Two lessons ago, we explored how to harmonize using 4ths—a modern, open-sounding interval.

This week, we’re diving into 6ths on guitar—one of the most beautiful and widely used intervals in music.

6ths have a rich, melodic quality that you’ve heard in everything from blues to jazz to folk and pop. They’re a classic sound that adds instant musicality to your playing.

In this lesson, I’ll walk you through how to harmonize in 6ths on guitar through every major scale shape, and you’ll learn:

  • The exact fingerings across each string set
  • How to navigate position shifts cleanly
  • Tab, notation, and fingerings all shown clearly on screen as I demonstrate

If you’re ready to expand your harmonic vocabulary and give your playing a smooth, lyrical sound, this is the lesson to watch.

Thanks for watching! Feel free to leave a comment below the video on YouTube to say hi. :)
