Hello friends,

And welcome to another beginner friendly music theory tutorial. In today's lesson I'll be demonstrating how intervals, the space between two notes, are measured using the major scale. Discussing melodies, harmonies and chord changes by interval, instead of note names, allows us to describe techniques in the same manner across all twelve keys. Let's get started!

Great stuff, Rob, but hoping my head doesn't explode!

Hey Dawn, be sure to take this very slow. First memorize the major scale pattern and get use to calling those notes by scale intervals 1-7. Get that to the point where you can play it in your mind, and visualize the scale as you look at the fretboard, the other intervals will be much easier to memorize.

Hey, I like the above suggestions Rob. Thank you. I was thinking that it was all over my head too, But I think I get it.

Awesome Isa, so glad you're picking this up! I'll have a quiz up very soon. Questions like: what note is a 4th up from A? Feel free to answer that if you like, haha!

Ummmm wel, I dont even know my scales. I need to take a step back.

OK. Question, and this could be a stupid question, but, im a newbie and im just learning. Why does one need music theory??? I have taken piano and got a little bit of theory in my lessons, but, honestly, I just dont know why I need it.

Thanks for this, Rob. I know the scales and can call the notes (although not always very fast, especially descending). Now I'll go for the intervals. I like that "play it in your mind" technique too. I know, it all just takes time and patience is not my strong suit!

Sounds good. You need to have your musical alphabet memorized, then learn your major scale, then memorize the note names in the major scale, over time in all 12 keys. Just so you know, this is suppose to be a gradual process.

No stupid questions. A short answer is that my knowledge of how music works is what allows me to quickly, and accurately learn all the songs and techniques that I teach on this channel. E.G I don't need to guess what chords are in a tune, because I already know what chords are in that key. Music theory also allows me to hang on to musical devices that I like and apply them to my own original music. Without music theory, everything seems random, when in actuality it's all very uniform, redundant and predictable.

That makes sense. Ok. I got ya. Because right now it all seems random. And ive had some music theory learning piano. My teacher kinda would throw stuff at me, learning scales and stuff, but I never knew why. Now I understand. And for me it makes learning theory more applicable. Thank you for putting the missing link in place for me. Now I can move on. Bring on the THEORY !!!

Excellent presentation until now I really didn't understand intervals. Rob. Made a lot of sense.

Hey David, during the instructional segments, I'm using a pretty affordable camera mic made by Rode: <a href="http://amzn.to/2tGykIk." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://amzn.to/2tGykIk.</a> During the performance segments, I'm usually using a condenser mic by AKG, also relatively inexpensive: <a href="http://amzn.to/2gZGJke" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://amzn.to/2gZGJke</a>

So glad this did the trick Barry, I find breaking it down step by step really helps.
