Minor.
’m gonna show, how you can master th
fretboard by moving this chords an
which scales you can use.
Equipped with this knowledge, you ca
easily accompany a song in variouways and transposing a song become
easy as 1 – 2 – 3.
To transpose a song, means to put it into
another Key.
And also, this book brings a solid know

The tuning used in this entire book is:
E(6) A(5) D(4) G(3) B (2) E(1)f you chance the tuning of you guitar, al
he chords and scales chance accordin
o the new tuning.
We take a look at exclusively this tuningWe gonna learn how to find every note
nstantly, every chord instantly and ever
scale instantly.

Roots
A root defines the tonal center.
The root gives the scale or chords th
first part of its name.
Logically, the root of the C Major chor
or C Major scale, must be a C.
The second part of the name tells us th
family of the chord or scale.
There are two families we gonna look a> Major (Dur) and Minor (Moll) If
chord is major or minor depends on it
hird.n the chapter about intervals, we gonn
ake a close look at the function of th
hird.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 13/145
ow, we wanna bring our attention t
he C major chord.
Therefore, we look out for all the C’s o
he fretboard:
From everyone of this notes, you cabuild a C major chord!
Therefore, its very important, to know
all the notes on the fretboard.
On the first glance, this may loo
complex.
But, there are only 12 different notes
hat repeat themselves systematically:
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender

c, c#, d, d#, e, f, f#, g, g#, a, a#, b
f we start with the low E-String, yo
can find the octave (the same note again
wo strings up (d-String) and two frets t
he right. (For lefthanders left, of course
The next octave is again, two strings ub-string), but this time 3 frets right.
The next octave differs a bit, 3 string
DOWN (a-string), 2 frets right.
On the a-string, you find the next octave
again, 2 strings up (g-string), 2 fret
right.
ext octave is 2 strings up (high estring), and now again 3 frets right.
Then again, 3 strings DOWN (d-string
and 2 frets right.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 15/145
So if you know the note c or c# or an
other note, you can, with this know-how
find every other position of this not
quickly, on the entire fretboard.All the other intervals are gonna b
covered in an own chapter. For now w
are glad finding the octaves.
Exercise: Fill in all the notes into the
graphic above. The c is already put in
Continue, for example, with c# or anyother note. If you got the e-book
version, take a piece of paper and a
pencil.

Chordsn this chapter, you gonna learn, how t
play a chords over the entire fretboard.This is possible by moving chords.
We stick to our root c and build a majo
Dur) chord in every position.
Here, we built a C major chord with th
roots on the b-string and the a-string.The next chord, we gonna build with th
roots on the a-string and g-string

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 18/145
By moving this chord three frets left
until the root is the a-string itself, we gehe well known A major chord
So we deal here with the moved A majochord.
But we built it on the root C – so we ge
a C major chord.

The next chord uses the roots on the g
string and e-strings
By moving this chord to the head of th
guitar, we get the G major chord
So we deal here with the moved G
major chord.
But we built it on the root C, so we get C

The next roots are found on the E-string
and the D-string.
Here we moved the E-chord:
But we build it on the root C, so we ge
C major.

Here is an overview, of all possible C
major positions
The same way we can handle mino
chords. Again, we start with the root C
and a chord that will be unfamiliar t
most guitarists, but its easy tunderstand, where this chord is comin
from. C minor, roots A-string and B
string This chord is tricky to grab, but itvery good to know it

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 23/145
f we compare the C major with the C
minor chord, we recognize, that only onnote differs – E becomes Eb.
ext position uses the roots on the A
string and G-string:
We deal with the moved A minor shape.

ow we have all the basic forms o
chords in this tuning.
Practice this on all roots! You should b
able to form major and minor chords aall roots.
Exercise: Fill in all missing positions o
the following chords. If you own the ebook version – use paper and pencil.

PentatonicPenta means 5. Tonic means tone.
So the pentatonic is a scale consisting o5 notes.
t's easy to learn and is a good start int
scales.
Let's go!

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 33/145
We look at the root G. This form i
widely known as the minor pentatonicAnd that's right, cause it contains
minor chord.
In 3. Position – G minor:
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 34/145
But this form also contains a majo
chord, that is often overseen. In ou
example, we have a Bb on the sixth fre
of the E-string, from which we can buila Bb – major chord
So this form could also be named Bbmajor pentatonic. For every fret we ca
use its according finger.
So we go with this fingering:

Again we find Bb major:
This time as a moved E major chord!And G minor:
n form of the moved D minor chord.

