First & foremost, that is an introduction to the idea of intervals. If all of that is all new to you, then just take this info away from the tutorial as the main points:

1. We measure distances in music as intervals. From one note to another note is some distance that we call an interval.

2. The basic intervals (or units) that we use to measure the distance between any two notes is a half step (a distance of one fret) and a whole step (a distance of two frets).

This is a result of the fact that you can play the same note in more than one place on the guitar.

Look at the fretboard diagrams on the lesson page below the video. In the 1st pattern (furthest left), the notes A, B & C are on the lowest E string at the 5th, 7th & 8th frets.

E |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
B |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
G |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
D |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
E |---|---|---|---|-A-|---|-B-|-C-|---|

However, if you count back 5 frets & up one string, you will find you can play the exact same notes on the A string at the 0, 2nd & 3rd frets.

E |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
B |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
G |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
D |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A |---|-B-|-C-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
E |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Does that make sense?

Hope that helps! If not, please ask more. :)

do i need to know the name of the notes on the stirngs ?? or i suppose to identify them by the sound.. ??

Hi Micha,
The intervals lesson is part of a 2-part series of lessons called "guitar fundamentals."

Prior to the intervals lesson is another one about how the notes are named. It is here at the end of guitar fundamentals 1:

The intervals lessons are at the beginning of guitar fundamentals 2, which assumes you have already taken all the guitar fundamentals 1 lessons.

So if you haven't taken guitar fundamentals 1 yet, you should probably start there so things make more sense.

Hope that helps?

Yes, you will need to know the names of the notes.

As Jon mentioned above you should start with Guitar Fundamentals 1.

http://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=1

That course will teach you all the basics you need to know in the right order. Then, work your way though to Guitar Fundamentals 2.

Having said that, learning all the note names is something you don't do in one lesson! :) You learn a little bit each day. Take the notes of the E string one day. Practice memorizing them. Move to the B string the next day.

This is something that will take time to commit to memory, so take your time. The more you practice & review the material the easier it will be to memorize & recall the info. But you definitely need to learn specific skills & information in a specific order. Otherwise, you will just get confused & frustrated!

Hope this helps. Ask more if necessary! Have fun. :)
