Learning Repeatable Fretboard Patterns Video Lecture - Guitar Become a

oftentimes we use the concepts and
symbolism of looking into a mirror as a
way of introspection and having to deal
and face the terrible and filthy things
you've done with your life if that
describes you I would suggest that you
suppress those emotions by learning how
to mirror chord voicings and arpeggios
in a musical exercise and the
demonstration we have today sound like
this so basically all we have there are
two different chord voicings and an
accompanying arpeggio this is going to
be in the key of G right the G key of G
major so our first chord our one chord
is a G major chord now the first thing
that I did there I used AG major 7 chord
voicing alright so what that means you
just take the G Major scale take the
first the third the fifth seven note
right now if you do the next octave of
it it would look even easier first the
third and the seventh it looks just like
a staircase okay so my pinky is on five
D my ring finger is on for G little
fingers on 3d and my index finger is on
two he s now a really easy chord to kind
of conceptualize it it may be a little
more difficult for you free to start out
to kind of really get in that position
to use all four fingers and kind of
stretch them out to their own fret right
now the beauty of this is we can mirror
this shape in one other spot while
staying in the key and that's going to
be on the four chord the one chord in
any key in the four chord can become
major seven chords right so this shape
will work use really wherever you want
but it's always going to work on the one
in the four all right so in the key of G
G a B C the C would be the four chord
right so if we go down to a C in we're
going to be here like my middle fingers
on the eight track and now we can do the
same thing and we're just taking octave
staircase that up to make a c-major set
record right so all I'm doing is I'm
mirroring exactly what I'm doing in the
G section of the chord and then doing
all the way down here on the T section
of the chord right so all I have to do
is you can think and distribute of frets
like if I'm rooted on the fifth fret
right here I'm going five and so you can
always think if you're on the one chord
five frets away five frets higher that's
where the four chords chord voicing
arpeggio is going to be right so I'm
just picking it out and this is also a
picking exercise too if you want to use
your fingers or pick I'm just going down
on the D and the g string and then top
even be strict write down and just
mirroring exactly what I'm doing on a G
and a C major seven right now after that
we'll kind of do the absolute of that
well maybe not the opposite but just a
different flavor is going to be a minor
seven chord voicing right and now there
are three chords in any key that become
minor seven chords it those of you the
chords on the 2 the 3 and the 6 so in
the key of G the 2 would be an a the 3
would be the one take this one and
obediently and then the six would be an
e right so basically we think is one
chord voicing I've got my middle finger
on the fifth fret of the low E string
there's my a my ring finger is grabbing
that minor 7 chord that interval right
there and then my pinky is grabbing the
5th fret on the g string so again
conceptually a very easy chord to
remember because everything is sharing
the same crap I'm just picking it kind
of like four notes things like very
steady one two three four e
all right there's my a minor seven I can
go a step higher to get a B minor seven
to the three chord then I can go
down to the twelfth fret to hit the six
chord the relative minor the E minor
seven
okay so I've got three here I've got a
minor seven C minor 7
okay and this is really an interesting
thing to know outside of just the ski
because it's works in any single key
like if you're in the key of a for
instance you know that the two three and
six will be like here's your name you
just go a step higher it's two more do
not even have know the chords I know
this is the two four three four right so
all the spacing between these mirrored
shapes is always going to be the same no
matter what key you're in alright
so again we've got the G major 7 C major
seven see you do that like twice right
[Music]
Tim it's 2 4 3 4 6 4 now we're gonna do
this we're going to arpeggiate these
chords ok so again we're in we'll start
with the east about the relative minor
right
and if take the E minor scale we can our
place needs echo by taking the 1 the 3
the 5 and the 8 or the 1 again
so Annie achieve me and another now
that's going to work over any of these
minor chords in the key now the way
we're going to play actually is we're
going to take the Rudolph slide into the
minor 3rd instead of playing it like
this we're going to slide from the roof
minor 3rd come back off to the 5th
grab the octave back so
and again a really good picking mister
zetsu because I'm picking down down a
lot to do with all downstrokes you've
got to challenge yourself there's a lot
of different ways to pick these
exercises but it's just a good idea to
kind of like get in a group where you
can do it quickly and then we're going
to be exact same thing starting on the B
minor and then on a gasps we've got here
and now we're going to the next octave
of this all right so if we're back here
on G again right this is going to be
where the next slide starts this octave
Y we hear the same thing find a minor
third back now you have to compensate
for the B string right if we just did
the exact same thing that wouldn't work
because the B string is tuned
differently so we've got a guy we have
to slide through these cubes this shape
now the way I played it in the intro I
just kind of took a little piece like a
minor or shape right here where my
middle finger is on the 17th fret of the
D string my index finger is a 16 fret of
the g string and my ring finger is on
the seventh fret of e school you can do
this on an acoustic you can reach this
high you can just do them in a different
spot using your back right but really
I'm just sliding into the minor third I
know is right there I know the next one
being the octave would lend me and on
the softer our right here and then a
doctor would give me a step lower right
so I can always repeat these
[Music]
I'll assist the next highest octave of
this little arpeggio run so gonna do the
whole thing okay start with this G major
7 2 times because it's me major 7 boys
back to G is at a minor 7 g minor 7
hitting G minor 7 ok we can get more
time run a minor 7 we give you our
pendulum and then maybe the second have
you go higher and then that energy so
it's a good way to kind of music we
practice chord voicings arpeggios taking
a lot of different things and I think
that is the number one way to practice
for me everybody's different you know
some people like a more structured kind
of scale based approach I always think
it's cool to kind of make something a
little more musical and hopefully you
can incorporate this in your own
practicing and if have any questions hit
me up on Twitter Instagram the comments
to the website and that will fire soon
thanks a lot
