[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. _ _ _ _
