Steve Stine Guitar Lessons Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your music knowledge in all stages. I referred a friend to this particular session. He got very confused with your 1, 4, 5 technique. though you show and explain the key of “G”, in the bar chord form using the 1, 4, 5 technique, it was incredibly confusing. One would assume the finger/hand position on fretboard would move down the neck 1 fret, then 4 frets and 5 frets. To be honest, I too was a bit confused (from “G” why do you move the bar toward the hi “B” string, followed 2 frets down the neck each step. each.sorry if I confused you. Dann
😂 just stumbled on this video this morning. Totally agree! My teachers just taught me songs. But then I learned all the songs I wanted to learn on my own.
"I don't think you can learn to be a complete musician. It comes from within and it entails a lot of sacrifice." - yngwei malmsteen You gotta be born with it mate, it's a God given gift.
I had generic books but my brain was a head of me, ex on 1st string I was jammed up on the brain saying one string is fine but 2 strings?? Couldn’t get past that
Man, I wish you had been around 45 years ago when I first took up the guitar. I think I've learned more from you in the past month than I have in the last decade. I've always just played what sounded good, but without really understanding why. You're teaching me the WHY and the HOW to discover new things on my own that I hadn't considered before! Thanks!
Jesus!!! 45 years and I never made the connection of the Minor 2, 3 and on the Fretboard..... oh the headaches that could have saved me in figuring out songs before the internet! Thank you, Steve, for this valuable tip!!
@@davulcu64st He either said G, or maybe made a simple mistake. Sometimes that happens while playing and explaining at the same time. But that’s a great question, and great that you knew something was amiss. 👍🏻🎸 This was a great review-even for a lifetime player/music major like myself. 😎
Simply WOW! I cannot believe how simple this is, I've been playing guitar for pretty much a decade and never even realised this, it seems so obvious and I feel like an idiot! Especially as you can apply the modes to each note of the major scale as you go along the 7 notes - ionion, dorian, phrygian, lydian, myxolidian, aeolian and locrian. From here you can identify the chord that a chord progression 'resolves' on and use the corresponding mode to solo over that chord progression with ease.
It would have been nice to have these knowledgable lessons back in the early 90's!! Beginners will never understand the struggles of learning guitar back then! LOL
Hey Steve, I just want to say that this is by far the highest quality guitar lesson content I have seen on TH-cam. I have been playing for 15 years and I have recently started up my own guitar lesson channel and you have truly inspired me as a guitar instructor. I have to say to all the beginner guitarists out there, this man knows what he is talking about and this concept in particular is the absolute single most important piece of knowledge for understanding the guitar. Kudos to you and keep up the amazing work! Peter
I wish all theory teachers were as clear, concise and able to communicate as Steve does. I play piano and did a fair amount of theory. I have taken up the guitar only recently. watching the videos that Steve puts out really highlights to me what a good teacher is all about and that is someone who can communicate so well that he makes new and sometimes complex ideas seem easy. Hats off to you Steve and please continue to make these videos.
THANKS MAN. I'VE BEEN PLAYING ACOUSTIC FOR 46 YEARS NOW, AND YOU JUST HELPED ME APPLY SOMETHING I LEARNED FOR THE BASS (THE "L" SHAPE) AND APPLYING IT TO THE 6 STRING.
I feel like this is the first video anyone should watch while trying to learn music theory for the guitar... I have learned more from this video alone than i have learned sitting and watching crap about music theory for the past two years. THANK YOU STEVE. YOU DA BOSSS
JuicyK So what is the difference between the 3nps pattern major scales and two note major scales ive been learning? thats where im confused can u help a brother out i get everything else but im not having an eureka moment like everyone else has haha
dre cristo There is no difference except for how many notes you are playing per string. I think the reason Steve used 3 notes per string is so that the majority of the chords can be played with roots on the 5th and 6th string to keep the chord shapes simple.
Man, I am writing from Angola country colonized by Portuguese in Africa, I am one of your fan I love watching your guitar classes. You are the best, the only way to be grateful to you is by pressing likes and writing a comments on your regards.
I'm teaching my eight-year-old daughter to play, and I have learned, knowing how to play doesn't mean you can teach. Your lessons are very helpful. Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work.
I've been over and over this video - it's jam-packed full of absolutely fantastic information! A single thumb-up doesn't seem to be enough. Big thanks Steve. Really appreciated.
My knowledge is once again enriched. Thanks! To sum it up, the 1st, 4th, & 5th notes in the diatonic major scale are major. The 2nd, 3rd, and 6th are minor. The 7th is diminished. We can use this idea to identify chords progression in any song. We can track any progression by simply looking for the right root note on the 6th string, and the rest of the notes would follow (it makes life easier since you don't have to worry about the root notes in the other strings once you get familiar with only the 6th string. Hail 6th string!). Just make sure that you identify correctly the tonal chord of the song. You can transform each note that's been given a function into its own chord, which is in barre chord shape, or any chord shapes you are familiar with.
Excellent video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy finally got amazing success with it.
The Comments help me tremendously!! Here it is 2 AM ALREADY! Now, I need to buy the guitar! I need to come back to this great video Steve and just comprehend, REMEMBER and apply, with GREAT self talk also!! Yes, I can do this! Thank You from a beginner that knows very little about Music! I still have time, I am only 70!
I've been playing the guitar for many years...by ear, with almost no knowledge of 'theory'. This video, and a couple of your other ones have expanded my understanding of the guitar exponentially, in mere moments! I wish you (and the internet ;-) ) had been around 30 years ago!!! Thanks!
I have only been playing since sept 2019 . got a gutair given to me and i started teaching myself. I to you-tube for help. Came up on Steve Stine after the first video i wacted of his i was hooked. I watched everyday practiced with his videos everyday. Today i can play like I've played for yrs.. He made it very easy and fun to learn.. STEVE STINE .. YOU ROCK THANK YOU SOO MUCH.. I WISH I COULD MEET U IN PERSON TO SAY THANK YOU !!!
I used to watch these without fundamentals and it used to mess my head up back then,but now with a better base, everything is making sense.I owe you bigtime,man.
I've been playing music almost my whole life. I'm 54 now so that makes....45 years. I learned more from watching this video than anyone else's way of teaching in the same amount of time. Listen to Steve. He is a great instructor and really knows what he's talking about.
I'm only half way into this video... And I have to stop and say: AWESOME! I can't believe no one ever showed this to me before. A truly great trick indeed
I'm watching this 6 years after it was uploaded and wishing TH-cam was around back in the mid-80's when I started to teach myself guitar. When I get more time, I'm gonna sign up for the course and really learn properly. Many thanks from NZ.

