In part 8 in this series of beginner guitar lessons from our friends at JamPlay.com, we look at intervals - an easy concept to grasp, once explained, but baffling to those not in the know.
If you've found yourself wondering what fellow musicians mean when they talk about pure fourths, major seconds and fifth notes, worry not. This lesson is all about explaining how intervals (i.e. the gaps between notes in a scale) are named and how to recognise them.
Check out the video lesson below and if you like what you see, head over to JamPlay.com for more online guitar lessons.
