Just called the C chord a triad in front of my guitar buddies and they took me out back and shot me in the head, I'm bleeding out and only have enough time to type out this senten
Remember watching this when i was begginer don't undestand a single damn thing but now after 2 years progress i figured all things you said all by myself
same in here like the romain numbers ...which sound weird somehow and it's so easy in fact...made to understand the tonal progression....third fourth fifith etc...in the video he completely demystified it in a cool way...schools need a guy like him.
Dude, English is not my main language and I've been having issues with Spanish content (which is my main language) because I don't found them entertaining enough. Yours videos are so much fun and enjoyable, and I can understand a bit more about music theory, and I love it. Thank you so much for mixing music with comedy, and a taste of shitpost. 💕
i've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is truly the coolest video I've seen about scales.....great job definitely...you actually demystified some stuff that many people struggle with, cause they sound/look pretty difficult or made in a way that they look so...schools really need guys like you...the best way of teaching and letting people enjoy...only people who master things are able to explain them in the simplest possible way...
this is like learning from the cool teacher at school and he actually makes stuff interesting, fun, and easy to understand while also still being on topic
Your approach is absolutely brilliant. You combine technicalities with silliness which the the IDEAL way for our brains to memorize seamlessly. Your teaching isn’t just great, it’s phenomenal.
Take your time, it will all come together one day. All you need is someone to sit down with you, take it all apart and slowly put every piece together, then it will click. Been there
@@Andrew-pv8oz i think when i watched this video it confused the shit out of me cause it explained all scales in general. i watched some other videos explaining singular scales and i have been learning those and i understand this a bit better now. thank you guys for reminding me i needed to stop procrastinating
dude I love your voice and energy and I don't even own a guitar (would probably pick one up in few months and start learning) edit: ohh and the flow of your video.. it's just soooo natural and smooth!! I wonder how much time spent writting the script for this video
You should learn. I’m just starting but learning the first like main major and 7th chords or even just d c g and e minor can be rewarding and good beginning guitar can go for like just 200 bucks or so
@@AndyMcDrew im curios on if you know any music yet or just the chords because im really really interested in playing the guitar but i dont know how to learn it my parents gave me a chance by letting me borrow but it didnt work because i didnt know where to start.. which made me lacked motivation because i had no progress
It's kind blowing to me just how much application this one video has. I'm trying to teach myself guitar and every week or so I find myself coming back to watch this again because the concept I'm working on at the time somehow ties back to this again and again and again. Really rock solid video.
Holy shit I wish I would’ve known this when I took high school choir. I’ve never in my life heard a better explanation of something I’ve struggled so long with. Like wtf thank you so much
Literally way more helpful and informative than almost every other guitar theory video on TH-cam not to mention it barely just over three minutes amazing work man
What's really interesting was watching this video over and over and over again from day one of playing and after 10+ hours of playing. Every time you understand something better and connect it with other information! wonderful video!
I know I'm supposed to be paying attention while watching, but I can't help laughing (in a good way) while watching. The puns are spot on and how you explain things just makes sense to me. Thank you very much for providing content and keeping it in a fun tone (tone
been watching you on and off since 2020 and it always amazes how good your formatting is. every thing you said was correct, and easy to remember or correlate for beginners.
This is legitimately one of the best music theory videos I've ever seen my entire freaking life. I don't even know how to actually play any instruments...yet.
Dude I kinda get this. I’ve learned through tab and as I keep playing I’m picking some stuff up by ear and I noticed the chromatic scale through just some basic drills. But hearing you articulate it helps put things in perspective, thanks!
This actually told me more than any other vid, every other vid either thinks you dont know a-g in the alphabet or thinks you already know everything and go into super advanced things
omg the sliding visual thing I NEEDED omfg for 20years! Ya'll are so blessed to have internet videos 😂 I just had to learn the hard way and fail actual music class
Good lord, I feel like I've learned more in this three minute video than years of playing guitar without formal instruction. My head hurts learning all of this, but in a good way. I've rewatched this video at least ten times.
As a guy who is musically illiterate, and who just fucks around and finds out what notes and chords work. This looks almost understandable compared to a lot of other "simplified" music theory videos, almost like I could learn, and then apply it or something.
this single handedly helped me with visuals on the scales and how they work, i've never been able to understand it before. But music is a circle and time is an illusion was funny af but also true! Thank you for this video!
