1 Guitar Wheel User s Guide Complete and concise the Guitar Wheel provides a foundation to accelerate learning and playing. The Guitar Wheel is a fully functional and interactive tool that works in all 12 Keys. Suitable as both a learning and teaching aid, Beginner to Advanced. Use the Guitar Wheel to find all (in Key) Chords and variations, transpose, compose and explore leads, licks and riffs.

2 Getting Started Connecting you to the parts of your Guitar and the Guitar Wheel. The position of the nut is displayed on the Guitar Wheel by a black bar. The supports each string in a groove or notch. The nut on your Guitar is often white. Strings The Guitar has 6 strings. Each string has a note and is given a number 1 through to 6. String 1 is at the bottom when you hold your Guitar and string 6 is at the top. String 6 is at the top.

3 Getting Started Finger placements and developing good practice techniques. Frets Frets are displayed from the. Each fret is given a number starting at 0 reflecting the, then fret 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Up to the 6th fret is displayed. Place your finger on the string between the fret to play a note or chord. Up to the 6th fret is displayed. Finger Positions Each finger is given a number. Finger 1 is normally used to play notes on fret 1. Finger 2 -> fret 2, finger 3 -> fret 3 and finger 4 -> fret 4. When using two fingers on the same fret, finger 1 is usually above fingers 2, 3 and finger for each fret.

4 Getting Started Learning the Musical Alphabet will accelerate your ability to play. Notes There are 12 notes in music. Each note has a color. The yellow note (C) is highlighted. Placing your 1st finger on the 1st fret, 2nd string and only playing the 2nd string will play the C note. The sound of just one string. Music Alphabet Spend just a few moments learning the music alphabet and their colors. There are 7 whole notes / colors and 5 flat / sharps. Flats and Sharps are the dual colored notes. E.g. C# is between the note C and D (yellow / green). Only 12 notes in the music alphabet.

5 Getting Started Review the following. The Black Bar on the Guitar Wheel depicts the nut. The Guitar has 6 strings, each with their own note. Fingers are placed between the frets. Finger 1 is usually used to play notes on Fret 1. A note is played when only a single string is used. There are only 12 notes in the Music Alphabet. Learning the Music Alphabet will accelerate my playing. It is normal for it to take a while to develop a firm understanding of the concepts covered in the section. Take your time, play it through, practice and most of all have fun and enjoy your learning! To get the most out of the next section Beginner make sure you have a solid understanding of the concepts covered in this section before proceeding.

6 Beginner Put your finger on the color dot/s and play all strings at the same time to play a Major Chord. Major Chords The Guitar Wheel displays 3 Major chords in the outside window. The notes on the nut or open strings are part of these chords. The 3 chords displayed in this example are F Major, C Major and G Major. Ignore the white dots for now. Outside window are Major Chords. Major Triads Major chords are made up of 3 notes. On the Guitar Wheel they make a triangle, this is know as a Major Triad. Anywhere on the fretboard where you can find and play just these 3 notes (C, E & G) you can play a C Major Chord. Remember to use the open strings when possible. 3 notes make a Major chord.

7 Beginner Put your finger on the color dot/s and play all strings at the same time to play a Minor Chord. Minor Chords The Guitar Wheel displays 4 Minor chords in the inside window. The notes on the nut or open strings are part of these chords. The 4 chords displayed in this example are D Minor, A Minor, E Minor and B Minor. Ignore the white dots for now. Inside window are Minor Chords. Minor Triads Minor chords are made up of 3 notes. On the Guitar Wheel they make a triangle, this is know as a Minor Triad. Anywhere on the fretboard where you can find and play just these 3 notes (A, C, E) you can play the A Minor Chord. Remember to use the open strings when possible. 3 notes make a Minor chord.

8 Beginner Add the white dot to change your chord into a Dominant 7th or Minor 7th Chord Dom7 Chords Use the white dots to play a Dom7 chord. The example shows the C Major chord. Add a finger to the white dot to play a C7. The same applies for the F and G Major chords. Remove a finger to play the F7 and move your fingers to play the G7 chord. Move or add a finger to play a Dom7 Minor7 Chords Use the white dots to play min7 chords. Move a finger to play a Dm7, move your finger off the red dot for the open string for the Am7, remove your finger from the blue for the Em7 and remove your finger from the orange dot (second string) for the Bm7. Move or add a finger for a min7

9 Beginner Playing in key makes it easy to learn new songs or write your own. Set your Key Rotate the top cover of the Guitar Wheel and locate your starting note or chord to position 1 (Root). All chords displayed are now in Key. The example shows the Key of C, with C, F and G Major on the outside and D, A, E and B Minor on the inside. Rotate the Wheel to Set your Key Find a songs Key Often the first chord in a song tells you its key. Check the first chord, in the example C and compare it with the last chord, again a C. This song is in the Key of C. Rotate the top cover and set C to the 1 Root position. See above. If in doubt, the last chord of the song.

