    You know Dave actually and truly wants to teach us all music when you hear him say "and hopefully you'll never have to watch another one of my TH-cam videos."
    That there is a true legend.

    This video is basically helping us learn by ourselves in which we wouldn’t need Dave’s videos anymore. That just shows how dedicated Dave is to teaching us all how to become the best guitarist we can be! And I applaud you for that!

    I’m in a weird area where I like the “ just feel it out man” style but I also am fascinated by the technical and mathematical way music works approach.
    There’s such a thing as getting really good at doing something bad or wrong. Find what your brain does best but also train harder what it struggles with. Trial and error

    I actually stumbled into this method intuitively once I figured out that the bass player of the song is usually playing the root note of a chord.
    Really good tool not only for figuring out songs, but also for composing, because you can use the bass notes as the skeleton for your chord progs

    @gerarpope6581 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just finished a beginner's course. I think my challenge could have been my expected approach from learning another instrument or instruments years ago. So what he is saying and/or confirming is that it helps for guitar players to learn all of the chords first, then the playing of individual strings later, right? If so, then it all makes sense why every beginner's lesson that I've checked out will have individuals learning the name of the keys first. Then play keys together as chords, right? So I just need to continue to practice and memorize the chords for now. A common theme in all of these lessons that I see us someone teaching the E, A, D, chords first. From there, the chords varies with each teacher, yet all or most of the chords are eventually taught. Yet I think I got it. I'm inspired to keep practicing and memorizing the chords.

    My method is first figure it out the vocals which I think is easier than figure it out the power chords. Then with the vocals I identify the key, this can fail but most times it works . Then with the key I identify the tonic chord, which is the chord that sounds good to end the song. And on base of that I get the other chords.
