Q: I've gotten heavy into music theory lately. I just can't grasp how the basic theory is related to the guitar fret-board. For instance, how is the neck supposed to be analyzed? How should I study the important; intervals, triads & larger chords? What scales do I start learning first? The neck is super confusing for me. Hopefully you could make a video lesson clarifying this! Thanks Andrew. Thom -- Kirkwood, MO. USA A: Music theory, (when related directly to the guitar fingerboard), has a rather universal structure. This is due to how the application of notes to the neck obviously creates an easy to recognize vertical & horizontal grid. This grid, encompasing the layout of the frets and the strings, will always remain the same in standard tuning. Therefore by learning a combination of how the octave templates work, along with the intervals and the chord & scale formulas, we can bridge the gap between our; theory knowledge, our fingers and our ears. So, the study of the necks layout, the octave patterns and all of the; interval, chord and scale formulas is essential. You'll be very happy you did all of the work when the information becomes extremely familiar for use in your repertoire.
