      Well if you don't have anything connected to the audio interface's output, you won't hear anything. That's how they work by default, the audio output won't go to your computer speakers. The only way to get the output to go to your computer speakers is to use a driver like ASIO4ALL. You can read how to do that in the guide on my website.

    thanks a lot for the videos - it has helped me immensely along with your website. I believe there is a problem with naming of the interval as the intervals are measured from the lowest pitch to the highest so in the harmonic examples in the video and the site the intervals are being measured from highest to the lowest pitch, kindly, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

    • @AaronMatthies
      @AaronMatthies Місяць тому

      Intervals are just the distance between two notes, so you can measure an interval going up (eg: a fifth up from A is E), or going down (eg: a fifth down from A is D). The harmonic examples in this video are labelled correctly. I think using the open A string is causing the confusion as it's the lowest pitch note, but it looks like the 'top' note if you only look at the TAB. The example at 12:30 should make more sense as the notes in the TAB are stacked in order of pitch. Hopefully that makes sense.

    • @screenchipper
      @screenchipper Місяць тому

      @@AaronMatthies thank you for the prompt reply. I think am not able to explain, but I'll try: for instance the example at 6:04 would be a Major6 instead of Minor 3rd as it would have to be measured from the lowest to the highest pitch, if we measure it the other way around it would be an inverse and then it would be Minor 3rd. I am getting this information while practicing interval recognition on an app called tenuto - i was getting the interval names wrong and then I checked music theory interval naming and that's where i got this info. I have learnt a great deal from your site, and I hope I am not sounding like I am preaching someone who know far more than myself.

    • @AaronMatthies
      @AaronMatthies Місяць тому

      ​@@screenchipper I understand what you're explaining. You're right in trying to measure the distance from the lowest pitch note, but you're mistaking which note is the lowest pitch. The lowest pitch note isn't the 8th fret, so if you try to measure up from C to A, you'll end up with the wrong answer (Major 6th). Play each of those two notes at 6:04 (8th fret on the E string and open string on the A string) separately on your guitar and think about which one sounds the lowest pitch. The open A note is the lowest pitch and the 8th fret on the E string (that note is C) is the highest pitch. Measuring up from A to C, is a minor third. Try looking at these two notes in a different way. Imagine instead of playing the open A string, you play the 5th fret on the low E string. Listen to how it sounds, it's the same pitch as the open A string. Now you're comparing the note on the 5th fret to the note on the 8th fret of the same string. This makes it clear that it's only 3 frets apart, so it must be a minor 3rd interval.

    • @screenchipper
      @screenchipper Місяць тому

      @@AaronMatthies Thanks a lot Aaron for taking the time out to explain. I think I kind of get it - since the 5th fret on the Lower E string is in unison with the open A string it is a lower pitch note and therefore it is a minor 3rd interval in the exmaple that we are discussing here. Thank you once again for all the indepth explanations that you put out for free for us , I hope that the subscription to your channel grows manyfold.

    • @AaronMatthies
      @AaronMatthies 29 днів тому

      @@screenchipper that's right, you've got it. The more you play around with different intervals and try to figure them out on your own, the easier it gets. Having a fretboard diagram with the notes labelled also helps as you can easily count up and down a string to figure out the intervals.

    How about a "3 cable" method with an effects unit (i.e. Boss GT-1)? Would go like this... Plug guitar into the amplifier (cable 1) and then from amplifier fx "send" go into the input on GT-1 (cable 2) and then from mono output on GT-1 into amplifier fx "return" (cable 3)? Technically the GT-1 doesn't have an effects unit... but is that not a an effects loop of sorts? I would just be using this for delay and chorus effects pretty much. I have a great amplifier (6505+) and just want to add some basic effects.

    • @AaronMatthies

    • @AaronMatthies
      @AaronMatthies 2 місяці тому

      You can easily combine other pedals with a multieffects pedal. You can add pedals from the multieffect's send jack or after the return jack. For example, if you want to add a reverb pedal at the end, you would unplug the return jack from the multieffects pedal, plug it into the reverb pedal and connect the reverb pedal to the multieffects return jack. Just think of the multieffects pedal as a single pedal in a chain and you can add other pedals before or after it as you like.
