They do incorporate the same notes, but they are used differently. They are not the same.
you see one sharp in the key sig, its G. and guess what! its also Em! derp da der...

Thanks. I need to add some extra edge to my paltry knowledge of guitar theory.

while it may seem like a worthless technicality to some, i think that it's very useful to state that there is in fact a difference between Em and G, or any major key and it's relative minor. saying that they're closely related is not difficult at all to understand, thus the watering down isn't neccessary and actually might end up causing more confusion in the long run.

well tico, i do understand that there is a difference btw the two. while i don't know exactly what that difference is yet, i understand that there is one. but when someone starts going extreme advanced on me like some of those guys did, that's when i get confused. id rather learn this stuff at my own pace so i know what im doing is correct.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, App. That you know that there is a difference is important at this level. Knowing the technicalities of why there is a difference doesn't really matter to most people.

it isn't really that it doesn't matter. if i could i would learn everything about theory that i could. but it doesn't come natural to me. i mean, im a pretty bright guy, i make good grades and im not a dumbass (even though i can't spell)ticohans wrote:That's exactly what I'm talking about, App. That you know that there is a difference is important at this level.

but anyway, i guess my question is, how much should i learn. how much do i need to know? how much is too much?

oh i figured the whole learning the notes of the fretboard thing was a different lesson. http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~schmeer/XLGUITAR.XLSfatjack wrote:it'd be easier to show them the patterns than each individual one...grock wrote:is nobody interested in these? oh well. it helped me to have them...grock wrote:i'll link the spreadsheets i made up.

that's a program with all the patterns. i was shooting for more of a know your fretboard and use it as a quick reference type thing eith the other ones. just knowing patterns is good but nowhere near as helpful as knowing the notes. it's like reading. you gotta learn your ABC's before you get into spelling and grammar.
are the chords sheet helpful. that way you can look at the chords in a song and pick out the key, then go to the scales sheet and know which notes to play.
