Guitarists are lucky because we have so many great<br \/>\ntools out there that can help us to get around ever learning it. But in the long run, there are some essential<br \/>\nconcepts that can have a massive impact on your playing. In this video, we\u2019ll be teaching those key concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of these steps will build off of the previous ones. So feel free to pause the video and make<br \/>\nsure you completely understand everything before moving to the next step. We\u2019ll start off by learning about<br \/>\npitch within an octave. From there, we\u2019ll learn about half-steps and whole-steps. After that, we\u2019ll go through<br \/>\nmany more music theory concepts, and by the end of the lesson, you\u2019ll fully understand how keys work and how to<br \/>\nfind the chords within them.<\/p>\n<p>Spend some time each day working on these important music theory concepts. Don\u2019t worry about working on<br \/>\neverything at once. Start with just a few, and as you master them you can move onto later steps.
