Steve Krenz

Learn & Master Guitar - Session 17 - Going Beyond the First Position - Part 3

In this course Steve covers Playing in any Key at any place on the Neck, learning the Entire Fretboard, Three-Notes-on-a-String Scales, Triplet, and Using Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs. In the How Music Works section he talks about Seventh Chords.

Three-Notes-on-a-String Scales are a way of playing major scales on a guitar that help you learn the notes on the entire neck of your guitar and also help you with developing speed, triplet technique, and soloing.

Seventh Chords are a combination of FOUR notes played together. There are SIX common types of seventh chords. With the addition of the seventh scale step, the number of ways all these tones can be adjusted adds up to more chord variations.

The estimated time to learn the concepts is 4 weeks!
