This is a twisty exercise for learning the interval shapes in an octave starting on the E, A, D and G strings. It will make a little more sense after watching Music Theory for Guitar Lesson 3 • Intervals.  I'll have another Interval Practice coming this weekend

Other lessons in this series:

- Intervals Lesson

- Practice 2

Check out the Lesson Archive for more Music Theory lessons.

This lesson is part of my Music Theory For Guitar series.

Interval Practice 1

This is "Interval Practice 1" by Scott Paul Johnson on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Terence Wehle

Like Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini :-) F, F, F#, F, G, F, G#, F

Terence Wehle

Well... may not, I think its actually: F, F, G, F, G#, F, A, G#

In the first interval lesson it's mentioned that a whole step ( C - D ) is a Major 2nd, why is it now called a m2 in the practice?

Bardan Robert

Are you sure? He said that: 1h - minor second (half step) C - Db 2h - major second (Whole step) - C - D

Cesar Alvarado

hi scott, when do we know we can move on to the next lesson?

Armel Chiza

Great practice video. As someone who took on guitar a year ago, your lessons certainly created a good and coherent theoretical structure to learn. I look forward to more soloing lessons ( I IV V etc.) as well as arpeggios in the near future. The fact that the lesson pace isn't crazy is also helpful for morale. Thanks.

Awesome Armel. Thanks for being here and I'll keep doing the soloing lessons. AND I'm tinkering with the pace because - yeah - it was pretty intense for me for a while

Daniel Allen

as someone who could never get a good practice routine going, i'm really appreciating all these little exercises. do you think you could post that practice track along with the pdf here? thanks!

Teddy Haricharan

Thank you, seem to be having issues with download of the pdf for the practice. @Scot, can you send me that if possible

Archiette Watts

Practicing always helps to remove the initial fear of accomplishing each scheduled practice. Your sessions are reviewed liked personal notes from a class. This is great. I'm encouraged not to be afraid of not accomplishing each skill that you introduce. Is it possible for you to complete worksheets

Archiette Watts

Sorry. I did not finish my comment. It would be helpful to have PDFs form:

Archiette Watts

Before I leave "Music Theory", is it possible that offer: Minor Scale Scratch Paper, so more insight on how Intervals are used or how they are connected with your sessions on Major and Minor Scales etc. Help me connect the dots. Through the years I've accumulated a lot of pieces of information. Now I must make sure I understand how to store in my head not only what is taught me but how to connect the building blocks. I am committed to slow my roll until i get all of this great info stored in my head, fingers, and ears so that I can smile and honestly know that I got it! Thank you.

I am having trouble with the practice website because it’s hard for me to identify them . Is there a trick to knowing it .. I don’t know if that made sense

Sam MacIntosh

Hey Scott, just flagging here there’s a busted link in this lesson on the archive, had to scroll manually to find it. The second link is fine though!

Jeffrey B Grabo

Can i download the track you use for practice here?

Scott Paul Johnson
>>64585514

Thats a good question. For this one I was kind of thinking people would just play along with the section at the end of the video. Its just a drum beat, but I can add it to my to do list if people think it would be helpful to download some practice beats.

Jeffrey B Grabo
>>64585514

Actually no worries, I dont mind just playing along with the video on this one! No need to make unnecessary work for ya. Thanks!

Whitney-Jocelyn Kouaho

What is the difference between an "E string octave" and intervals in the key of E? Or E major scale? Or is that the same thing?

Scott Paul Johnson
>>65598306

Hey Whitney! It sounds like you might wanna start at the beginning. Check out this list: https://www.scottpauljohnson.com/scotts-recommended-lesson-plan That should help clear up the difference between an octave, an interval and an E Major Scale. I'll explain briefly here, too. An interval is a measurement between one note and another. If you start at the beginning of the series(Music Theory for Guitar 01 | Major Scales,) you'll learn about whole steps and half steps, which are the most basic musical measurements. A Major Scale takes those whole steps and half steps (the most basic intervals) and arranges them into this formula: WWHWWWH Again, you'll learn this very thoroughly if you start with Music Theory for Guitar 01 An Octave is a specific kind of interval. The name of a specific measurement. It happens to be the distance from the first note of a major scale to the last note of a major scale, which happens to be a distance of 8 notes! Thus the "oct" part of the octave. Hope that clears up a bit, BUT watch this series from the beginning and it will make a lot more sense.

John

do you use a software that automatically labels what notes you're playing on the screen or you do you to edit in each note? thanks for the video :)

Ethan B

I don't understand the practical application of this lesson. Is it so we can pick out notes in a scale to match someone playing a chord? or help us negotiate vertically though CAGED shapes? Help us design phrases? Where can I use this?

Scott Paul Johnson
>>76188083

Hi john - my video editor and I have figured out a way to do it live, in real time. I used to have to edit every single note though

Scott Paul Johnson
>>78580868

Ethan - this is one of those lessons where you have to learn the basic language before you can really practically apply it to musical situations. As you start diving into Triads (coming up) this info will really help you understand what is going on. When you get to CAGED Basics (which you can watch right after this series) you'll start learning how to navigate through all the CAGED Shapes.

Sherlyn Paine

How this connects for making chords? Do I need to memorize all of this M2 ,m3,m2 etc..?

Scott Paul Johnson
>>84497677

These are the basic pieces needed to build chords, specifically major and minor thirds (M3 and m3) - it'll make sense when you get to the "Triads" lesson

Clement Kabiligi
>>64585514

I think I would love to practice with that, since it's kind of stretching a bit to seek the last section of the video (4:14'), play with it, and once you miss once or twice it's gone. Just clipping that one apart for practice. With it there is a cool functionality of going with the screen

Dhazrani Kusairi

Really like the structure of your lessons. I find that there's a nice pace from learning the "language" to the actual application. So far this is the only place where i've stuck with theory for more than 2 weeks. Haha. Thanks for planning out these lessons SPJ! =)

harsh ghesani

Hi Is there a play along for this exercise like the first two lessons ?

harsh ghesani

Hi Is there a separate play along for this exercise like the previous two lessons ? When do I know I am ready to move on to the next lesson ? Harsh