Mr. Stine, I have been playing guitar for over 20 years; I consider myself a decent rhythm player; I wanted you to know that you are a very good instructor and I enjoy your videos. As far as theory goes; what order should I watch your videos to improve my knowledge base? Thanks
I have been playing this for years and only realize it now. The way you broke it down made the light go off and now its all clear. Thank you Steve! I think you are a fantastic teacher and mentor.
You sir are a phenomenal teacher. I not only was able to teach myself to match my vocals using the Do Ra Me Fa So La Ti Da method while also playing this, but i could literally throw on a tuner and pretty much match it to G, A, B, C, D, F#, E and its literally the alphabet at this point and i can play it forewords and backwards no problem. You sir, get my many many thanks. I can now understand keys and am totally sold on the methodology of music theory. I have played natural for years and this is easily one of the most influential channels on youtube for myself. You deserve a spot at Fordham.
Steve Stine , I wrote to you for help. No answer. Am guessing my answer is stuck with several lessons. 😔so depressed today, I am highly visual and you are so fast. Also disabled. Just getting upper body control due to spinal injury -7 fusions. Can you pioint me to your web site and visual diagrams to corespondent to your you tube. I also want an old fashioned capo, not expensive. Many thanks for your help. Kathy.
Hey Steve my name is James Scott Nicholson and I've been watching many episodes and having very much trouble trying to put my skills and everything together and after watching this video it was like a lightbulb went off in my head everything made sense finally keep up the good work and for any of those who don't think what you're doing is worthy they need to take A second look thanks a lot buddy Ontario Canada
Just wanna thank you im struggling even after 30 years but you seem to make what i do normally make more sense and gives me more avenues to go down instead of thinking shit what sounds good next.SPOT ON.
I love watching your videos. I'm soon to be 65 and I'm so glad I started watching your videos, turns out I love learning about the guitar as much or more than playing lol. Thank you so much!!

