Guitar Interval Finder: Learn the Intervals on the Fretboard

Also look for Fretboard PhD and The Little Big Guitar Scale Handbook. Intervals are often neglected and are only studied later in a guitarist’s training. Yet, those versatile building blocks are at the heart of every component of music: chords, scales, arpeggios, and simply put, any piece of music. Instantly recognising intervals and the shapes they take on the guitar will put you on a path to a more deliberate note choice and a better understanding of what you are playing. Guitar Interval Finder exposes you to simple and compound intervals within a position on the neck. The book also introduces you to a failsafe method of figuring out intervals on the fly (based on string intervals). A quiz reinforces your learning by focusing on one interval shape at a time, in a visual question–answer format. One page shows an interval on the fretboard and the following page shows its name, the scale degrees it is made of, and how to get to it with the string intervals method. There are two intervals per page. All necessary reference diagrams featuring intervals and ancillaries are provided upfront. This book is for standard tuning E A D G B E. Basic understanding of intervals is a prerequisite. By isolating each interval, this little book will help you memorise intervals on the fretboard and decode any unfamiliar interval through a structured method. More information at PeleMeleWorks.
