Chris, im not commenting on videos a lot but you're lessons are worthy of it. The way you are explaining all those concepts works like a charm, and im glad i stumbled across your channel. Been learning theory with your videos for half a year now, and i can't wait to grasp even more knowledge from you. Keep doing what you're doing!
Wonderful lesson. After repeatedly watching, I had an additional AHA moment when I realized it's possible I already know a lot of interval shapes (above and below the root) after learning triads.
I took music theory in high school because I was a band kid with an Arts major (I played drums in marching band). I watched your video on Marty’s channel and learned more about theory than I did in class. You sir are an amazing teacher🎉
Once again you did it! Filling the gaps of intermediate player as I am with easy and funny knowlendge you free to the world! I integrate these lessons of yours within my practice routine, and it fells great, because helps with the building blocks of my knoledge as a musician, not as only a guitar player! Thanks for spreading the beauty of music to the world, for sure it helps the sensitibity of some peolpe, to make a better world. Thanks Chris!
Thanks for this, Chris. It is very helpful for me in learning to hear differences between notes and also to help with trying to play(learn) songs by ear.
Yeah these thirds and this "mode" are really widely used. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Once you start looking at the fretboard like this you cannot "unsee" this stuff!
Very good Chris. I have been looking for a while for a lesson on how to play the guitar parts 'underneath' a song not the melody or lead parts but the often pretty and very interesting parts,eg Tom Waits ..Downtown Train .. In fact what about a video on this very subject 'guitar harmony under a song' 👍
CHRIS, Pedal Steel players use sliding dyads all the time which you should make a video lesson on which intervals you can bend the notes behind or above to get those pedal steel licks. Mostly pedal steels players try to focus the dyad around the 6th scale degree or 6th chord tone or also playing Sus2 or Sus4 dyads bending into the b3 or 3. A good trick if you hit a wrong note out of key note you add a dyad interval which softens it up.
Hi Chris, I just discovered your channel on a search for interval videos. I like your teaching style very much. Question: in one of your videos you mentioned an Interval Mastery Workshop or class that you were teaching. Is that something you are only teaching in your local in-person classes, of is it available via Patreon?
Hey Jeff, thank so much, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! Yes, I teach live mastery courses for triads, modes, scales and more. While these are open to everyone, I offer Patrons advanced registration and the courses usually sell out. The next course is on the major scale modes and starts on Sept 9th. There are still 4 spots available for that one. Let me know if you’d like more details, email me at: Chris at curiousguitarist dot com
3rds and 6ths are the same interval simply inverted. Once you start getting these ideas and concepts on the fretboard it really accelerates your progress. Love the AT stuff, he's a hero of mine for sure!
Great question! I guess I’d call that blending chords and scales and intervals in an improvisation over a slow minor key chord progression. Not sure if it translates to a specific style exactly. What does it sound like to you? How would you define it?
@@curiousguitarist Oh my, I guess purely by the sound of it I'd call it a Mark-Knopfler-Picked-Fingerstyle-Chord-Melody, but I'm not good with names ;)

Wow, thanks for this comment, wakee, I appreciate it and I’m happy to be helping
This is a 12 minute video that will keep me busy for months, or probably years. I don't care, I'll take the time necessary until I've got it.
Merci.
You are so very welcome! I’m happy this one is landing well for you, Lawrence.
Wonderful lesson. After repeatedly watching, I had an additional AHA moment when I realized it's possible I already know a lot of interval shapes (above and below the root) after learning triads.
Perfect! Thanks for sharing that. Sometimes it takes a minute, staring at the same thing, before you see it differently. Great comment, thanks!

Thank you MrFox, I appreciate the comment, and glad you’re feeling to world getting more musical!
Love Chris’s chops
Thanks, mate!
awesome teach!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Johnpaul!
great lesson and glad to have an intro to messages from her, great tune.
Like your lessons Chris, exellent. The base to discover other intervals.
Exactly!
I have been studying intervals for a couple of weeks now. It is getting easier to understand and apply them. Thanks for the video lesson!
You bet.
Fantastic, Chris! Thank you.
My pleasure!
Beautiful playing. Very useful lesson, thanks Chris. ✌🏼
Thanks Steve! Nice S-Type in that picture!
Thanks, Chris. Very helpful.
You bet!!
Love this! Thanks Chris! 😊
Of course, Audrey.
Mahalo for the most excellent lesson!!! Great exercise!
Of course, Kevin! Mahalo for all your support! Aloha~
Brilliant! You can’t hear where you are going if you don’t know where you are.
Truth Robert!!!
Thanks Chris
Of course!
Good one, I will practice this next time I'm on the guitar.
Great video Chris.
Thanks, Ben. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Excellent lesson!!
Thanks, Jim!
Thanks for this, Chris. It is very helpful for me in learning to hear differences between notes and also to help with trying to play(learn) songs by ear.
Yes indeed, this type of study will accelerate your ear training as well!
Good video, very well explained.
This video should help me,because most of my soloing sounds like scales.
having intervals down helps when out there note chasing. great lesson as always Chris, thanks.;)
You are welcome of course! Thank YOU Bubba, for all your support
Chris, not to pander,but you are the best f@#king teacher on the inter webs
Thanks mate, that means a lot to me. ❤️
Let there be light🎉💡💡💡🔦🕯️At last. Thanks Chris.
Ha! Great comment! Thanks, Ray!
As always, very helpful. Seems to have been a while since I've seen you're "out the box" vids. Always different for sure.
Glad you enjoyed this one Tony! The next step after this is to investigate the intervals "in between" the ones O covered here :)
Great exercise,never loooked at it like this. Thanks !
That melody by the way sounds like "Time" by Hans Zimmer.
Yeah these thirds and this "mode" are really widely used. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Once you start looking at the fretboard like this you cannot "unsee" this stuff!

I love that idea, Chris.
Chris, you need to get one of those "thanks" buttons for the channel so people can give random money tips.
Haha! It’s n the description of every video, and on the “about” tab on the channel page!
Yessir!
LoGeeeeeee! Yo man, how are you!?
And lovely looking eye candy guitar Chris 😍👍
Ha! Thanks, Frank! This is the first Strat I ever bought, back in 1989.
Cool info! 89 was a helluva year!

Can you talk about rhymth on guitar Chris?
As I was getting down to a double stop lesson by Andy Timmons, this video popped up. I was puzzled by 3rd and 6th interval harmonies in AT’s lesson😅
3rds and 6ths are the same interval simply inverted. Once you start getting these ideas and concepts on the fretboard it really accelerates your progress. Love the AT stuff, he's a hero of mine for sure!
👍👍✌
Hi Chris I cant find my way to the patreon page
Here you go Tony: www.patreon.com/chrissherland
In the demonstration section, what is the style of playing called?
