Ultimate guide to Celtic music theory for beginners 1 - scales and chords for major keys Folk Friend

Hello again, and welcome to part 1 of my guide to scales, modes, and chords for Celtic backing guitarists! In this video I'll be looking at how a major scale (ionian mode) is formed, and how we can use this knowledge to find all the chords which will fit with a tune in a major key. I'll also be demonstrating my brand new invention, The Amazing Mode Wheel by Finale Guitar, which makes the whole topic much easier to understand, visualise and memorise. You can get yours through the Folk Friend website, here: https://folkfriend.co.uk/product/the-... You can read my blog dealing with the major scale and the chords which go with it here: https://finaleguitar.co.uk/chord-scale/ ...And my complete guide to using the "Greek" modes for Celtic music here: https://finaleguitar.co.uk/how_modes_... You can find a complete guide to all this music theory wizardry and pretty much everything else you could possibly need to become a great backing guitarist in my book, Backing Guitar Techniques For Celtic Traditional Music, available here: https://folkfriend.co.uk/product/back... If you want to get a better understanding of why the major scale is made up the intervals it is, and you'd like that information clearly presented using beautiful visualisations in a book which costs less then £5, then check out Harmonograph, one of my absolute favourites: https://amzn.to/2RY8Pw9 If you'd like to learn how to play by ear, jam along with tunes, learn new songs, understand music theory, improve your rhythm playing, use jazzier chords or anything else to do with Celtic backing guitar then there's really no substitute for learning from an experienced professional teacher.