10 Beginner Learning each Key progressively develops your ear and motor skills. Key C Rotate the top cover of the Guitar Wheel to locate the C note (yellow) to position 1 Root. All chords displayed are in the Key of C. Learning just these 7 chords, 3 Major and 4 Minor chords will give you access to the 1000 s of songs in the Key of C s of songs are in the Key of C The next Key G Once you are confident with the chords in the Key of C, rotate the top cover and locate the G (pink) to the 1 position. Learn just two new chords, 1 Major and 1 Minor to have the entire next key and hundreds of new songs in this key. Learn each Key stepping 1 at a time!

11 Beginner Review the following. Major Chords are displayed on the outside of the Wheel. 3 Notes make a Major Chord, this is called a Major Triad. Minor Chords are displayed on the inside of the Wheel. 3 Notes make a Minor Chord, they are called a Minor Triad. I can play notes that make up chords anywhere on the Fret. I can use the open strings when playing a chord. Move your finger from the pink to the white to play a G7. Remove the red for the white on the for the Am7. Rotate the Wheel and set number 1 to your chosen Key. If in doubt use the last chord of the song to set the Key. Learn each key progressively, starting with the Key of C. It is normal for it to take a while to develop a firm understanding of the concepts covered in the section. Take your time, play it through, practice and most of all have fun and enjoy your learning! To get the most out of the next section Intermediate make sure you have a solid understanding of the concepts covered in this section before proceeding.

12 Intermediate Skills and understandings to go further and faster, starting with Transposition. Transposition Changing the Key of a song is easy with the Guitar Wheel. Start by identifying the Key of the song as described in the beginner section of this guide. This song is in the Key of C. Set your wheel to the key of the song. Identify Order Use the numbers next to the notes to identify the playing order also known as the progression of the song, see above. C is 1, Am is 6, F is 4, G7 is 5 and back to the C, 1. Therefore the playing order of this song is: Identify the order of the Intervals.

13 Intermediate Skills and understandings to go further and faster, starting with Transposition. Record Order It is often simpler to write the numbers next to the chords, this makes it easy to change the key of this song to any key you may choose in the future. Key changes occur to match voices, instruments or to play in a familiar key. Write the interval numbers down. Select new Key The Guitar Wheel has now been set in the Key of G, with G at number 1. To play this song in the Key of G, simply play in the same order: or G(1), Em (6), C (4), D7 (5) and back to C(1) This song can be played in any key. Play songs in any key.

14 Intermediate Explore and tap in to Progressions and Chords of the past, present and future. Progression In the last section we looked at Key Transposition. To do this we identified the progression or movement of the song. Use the Guitar Wheel to explore a range of movements, like the popular 12 Bar Blues using a movement. Explore Progressions in any Key Chord Add-ons Use the Guitar Wheel to find all chord add-ons like the Major7. To find a chord add-on, set the chord to the Root (1), if it is the Gmaj7 you are looking for, set G to the Root. Find interval 7 and add this note (F#) to your G Major Chord. A complete list of chord add-ons can be found on the Scales Chart, in the Chord Families section. Find any chord add-on

15 Intermediate Review the following. To Transpose we must first set our wheel into the same Key. We then identify the playing order of the song. Recording the playing order will help in the future. Set your wheel to the chosen Key and play in the same order. Practicing and exploring progessions will help develop your skills. To find chord add-ons locate the main chord to the 1 position. It is normal for it to take a while to develop a firm understanding of the concepts covered in the section. Take your time, play it through, practice and most of all have fun and enjoy your learning! To get the most out of the next section Advanced make sure you have a solid understanding of the concepts covered in this section before proceeding.

16 Advanced Explore and use Leads, Riffs and Licks from any starting position in any Key Leads and Licks Let s say we are in the Key of G and we want to add a fill or short run (solo) between chords. We can choose from any of the following 7 intervals or 7. Each starting note is called a Mode, say we want to start from D (5). Choose your lead starting position Scales Chart Using the Scales Chart, included with the Guitar Wheel, choose from either the Major or Pentatonic Scales, look down the left hand side and find position 5. This example uses the 5th Mode of the Pentatonic Scale. Select Scale and locate the Mode

17 Advanced Explore and use Leads, Riffs and Licks from any starting position in any Key Major Blues The 5th Mode in the Pentatonic Scale is called the Major Blues. The Scales Chart shows us that intervals can be played from the 5th Mode. They can be played in any order, repeated or skipped. This is up to you. Identify the Modes Intervals Root the D Rotate the Guitar Wheel and set D to the 1 Root position. These notes are now available in the of Key G, D(1) - E(2) - G(4) - A(5) - B(6). This same method applies to all starting positions. Try now to work out and play the 2nd Mode of G The 5th Mode starting from Root D

18 Advanced Review the following. To start a Lead, Lick or Riff we must first know our Key. Intervals 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7 can be used as the start of the Lead. If starting a Lick from Interval 5, I look up the 5th Mode in the Chart. Interval are available in the Penatonic Major Blues Mode. I need to set my wheel by moving the 5th interval to the root. The Intervals 1,2,4,5,6 can be played in any combination. The same method can be used for any of the 7 intervals. In this section we have covered a method to find and play all Modes (scales) from any starting point in any key. It can take years to fully embody this from a playing point of view, though understanding can happen much much faster. Take your time, learn and practice the modes in a single Key. When ready move to another key and when you do you will notice that the shapes or movements are the same, your just starting from a differencet position.