Started playing guitar 3 years ago, and Steve's videos were some of the first lessons I've ever had. Couple years down the line and getting better every single day, Steve's teachings have definitely been a cornerstone! Watching these videos again made me realize how much I've learned from the dude.
I just subscribed to the channel and I no longer feel like a fraud owning a decent guitar. My skills were only worthy of a £100 special but now I'll unzip my Martin case with confidence. Thanks so much!
Great teacher this video is awesome I learned without even picking up the guitar. 3am right and I did something of worth by watching this. This guy and Ben eller are two of the best teachers on TH-cam
You're absolutely the best guitar teacher online. I've been looking for a teacher for guitar theory for a while now. Without gettinging into hair band solos and every video I've see from you is easy to understand and smart.. thx
You have a natural ability to teach, and it comes through very clearly. Unlike the other. I just want to say thank you and I’m happy to discover your video, and I will keep exploring.
Steve, you're the best guitar teacher on the internet. I've learned tons and tons of theory that I'd never expected to understand watching your videos.
This is incredible. These videos have helped me so much when everyone else is trying to explain and exploit I get lost in the language even though it’s English this is the best way to help me get that aha moment and it work I watch the top players of all ages plus the great celebrities that influence me and this helps bring it all together. I’m a visual kind of guy, I can watch you pick up on it and then expand on it but listening to most people get me confused you bring it all together and I just want to say thank you for simplifying and helping me understand what it is I’m doing to help bring more feeling my plane and understanding. Thank you.
For real i now know all my chords because of this dude and my strumming is down. Now im making my own songs on my acrostic.. thank you steve stine.. keep showing us

I guess I've been chasing this realization around for years and years... (I'm 62, so I've got a lot of years to play with, be quiet...) This fit like a hand in a glove! Like I'd always known, but couldn't describe to myself. So, Steve, you've got me talking to myself, ha ha! Seriously, many thanks for all these excellent lessons - I'm having a BLAST!!
Hello Mr Stine I have been in and out of your videos for 3 summers you are the one who taught me theory to build cords different keys staking thirds and how you instructer told you to write things down and counting real fast. to make a cord that was a trip la2a3 real fast and use your fingers to count..thank you for your service....Roland
I picked up guitar recently and I enjoy Steve Stine’s courses tremendously. Me being new, he’s helped me advance along quickly so I can enjoy playing while learning. I really look forward to his lessons.
The best tutorial I've seen in a long while. Over the years I've found patternizing information is one of the best ways to teach/learn, and this tutorial did just that. Thank you!
So what is the difference between the 3nps pattern major scales and two note major scales ive been learning? thats where im confused can u help a brother out i get everything else but im not having an eureka moment like everyone else has
Crazy...Ive played professionally all over the world strictly by ear with no explanation as to why I played certain chords and notes in songs. This made perfect sense...The lights are on now...lol...Thanks,Richie Cash
I had zero theory knowledge so far, and after I've stumbled upon your videos it was just simple as that to understand everything you've mentioned in your video. Seriously, great job man. I'm really thankful for the way you explain things in your videos.
Hi Steve, after more than 40 years playing guitar I finally got an understandable and logic explanation for all the connections on a fretboard. THANK you - you not only made my day you finally brought all the logics to guitar playing! Now I can stop being jealous on all the piano players with their nice and symetric keys ;-)
An important lesson. I figured this out after taking lessons and Finally accepting that I should learn scales. Knowing this helped me with guitar and bass especially when playing with others and not knowing the song.
Steve you are truly amazing , the way you explain things in a really simple manner , it’s just awesome . I have learnt guitar from scratch by watching your videos since march 2020 and today I’m a lead guitarist and singer in my band. Thanks a lot man . Love from India 🥂
Hi Sugam! That's really awesome to know. Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. Really happy to know the videos have been helpful in your musical journey. Keep up the great work and any questions please feel free to ask!
marko from slovenia europe.man you rock.not skillfully-hard,but how you explain things that you know they're difficult,but needed.your way of trying not to take it as lessons but 30min of relax.never loose patience,there's no such think as the best.who feels it best.anystyle.vouten-bassist said.music is pleasure.you learn by the way and if you get and take a few ingenious advices.bless your skills,both as a player and teaching ability.

