I’d like to go deeper into guitar playing by learning music theory. This article is my attempt to articulate my learning.
The KEY is the most importance concept in music theory.
What is a major scale? - start with a note then apply the pattern: WWHWWWH The guitar fretboard is just a slice in the matrix of infinite notes.
Why is the musical alphabet it is?
The major scale is used in the mapping of the sounds to the notes just because it is a good reference point for other scales.
You can also move the notes in the major scale up or down the neck consistently.
Twelve notes but only seven tones.
