Description
Welcome to the Guitar Music Theory Workshop! This course is designed for guitar enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of music theory in a practical and flexible way. Our focus will be on providing you with essential tools and knowledge to enhance your guitar playing.
You will learn about scales and intervals, gaining a clear understanding of different types of scales and how intervals shape musical harmony. We’ll delve into various scale formulas, comparing them and learning how to construct and utilize them effectively. You’ll build the musical alphabet and number the notes to comprehend their relationships.
The course will cover modes, listing and analyzing them, and discussing their interrelations and applications in music. You’ll create a table of interval names and discover how intervals form the building blocks of chords and scales. We’ll also assemble a fretboard diagram to help you identify notes in scales and chords.
Additionally, we’ll arrange notes in a circular format to visualize relationships between notes and understand chord construction. Throughout the course, you’ll use flexible worksheets tailored to support your learning and guitar practice, engage in hands-on activities to reinforce theoretical concepts, and apply music theory directly to your guitar playing for immediate results.
