The Musical Alphabet (Chromatic Scale) & How To Use it (On Guitar)

This is an in-depth lesson on how to find & remember all of the notes on your Guitar - the easiest way! The lesson also shows you how to apply the knowledge to Jam in any key. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing this ! This is something I’ve struggled with lol. I can find notes but have such a hard time memorizing them. I love the idea of just recognizing the natural notes and then the sharps and flats will just fall into place. Seems so simple, but I never thought about that before !!!!!

also, and I don’t mean this in any weird way but I could listen to you talk all day ! Lol

Hey! No problem at all, I'm glad it was of use to you

Yeah it's something I struggled with a lot as well, as it seemed so overwhelming at first - it's like my brain repelled it! After a while the natural notes just seem to light up on the fretboard and with them, all the sharps/flats.

Ah really Haha? Thanks! It's not taken in any weird way at all Must be the 'Sunny Scotland' accent eh? Either way I'l take it

Great stuff! I reckon you'll have it nailed in no time

See we feel like that about every other accent, especially the US & English accent! - to us, we just sound flat - usually why British/Scottish bands sing in American accents to disguise it

I'm going to have a stream where I just phonate students' accents from around the world.

Vedy fauhst: Scottish for "very first"
Wot eezit: British for "what is it" as spoken by @Matt Wildcat

Haha! Thank you! Spelled out it's like something from Lord of The Rings

When people on my side of the pond phonate the US accent it's something like this:

A gatcha mayn - I got you man
Fur streengs and nat a prablem- Four strings & Not a problem
