Les intervalles

Toute la musqiue occidentale est basée sur la gamme majeure, composée des intervalles suivants :
T T S T T T S
T = 1 ton, S = 1/2 ton
Un intervalle représente la distance entre 2 notes. Il y a 1 ton entre toutes les notes sauf entre Si et Do (B et C) et Mi et Fa (E et F) où il n'y a qu'un 1/2 ton.

Le manche


Accordage standard
EADGBE
Mi La Ré Sol Si Mi

Touver les notes sur le manche

Un manche de guitare de 24 cases comporte 150 notes. Avec un accordage standard, la note Mi (E) se retrouve 14 fois sur ce type de manche. Il n'est donc pas évident d'apprendre toutes les notes. Et pourtant, il existe une méthode simple qui permet de s'y retrouver. Il suffit d'apprendre les notes sur la 6ème, et la 5ème corde, en travaillant ses Power Chords par exemple, et d'appliquer la méthode des octaves :

A partir d'une note sur la 6ème corde (E), on trouve la même sur la 4ème corde (D), 2 cases plus bas
A partir d'une note sur la 5ème corde (A), on trouve la même sur la 3ème corde (G), 2 cases plus bas
A partir d'une note sur la 5ème corde (A), on trouve la même sur la 2ème corde (B), 2 cases plus haut
A partir d'une note sur la 6ème corde (E), on trouve la même sur la 1ème corde (E), à la même case

Fretboard 6th Fretboard 5th


On peut aussi apprendre en brut force :

A vide : E A D G B E
3ème case : G C F Bb D G
5ème case : A D G C E A
7ème case : B E A D F# B
8ème case : C F Bb Eb G C
9ème case : C# F# B E G# C#
10ème case : D G C F A D
12ème case : E A D G B E

Enharmonie


Théoriquement, toutes les notes (ABCDEFG) doivent être présentes dans une gamme, et on ne doit utiliser qu'un seul type d'accident (# ou b) pour la composer. On trouvera donc des notes produisant le même son mais portant des noms différents. Se sont des notes enharmoniques.
