Here you find 3 PDF's for download. One is a sheet with the fretboard, one with chord charts and one with tabs and empty notation lines. If you are really into music and want to make some notes during your studies on guitar you can print them out and make your notes on those empty sheets. I recommend for any students to make own notes on theory, chord charts or you can also write down your own licks and ideas and in fact it makes sense to also try to write down your ideas in real notation and not only tabs. Specially if you are into jazz guitar it is strongly recommended that you also learn to read and write written music as notes and not as tabs.Free -
View File Modes - Intervals A lot of students have difficulties in understanding why intervals are so important to understand modes. Here are a few exercises where the modes are all played starting from the C on the 3rd fret on the A string. Here you can see the difference of the modes very well and you can understand how they are built. Once you can alter from one mode to another in just one position then you can start to do this everywhere on the fretboard. All you need to know are the intervals of each mode and where to find each interval in relation to the root note of the mode. This exercise seems to be small and easy but this is the main thing you need to learn if you want to be able to play freely on the entire fretboard. Every mode is defined through the intervals in relation to the root note. Submitter admin Submitted 10/14/2023 Category Theory & Exercises

I know music notation is a topic which most students want to avoid and in many cases you can " survive " by only knowing how to read tabs and chord charts. But if you are serious about your studies on guitar and you really want to know music you can not avoid learning how to read and / or write music in normal music notation. If you are interested in jazz there is in fact no way to avoid this part of music theory because you will never understand the complexity of jazz if you don't know how to read or write music notation. These pages here are from my own studies back in the late 90's and they give you the first ideas to understand music notation.Free -
