Lol I wasn’t sure if I want to grab my fishing bucket or guitar while watching this - with the sandals, vest and bucket Scotty looks like he’s ready to gap it to his fishing hole as soon as he stops recording. Next episode how to cast a fly lure. I also wish I had this in ‘99 too however!!! So many things clicking together after years.
Scotty you are master at teaching, your lessons are really eye (and ear) opening! I had music taught to me so badly in middle school that I pretty much thought it just wasn't for me, at 37 y/o I'm enjoying studying the subject and practicing guitar.
First video of this series that I’m commenting on! So far this series has been awesome and has connected a lot of dots for me. I’ve also bought the $20 material, which has been very useful. Having a physical copy of everything being taught allows me to not have to come back to a video to clear up any concepts I may need a reminder for. For anyone who’s just learning guitar, i want to say that learning keyboard could also be very valuable as well, especially when it comes to memorizing notes. I’ve been using the Alfred’s piano book to learn and there’s been a good amount of info from that book that connects to these lessons, but especially this one. It’s easy to follow and even 30 minutes a day of keyboard on top of guitar can be very helpful! I never thought I’d learn either of these instruments but here I am! Still have a very long way to go but just like learning any language and skill, it takes time!
Watching this as a guitarist but I wish I had seen this lesson 20 years ago when I was trying to learn the piano. What seemed so complicated and alien back then is actually relatively simple - all it takes is an amazing teacher!
Completely nerding out here and feel free to ignore this comment because what Scotty explains here is all you need. There *is* an A# scale (and I guess key)! It's just that no one uses it precisely because reading such a key would be super annoying and there's no real benefit over just using Bb. The A# scale would go: A# B# C## D# E# F## G## A#. Now obviously, B# is simply the equivalent of a C and double sharps are definitely silly, etc., but technically you could notate it that way. Note that, just like Scotty mentioned, we avoid alphabetic redundancy, which is why we notate it like this. How did I derive what the scale should be, precisely how Scotty teaches how to describe major scales: its interval definition.
Of the two ways to write the key signature - putting sharp, natural, or flat on each note vs sharps or flats next to the clef, is one more common than the other? If it’s in the key of C with no sharps or flats, is the second way just left blank?
Hi MY-kv9cu, Excellent question. Sharps and flats are almost always conveyed by the key signature ... not by putting symbols in front of the notes. This generally only occurs when you have notes that deviate from the key signature. These are called "accidentals" as they "accidently" show up in the song. YES the key signature for the key of C is left blank. Continued success with the course!
@@absolutelyunderstandguitar60Hi Scotty! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I should have reviewed the book after the lesson because I do see now that it says the key of C is left blank. I am thoroughly enjoying your courses and have learned a ton so far. I especially liked your explanation of the origins of the diatonic major scale in lesson eight. Thank you for creating this program and making it available on TH-cam.

Great introduction, the "invisible middle C line" and explanation of avoiding alphabetic redundancy is quite eye opening! :o
The moment he explained the alphabetic redundancy concept I vocally let out “Oooh!”
Best advice you'll get from somone on a bucket!
Thanks for this wonderful series! Wish I had it in 1999 😂

Fantastic lesson as always! Best $20 I’ve ever spent lol

Scotty, you are a superb teacher 👏😃👏👍
Walter learned about music in Vietnam. And maybe from Donny during bowling.
LMAO it's almost perfect

huge twist with the outfit this week lol
Another banger of an lesson. Great stuff. Best YT find ever!
This series will have millions of views one day soon
I do wanna play rock & roll in 1999!
Awesome!
finishing this whole series
Savant at explaining music theory
It’s interesting to see how many people make it to the next lesson, considering how easy and short they are
