Hi Joris,
I suggest you start with simple things like Chromatic scale, intervals and then move to scale and chord construction. Once you master that you can move to cycle 4 and 5 (keys with flats and sharps), then learn more about relative major and minor, and finally learn about modes. For jamming purpose learn minor pentatonic , it will come very useful for soloing. One website I suggest is www.musictheory.net You can also read Andrew's theory lessons on our Theory board. Feel free to ask any questions on forum or shoot me PM. Thanks Pedja |

Pedja pretty much summed it all mate. You have to go through the basics concepts first, like intervals, and then move on to major scales. Study the fifth and fourth circle and all the keys, and understand the relationship between chords and modes within keys. This should help you greatly not only in getting into music uni, but also help you understand music better.

Understanding intervals of each scale is very important.

Does anybody know why a guitar's highest strings are B and E instead ofC and F? If I look at the chromatic scale I think it would look more logic that way? I've always wondered about that... I used to think it had something to do with the G clef. Now I think it's just cooler to have another high E string when your lowest is also E and some guy decided to tune the second string to B and everybody did the same... The standard tuning helps to play barre chords with six strings. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

There are guitar players who use different tunings, but what is good about the standard tuning (versus to all perfect 4ths tuning) is that you can play easy chords and barre them vertically.