3. Form
Here comes the exception. This for
ake 5 frets.
Be aware of the G-string and B-string.
Again we can find both, a major an

ow you know all 5 forms of th
pentatonic with its according major an
minor chords.
f we start form 1 on the 3 fret, like iour example here, we get G minor an
Bb major pentatonic.
n all of this 5 forms, we can always finhis two chords. The roots of this chords
are 1 ½ step apart each other. In musi
heory, this is also called relative key.
From your minor root you always fin
he relative major root 3 frets higher, an
from the major root you always find th
relative minor 3 frets lower.f you, f. e., wanna know the relative
minor to C major you go like this:
C – B – Bb – A.
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 46/145
The relative minor to C major has to b
A minor.
Looking for the relative major you go u
3 frets:
D – Eb – E – F.
So for the D minor chord, the relativ
major chord would be F Major.
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 47/145
Put together, all 5 forms of the pentatoni
scale look like this:
Fret three and four of the first form
are also fret one and two of the
second form.This goes with all forms, except
form 3 where you have one more
fret.
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 48/145
The right half of the fifth form is
also the beginning of the first form
again. So the circle is perfect.
Exercise: Write down, and play, thcomplete pentatonic for F#-minor/A
Major:

With this I end this chapter.
Of course, there are plenty more o
nteresting chord progressions, but
would be way too much to cover the
here ;)

Intervals and extended chords
An interval describes the distanc
between two notes.
The following intervals you gonna learn
First 1

To truly master the fretboard, you hav
o be able to find every interva
everywhere.
As we know from chapter roots, thoctave of, f. e., A is an A again:
A first of an A is also an A, and thi
ime, the exact same one:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 113/145
The intervals from first to octave, ar
classified as follows:The first group contains the so called P
E R F E C T intervals.
The second group contains the so calleM A J O R and M I N O R intervals.
P E R F E C T:
First 1fourth 4
Fifth 5

sixth 6
Seventh 7
Second, third, fourth and fifth can appea
major or minor.
We already covered the octave in th
chapter about roots.
Let's move on to the:
Fifth
This perfect interval is part of ever
major and minor chord.
The fifth of C would be:
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 115/145
The green dots Indicate the C.
The black dots are the fifth of C.This pattern stays the same, doesn
matter what's the root.
Thirds also part of every major and mino
chord. In a major chord it appears majo– in a minor chord it appears minor.
A minor third is one half step lower tha
a major third.
7/18/2019 Guitar-Code_ the Fast Way to Ma - Thomas Ender
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 116/145
Let's take a look:
The blue thirds are minor – the browhirds are major.
The minor third is always found to th
eft of the major third. Root is green.When we add the fifth of our root here
we get all positions of the C major an
C minor chord.

Cause a basic chord is always buil
with the root (1) – the third (3) – the fift
5).
Major chord:
Root (Green)– major third (brown) –
fifth (Red)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 120/145
Fourth … is a perfect interval:
Forth is found to the right of the majo
hird.
The fourth can suspend the third in an
chord. We get the suspended fourtchord or sus4.
Let's add our fifths: We see all position

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 122/145
Sixth A sixth can also be minor or
major:
When we add the major third of our root
and take away the minor sixth, we en
up with all positions of A minor.This is because of the relative keys.
A major chord differs in just one not
with its relative minor. In our case: Cmajor: C E G
and
A minor: A C E

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/guitar-code-the-fast-way-to-ma-thomas-ender 123/145
When we stick to the minor intervals w
get C minor with a sixth: C Eb Ab whics the equivalent to
Ab minor: Ab C Eb.
This is also seen as a relationshibetween chords.
The notes of C minor are C Eb G --->
With a sixth instead

Eb ---> Ab major SeventhThe seventh appears major or minor:
Green root, brown major seventh, blu
minor seventh.

Broken chords
n this chapter I'm gonna show you, how
o break down chords.
t's often useful to play just two or three
notes of a chord, instead of playing allhe strings all the time. Less is more!
'm gonna demonstrate this with the
progression E minor – D major.
nstead of playing all possible notes, wefocus on just the D-string, G-string and
B-string.
Let's take a look at some positions:

This game can, of course, be continued.
For example for the G-string, B-stringand high E-string. Or the A-string, G-
string and high E-string. Or any other
combination.

t's up to you know, to find additional
positions. With all this knowledge of the
fretboard, every player will be able to
find his or hers own unique ways alonghe fretboard Finally there's only one las
hing to say:
Forget everything you know and P L

About Me
Early in my childhood I got in touch wit
music. My father used to play songs on a
small home organ and flute. My mother
ikes to sing and play guitar as well. Myfirst instrument was the trumpet. My firs
eacher was Laszlo Mezei, a very
alented man from Hungary. But when I
first heard the sound of Jimmy Page,guitarist of Led Zeppelin, at the age of
14, it was all clear to me. The sound and
expression of his playing almost “put aspell on me” - I had found my
nstrument. I learned to play as much as
could – been playing day and night.
Since then I was member of many bands

such as Mind's Garden →
http://www.mindsgarden.com. Since
2011 I study classical guitar in
Feldkirch. Although my home is Rock and Blues, I like to explore all kinds of
music and open up my musical horizon.
“Music is my special friend” Music
drags me through hard times and
completes the good times. I wish that
everyone get's touched by music, at leas
on time in theirs life, like I'm touched bymusic everyday. With this words I close
his book. Keep your ears and hearts
open! And enjoy the sounds of the
universe!
