Does anyone else run into the problem in music theory that when you learn something it just raises more questions than it answers and you just fall into a deep rabbit hole

[riccardoc]

Nik: Talking about all this complicated stuff

Me: *0-3-5*

[rurrug]

Nik: "Drop whatever you like."
Me: "Drops a guitar."

Sorry I'm late for class. After 20 years of playing, this is essential information for a guy who finally is in a place to learn theory and wants to advance his playing. Thank you, Nik.

You can tell he has dealt with people who don't understand things lol.

[alteredendeavor]

Massive help Nik. You broke it down better than anyone.

[robbiehope]

As someone who has struggled with understanding music theory, I appreciate you explaining it logically, most music teachers jump ahead and start using terms that make things more confusing than it needs to be. I've never understood how to write or perform in key but I had a huge smile on my face even just playing a basic riff in D Minor, could you possibly do a video explaining time signatures too, I feel that topic is very similar to this, easy to understand but explained poorly usually.


Thanks Nik, much love.

I learned more from one Nik video than a full year of guitar class in highschool.

Dude lemme tell you, as a kid who learned to play through metal core. You teaching the Dstring separately was exactly how i learned to write just without any of the note names involved. So you choosing to teach it this way really resonates with me and is much more compatible to my playing style when learning scales. Feel seen af rn thank you.

This, is absolute gold for a beginner. I’ve been playing for about a month or so, just really learning songs and chords without feeling like I’ve learned much. This has basically condensed so much theory for me into the space of less than half an hour. Thanks so much!

[westin]

No Russian accent? Nik is getting serious for us!!

Nik: Its blues it's sounds like blues, continues to shred it in a metal tone.

[TriggerFingerRC]

Bought my first guitar and amp 2 days ago. Definitly will be grinding out for years to come. Always wanted to learn since i was about 7 years old. I'm now 34, better late than never.🤘 thanks Nik!

[SureGibson]

Dude, I’ve seen so many videos on this subject and none of them have ever explained this as well as you have. You’ve made it so simple and easy to grasp. Seriously, thank you.

[ManuelAriasTV]

I found this video around the time it came out and it truly jump started my music theory journey. You explained the fundamentals in a way that feels so deliberately limited, but the subjects and emphasis you leave in are the perfect level technically for mass instruction. You've shaped the foundation of where I'm taking my life. Thank you.

[AlternateNik]

Mate, this is so unbelievably helpful. I've been bullshiting my way through "lead" stuff for years now and just done it by what sounds right, turns out I was playing the minor scale all along. This has opened me up to understanding the entire fretboard and how to access different things in different keys.

More of these types of videos would be amazing!

[smusic]

You'll never know how grateful I am for this video. I've been self teaching myself to play since I was 14 (6 years ago) and I've never been able to understand scales until now. I've watched countless tutorials on it and spent hours on YouTube videos that just talk about exact notes and numbers and it was always too complicated for me, not having a single guitar lesson in my life. I got taught tabs by a school friends older brother and that's what allowed me to learn all of the songs I can play to this day. Finally!! This is so easy and simple to understand and I'm finally progressing for the first time in a couple of years. I'll forever be grateful nik! 🤟❤

[PwnJbbr]

In 20 minutes you just summed up something ive been studying and failing to comprehend for 2 months. Greatly appreciate you.

[prabowonegoro]

Been playing from my elementary school days yet still cannot find easiest way to understand scales and pattern easily. Now u just broke it down for us and i couldn't be more grateful. Youtube is awesome place to learn thing, especially when we have a gud trustworthy guy like you teaching 👍

[khonekt]

this is probably the best intermediate guitar lesson I've ever seen, thank you so much Nik
