In this module, you'll learn how to find the same note in different places on the guitar neck. We'll start with unison — the same note in the same register — then move to octaves — the same note in a higher or lower register.
Unison, in music, means two notes that are exactly the same pitch — the same note, in the same register. On the guitar, because of the way the strings are tuned, you can play the exact same note in several different positions on the neck.
Understanding unison patterns helps you navigate the fretboard and gives you options for how to finger melodies and riffs.

Unison Mastered!
You now understand how to find the same note in the same register across different strings. These patterns are the foundation for everything that comes next.
🔓 Octaves Unlocked!
Now let's learn how to find the same note in different registers — one or two octaves apart.

Octaves
What is an Octave?
An octave is the same note name, but in a higher or lower register. It's the distance of 12 half-steps (12 frets on one string). When you play a note and its octave together, they sound like the "same" note — just higher or lower.
The guitar neck has easily identifiable shapes that help you find octaves quickly. We'll learn five patterns, then see how they all connect.

Octaves Mastered!
You've learned all five octave patterns and how they connect across the fretboard. You can now find any note in any octave, anywhere on the neck.

Module 3
Intervals
An interval is the distance between two notes. Understanding intervals is the key to understanding chords, scales, and how to create the sounds you hear in country guitar.
On the guitar, intervals are easy to visualize. A half step is one fret up. A whole step is two frets up. Every interval is just a specific number of half steps from a starting note (the root).
We'll walk through all 12 intervals starting from G on the 6th string (fret 3). Play each note when prompted.

All 12 Intervals!
You've played every interval from unison to octave. These 12 distances are the building blocks of all chords and scales.
🔓 Part 2 Unlocked!
Now let's use intervals to build major and minor chords.
← BackMenu
Part 2
Building Chords
Chords are built by stacking intervals. A major chord and a minor chord use the exact same three notes — root, 3rd, and 5th — but the order of stacking is what gives each chord its sound.
← BackMenu
✓ Part 2 Complete
Chords Decoded!
You now understand how major and minor chords are built from stacked intervals. Major = major 3rd + minor 3rd. Minor = minor 3rd + major 3rd. The order makes the difference.
🔓 Part 3 Unlocked!
Time to put intervals to work with country double stops.
← BackMenu
Part 3
Country Double Stops
A double stop is two notes played at the same time. In country guitar, double stops in 3rds and 6ths are everywhere — they're the sound of pedal steel licks, harmonized melodies, and classic country fills.
We'll build them step by step in the key of G: first learn each scale line alone, then combine them.
