What is a seventh chord?
– Seventh chords consist of a note added to the top of a major or minor chord. You can also add a note to the top of a diminished chord, but these rarely appear in popular music so I will ignore them. For example, your basic E chord consists of E, G#, and B. If you add a minor seventh to an E (the minor seventh of E is D), you have an E7 chord. The seventh chord follows this pattern: 1-3-5-m7. E7 chords appear most often in the key of A, because the E7 leads strongly back to the tonic A.

what is a Diminished chord?
– Generally speaking, a diminished chord is a chord which has a diminished fifth in it. More specifically, it is a three-note chord consisting of a minor third and diminished fifth above the root – if built on C, a diminished chord would have a C, an E flat and a G flat. The interval between the upper two notes is also a minor third – thus, the chord consists of two minor thirds stacked on top of one another. It resembles a minor triad with a lowered (or diminished) fifth. In the common practice period, the diminished chord is considered dissonant, or unstable. It lacks tonal center or drive because the diminished fifth symmetrically divides the octave. Adding a further minor third on top of the chord (if built on C, this results in a chord consisting of C, E flat, G flat and B double-flat, the last of which may be enharmonically respelled as A) makes a diminished seventh chord (so called because C to B double-flat is the interval of a diminished seventh).

what is a ninth chord?
– A ninth chord is created by adding a ninth to a seventh chord.

The most common ninth chords are built on the dominant degree in minor keys as well as in major keys. Since the ninth formed is major in major keys and minor in minor keys, those chords are called major dominant ninths and minor dominant ninths.The augmented ninth chord is obtained by adding an interval of augmented ninth to a dominant seventh chord. In many occasions, the ninth interval is simplified enharmonically. In these cases, the chord seems to be a dominant ninth chord with a major and minor third.

what is a pentatonic scale?
–
Pentatonic scales are scales formed of five notes (from the Greek pente: five). These scales have been very much used in the folk music of various countries. More recently, composers such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel have used them in their music. any scale formed of five notes may theoretically be called pentatonic.

what number of a note in a scale does a dorian mode start with?
– Because the mode is characterised by its interval structure, you can start on any note and progress with the
same intervals to produce a Dorian mode in that ‘key’. for example if you wanted to play in the key of G, the first note would be G and the last note, also G. Carlos Santana uses alot of these…

how many modes are there?
– There are 7 modes. The Greeks discovered them over 2,000 years ago. Pythagorus named them and these 7 ancient tags have stuck.
what are the names of the modes, in order?

– Ionian mode, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolien, and Locrian mode.

what is a harmonic minor scale?

– Sometimes the natural minor scale is equated with the Aeolian mode, but a key characteristic of music in the minor mode in the common practice period of Western music is the use of the leading tone, a half step below the tonic. Music using the natural seventh degree, called the subtonic, sounds modal to Western ears; this music is commonly used in Peruvian and other ethnic music, and by modern Western composers such as Vaughan Williams who prefer this sound. But in music written from the 16th to 19th centuries, the chord built on the dominant (fifth scale degree) is always a major triad, at least at cadence points; consequently, the seventh degree of the scale must be raised with an accidental to make this possible. The next most important chord, the subdominant, is typically a minor triad. These considerations of harmony lead to the harmonic minor scale, the same as the natural minor but with a chromatically raised seventh degree.
For example, in the key of A minor, the harmonic minor scale is:
A B C D E F G# A’
The harmonic minor scale is the same as the natural minor scale, except that the seventh tone is raised by a semitone (half step) both ascending and descending, e.g.:
C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B, C (ascending)
C, B, A-flat, G, F, E-flat, D, C (descending)

where is the bridge of the guitar, and where is the nut?
– the bridge is the piece between the vibrating surface and and the string itself. On the acoustic guitar, the bridge is the big wooden (usually ebony or rosewood) part that holds the strings via holes in back side, or with bridge pins. A bridge is a device for supporting the strings on a stringed instrument and transmitting the vibration of those strings to some other structural component of the instrument that transfers the sound to the surrounding air.
the nut is between the neck with the headstock. it is there to keep the strings in line.

have you been stumped yet? no

what is sweep picking?
– using both down and upstrokes with your pick thus doubling your speed. this is also called “speed picking”.

what is an arpegiation?
– it is to play a chord in arpeggio. areggio is the sounding of the tones of a chord in rapid succession rather than simultaneously.

what is a minor interval?

– Intervals are the musical distance between notes, measured by half and whole steps. Two notes a half step(or half a note) apart, like C and C#, define a minor second.

what is a major interval?

– it’s just like a minor interval execept a whole step or whole note apart.

how many sharps does the key of Bflat have?
– 2 sharps – A# & D#

how many flats does the key of F have?
– 1 Bb (meaning B-flat)

guitar instructor? i dont need a guitar instructor… I’d rather spend my money on loose women and beer.
