INTERVALS for Guitar –crystal clear and ultimate guide

The MOST mind-blowingly BRILLIANT explanation I've ever seen ANYWHERE!!! Sir, you're a true blessing for every guitar player out there! THANK YOU!

WOW!!!! this made all these scattered pieces of knowledge in my head finally click... thank you!

Great exllanation. Great visuals. Amazing lesson

Wow. So much information! I need to watch this 28 more times

Excellent lesson

you explained melodic vs. harmonic on the guitar better than anyone ever has - in about a couple of seconds no less

You did it again Mr Rob, another awesome worthy lesson! Thank you so much for al the work and time you invest in this channel!

I've been looking for a good summary on interval positions along the guitar for some time. Got that and so much more. Very thankful for this video, and very happy that I was subscribed so that I could find it.

Great lesson. Thanks for sharing. 👊🎸🔥

Excellent thank you for making this much clearer!

Best lesson I've seen. Clear, concise, and to the point. Bravo.

It is clear and by far the best video about intervals! Thank you very much!

Brilliant presentation!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge..

so concise! this is seriously one of your best lessons yet, thankyou!

Great lesson, crystal clear indeed. Thank you <3

Learning the shapes of intervals on the neck is one of the most useful and rewarding things for a guitarist to know, and this video makes it exceptionally clear. Thank you, Rob! I'll just add for convenience that for inverting an interval inside the octave, instead of memorizing all combinations (some people might actually prefer it though), you only need to subtract its type from 9. For instance, a sixth would invert to a third because 9-6=3. Or a fourth would invert to a fifth because 9-4=5. That solves the problem of type, and as for quality, major inverts to minor and vice-versa, augmented inverts to diminished and vice-versa and perfect just stays perfect. ⚠A word of caution⚠: The following several lines may be tiresome, but they also might be important for people with a frame of mind that likes to understand the consistency of these designations. Some might call this pedantic, but you've been warned. Proceed at your own risk, no refunds for lost time! Notice that Inverting an interval is simply moving the upper voice to the lower voice (or vice-versa, of course). In particular, the lower note changes. For example, a C-G interval inverts to G-C , so a "C fifth" inverts to a "G fourth", not a "C fourth". Bear this in mind in the next descriptions, as the intervals in the example are all being transposed to a C fundamental. Ok, so contrarily to the diagram shown later in the video, an augmented fourth inverts to a diminished fifth, not an augmented fourth. Both intervals do sound the same, i.e., they're enharmonic, as you can see in the table at 7:39, but technically a b5 (Gb in the example) would be the correct inversion of a #4 (F#). That might then beg the question of what's the inversion of the augmented fifth also depicted at the table, and that would be a diminished fourth, b4 (Fb), enharmonic with a major third (E). Also not mentioned in this table is the interval of first, or unison, which is the interval a note forms with itself, i.e. 0 semitones. A first does not however invert to an octave, the subtraction from 9 rule only applies to intervals "inside" the octave, i.e. from the second to the seventh. The other interval not mentioned that will actually appear in common chord formation is the diminished seventh (bb7, or Bbb in the example), which is a semitone shorter than the minor seventh. And yes, it would invert to an augmented second #2 (in a C context, that would be D#), enharmonic to the b3 (Eb), although a #2 is very uncommon, unlike its extended version, the augmented (or sharp) ninth #9. Formally, extended intervals are also perfect/major/minor/diminished/augmented as their "inside" octave counterparts. However, it is true that colloquially one might call them flat/natural/sharp in respect to their perfect or major versions. For instance, one may hear "flat five" referring to b5 (dim 5th), or "sharp ninth" for #9 (aug 9th).

Fantastic lesson.❤

Never cease to impress!!

This is amazing. Well explained. Thank you!

This was incredible 👏