I feel like I owe this guy a hundreds of dollars from all the stuff I've learned from him. Great teacher!

seriously! me too.

Mind repair!
Yeah
A teacher ?The ability to pass on hard learned information in a simplified manner to help others.This guy is fantastic,thank you so much Steve.
Wish I had a teacher like this back in the nineties, I might have been a musician by now lol

Steve's a natural,
great teacher. He makes things easier to learn without diminishing the content. Steve's a youtube legend !
And yet, at 9:10, the content IS diminished! (Sorry -- I couldn't help myself.)
Jesus!!! 45 years and I never made the connection of the Minor 2, 3 and on the Fretboard..... oh the headaches that could have saved me in figuring out songs before the internet! Thank you, Steve, for this valuable tip!!
Mark I have a question. How can it be a C on the first E string 3th fret?
Thanks alot
@@davulcu64st He either said G, or maybe made a simple mistake. Sometimes that happens while playing and explaining at the same time. But that’s a great question, and great that you knew something was amiss. 👍🏻🎸
This was a great review-even for a lifetime player/music major like myself. 😎
Simply WOW! I cannot believe how simple this is, I've been playing guitar for pretty much a decade and never even realised this, it seems so obvious and I feel like an idiot! Especially as you can apply the modes to each note of the major scale as you go along the 7 notes - ionion, dorian, phrygian, lydian, myxolidian, aeolian and locrian. From here you can identify the chord that a chord progression 'resolves' on and use the corresponding mode to solo over that chord progression with ease.
It would have been nice to have these knowledgable lessons back in the early 90's!! Beginners will never understand the struggles of learning guitar back then! LOL
Amen that lol!

This guy should have millions of subs..... such a great teacher and so knowledgable
I can’t believe one man has explained something that seems so complicated in such a simple manner.
Agreed!!!
How could anyone give this video a 'thumbs down'. Clear, concise...and free!! Talk about ungrateful...smh.
One of the best teachers out there.
THE best. I don't need to go anywhere else

A single thumb-up doesn't seem to be enough.
Big thanks Steve. Really appreciated.
how very cool, anyone who would give this guy a thumbs down is simply nuts. So very clear and easy to understand
Your enthusiastic way of teaching is so contagious and inspiring.
Finally a real teacher on video...the best teacher ever.

Beautifully explained mate. Learned a lot and easily. Thank you
Very nice. I've been playing for over 40 years and never learned this. Thank you.

You sir are a phenomenal teacher. I not only was able to teach myself to match my vocals using the Do Ra Me Fa So La Ti Da method while also playing this, but i could literally throw on a tuner and pretty much match it to G, A, B, C, D, F#, E and its literally the alphabet at this point and i can play it forewords and backwards no problem.

Just getting upper body control due to spinal injury -7 fusions. Can you pioint me to your web site and visual diagrams to corespondent to your you tube. I also want an old fashioned capo, not expensive. Many thanks for your help. Kathy.

