Quick Start Guide To The Tasty Interval

Welcome to your journey into the world of thirds… the Tasty Interval!

Seeing as you’ve only just joined us, you might think I’ve ingested something I should have stayed away from, but I can assure you my friend, as we go through this journey together, I think you will soon come to see that the musical third is in fact an extremely tasty sound, and that it is used everywhere you look.

As we learn to use thirds in our riffs and solos, our solos become more melodic, more tasteful, and more song-fitting.

I created the Quick Start Guide to Thirds: the Tasty Interval to help bring you up to speed so that we can begin applying these to your playing.

>> Click here to download the Guide

Included in the guide is a handy cheat sheet (see page 10) that shows two different approaches to using thirds that you’ll find extremely handy in the key of A minor or C major.

For now, grab that guide (you might want to print a copy of the cheat sheet for your guitar case), and I’ll be in touch soon with a video that will help demonstrate these things further.

If you’ve got questions about the Guide, please post them in the comments below!

Guitar Scales Quick Start Guide

The Guitar Scales Quick Start Guide is a great primer to learn the basics about guitar scales. 

If you're looking for the cheat sheet showing all the scale patterns you need for the key of G, you'll find it on page 12 of the Guide. I'd recommend printing that page (or the whole guide) for easy reference. 

I hope the Guide is useful to you, and serves as the first stepping stone to opening your eyes to how the fretboard works. There's much more to be discovered, and when you're ready to take that next step, I invite you to checkout my Guitar Scale Patterns course.

If you have questions about anything in the Guide, please use the comments section below and I'll do my best to answer.
