      There is so much beginner content out there, I feel like I don’t need to contribute in that area. Once you can play a few chords and a pentatonic scale, anyone interested in making music would probably have a blast learning in my school.

    Great video. I'm a longtime drummer that started learning guitar just before Covid. I had a few in person lessons then everything stopped. I turned to the internet to continue since I was locked in my home for a year. I fell down the CAGED rabbit hole. Something my guitar teacher and bandmates were completely against. I didn't get it at all until I stumbled across your lesson on it. I'm now a gigging guitar player and I want you to know your free videos are a huge reason. I still play drums but I can honestly say I have a better understanding of the fretboard than the guitarist in my band. He's good, but is quite limited. He's blown away with how I can play chords all over the fretboard. He has to use a capo to do what I do with the CAGED system. And he still won't learn it because he doesn't want to get "caged" in.
    Anyways thank you so much.

    The way you explain things is so perfect for people just starting out with theory. Calling a pentatonic scale the "skeleton" of a major scale... you really have a mind for explaining concepts, and as someone who works in developing training programs across different industries, anytime you're looking for a career in education, it's waiting for you :).

    No idea if you will see this mate but I had to leave a comment. I've been playing for a few years and have wanted to learn how to improvise/solo for a long time. I'm not exaggerating when I say I have watched 100s of videos, bought countless books and paid for several online courses. Yet I'm always left feeling frustrated that nothing is sinking in. I stumbled across this video and your way of teaching caught my attention. The visuals you used in this video alone really connected with my way of learning. As soon as the video ended I joined your patreon and I've started my journey along your guitar theory course. I'm only a couple of hours in but I can honestly say that this is the first time I am getting to grips with the scales and understanding the reason why they work and how to use them. Your teaching method is great and your visuals and practice routines are just perfect for someone who is more of a visual learner like myself. I highly recommend your patreon to anyone who is in the same position as me. I'm finally enjoying learning again! Thankyou for your lessons and I look forward to continuing my guitar journey with your guidance!