-Steve Stine
😂
"Steve" Thank You so Much Well explained A+ excilent Teacher Brother 👍👏🤘Keep them coming 😁
Your ability to explain this in simple way : genius, thanks man
Pretty cool ha?
simplest explanation..
Started playing guitar 3 years ago, and Steve's videos were some of the first lessons I've ever had.
Couple years down the line and getting better every single day, Steve's teachings have definitely been a cornerstone!
Watching these videos again made me realize how much I've learned from the dude.
I just subscribed to the channel and I no longer feel like a fraud owning a decent guitar. My skills were only worthy of a £100 special but now I'll unzip my Martin case with confidence. Thanks so much!
Mate, you just opened a hole new world for a humble 80% self taught person like me. Cheers
Great teacher this video is awesome I learned without even picking up the guitar. 3am right and I did something of worth by watching this. This guy and Ben eller are two of the best teachers on TH-cam
Steve, this just changed my life, bro. THANK YOU!
I don’t know why I’ve never seen this anywhere before. Geez man. Unreal.
The major scale in all 12 keys conquered in under 15 minutes. Steve is genius. Thanks so much sir
So glad it worked for you, Benjamin.
Best and most practical guitar lessons on U Tube
You're absolutely the best guitar teacher online. I've been looking for a teacher for guitar theory for a while now. Without gettinging into hair band solos and every video I've see from you is easy to understand and smart.. thx
I have been playing for more than 15 years, and i wish someone could've told me about this sooner! Simply brilliant.
You have a natural ability to teach, and it comes through very clearly. Unlike the other. I just want to say thank you and I’m happy to discover your video, and I will keep exploring.
Steve, you're the best guitar teacher on the internet. I've learned tons and tons of theory that I'd never expected to understand watching your videos.
This is incredible. These videos have helped me so much when everyone else is trying to explain and exploit I get lost in the language even though it’s English this is the best way to help me get that aha moment and it work I watch the top players of all ages plus the great celebrities that influence me and this helps bring it all together. I’m a visual kind of guy, I can watch you pick up on it and then expand on it but listening to most people get me confused you bring it all together and I just want to say thank you for simplifying and helping me understand what it is I’m doing to help bring more feeling my plane and understanding. Thank you.
For real i now know all my chords because of this dude and my strumming is down. Now im making my own songs on my acrostic.. thank you steve stine.. keep showing us
Awesome, Jessie! Thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing your progress! :-)

i can’t explain how good you are in demonstrating tough things so easy...GOD bless you Sir
I guess I've been chasing this realization around for years and years... (I'm 62, so I've got a lot of years to play with, be quiet...) This fit like a hand in a glove! Like I'd always known, but couldn't describe to myself. So, Steve, you've got me talking to myself, ha ha! Seriously, many thanks for all these excellent lessons - I'm having a BLAST!!
Hello Mr Stine I have been in and out of your videos for 3 summers you are the one who taught me theory to build cords different keys staking thirds and how you instructer told you to write things down and counting real fast. to make a cord that was a trip la2a3 real fast and use your fingers to count..thank you for your service....Roland
I picked up guitar recently and I enjoy Steve Stine’s courses tremendously. Me being new, he’s helped me advance along quickly so I can enjoy playing while learning. I really look forward to his lessons.
The best tutorial I've seen in a long while. Over the years I've found patternizing information is one of the best ways to teach/learn, and this tutorial did just that. Thank you!
So what is the difference between the 3nps pattern major scales and two note major scales ive been learning? thats where im confused can u help a brother out i get everything else but im not having an eureka moment like everyone else has
Crazy...Ive played professionally all over the world strictly by ear with no explanation as to why I played certain chords and notes in songs. This made perfect sense...The lights are on now...lol...Thanks,Richie Cash
Best Guitar teacher I had ever seen.
I had zero theory knowledge so far, and after I've stumbled upon your videos it was just simple as that to understand everything you've mentioned in your video. Seriously, great job man. I'm really thankful for the way you explain things in your videos.
Man, you are something else. You have this ability to easily explain stuff that I have never seen in another human being.
Hi Steve, after more than 40 years playing guitar I finally got an understandable and logic explanation for all the connections on a fretboard. THANK you - you not only made my day you finally brought all the logics to guitar playing! Now I can stop being jealous on all the piano players with their nice and symetric keys ;-)
In 25 years of playing, I’ve never heard this explained this simple. Thanks!!
You have made this outrageously simple, especially the diminished which is what I came here for, all the other stuff was a fantastic bonus. Thank you.
An important lesson. I figured this out after taking lessons and Finally accepting that I should learn scales. Knowing this helped me with guitar and bass especially when playing with others and not knowing the song.
Steve you are truly amazing , the way you explain things in a really simple manner , it’s just awesome . I have learnt guitar from scratch by watching your videos since march 2020 and today I’m a lead guitarist and singer in my band. Thanks a lot man .
Love from India 🥂
