COURSE OVERVIEW
An Introduction To Intervals
If you want to improve your knowledge of music theory as it applies to the guitar, then learning intervals is one of the best places to start.
Intervals are a fundamental part of Western music. When you learn them, you will develop a much deeper understanding of what you are playing. This will improve every element of your guitar playing, and make you a better and more skilled musician.
When you learn intervals and how they work, you will understand how scales and chords are formed. You will appreciate why different notes played either together or separately create different sound and feels.
In turn this will empower you to target (and also avoid) certain note groupings when soloing or creating chords.
So, if you want to deepen your understanding of music whilst dramatically improving as a player, let’s get started!
What you will learn:
PART 1
To begin, we will define what intervals are and why understanding them is fundamental to your development as a guitarist
PART 2
Here you will learn all of the different intervals that exist, and how they line up and compare with some of the theory with which you are likely to already know
PART 3
Moving on, we will start looking practically at how you can find these intervals in different sections across your fretboard
PART 4
All intervals function differently and create a different sound and feel. In this lesson you will learn about these differences and why they matter
PART 5
Now that you understand interval qualities, we can look at how to use this information practically to create scales
PART 6
As in the previous lesson, we will look at how intervals are used to create chords with different tonalities and qualities
PART 7
In the penultimate lesson, you will learn how to target different intervals when improvising to create beautiful blues licks in a range of different musical contexts
PART 8
In the final lesson of this course, we will tie up a final piece of theory, which will deepen your understanding of intervals and music more generally

My story
I have played guitar for over 20 years and have loved blues music for almost just as long.
5 years ago – after getting complacent with my practice and playing – I decided I wanted to push on and develop as a guitarist.
I couldn’t find the detailed, blues focused resources that I wanted to learn from online, so I created the Happy Bluesman.
I have since gone on to work with hundreds of blues guitarists all over the world through the Blues Club and 1-2-1 coaching.
