\"\"<\/a>The Most Melodic Guitar Interval?<\/h2>\n

Hey everyone, today I am going through “The Most Melodic Guitar Interval.”<\/p>\n

Okay, so this is definitely subjective, but in my mind, the sound of 10ths is sublime.<\/p>\n

Taking a close second for me are 6th intervals.<\/p>\n

What is a 10th you ask?\u00a0 Well, that is when you play a low note on the guitar and go up through the scale from that note until you are on the 10th note of that scale.<\/p>\n

Another way to look at it is, it is the 3rd of a chord up an octave.<\/p>\n

You can do this from each note of each chord derived from that scale.<\/p>\n

If that is over your head, no matter, you can learn that later, but right now you can dig into these intervals in the key of C which I have organized from the E and A string roots.<\/p>\n

Now check out how John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Edge from U2 create riffs using these intervals:<\/p>\n

Okay, so now that you know a little bit about 10ths, go try and be creative with them.<\/p>\n

Below is the video that you can watch for a little more direction and how these intervals sound.<\/p>\n
