Guitar Chords & Scales: The Secret Connection (Finally Explained!)
By Sean Daniel
Understanding Chord Construction and Scale Application
Chord Construction:
This lesson delves into the fundamental principles of chord construction. We will explore how chords are built using intervals, focusing on major, minor, dominant, and diminished triads. You'll learn to identify chord tones and understand their function within a chord. We'll also cover inversions and how they affect the voicing of a chord.
Scale Application:
This section connects scales to chords. You'll learn how to identify the scales that naturally relate to specific chords. We will explore major, minor, pentatonic, and blues scales, demonstrating how to use them to improvise and solo over different chord progressions. The emphasis will be on understanding the relationship between scale degrees and chord tones.
Putting it Together:
Finally, we'll combine chord construction and scale application. You'll learn how to select appropriate scales for improvising over chord progressions, creating melodic lines that complement the underlying harmony. This section will involve practical exercises and examples to solidify your understanding.
This lesson is designed for intermediate guitar players who want to deepen their understanding of music theory and improve their improvisational skills.
