A quick note that like many music teachers, I have begun teaching online guitar, bass and ukulele lessons for beginning to advanced students using Zoom software. To my surprise it is fun, convenient, and productive in surprising ways! Hit me up. #guitar #bass #ukulele #musiced

To play a slash chord like Bb/D, here’s a tip: If bass note is a major third (often is) play a major triad on strings 2,3,4. Blue dot is root. The major 3rd will be two frets higher on string 5. Wherever you play this shape, the blue dot is the root. #guitartips #musictheory

When there are two or more names for the same note, such as Bb and A#, those names are said to be “enharmonic equivalents”. #musictheory #guitarlessons #guitartips

To hear Lydian mode, drone on A string while playing E Major scale on D string. (E F# G# A B C# D#) Resolve not to E but to A. A is the 4th degree of E major. So, the E major scale using A as the root = A Lydian mode. A Lydian = A B C# D# E F# G# #guitartips #musictheory

How to remember the names and order of the seven modes: "I Don't Play Lame Music Anymore Lately" This example uses the C Major scale as the parent scale. Just plug in a different major scale to determine its modes. #guitartips #guitarlessons #musictheory

The major and minor blues scales are often thought of separately, but are often combined. This is called the hybrid scale. Chuck Berry was a big fan. Green dots = root/shared Blue notes = minor Red notes = major Red/Blue = shared #guitartips #musictheory

Just Fine I’m part of the song be it slow, be it fast. I’m patiently waiting for that big cymbal crash. You can call me Al if you’d like that’s just fine, I always come last but I really don’t mind. Who am I? #riddles #musictheory

A good way to hear what Dorian mode sounds like is to drone away on the open D string and play the notes of the C major scale on the G string. Resolve not to C but to D. The C major scale using the second note D as the root = the D Dorian mode/scale. #guitarlessons #musictheory
