This was one of the best lessons I've come across in my 10 year learning period!

This is the most Criminally Underrated guitar channel available. Very tasty licks by the way.

[conceptcurator]

I honestly believe you are the very best virtual guitar instructor there is. Hands down the most digestible videos out there.

Watched alot of FretJam and have learned different insights into the fretboard others don't provide.

[wariowario]

Any day fretjam uploads a video is a good day, a lot more stuff to look at and study. I love it!! Ty

[shrednoob]

This chanel is really helpful for someone self taugh like me.

I was literally stuck in my guitar journey. I know chords and scales and how they intertwine, but when I improv, I am either playing scale or chord exclusively. I wanted a way to have seamless transitions between the two modes of playing... and thank heavens, this video popped up on my youtube :)

Thank you!

Learning through animation is much easy to understand what's actually going on there

By far the best lessons on you tube. I've been playing for over 40 years and learn something new each time

[llwonder]

This is the lesson I’ve always needed but never had. Thanks.

[teachmeguitar]

This is great info for me. Thanks a ton. I really respect that you teach what every other youtube teacher puts behind a paywall. Greatly appreciated.

[peterbarnes]

These lessons are so insightful, clear, well structured. This one especially has made sense of what I’ve being trying to grasp and put into practice regarding triads. And he thanks us for our time and patience ...

[acen]

it's insane how dense this lesson is with content, all easily understandable and it's FREE

[greecemathapamagar]

So happy, u uploaded. Fret jam it's where I learned guitar, thanks a lot. Can you please make a lesson on how diminished and minor scales are derived from the major scale and how to extract chords from these scales.

[bassorbass]

By far the best guitar teacher on YouTube. I’m a bassist that is jumping into guitar and your lessons are invaluable. Great content!

[renardojones]

this lesson is one of the most useful 12 minutes of my guitar life. Have always wanted to know how to do that and this definitely provides the base for that knowledge. well done

Your videos are the most helpful with anything guitar related. The quality and production of them is incomparable, and always provide hours and hours of things I can practice (and just having a lot of fun) for me. Recently I've been trying to understand chord melody and wasn't going anywhere but after this video I finally feel like I have something that I can start on!!!! I just want to finish this by saying I'm extremely grateful for the lessons you put out. They've been the backbone of learning things since I started playing, and I wouldn't know as much as I do now without them. Thank you for helping ignite a burning passion for playing the guitar, and for helping me really learn how to express my self and my feelings. I appreciate every single thing that you do for your videos. Thank
