Hi, Clément here
In this video I'll talk about theory
and will explain what's a scale
because we often here talks about scales, arpeggios, chords and this type of things
but concretely what is a scale?
I will explain all of that and show you two diagrams
of the major scale
one changing position the other not
to understand all of what I'll explain you can read the article on the Gypsy Jazz theory
in which I explain all of that, how to build a scale or a chord
you'll have some notions and you will better understand what I'm going to talk about
so, if you haven't read it you can click on the 'i' for info in the top right corner
and then you can come back to this video
So, to explain what's a major scale...
in this video I will talk about major scales
a scale is a set of notes
and these notes are interconnected
by a principle
So, a scale is a set of notes
and these notes have a precise gap
between each notes
for example, the C scale, it is C D E F G A B C, I think you know that
then we have a tone between C and D and between each notes
on the guitar a tone corresponds to two frets, and half a tone to one fret
between C D we have a tone, D E we have one tone
and betwen E and F we have a half tone
then between F and G we have one tone
between G and A we have one tone
A, B one tone
and between B and C we have half a tone
so, in fact this layout of tone and half tone
is what allows you to create the major scale
and if we take as example a minor scale the layout will be different
this is this half tone and tone structure
which makes a scale major or not
and if we shift this structure on the neck in other keys
we would obtain other major scales
so that was to explain to you how to build a scale, it's a set of notes
linked by that notion of note and half note
determined by a few rules
Now that you know what's a scale I will show you the C scale
a first diagram that you can play in one position
So, here I'm just play C D E F G A B C
so that was the first diagram, you can find it in the downloadable PDF
I will explain all of that at the end of the video
so that's the first diagram with this one position I'm playing here on the neck
and I'm playing with one finger per fret
So, of course, that's the diagram at this level of the neck
but we can find it at other spots with other possible fingerings
and I will also show you a second diagram
it's still the C scale, with this one the position changes up
Here, it's the same thing I'm playing C D E F G A B C
but the fingering is a bit different
allowing me to climb up the neck a bit higher
I'm playing it one more time a bit slower
that's the major scale
so, you have two diagrams
one that changes position the other does not
of course you can adapt this diagram
in other keys, for example if you want to play it in G
you can use the exact same diagram
and you will have the G scale
you can for example play the diagram that changes position
from here
and you'll get the A scale
so it's nice to know by heart the diagram
to really know it on the neck
and then work on it in other keys and on other chords
it will allow you to know better the neck
and then be able to improvise on pieces with different keys
you can find these different diagrams
in the PDF, so if you are on Youtube you can click on the description
there is a link leading you to the website apprendre-le-jazz-manouche.com
