THE WOODSHED by Andy Wood
ELEMENTAL VISION
Welcome to Andy Wood's first Guitar World column! Andy starts off with an essential element of musical understanding, which is the knowledge of intervals. To illustrate, he cites a passage from his song “Believe,” from his album, Charisma.
An interval is the distance between two notes, measured in half steps and whole steps. “Believe” offers a great way to examine intervallic relationships, as there’s a repeating, droning root note throughout the opening melody, and it’s helpful to be aware of the intervallic relationship between the root and each individual melody note.
