[Em]
Greetings guitar players [C#] and in this [F#] lesson I'm going to introduce you to the [C] wonderful
world of [A] the sixth interval, okay?
The interval of a [C] major and minor sixth.
Very useful no matter [A] what instrument you're playing.
[C] I'm going to show you [A] this lesson, kind of how to use it [F#] in country, maybe a little bit on blues.
It's useful in pop, rock.
Once you get the hang [C] of it, you can use it all over the place and you'll hear it all
[E] over the place.
Let's start off with the key [G] of G, okay?
I'm going to make this G chord right here and let's [F] start off [C#m] taking the notes out of
[C#] this bar G chord that are on the third and first [Em] strings.
A B [E] up to a G, that's a [Em] sixth, okay?
And then we're going to take that and we're going to go up to the fifth [Am] fret on those
same strings and then to the seventh [Em] fret, okay?
This is a real cliche sounding thing you probably heard.
[E]
Or you can put, between the fifth and the seventh, [B] you can add the sixth fret for the sixth.
So, [E]
see how that works?
[G]
[Em]
Slide up to that fourth fret there.
[G] So for the key of G, and let's say we're going from a G up to a [C] C chord, you can walk into
it real nice with this, [Em]
[C] up to the C, [Am] right?
And [A] walk back down to the [G] G,
[Em] to [A]
the [D] D, [Em] back to [A]
[Em] the G.
That's a real basic outline there on the sixth string.
So if we're in [E] the key of G, the one chord would look like this.
This is on your tablet I'm showing you.
And then the four chord, the C, would look exactly the same pattern, just up the neck further.
[Em] [C] The D [Bm] chord,
[Em] [A]
[C] same pattern, and then [C#] G, you can go back down [C] here or up here.
[E] [F#] Okay?
Now, where it starts getting interesting is if you start [E] incorporating [A] some pull-offs in [Em] this.
Let's [C] say I'm in [E] G and I want to walk down from, instead of just doing that, [Em]
let me pull
off on this E string. Okay?
[E] [Em]
What [E] I'm doing there is,
[F#] [Am]
[Em]
let's start it from like, what [E] I'm doing is just taking those
six notes and pulling off, [Em]
[E] okay?
And you can make up all kinds of things that, [F#]
[Em] [A] [E]
whatever.
So you get the idea there.
Now you [D] can move that over to the fourth and second [C] strings.
The G [C#] would be down here on [Em] the eighth and ninth fret.
[E] And you can pull off on that B string as well.
[G]
[Em] [E] Okay?
[G]
[Em] C would be up here.
D.
[A] [Em]
[E] You hear this stuff all over the place.
There's an old Cat Stevens song called Peace Train.
[D#m] Or Brown Eyed Girl.
I'm not sure what key [A] that was in.
Let's say it was in G.
[Em]
See how I was using those six?
[F] [E] Very recognizable, very musical piece of
[F#] [D] equipment to have in your tool belt there for guitar.
[E] Now for blues, like if we're in E, how about using them on the
[A]
[E] [A] [E]
And if you're using it on [F#] the blues, you can [E] throw in this note on the [Bm] B [E] string, [D#]
[D] [E]
okay?
Or you can take this note here on the high E and move it over to the bass E string.
So you've [G#m]
got
And you're hitting that third and sixth [E] string and then the open E [Gm]
[F#m] [E]
[C] gives you a nice little turnaround [Em] there.
[F#m] [E]
[A]
That's taking [D] that same sixth [F#m] where you're going up, [E]
[F#m] but you're [C#] moving this over to the
bass E [D] string.
[A] If any of you all play bass, it [B] sounds nice when you get on the bass and play that interval
[E] up high on the neck.
I guess that's about it.
You can experiment all over [A#] the place with these things, but it's a good way to [E] get a
little melodic riff going.
You [A] can use it like in a rhythm where [E] I'm muting all the strings except [G] the two I'm fretting here.
[D] [Em]
[G] [Em] You [D#] can do it that way.
[A] All [D#m] kinds of uses for them.
So [F#] you've now been introduced to the wonderful interval of the sixth and use them to your heart's content.
