It’s a risky business coming to skateboarding in your mid-30s, but something (probably meditating and yoga) has drawn me to it.  I’ve always loved the idea of skateboarding and it was a big part of the music scene I was into growing up.  I figured I’d give it a try before it was too late.  What is it they say? “Do something that scares you”. Well this kind of does, but I’m loving every second of it.  What’s the one thing you wish you’d done but didn’t get around to yet? Let us know 👇🏻🙏🏻 TBT to this post which follows on nicely from the G major key chart posted earlier in the week.  Here’s a little insight into the mixolydian mode.  This breaks down where the scale derives from, and a couple of ways to play it.  I always recommend playing and learning a scale horizontally up and down a string so as not to limit yourself to a box pattern.  Playing across the strings can be useful too though so the second fretboard diagram is one way you can play the mode across the strings.  I think upon this pattern as the E-shape (from the CAGED clarity series). To the major pentatonic pattern we have added the 4 and b7.  Any questions in the comments below 👇🏻🙏🏻 Just in case you missed it and you’re not on my mailing list, you can get 25% off ‘Essential Theory’ until midnight on Sunday (Eastern) with coupon code ‘THEORY25’ at checkout. 😍😘 25% off ‘Guitar Rut Busters: Essential Theory’ this Valentine’s Day weekend (until midnight Eastern on Sunday February 17th). Here’s a lesson on the kind of insight you can expect in the course.  A nice continuation from yesterday’s post, here’s how you can effortlessly find all the chords of any major key using a scale pattern and barre chord shapes. Use coupon code ‘THEORY25’ at checkout for your seat in class.  You don’t want to miss out! Link in bio 🙏🏻 Just trialing a new idea.  What do you think? Let me know👇🏻 Use this as a barometer to measure your understanding.  If you can’t easily name the notes of any major scale or the triads in a key you should definitely check out my ‘Essential Theory’ course.  Seventh chords and modes will be in the next instalment coming at some point later in the year.  There’s more explanation of this graphic on my website blog so go and check it out, Link in bio 👍🏻🙏🏻 Can you see what’s special about the augmented triad?  Not found in major scale harmony, but essential learning none the less.  The special characteristic of the augmented triad makes learning the inversion SO much easier…because they’re the same up the strings!  The augmented triad is symmetrical.  There is an equal distance (a major third) between each note.  You get the next inversion by simply taking the shape up four frets. As the triad is symmetrical, any of the three notes it contains could be considered the Root.  More on this on my website blog 🙏🏻 Do you have your copy?  If yes, I’d love to hear how it helped you in the comments 👇🏻🙏🏻 If you don’t have it yet, you can get your FREE ’Fretboard Mastery’ eBook when you join my mailing list, and get your fretboard learnt in days.  I really should be selling this, but I wanted it to be available to help anyone that’s motivated enough to want to learn and grow.  You really should.  It helps everything that follows.  Links in my bio 👍🏻🙏🏻 @mateusasato always floors me with his ability on the instrument.  Everything that comes out of his fingers is gold, so musical and full of emotion.  He always reminds me that there is still a lot to learn and that I really do need to practise some more!  A recent post entitled ‘the breakup song’ had me reaching for Transcribe! to work it out and share with y’all.  You can download this image and see the video I transcribed it from on my website blog 👍🏻🙏🏻 Triad Number 3 of 4, the diminished triad.  We find this in major scale harmony when forming a triad from the major 7th (check out my ‘Essential Theory’ course for more on that!) Here, once again, are the different inversions rooted on C.  You can get more insight on this when you enrol in my new course, ‘TRIADS: Inside Out’. Module 2 drops tomorrow.  Links in bio yo 👍🏻🙏🏻