I've only been playing guitar for a half a year maybe and my guitar teacher explained this to me. This video made it a lot simpler and it really helped me! All your videos are helpful! Thx!
I love your channel dude. You're basically the equivalent of the guy who makes you understand the math problem your teacher hasn't been able to explain to you in weeks in only 5 minutes but for guitar.
i had to rewatch this vid 4 times in a row. that should tell you 2 things. i have severe ADHD, and your content is worth rewatching. Subbed and belled!
Holy fuck this video is incredible. So simply animated and put into words things that just make sense. I have been playing guitar for a couple years now and have always put off learning music theory cause I figured I could just figure it out along the way but this helps so much with understanding what I have actually been doing. Thank you
Thank you for making the circle of fifths theory linear, which makes more sense to me. It is an amazing light bulb moment. The Roman numeral note assignment now makes sense as well. Chords make more sense also. When a 3rd or a 5th is cited, I now know what that means. I am very pleased with this illustration! Thanks again, so much! BMW
This video is amazing and absolutely genius... And so are you ;) (P.S. There's a quote from a church leader of mine that I think applies really well to your method of explaining (just to further provide you with much deserved praise for this video) - "It is true intelligence for a man to take a subject that is mysterious and great in itself and to unfold and simplify it so that a child can understand it”)
That was actually very helpful. I've been strumming a guitar for 30 yrs and still sound like I did 30 yrs ago. I've had no guidance and not much creativity to figure it out myself, so your videos help. Thanks!
i have been trying to understand chords for the whole time i have bene "teaching myself guitar", for a year now. This seems way to simple to work, but it does. Damn good video.
Everything about this video was so so so perfect! Images, metaphors, content! And what you left out to not overcomplicate the topic. Also I have adhd and this had my attention!
Thanks so much. Been playing self taught for years with plenty of long breaks (years). I want to now learn theory to take the knowledge and leave the plateau. This was a huge help
I'm a guy who never actually learned guitar but I know how to play some songs (I can play the last of us theme, the solos for Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, Hurt by Johnny Cash, Through The Valley from the last of us, and Blackbird By The Beatles. And that's it. I know 7 chords by heart, A minor, D, C, Cmaj7, G, Em, E)). I recently wanted to try and actually learn the instrument because I want to try and write my own songs eventually, even if they're elementary. I didn't realize I needed this to write songs that actually sound pleasant. This video helped a lot.
Thansk for coming back...i fell in love with ur videos and yheir humor and flow while i was starting to develop intrest in guitar....and for sometime I've been waiting for ur comeback....ur awesome man
In my second year of highschool I took AP Music Theory 1-2; I ended up scoring a 1 on the exam and barely passed the class only cause the 5 other people in my class were also failing horribly so the teacher tried to make it wasy for us. I wish I saw this video then because you just explained like half the course so easily and it's like i've reached enlightenment.
I’ll get it one day! Been tracking my progress of understanding these concepts via how well I understand the video each time I watch. It’s been helpful! Thanks man ✨
Shit... that was my biggest fear in a lifetime... all of the sudden someone comes up with a truly cool, entertaining and likewise really clear and explanatory way of describing the 'How's to making Music'. From now on really everyone can and it is a lot harder to stand out and shine. Google... pls censor this act of whistle blowing! Just kidd'n This video is fabulous. Thank you!
This may just be an example of exposure did more than the video, but I finally got it after watching this video. The same thing happened after years of learning to scream. All it took was a random 30 second video for me to get it... or I gained enough info over the years to actually get it.
The music as cooking correlation is pretty brilliant, actually.
They both have in common that they are a bit salty
@joe mama go back to your correlation's basement 😀
I heard Tosin Abasi give that analogy a while ago and it's pretty spot on. It takes music theory from a set of "rules" to a set of options.
@@fragwagon this makes complete sense and I love it
I don’t know how to cook either
Wow, music theory is so easy now. I don't even have to buy it dinner first.
Crazy seeing you in the wild lol
How do you feel after writing this comment?
No one has ever made music theory sound so straightforward for me. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏾
