Decent video, Dan. These type of "fine points" of theory are precisely what 99% of guitar "tutorial" vids are lacking; there's absolutely no shortage of people teaching the same GAPPED material, where chunks / snippets of imperative information that ties points together are completely absent; just endless amounts of videos that waste fifteen minutes of segmented information without completing anything useful. I hope you can make more videos that concisely cover theory, and specifically how one area makes use of another. No-one needs yet another half hour video of hearing the sounds, and seeing the fingerings, of the modes only to not also see how they immediately tie to chording, so solo'ing can be applied. No-one needs to watch twenty more videos of "the last, ultimate, box shape you'll ever need" pentatonic scale, only for them not to show how that ties into chord progressions, and what chord tones to be aware of. I say all this because it appears to me you have a better understanding of theory than most, and more importantly you have an idea how to relate it all so there's a bigger picture illustrated. I'd wager most advanced guitar students can't progress because their chops are simply too compartmentalized to be able to truly own the fretboard the same way they own their lips to whistle a tune. More importantly, it's just incredibly obvious that a lot of channels are just there for the circle-jerk. "Gurus" that know enough to know they can leverage people's mystification about guitar for ages before the student learns enough to realize how limited the information they're getting really is. I'd love to see you rise well above the circle-jerkers making forty minute videos that just piss people's time away. Also, in your CAGED video, which was pretty good, you didn't explain WHY you chose to land the various shapes on the frets you did.
Thanks so much for your comment! I appreciate your insight. I find that the internet is over saturated with tons of lessons and lots of...not to the point, or useless content. I’ve been teaching professionally for 15 years and have been through both classical and jazz music school(which I’m not a huge fan of)...so, I’m trying to avoid the useless things and get straight to the point about what will help the general population understand music better. I’m not sure exactly which part of the video on the CAGED you mean, but I’m always open for questions in the comment sections of my videos. Have a good one!
@@DanielSeriffMusic In respect to my mention of your use of the CAGED example, now that I think about it and without rewatching it, I think it's because you only demo'd CAGED in one example, as opposed to giving a few examples of how the shapes tie together when using them in barres, the same way people would be more familiar with by using the "open" chords. I can't say as I've personally come across a good video yet, and hopefully something already exists, where the CAGED system is explained in a way that demonstrates how to usefully relate the chord intervals in a few areas up and down the neck; what I'm saying is, if it's not already clear, the beginner/intermediate student may develop an appreciation for how the CAGED system shows the five shapes will produce the same chord tone in various areas of the fretboard...but won't necessarily see how to develop a useful chord progression beyond that, and likely not beyond mimicking the same static position that transposes upward the open chords voicings.
I’d be happy to dig deeper if you have specifics. I agree, that video was specifically about a CAGED overview. If you had some specifics, I’d be happy to throw it together.
@@DanielSeriffMusic could you fab us, your appreciative followers, a video where you move around CAGED groupings and form them into a melodic progression, please? I'll elaborate: I bet, if you asked...or a beginner thought much about it...if they felt like their chordal "range" seemed very limited with open position chords, they'd say "Actually, yeah!". So, I'd like to see a video where instead of being shown how the CAGED shapes can be danced around the neck to demonstrate the SAME chord sounds, viewers are shown a melodic progression that demonstrates the benefits of getting more into the middle of the neck, so there's room to go back toward the headstock or up to the bridge; and also explaining how to incorporate lead patterns that harmonize with the progression.
@@fraserwing8744 I dig it. Specific progression? 1-4-5. 1-5-6m-4...anything in particular? I'm down for whatever progression...and key? The people's key? G? Hah!
Thanks for checking out my video on music theory and simplifying the major scale. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

Top stuff dude! These vids are looking great :)
Yo man!! I appreciate it.
More please.
Yes. Every week. :)
