Today’s video is all about how to play harmonically using the interval of 4ths on guitar.
Practicing in intervals is a powerful way to improve your musicianship—and 4ths have a particularly modern, open, and unique sound, especially compared to more traditional harmonizations like 3rds or 6ths.
I love this sound, and I think you will too. It’s like using a guitar harmonizer pedal, except you’re actually just playing it!
As always, I’m not just giving you tips—I’m walking you through how to harmonize every major scale shape in 4ths, including:
- How to cross strings smoothly (this is the tricky part!)
- The exact fingerings to use
- Full tab, notation, and fingerings shown clearly on screen
If you’ve been curious about playing in 4ths or want to explore a more contemporary harmonic sound, and sound like you’re using a guitar harmonizer pedal, then this lesson is definitely for you.
Thanks for watching! Feel free to leave a comment below the video on YouTube to say hi. :)
