Mandolin A Major Two Note Harmony

Video Transcript

"So, we're going to build on that last concept and look at harmony notes using tremolo. So, key of A still, if I have an A chord, you might hear me do something like that, when someone's chugging over it. You can also... that works nicely, that's the root, right. So this is using the third and the fifth, right, and this is using the fifth and the first, the root's here, fifth is here, fifth is here, third is here, okay. Let's move up to this A, use your A here, so we have the one, the three and the five still, so we could do a root harmonized with our third. Here's your fifth, right, and here's the root so we go a third and a fifth, right, and I'm finding these by knowing my major scales, so one, two, three, four, five. Right. One, two, three. So by now hopefully you're starting to see the importance of knowing the major scale and knowing a little theory involved. Once you know both of them you can go a long way."
