Man, in a world absolutely full of hacks posting hack videos for the uneducated, this is a total breath of fresh air- someone who speaks the prerequisite language of music and conveys the concepts precisely and without frills- thank you for this. Subscribed 🙏

So nice to hear a guitar player aiming to play music rather than show off their chops. Magic.

This is an absolutely brilliant lesson. I have been playing guitar for 45 years, and Jack's teaching crystallizes things I sort of knew but didn't really understand.

[MrSonicAlchemy]

Easily the best music theory videos for guitar I have ever seen. Your playing is super tasteful too. Thanks for all you do. You rock brother!

[StuartwasDrinkell]

[Ganzie]

I have see a million an d one lessons on guitar and i can safely say you're in the top tier. You got a fan and a supporter. Thanks for your efforts.

[thomasmartinscott]

I love the intro! I came back to it after the video finished. Absolutely Beautiful playing! Great Lesson, too. Thank You.

[YourNextMistake]

In my opinion you do the best guitar learning videos on the whole internet.. 1000 thanks for what and how you do 🎸❤️

Thanks Jack, for a music tutorial that shows one of the lost "secrets and devices" that all the great 30's, 40s and 50's songwriters employed. This is one of the reasons those tunes are called "standards" today.

[chrisparkin]

So clear. So succinct. So useful. You are an excellent teacher, mate.

[philippvonbuch]

Watching your content make me wanna quit my job and start a full time career as your student . It is amazing how on point you are and how well it enters my brain without getting stucked ! It´s like guitar yoga! Keep the good work!

[PatP]

What an amazing tutorial, so clear and on point - it doesn't get any better than this. Your way of showing how to immediately apply that stuff in musical context is fantastic. Your way of showing and demonstrating it makes music theory real fun. So much that I'd love to see a complete course on applied music theory from you in the future ;-) Thanks so much Jack!

[Penfold__]

Such a great way to explain secondary doms - well done.

[Guitarmadme]

Jack your playing is beautiful to my ears...such a great teacher and player. 🎸

[philthekiwi]

[musicjunkiek]

Wow Jack, you've changed my musical life. If you lived locally I'd love to take lessons directly from you. Great work!

[gtrjay]

Jack you have a great way of laying this stuff out where it is easily understandable. Thanks!🙏😷🎵🎶👀❗

[christianpacode]

This man just blessed me with the knowledge in this video 😭 God bless you! Thank you so much!

[josev]

I have understood more here in twenty minutes than in two years. Patreon is worth it. Thanks mate

[bluescanfly]

i'd imagine that's how great military leaders / tacticians sounded like when they took the high ground and were able to see and command the entire battlefield. Totally relaxed, yet aware, confident and humble. Their victory, after all, already assured. They were dominant, but considered themselves secondary to the benefit of the song, the student, the mission. Masterful.
