Just wanted to say thank you. I am 56 years young and have been playing guitar since I was 10 with no formal training. I have picked up different things from family and friends over the years and I taught myself to play bass. for the last 8 years I have played in a local band and we have done great. Our lead guitar moved out of state and I have made the leap to lead guitar with your videos in the last 2 months you have given me the tools and the confidence reach the next level of playing. I plan on playing for a long time and with your help I know I can, So again thank you for your style of teaching and rock on.
Amazing teacher. I stop playing guitar for quite sometimes because i could not understand MODES. As you explained it thoroughly , again i’m am now intrested and motivated and grab my guitar. Thanks Sir Steve. Blessings! Philippines here.
From The Philippines here.. You changed how I see guitars! I've been thru all your vids and I really find it easy to follow and understand.. MY NEXT PROJECT IS TO BUY A CHEAP ELECTRIC GUITAR AND FOLLOW MY DREAMS.. THANK YOU TEACHER STINE. Stay safe and clean! ❤🤘🤘🤘
Gmj, Bmin, Cmj, Dmj... Just learn this progression for the Bowie: Ziggy Stardust. Thanks Steve. It was one of your other videos that got me to learn the song.
Been playing bass guitar for 38 yrs, never learned scales. I play by ear, but now i want to try guitar and some home studio stuff. Your videos make much more sense than other teachers i have tried. THNX PEACE
YT is a great enabler of bright light syndrome. Currently working on my own lesson plan w/ different Playlists of lessons. This 3-parter will make a fine addition. I've found going back to learning songs is an essential part of the process. Recently found a new muse w/ The Cars, and Elliot Easton's guitar playing. Never had a problem w/ breaking out of the box. I've always been kind of backwards in learning how to do thing's. Now, I'm learning to respect the patterns and what they truly have to offer. I find Easton is perfect for that.
Again, another wonderful video. I really believe in the things that Steve is saying. Especially in terms of visualization and putting things together that will enhance whatever it is you're trying to play.
I am getting ready to turn 50. I have played guitar but have stayed in same chord regimens By learning the triads of different areas it is now allowing me to explore the guitar all over again. You are very simple in your approach.
Hi Steve ,I'm satisfyd of your lessons .I normaly speak french and live in Gabon in central Africa and through your lesson ,I also learn english ,bye !
Very good lesson to give us where our creativities need to be anchored, so that we won't get lost in our creative adventures. Thanks Steve. Cheers from Indonesia.

Excellent info and lesson.I cant believe the leads are a plain g major scale-they sound exotic from they way you break it up in pieces and dont play it as a straight pattern.Dont think ive seen anyone else explain it so well.Also your intervallic pentatonic lesson is enligtening.I still dont understand theory and the relationship of notes and their context but the lightbulb will go on one day. As an aside i think one thing that could help a little is if you had one of those loops of the chord progressions that you play lead over. Thanks!

Hello Steve You're my guitar teacher since day 1. I'm so thankful bro!!!!! I play for 3 years and everyone tells me my pinky is very weak and i can't use it. Can u make a Video tutorial explaining what should i do to correct it?
Meet the Jumping Frog that is mesmerized by the shiny light. I know this--but needed to hear it (again) from outside my head. Thanks so much. Now to see if I can focus. This is the second time I watched this so it must need to be heard over and over. Thick head. I sometimes feel like I've developed ADHD in my 60s in this regard. Stay Well Groovy One!
I am kinda conservative, I don't find tattoos helpful to our body, but when I tried and learned a lot from his lessons, I said, he is cute with his tattoos, it is all from the heart, after all. What a heart you have, to share your gift through this way steve!
Legend says "" Steve is a wizard and cast spells with his guitar. Hehe Brilliant stuff as always Steve! Your by far the best online guitar teacher and your aproach explanation is spot on so if ever u feel down take a look at all these comments. Good luck with everyting and May you prosper in all u do .. big thumbs up :)
Man, you got a wonderful spirit, sharing in what the spirit of truth has to offer, of guitar, which is quite the Nobel thing much like feeding the masses. You probably get what I mean in sharing a bit of incite too. That said we can also see what Error in spirit is which contrary to a joyful outlook, even how we are subject to error, from time to time, often by the error of others. For context, the Spirit is that of which we are animated and how we manifest truths in the truth of this material reality. Its no wonder we are attracted to the spirit of the way of music in truth, even what God the Spirit of truth has to offer for our enjoyment, when we choose to go in the loving ways of the spirit of truth as opposed to error in spirit and its ways of unrest in being subjected. If ya think about this, truth of the spirit, it all makes so much more sense, the world, of the spirit of the ways of truth-- and error. That's why I call it "the awesome spirit of music." And thanks... for sharing.
Hi. Thanks for commenting. This video was made a while back and I'm not sure if the backing track is available, however here are the basic chord changes if you want to make your own backing track or loop it on a pedal or play it with a friend. Basic chords: G - Bm - C - D Hope this helps. 🙂
Youre bringing many videos out right now. Amazing ....would be interested in some Song lessons again like you did for ]V[EGADET]-[ ...greetings from Germany ✌️
Any chance of sharing what backing track that is? There are a lot of free ones on the web but none I've found that are that bluesy (not sure that's the right word...) that drive you in the direction of such a melodic piece like you are laying over it. Tks !!
As it happens.. I started on Ukulele so I tend to play the open chords of a ukulele.. Well 3 strings usually of.. So the D to G thing was already my first thought.. Limiting yourself with a capo until you can play in a position has been my game since I realized this happened
Lisa, I'm not sure about this particular video, because Steve's gear setup changes a little here and there as time goes by. But if you want to check out the gear Steve currently uses, go here: guitarzoom.com/gear Hope this helps! :-) -- Mike from GuitarZoom
Sir make a video on how to make money and how to buy guitar. 💔The way you are teaching sir, that makes me more wanting to leave acoustic and play electric.😣😥
How much can you spend? DO you have a job? Too young for real jobs? Mow lawns. Clean gutters. Trim bushes. Ask neighbors what kind of odd jobs can you do for money. You'll be surprised how they give you work just because you asked and there lazy and don't want to do it. In my opinion the very best "cheap" guitars that are still exceptional quality are 80's model Peaveys. Here is one currently on ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/Peavey-Predator-Strat-style-electric-guitar-RH-handcrafted-in-U-S-A/401789566175?hash=item5d8c863cdf:g:GyMAAOSwd7Vc9T0M&frcectupt=true Another www.ebay.com/itm/Peavey-Predator-Handcrafted-in-the-U-S-A/113782625561?hash=item1a7df91519:g:N6sAAOSw~Zpc7TuM I bought a 85 peavey Falcon and LOVE it!! Quality matters. Don't buy some cheap chinese crap. Those 2 are bidding under $200. But that's rare. If you can borrow the money get one now. But save at least $300. Typical price range $250-300. Ibanez can be found under $300 too. Made in Japan would be my 2nd choice. Korea 3rd. NEVER Chinese crap please. Craigs list and pawn shops are good to look at too. Ask a pawn shop if you can do work for it. Taking out trash. Sweeping floors. STuff like that even a kid can do. Show people you're motivated to work and they will put you to work. Most of the time.

