16:10 Just because you play the A Major chord doesn't necessarily mean you're in the key of A though. That chord exists in other keys too. However, it is true that you can use the A Major scale to find the chord tones that make up a chord. That is considered a useful shortcut. But it doesn't mean a song that contains that chord is necessarily in the key of A with a key signature of 3 sharps.

KEEP THE GRIND GOING BOIS WE WILL REACH THERE

Walter learned about music in Vietnam. And maybe from Donny during bowling.

its a treasure trove out there. wondering why could not find it earlier. Thanks to reddit and some of most nice people living in our time. this is getting more interesting.

Starting today

Scotty I'm 4 lessons in and have been "playing" guitar for 15 years and I have to ask. Where were you 15 years ago!? I'm buying the booklet now thank you for this! ❤

This video, specifically, explained a question I have asked countless times. Why are certain chords minor in a major scale? I can't believe it. Mind blown again, thank you!

I have a question, My guitar has 24 frets so that would be 2 octaves per string? Right? MY guitar also has 6 strings so wouldn't it have 12 octaves? 24x6= 144 notes.

If demanding predictability from the systems I employ and liking to party on Saturday night makes me a cave person then you can unga my bunga pal

I once saw an easy way to remember that there are no sharps or flats in between B, C and E, F. It was a really neat explanation: B-e-C-ause Everything's Fucked. Now I'll never forget it.

Absolutely golden. Love it.

I'm so excited to learn from this, but so far it's been 43 minutes of rambling about how little most players understand nothing about playing the guitar and how people aren't getting enough satisfaction from it. Like I get it, there are some people with a massive ego that needs to be broken down, but it's like going to a driving lesson getting a 40 minute lecture about how most people don't really wanna learn how to drive, they just wanna be able to get from A to B. I'm here for the lesson, I don't need that lecture. But I'm sure it'll appear in the next hour segment

This course is a real gem. Great for people who are serious about learning the guitar. I learned more from this series than anywhere else. I will go back and review each lesson as I continue to learn. It won't be easy, but I have a clear roadmap to follow. Scotty has done us a great favour by posting this series. He deserves thanks and admiration. I'm very impressed. 🎸👍😊

One of the greatest lessons in music for me. I purchased this program years ago and learned so much going through it. I had played in bands but just learned everything from ear. I always felt like this lesson showed me the hidden structure that I sensed but couldn’t really explain. Here I am with a blown out knee going through these again. Watching this again many years later I am picking up new stuff still, I’m pretty hard headed, and just enjoying hanging with Scotty! He’s the buddy that you wish you had in your life! Much love and appreciation to you Scotty, thanks for breaking it down to us!

just started. I get behind the importance to combine theory and practice. Like driving, I also had to learn the rules and not just sit behind the wheel.

31:32 well.....that never occurred to me!

47:28 how come its 2 octaves apart? Isn't 3 octaves apart? Cause at E string 12 fret is the first octave and D string second fret is the 2nd octave and the Low E string is the 3rd octave

series is great and all but asking absolute beginners to play an f major is devious

Cheers from the reddit! Very happy to start this journey after in my 3rd year of playing!

Great guitar lesson and he only actually uses a guitar for like 3% of the time

[01:03:37] Fin [02:01] Start [12:52] 5 chord shapes for major chords. 5 ways to play any chord. [37:13] the A form [48:36] Minor chords

Watching this as a guitarist but I wish I had seen this lesson 20 years ago when I was trying to learn the piano. What seemed so complicated and alien back then is actually relatively simple - all it takes is an amazing teacher!

Excellent

I keep thinking I can fast forward a little…and that would be a mistake. This man is GOAT

Scotty strikes again. Another excellent and informative lesson. Thank you.

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION OF BOTH INSTRUMENTS..

Anyone else feel like it’s easier to play 2 notes with the index finger on the way down too?

I'm so called out already and I'm loving it.

This guy is the real wizard. Not that guy from burzum. You man rock!

20 hours done lets goooo

He really roasted my friend who plays by ear in this one

Started 18th October 2024!

Six main areas of music: Pitch - Did I play the right notes? Rhythm - Did I keep with the beat? Timbre - How did I sound? Dynamics - Did I play the loud parts loudly and the soft parts softly? Technique - Did I cooperate with the machine? Notation - How is my reading?

Thanks god I live in the era of smartphones. If somebody told me to buy me 100 USD keyboard just to practice guitar. I would quite right there

Today lesson 1, tomorrow the world

Ive finished everything up until here in less than two weeks. Thank you!

Oh god this is crazy! The feeling of actually understanding something is one of the best feelings ever!

Reddit user here who discovered your channel through a post there. I'm so happy I found this. I've been looking for something that really dives into music understanding first before getting into the guitar stuff. Watched the 1st vid and I'm so happy to say my year long search for the perfect lesson for my buddy is over. I'll be going through it too!

This color-coating system is really awesome. Ive flipped through plenty of scale books over the years and never have I seen the scales explained as thoroughly as Scotty is doing here. All I need to do from here is practice, practice, practice.

"If you want to satisfy yourself, you have to know what to do inside and out" Interesting choice of words

Thank you Scotty. An amazing Hidden Gem on TH-cam. You have really opened my eyes to music theory and helped boost my lack of music theory knowledge. All 32 lessons have been fantastic and have really helped me excel. I plan to re watch this series a few more time.

Ascend the scale with index shifts. Descend the scale with pinky shifts.

This series is great. Been watching since some months now but it's really, really interesting!

Thank you! I am so glad I found your site!. Your theory about how to teach music is spot on. You're a great teacher.

Incredible lesson!

Mind blown!

1-5-8 is a power chord ... mind blown

Always some wanker swing you to buy his crap !

Did he just gender cavemen in 2001?
