Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

I will learn it when I got home, tried to play it yesterday looks good
I played classical guitar which involves reading notes, and knowing the names of the notes. I played tones of scales on this "examination boards". These tests involved getting a song, on paper, with notes not knowing it, and you had 1 minute to look in through then play it I also went through this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...-isaac-albeniz/ I was about 10-11 then was pushed kina hard then quit. Now I have picked up the electrical (2 years ago) and I have forgotten much of the theory. I still know the basic chords but need to learn more chords and progressions as you said. Basic scales: A minor + C major has all the notes named A,B,C,D,E,F,G F major + D minor has all the notes named A,A#,C,D,E,F,G I suppose I could re learn all the boxes but I want to see the whole picture more than just knowing the patterns of the boxes.

That's very good Erik! - seeing the whole ensemble rather than just learning things visually is a very good approach, although guitar is a visually appealing instrument and I bet everyone of us feels that way
Well, let's see, first things first - in order to see how the alterations appear in scales and have a good ensemble view, I would recommend you to take a look over the circle of fifths (fourths) After that I would suggest you take a look at these: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_1/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_3/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads...a_Song_Context/ they will give you a very good insight on how a major scale is harmonized using triads. I think these are a good starting point for understanding what's going on with scales and chords and how they are related. Let me know what you think after looking at them all the best Cosmin I will learn it when I got home, tried to play it yesterday looks good I played classical guitar which involves reading notes, and knowing the names of the notes.

We could work on that if you'd like - I find it as the easiest path towards success

Sure thing
Make me a practice schedule that involves theory, ear training, and maybe technical playing but we can involve that later |

Mornin' Erik!
here's what I suggest you do until next Thursday: 1) Pick up the circle of fifths - if you understand how it works, go straight to the point - if you go through it clockwise, you'll notice that the notes go from 5th to 5th (C G D A E B ...) - C major has no alterations, but they start appearing from G major onwards: G major has one #, D major has 2# and so on - Apply the major scale formula starting from each root (w w h w w w h) and figure out ALL the major scales contained in the circle of fifths and their relative minors (inside the circle there are the relative minors for each major scale - you cna figure them out by re-arranging the notes in each major scale by simply starting the scale from the relative minor. i.e C major = C D E F G A B C/ it's relative minor Aminor= A B C D E F G A) - use this lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_1/ as an example of how you should harmonize ALL the scales above. - that means you shall attach one chord to each step of a major scale after the following formula: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 M m m M M m diminished M As for ear training try the following: - play a C note and then each note in the C major scale in turn like this - play one note than sing it than play the C note and so one - play the C note and then JUST SING - no guitar involved - each note like above and then the C note, then another note from the C major scale i.e. play C - play D, sing D. Play C - Play E, sing E play C - Sing D, Play C - sing E get these through as well as you can and let me know if there are questions Cosmin |

I mean we have:
C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C M-m-m-M-M-m-Dim-M Is it then also in G major: G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G M-m-mM-M-m-Dim-M ??? |

Cool, I see the connection now, will learn all parts and apply to maybe not all 14 but a few more keys to start with
Any theory behind why it becomes like this? |
