Learn the fundamental building blocks of music on the fretboard.
Intervals are the bricks in the foundation of music. They may be the smallest possible chunks of musical study. Intervals describe the difference in pitch between two notes.
One note by itself has no significant meaning. But two notes can evoke feelings, based on their relationship to each other. This relationship is called an interval.
Intervals are responsible for the way music sounds, and how it makes us feel. Each interval has its own unique and colorful character, each evokes different feelings, and each plays a crucial role in harmony.
The lessons in this course present a character study of each interval, along with a map to find them on the fretboard, and exercises to help memorize and internalize them.
