Vertical Intervals

10/13/2015

0 Comments

 


It is essential at some point to be able to visualize your intervals across the fretboard given a root note.  In learning this, I quickly realize that, unless the notes are separated by the string shift at the B-string, the 5 always sits over the Root, the b7 always sits over the b3, the Root always sits over the 11, etc.

After that, I began to realize that since traditional positions move in fourths, and the guitar is more-or-less tuned in fourths, the 3-6-2-5-1 sit on each other vertically.

Here is the complete vertical layout of the intervals following this concept.  Maybe it will help you learn the intervals, or at least be able to quickly double-check.

The second page in the pdf has worksheets where you can fill in the intervals.  It's not necessary to have these worksheets to practice.  You can scribble out a 7x7 grid anywhere.  When you fill out the worksheet, try and fill the boxes as randomly as possible to help you learn where things are.