Because of this man.
I was able to decipher what I thought was
A big obstacle before.. Thanks Man! Steve the guitarman!
where do you add in songs for consideration
Amazing teacher. I stop playing guitar for quite sometimes because i could not understand MODES. As you explained it thoroughly , again i’m am now intrested and motivated and grab my guitar. Thanks Sir Steve. Blessings! Philippines here.
This guy has got to be the best guitar teacher on TH-cam. EVERYTHING makes sense.
Who say you can't learn! Thanks Steve. The more I watch you the more I learn. You make it simple
From The Philippines here.. You changed how I see guitars! I've been thru all your vids and I really find it easy to follow and understand.. MY NEXT PROJECT IS TO BUY A CHEAP ELECTRIC GUITAR AND FOLLOW MY DREAMS.. THANK YOU TEACHER STINE. Stay safe and clean! ❤🤘🤘🤘

Thank you so much. I have learned so much from you. You are right. This is all up to me to study. You are so helpful. Thank you.
Steve "and it's perfectly fine" Stine!!
lol
"I'm not saying or telling this is the way..,Okay?!?" .
I'm learning sooo much from you 😍

Thanks mate
For all Steve's fans, and I am a fan too...A good book to or player, for methodical playing is: Original Randy Rhoads, by Wolf Marshall.
Excellent info and lesson.I cant believe the leads are a plain g major scale-they sound exotic from they way you break it up in pieces and dont play it as a straight pattern.Dont think ive seen anyone else explain it so well.Also your intervallic pentatonic lesson is enligtening.I still dont understand theory and the relationship of notes and their context but the lightbulb will go on one day.
As an aside i think one thing that could help a little is if you had one of those loops of the chord progressions that you play lead over.
Thanks!
Nailed it. Shiny distractions, i had to chuckle.
Great advice at the end Steve. This video is great reinforcement for what I've already learned, thank you.

Abundantly upgrade with your teaching
Hi Steve.. You are so helpful... More power to you. Where do I find the pdf you mentioned in the video
you seem like the nicest person in the universe.
Masterrrrrrrr.......
amazing teacher wow can i request this backing track if possible thanks
Hi. Thanks for commenting. This video was made a while back and I'm not sure if the backing track is available, however here are the basic chord changes if you want to make your own backing track or loop it on a pedal or play it with a friend.

Hope this helps. 🙂
Thanks Steve....
Do you do private lessons?

🤣 I saw part 1. I started at Parr 5. Lol
I'm back! For part 1.
Anyone know what’s the tab at 5:00 ? It’s so smooth; I want to continue it
How do you find the PDF Steve mentioned? He said it's somewhere below but I don't see it.
Hay Steve what do you think about SRV's playing style, especially using his thumb?
I've seen so many people using their thumb playing E shapes and muting as such. Anything you can make work for you.. DO IT!!.
18:20 Real life advice
Is he getting that great sound just from the Kettner and Hughes or is he also using pedals and/or something else?
Lisa, I'm not sure about this particular video, because Steve's gear setup changes a little here and there as time goes by.

Where's the pdf link?
dangit... I was hoping this would be something I can do.
I think I'm not ready for this yet :(
maybe 6 more months of practicing I can revisit. Saved for later.
When you start playing i forget it is a lesson.
Sir make a video on how to make money and how to buy guitar. 💔The way you are teaching sir, that makes me more wanting to leave acoustic and play electric.😣😥

What would Steve Stine do?
His lick was very reminiscent of joe satriani
Just not the same with out the JEM..
Steve, i love your teachings but you go too fast sometimes.
