Dominant 7th Notes
Example Voicing: Bb7
Bb Major Dominant 7th
__________________________________________________________________
Name: Major 6th
Symbol: 6
Formula: 0 - 4 - 7 - 9
Example: F#6: F#, A#, C#, D#
F#Major 6th Notes
Example Voicing: F#6
F# Major 6th
__________________________________________________________________
Name: minor 7th
Symbol: m7
Formula: 0 - 3 - 7 - 10
Example: Bbm7: Bb, C#, F, G#
F minor 7th Notes
Example Voicing: Bbm7
Bb minor 7
__________________________________________________________________
Name: minor 6th
Symbol: m6
Formula: 0 - 3 - 7 - 9
Example: Bm6: B, D, F#, G#
B minor 6th Notes
Example Voicing: Bm6
B minor 6
__________________________________________________________________
Learn the formulas for each of these chords and see how many different
ways you can play them along the neck, there are quite a few positions
for each chord.

Lesson 11: Standard Music Notation For The Guitar Player
Posted on by Neill
One of the challenges for guitar players wanting to learn how to use
standard music notation is knowing where on fretboad to play what's
written down on paper. It's one thing to read music notation and
another thing to then play it on the guitar.
Notes On A Staff
This is why tablature is so popular with guitar players, because it
shows them exactly where on the fretboard they should play. The
downside is that tablature doesn't convey time, tempo and rythm.
The following diagram which was posted on Reddit and that has been
posted here with permission is a great tool for bridging the gap
between standard music notation and tablature.
Key
* The letters along the top from left to right are the note names of
the strings from the thickest to the thinnest string.
* The numbers indicate the fret location, from 0 (not fretted) all
the way up to the 24th fret (if your guitar spans two octaves).
* The letters down the right hand side indicate the note name at that
particular fret number and string. This example is for the Key of
C.
As an example lets see where we can play the notes from the above
diagram. E, G, B, D, F. Which we can remember with the mnemonic Every
Good Boy Deserves Food.
The E is on the bottom line of the musical staff. If you look on the
diagram below you can see there are three numbers on the lowest of the
five black lines. The numbers are the 12 on the E string, the 7 on the
A string and the 2 on the D string.
This means that the E on the musical staff above can be played at the
12th fret of the low E string, the 7th fret of the A string and the 2nd
fret of the D string.
Musical Staff and Guitar Fret Diagram
These note locations aren't something you'll be able to learn
overnight. My advice is to concentrate on learning the note locations
for the common chords that you play so that you can recognise them when
they're presented to you in standard music notation. For example learn
the music notation for these chords.
After that you should start paying attention to the notation of songs
that you're learning to play, not just the tablature. Many song books
feature both tablature and standard notation which you can use as a
good opportunity to improve your sight reading.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
