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 ![]() 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? |
