Possibly the most important yet misunderstood aspect of developing as a musician. Like any word in any language, patterns in music exist in 4 dimensions.
"What your friend isn't telling you is yeah he learned that Pearl jam song but there were 10 other songs he couldn't learn this week." Never felt so targeted in my life
2 episodes in and even though I already know a lot of these basics - can tell this guy is hitting some huge key points in progressing. Am looking forward to learning more
These are great! A disease with online guitar teachers nowadays is that they deliberately don't explain certain things, because of course for that you have to pay extra out the ass for their all-new deluxe upgraded Patreon whatever bullshit... They know that actually *teaching* their students would deprive them of their grift. This is the exact opposite of that. And it's sorely needed, now more than ever.
I’m the Reddit user that introduced Scotty to Reddit almost a year ago. 2006 was when I bought the dvd set. I got them because I wanted to know how music worked. I found his course randomly and took the chance. I did lessons and paid a lot and got nothing. This course was a binge watch for me and I am a VERY competent player now. But the course isn’t magic. You still have to put in a lot of work. You just won’t be lost.
@@ORShiTTy whoever you are you've pulled me out of a really dark place. At least I hope. I'm only 2 lessons in and it's underwhelmingly easy so far probably because I've already gone through this level but I can feel like something of substance is coming real soon. Depending on the next few lessons I'll decide whether to buy the material or not because I've made the mistake of hopping on the hype with a certain grifter with over a million subs and the scariest possible hairstyle for his age. Money isn't the issue even though I'm not rich, the feeling of being lost, helpless and scammed hurts beyond measure. Please whatever music gods out there, let this be the one.
Scotty’s course is not a scam. It’s a master course in theory - like a years worth of college. But you only get what you put into it. I learned everything from the DVds but I still supplemented concepts with other videos I found. And I spent a lot of time applying the theory knowledge to the guitar. But I was able to understand and compose music much easier after this course. I had a better idea of what I needed to solidify for guitar. It took me a solid 6months to apply the theory to the guitar and I became exceptionally good before the first year was up. It took a lot of dedication. The course won’t give you that. So dive in and keep on trucking.
This is definitely a different approach for learning the guitar. Comparing music to a language is helpful because letters and words are familiar concepts. Think, Read, Hear, and Speak keeps us on familiar turf.
These are the best videos I've ever seen in my entire life. You busted out a wicked solo near the end. It was sort of funny hearing you sing along to it but it proved your point perfectly and was quite impressive. Thank you for making these. I am learning so much already.
I paid $300 for the dvd set back in 2006. I learned everything from this course. I loaned it to someone and they stole it. I went to buy again now that I have kids and want them to learn the theory I know. I found out the videos are free and had to post Scotty’s channel on Reddit. I’m so elated seeing Scotty’s course get the attention it deserves!
Really great jazzy stuff!!!! I spent 23 years with the USAF bands, as a professional saxophonist. I was hired as a jazz soloist. This guitar course is wonderful.
Excellent, I've been playing the guitar for about a year taking weekly private lessons for 6 months, this is just fabulous. Just tried singing along to a jam track... sounds suspiciously like my improvisation (needs work :D)
I have been seeing classes, videos and books for many years about guitar and to be honest, I am really amazed by the way you have to teach all this different concepts that initially sound rare and distant, but you made them closer and common. Thank you so much for this jewels that you let us enjoy.
I bought a guitar as an aspirational purchase, never went anywhere with it, and then sold it. I think I could’ve done a lot more with it with instruction like this.
I’ve had some ear training and theory - and I am really enjoying this overview. Never thought of the logic of tuning in fourths. I can read classical guitar music intermediate level. Here for more ‘understanding.’ I really like the presentation style. I’m teaching myself some pop songs and Bossa Nova - and I wan to learn how to improvise. What do I really need to know? I’m here to find out and I’m buying the accompanying book well worth the $20 to say thank you to Mr. Scottie!
Ohhhhh Voooow voooow Sir..!!! What a series of Nicely and well structured Videos on tuting soooooo thoroughly and elementary the very very basics of Music Theory and how to make it foundation for the true and proper playing Guitar and other instruments too .!!! Lord Swaminarayan bless you and your family 💕💕🙏👍👌 and your whole Team 🙏👍
This guy cracks me up sometimes with how he says things such as “well there’s some people that speak English that don’t know how to read it, but it’s an awfully tough way to conduct your in society “.
The website is still active, but is the book shop still open? Where it is this old? I wouldn't mind having a good book copy of things if i knew I wasn't paying for nothing.
Haha he reminded me of the jazz guy sketch from I Think You Should Leave in the first lesson! When we was listing his top ten. Played by Tim Heidecker I think
Scotty worked in public broadcast. He did this entire course in early 2000 through public broadcast. So it was on public broadcast tv during the time he filmed. He saved the content and developed a 32dvd course. He sold the course for years through is very infomercial looking website. That’s how I found him and the course in 2006. I’m the one who posted about him on Reddit a year ago (it’s to day in fact) He founded/owns/operates a music school. He eventually decided to give the course away and try to profit off the handbook sales for $20. His course he never gained much success. So I’m so happy to see the post I made rejuvenating things. I actually expect to hear from Scotty soon and I will update the community.
No this is great stuff, but you may not need/want music theory right now. I'd recommend a year of learning chords and a few songs before doing a deeper dive into the language of music.
I gotta make myself one of those bucket seats. Then they'll be clapping and throwing money at me in no time.
Only if you've got rhythm ;)

