Sample "Terminolgy" Standard Internet Type Free Stuff for Guitar
Ever wonder
if you needed Guitar Lessons? Then welcome to a beginners guitar
lesson from top rated instructor. This first lesson will focus on riff building using
a three scale progression. The first thing to learn is the
scale below, a Pentatonic Minor. Penta means five and tonic
means notes so basically, you will be playing a five note scale.
The notes in the A Minor Pentatonic scale are A, C, D, E, G, then
ending back with A note (one octave higher). Begin by slowly
learning this scale. If your new at learning Tablature whether
in Guitar Lessons or learning on your own, a quick easy explanation
is; the lines = strings, the numbers on the lines = frets,
the Thinnest String or high E string is represented by the
line on top with a small e and the Thickest String or low E
string is represented by the line at the bottom with a large
E. Ready? Lets begin.
A Pentatonic Minor Scale
e---------------------------------5--8----8--5--------------------------------------------------
----------------------------5--8--------------- 8--5---------------------------------------------
----------------------5--7----------------------------7--5---------------------------------------
---------------5--7------------------------------------------7--5--------------------------------
---------5--7-------------------------------------------------------7--5-------------------------
E-5--8--------------------------------------------------------------------8--5------------------
Practise this a few times, before moving on.
Shown below are the three scales that we'll be working
with throughout this lesson. You'll find the names of the notes
beneath each scale. A good student will focus during the course
of this lesson by also trying to remember the names of the
notes. Now, go ahead and give these next three a try. A Pentatonic
Minor Scale, D Pentatonic Minor Scale and E Pentatonic Minor
Scale. When you use good Guitar Lessons the benefits of each
scale will be explained to you in detail
D Pentatonic Minor Scale

RIFF BUILDING
A riff is a series of notes taken from a scale that may be used
to create a rhythm or melody of a song. This next example
clearly demonstrates how this riff was created by taking
notes from the A scale. After you try this riff a few times
and get used to it, we will then put this riff in order as
we did practicing the three scale progression, which will
demonstrate how you can create riffs from scales to build
rhythm parts to create a song. Any Guitar Lessons worth their
salt should teach you all about riff building.
OK, now that you have the basic idea, lets play these
riffs in order as we did with the three scale progression.
By now you should recognize each riff by it's scale name. For
example the A scale riff, The D scale riff, and the E scale
riff.
Well students, that will complete this lesson. I hope
this helped give you a better idea of scales and how scales
are used to build riffs and create rhythm parts for songs.
In our next lesson I will be showing you the formula for a
major scale by using whole steps and half steps. I'll be mainly
focusing on the key of C major as there are no sharps and flats
which will make it easier for you to understand, as the notes
in C major scale are C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C. I will also demonstrate
how this scale was used for creating some of the most famous
riffs in History, from Star Wars to Walking Bass lines, applicable
for all guitar and bass guitarist. Good Guitar Lessons will
cover the differences between Walking Bass lines and Star Wars
themes in details.
In future lessons I will be teaching you many different
elements of guitar playing from Blues Scales, Diatonic Scales,
Scale Formulas, Chord Formulas, Ascending and Descending Runs,
Bar Chords, Power Chords, The Gypsy Scale, The Diminished Scale
and Run, Guitar Licks, Fingertapping, Whammy bar Tricks and
much more. I will also give information on special effects
and equipment. Until then, today's lesson tip is: "He
who practices most, plays best!"
You will benefit from practicing on your own in your Guitar Lessons.
So until next time.....
