Intervals on
the Fretboard Part 1
The first
thing you need to understand to master the guitar
fretboard is musical intervals.
There are 12 types of intervals since there are
12 different notes. Intervals are a way of describing
a sonic relationship between 2 different notes.
In this lesson all of the intervals are relative
to an E note, so we begin with an open E string
before we play each of the 12 intervals.