God this guy is so cool, maybe he is not the best guitar player or singer, buy he is definitely one of the best teachers in the world
Agreed!
These are great!

@@ORShiTTy dedication and obsession is all I've got. Can't wait to finish this course in this case!
You’ve done a real nice job of organizing the information in these first 2 lessons I’ve checked out so far
That solo with the voice over top made me smile :)
I’m honestly in awe at your abilities to clearly communicate something so BIG. It’s a gift to watch you in action.

@@JakeBurgard Thank you for posting it on reddit! i went ahead and i bought the book too
Really great jazzy stuff!!!! I spent 23 years with the USAF bands, as a professional saxophonist. I was hired as a jazz soloist. This guitar course is wonderful.
I'm really enjoying the way you explain this stuff. Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m only on lesson 2 and random people are already throwing money at me!
This is exactly what I needed. Was stuck with so many book it was a maze. 2 lessons in.and have already honed in on much I didn’t get. Thanks Scotty.
absolute gold mine, i found the link to the website. these videos are so helpful, is there anyway i can donate?

Love the series and thanks for the solo guitar and voice performance!
Sad minor
Happy major
I bought a guitar as an aspirational purchase, never went anywhere with it, and then sold it. I think I could’ve done a lot more with it with instruction like this.
Is this guy still alive? I hope so he is really cool
You really gotta harness your inner Jack Black to vocalize a guitar solo

After seeing this, it's clear to me that "Bucket Head" has it all wrong....
I'll try my hand at Pearl Jam by ear right after I finish this lesson!
tuning by ear is an invaluable skill....electronic tuners only get you close.
this dudes swallowing is impressive
I went through both of the videos so far and I'm confused because instead of people throwing money at me I've been throwing money at other people
I watched episode 1, bought the handouts and just got it printed. Here we go!
This guy cracks me up sometimes with how he says things such as “well there’s some people that speak English that don’t know how to read it, but it’s an awfully tough way to conduct your in society “.
Well, he is telling the truth.

Love the respect he gives Phish! One of the few out there
gold mine
The website is still active, but is the book shop still open? Where it is this old? I wouldn't mind having a good book copy of things if i knew I wasn't paying for nothing.
Ordering the book today. $20 it’s the least I can do to say thanks to Scottie.
Awesome!
Hi
I loved your way of teaching. Thank you so much :)
Can I reserve a package?
Watched on 08/12/2024. Blew my mind, first time that I actually understood the theory. Amazing!
:)
I hope this lesson is pathetically simple and will have people throwing money at me.
I get strong Zach Galifianakis vibes from this fella.
Haha he reminded me of the jazz guy sketch from I Think You Should Leave in the first lesson! When we was listing his top ten. Played by Tim Heidecker I think
Ha, nailed it. And the 80s home DVD style reminds me of the "between two ferns" set.
Scotty worked in public broadcast. He did this entire course in early 2000 through public broadcast. So it was on public broadcast tv during the time he filmed.
He saved the content and developed a 32dvd course. He sold the course for years through is very infomercial looking website. That’s how I found him and the course in 2006. I’m the one who posted about him on Reddit a year ago (it’s to day in fact)
He founded/owns/operates a music school. He eventually decided to give the course away and try to profit off the handbook sales for $20.
His course he never gained much success.
So I’m so happy to see the post I made rejuvenating things.
I actually expect to hear from Scotty soon and I will update the community.
wow man! i'm blown away by the scales you play. i'm now 2 hours into this crap and nothing useful. this is a waste of time.
No this is great stuff, but you may not need/want music theory right now. I'd recommend a year of learning chords and a few songs before doing a deeper dive into the language of music.
