Absolutely fantastic work. Your ability to explain musical ideas that go beyond just song tutorials is otherworldly. Some teach songs, but you create true musicians.
Based T Wong. Been getting into theory over the last year or so, and this is one of the first things I started doing naturally. Nice to be confirmed in that!
I've always felt a little overwhelmed with learning intervals/scales/chords/harmony/the fretboard, but this video really put it together for me and gave me a place to start. Thank you Trevor!
For anyone wanting a easy way to remember the major and minor scale I think about the number of whole steps before a half step. So for the major scale it is just 2-3. So two whole steps, then a half step and three more whole steps and the rest are half steps. This only works because there are no consecutive half steps in both the major and minor scale. So the minor scale would just be 1-2-2. I'm sure other people have come up with this before but putting this here for anyone who would find this helpful.
You can also just remember the notes where the half step occurs. For the major scale, its between notes 3 & 4 and notes 7 & 8. For the minor scale, it's between notes 2 & 3 and notes 5 & 6. But yeah I think there are different ways to remember it.
Great teaching, have been playing guitar for 15 years and just finished taking my first month of lessons. I had no idea how much I was missing buy not knowing the theory behind what I had learn by ear. Great video. Keep them coming!
Dude, this was an awesome lesson I have been trying to jump back on guitar because I’ve been inspired recently by some math rock bands so this is super up my alley Thanks!!!
How about a lesson on picking techniques used in math rock and how to practice them properly? Another good lesson idea is coming up with tapping licks for your chords in math rock.
Hey Trevor I just wanted to say thanks so much for being on this platform and putting all of this good knowledge on here. Most of the time people want us to pay for lessons like this and I just think your a huge inspiration to me as a guitar player. Thanks man 🤘
What helps me is (1= whole step , so skip a note , instead of F and F# which would be a half do F and G which is a whole so on and so on, I just figured this out but wwhwwh works just as great honestly!) E string 11211 A string 21211 D string (it’s just reversed) 21121 G string (this is weird ) 12121 B string is just like the low E string and high e string
Damn, you've over doubled in subs since I started following. I only understand 25 percent of what you say for the most part but still have taught me a lot lmao
1:22 so what about non standard tuning? I really want to learn to play songs I like by ear but how can I even begin to indemnify notes ? And what If they’re on some other tuning? 😭

Thanks Kurt, man that means a lot!
best guitar teacher 🌻
aww thanks!
last time i was this early to a trevor video my girlfriend dumped me for 'being obsessed with that strange man who plays twinkly guitar'
:O i hope that's not real!
She aint worth it man
I love how watching yours and Steve’s videos I ended up covering most of this stuff naturally because I needed it as I was going.
Nice, im glad that we're both able to fill those gaps in the knowledge!

As a beginner knowing to build scales with chords has been one of the most valuable tips i've heared in lesson videos

What band is this guy in? He’s an absolutely genius - best videos I’ve found

Learning some theory definitely helps! Can't go wrong with learning more. Will do and thanks for the kind words!

You have a teaching spirit very detailed not missing a damn thing super music theory 🧠💪

Never looked at scales from this perspective. This is really a great help to me! Subscribed!

I'm still confused about a lot. Like she says she wants me to ask her to marry me, but also says she isn't sure sometimes if she wants to or not
