no clickbait, straight to the point and easy to understand. You're the real MVP

[Chakallbitu]

The bass is so easily ignored in the majority of songs, yet by simply paying attention, one can figure out a song structure quickly

That's how a video should be made, straight to the point, 5 minutes length. Tired of watching 15-20 minutes of length videos which could have been explained in just 4-5 minutes. Great work 👍

This was freaking awesome. The guy painted a visual so perfectly. Well done

Note: I'm a voiceover agent. I have to say, your vocal delivery over the content is perfect. You have the right tone, speed and pacing. You're very easy to follow. Great editing as well.

10 months after you posted this video, I was looking for this subject matter across YouTube. Not only this particular video but all your channel videos are a godsend to help develop my guitar playing to much higher plane. Thank you.

[jungeezy]

I love the “this will sound bad” warning lol. Really shows how we’re naturally programmed to listen for “good” sounding patterns

[boomerdell]

Great lesson, as always! Yes, please, would LOVE to see a video explaining your method for finding the chords -- and, if you're up for it, the melody -- of a song. You walk us through these things so clearly. Thank you!

[jamesp]

Tip for beginners: sometimes you may find it easier to use this exact method, but on your treble E string instead (E1). The dissonant notes stand out more as the wrong notes, and the right notes sound more "right".

[vicjuf]

As a novice guitar player, this is the most useful video I ever watched

[michaelcumming]

Excellent video! About as clear as can be. Love the key icon. These types of videos are insanely useful for me. Please make more videos. You obviously have a great talent for making them.

[derick-smith]

Some of the best 5 minutes a new musician could ever spend on YouTube. Sensational video!

[gerardopujado]

that full chromatic scale from E to E at 4:05 just to find the root... sounded amazing as an intro for that song!

Your channel is helping me grow as a guitarist, brother many thanks.

[donbazarov]

Great tip. Other than playing the full pentatonic scale you can pay attention to the note right bellow the root note. I.e. you found out that 10th fret (D) sounds like a main (root) of the scale. However before you stumbled on 10th fret you've also listened to 8th (C) and 9th (C#) fret. C would be the 7th note in D minor scale, while C# would be the 7th in D major. In other words, if you found your root key, and half step bellow it doesn't sound good - it's probably a minor scale and vice versa. That works if we are not talking about modes ofc

[jesselandreth]

Interesting way of explaining it. I'll definitely be sending this to other guitar friends as I've never been able to explain how I do it.
I do a similar process but usually will just start playing some notes and instantly know what key a song is in based on where the note I played is in the scale. For example if the song is in D and I hit a G note, I will instantly know (from practice) that that G is the IV of the key that the song is in which means the song is in D. And if I hit a note that definitely isn't in the key, I'm only one note away from a "correct" note and can instantly still work it out from there.
Knowing your Roman numerals really helps. If you know it well enough it also means you can easily play chords along with almost any song

[Sasha-jotw]

brother i dont even know what a key is

[zackmano]

Pretty nice description for beginners. Eventually you get to the point where your ears and your hands have the muscle memory to just jump to the key w out you barely thinking about it, but that's easy for me to say bc I've been playing over 30 years. But that started to happen for me about 5-7 years after I began playing.
