To understand guitar, you have to understand MUSIC. It's actually pretty simple. Music is a LANGUAGE with 6 "parts of speech".		1)The 6 Main Areas of Music
This just might be the most important fact you ever learn about music. Like any "word" in any language, you have to know your musical patterns on 4 different levels.		2)The 4 Ways To Know Your Pitch Patterns.
The guitar is merely the tool you use to express the language of music. You'll be surprised how few people really understand how it works.		3)The Dumb Machine
Chords are among the most important patterns in music and form the basis of our understanding of HARMONY.		4)Basic Chords
Chord names have 3 parts and you need to be able to figure out how to finger a chord by looking at it's name.		5)More About Chords
Now that we know something about chords, the challenge is to be able to PLAY them well.		6)Picking, Strumming And Practicing
The Musical Number System is the gateway to understanding all music theory but folks will often waste decades not understanding this critical tool.		7)Music By The Numbers
Where did our whole system of pitch come from? You'll find that the first patterns humans ever discovered are still the most important today.		8)Caveman Music Theory
All REAL musicians can read music on some level. It certainly is a valuable skill to have and it's easier than you think!		9)Notation
The horizontal aspect of the music notation graph represents TIME. Here we learn about the symbols used to express the RHYTHMIC content of the piece.		10)More About Notation
Welcome to Part 2 of the program. Now that you know the basics of music and how it relates to the guitar fretboard, we begin to examine those 50 pitch patterns we've been talking about since Lesson1.		11)Silence And The Note
Intervals just might be the most important concept in all of music theory but most folks don't know nearly enough about them.		12)Intervals
Now we need to learn how to finger these intervals and take a look at the fascinating subject of INVERTED intervals.		13)More About Intervals
Scales are among the most interesting patterns in music and folks are often surprised to learn how many there are.		14)The Must Know Scales
Like all pitch patterns, we have to learn our new scales 4 ways ... THINK IT, READ IT, HEAR IT SPEAK IT.		15)More About Scales
Why so many scales? You'll come to find that there is a separate scale for EACH CHORD that is in the song!		16)Still More About Scales
This is HUGE. You know a lot about intervals, scales and chords ... but how does it all come together to make up songs?		17)Diatonic Harmony A La Mode
Chord progressions are intimately connected to modes and understanding that can help you learn songs by ear more easily.		18)More About Modes
Now that you understand the basics of Diatonic Harmony, try out your new soloing skills with a full rhythm section.		19)The Mode Jam Tracks
The scales on our must know list are not the only ones you might want to know about and any scale can generate a system of modes.		20)Otyher Scales Other Modes
Pentatonic Scales have modes too and if you don't understand that, you're not getting the most out of these very popular scales.		21)Pentatonic Modes
Some music sounds sad and has more minor chords. How does Minor Key music work?		22)Music In Minor Keys
Some progressions aren't in a major or minor key but they're still related to the Major Diatonic Scale.		23)Modal Music
Blues is a recent but very popular style of harmonization. We look at how it is similar yet different from Diatonic music.		24)Playin' The Blues
Learn all those classic Blues/Rock riffs from the master himself.		25)Blues Jam With Dan Lawson
Triads are 3 note chords and our most basic harmonic arrangements.		26)Triads
Now that you understand triads, add more notes to form our more complex harmonic structures.		27)Chords
Knowing chord structure is just the beginning. There are many fascinating ways to express these patterns.		28)Chord Voicing
A quick look at the fascinating subject of VOICE LEADING and how it relates to the guitar.		29)More About Chord Voicing
Songs contain chords arranged in relatively predictable relationships.		30)Chord Progressions
Songs don't always stay in one key and some chords can be swapped with others in certain situations to add more interest.		31)Modulation and Substitution
In our final lesson, we review the course content and look ahead to the work still to be done.		32) And In The End
