- Numbering Scales, Chord Progressions and Modes
In this guitar lesson podcast we take a look at the interval structure of the different modes of the major scale and how musicians would number chord progressions that are modal. This involves naming the tonic pitch in a mode and then numbering its other pitches from there with consideration given to any change in interval structure (for example, sharp and flat degrees). Musicians will usually call the tonic chord in a progression and then number the other chords by their interval relationship to the tonic. This information is needed in order to study advanced concepts like modal interchange and borrowed chords because you must identify chords that are out of key by how they relate to the tonic chord on hand and not by their position in their own parent keys. You also hear comparisons and analyze the difference between the plain major scale and other major modes and the natural minor (a.k.a. relative minor) scale and other minor modes. - Guitar Music Theory Lessons

In this free guitar lesson you learn how to use CAGED arpeggio patterns to target chord tones while using pentatonic lead patterns. Specifically, you will target the root, third and fifth of each chord as you work through a progression. Targeting chord tones helps you to connect scales more closely to their related chords, as well as outline a particular chord progression. You will intentionally be emphasizing each note of the chord, creating a lead line that relates to the music. This approach is sometimes better than just randomly playing scales through a set of changes. You can apply this outlining technique to improvising, as well as to composing guitar solos, riffs, melodies and bass lines. - Key Changes, Borrowed Chords and Circle of Fifths
In an earlier guitar theory lesson, we learned about chord progressions and how to play by numbers. Although a great approach to many songs, you may have realized that not all of them fit into this system of numbered barre chord patterns. In this free guitar lesson you are going to learn why. Here you will look at several related topics including: modulation, key changes, modal interchange, borrowed chords, and the circle of fifths, also known as the circle of fourths. - What is the key of a song?
This free guitar lesson answers the question "What is the key of a song?" You learn about tonic pitches, relative major and minor, modes and key signatures. You see that the key of a song doesn't always reflect the true parent major scale and it's up to you to go beyond the basic details and sort out the other components at play. Several popular songs are used as examples. - Blues Guitar Lesson, Music Theory, Chords, Progressions, and Scales
