The way he talks in this video makes me feel like I'm actually sitting there with him in a class room, while I'm sitting here in my room alone answering "Yes" and "no" to this guy on my screen. Amazing tutorial I honestly cant believe this is free.

[BoiseG]

my quest to find my perfect guitar Sensei is complete.

[marvin-burns]

The smartest scale teaching method I've come across, well done Steve.

[DimiKaye]

5 years later I stumble into this video and the method unlocks and makes clear many things. For a self taught musician like me this was A HUGE help. Thank you!

[eik]

wow, what a great teacher, its just one "aha" moment after another. 10 minutes with you is like 6 months by my self and a book.

[jedlewis]

Learners nowadays are so lucky to have access to this level of quality tuition. I wish I could turn back time.

[savoirfaire]

You, sir, are a VERY good teacher. I took piano lessons for 10 years when I was a kid and no one ever explained this fundamental concept to me (two different teachers). In one fell swoop you have unlocked a mystery that has plagued me for decades. Thank you !

[TysonBowmanMusic]

I love the fact that he is promoting positivity in learning music. He has a lot of patience which is appreciated!

I've been a Bass and Guitar teacher for 26 years. I like instructional videos mostly for different teaching methods. The arrow at 3-4 and 7-8 has made my teaching method so much more understanding. For the rest of you watching, here is proof that there is always something to be learned and it doesn't matter who has the information you receive, just that you receive it.

[chucks]

The Eagle has Landed! Finally, someone explains this in an understandable fashion so it makes sense!! Thank you Steve

[bigjimgtr]

I studied theory in High School and it went right over my head, I’ve been playing guitar in many bands for the last 35 yrs....always memorizing “shapes” . You’re style of teaching is so down to earth and makes so much sense.... but I do know that is due to your own thorough understanding of music and knowing how to simplify these concepts.
Thank You Steve !!!!

[timpike]

Whoa. My mind is blown. I have been playing at guitar for about sixteen years and have probably just quadrupled my music theory knowledge by watching this video! Thanks!

[JohnBarrow]

Bloody brilliant, Steve. In all my years of dabbling in music theory, I've never heard it explained any better or more simply. Instead of just trying to memorize the number of sharps and flats in a given key, I can now figure it out on my own. Thanks!

[peepoop]

I watched this like six months ago and it made so much sense and I'm watching it again today and it is making more and more sense. Thank you Steve. Hopefully I would cry less now

Dear Steve ... I just wanted to compliment you as a guitar teacher. I am an advanced player/theorist but I'm also a guitar junkie ... in other words, I am what the world needs, another damned guitar player! I started watching all the different guitar teachers on YouTube and even though I already 'knew' 99% of what was being taught I got interested in the various approaches that were used to teaching various elements of theory as applied to the guitar fret board. If YouTube had been around when I started to learn guitar, I'd've been a rockstar and dead along time ago ... lol. I stand on the shoulders of giants on most things I 'know', and in the case of guitar and guitar theory, I was taught by one of the best teachers on the planet in the 1980's down in New Orleans, by the great Hank Mackie.
I was watching various 'teachers' on YouTube explaining modes and most of them just seemed to confuse the issue which reminded me of Hank Mackie's first lesson when I eventually got pointed to him by better players than I was back then. I had about every issue of Guitar Player Magazine and I struggled quite often to understand the lessons in the back ... and in particular, at that point in my playing life, what was confusing me was modes and so I had a bunch of vague questions for Hank ... he just said to me, 'Forget all of that man! There's the Major scale, the Pentatonic scale, and maybe a jazz minor, a gypsy minor etc. but that's it. .... all of the modes being just a different starting tonic note in the major scale ... 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc' ... which cleared up a whole bunch of stuff immediately. ... So when I got to you on YouTube when I was watching the confused teaching on modes, that was exactly your approach so I took to you right away. And all the other stuff you teach have that same clear quality to them ... very good man! I pick up stuff from you all the time just because I'm an old retired rock star and am always playing guitar now that I have the time ... (I was an audio engineer for 40 plus years and rarely got to play much because I was recording others etc. I built 3 studios in that time span and so I was really an 'engineer' ... the last one was damned near perfect ... made me smile just walking in ... eventually I didn't even have to check my mixes in the car, on boom boxes because I was so confident of the control room I designed being 'the truth' in what I was hearing).
Anyway ... sorry ... I'm just waffling ... but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your clear, friendly style of teaching ... (I've actually started practicing your lessons on 'speed picking' which is not something I really concentrated on because I'm not a 'shredder') ... I always tell any kid I'm teaching what Hank Mackie taught me and what you mentioned during the beginning lesson ... 'Slow down, the speed will come on its own'.
Really humans can only really concentrate for about 15 minutes maximum so for technique I tell people that ... spend 10 to 15 minutes a day, (usually when you're fresh in the morning), SLOWLY practicing (whatever technique or style you're trying to learn), and making sure your technique is right ... thumb center back, finger per fret etc. and do it as slowly as you can ... 10 to 15 minutes a day, then forget about it and have fun .... amazing ... all things being equal, anyone is just 30 days away from being competent in anything ... not just guitar licks, techniques or styles ...
Thanks again
Richard

[RAMZIAARON]

Best guitar lessons I have ever seen. I have waited longer than I want to admit to learn this stuff but you make it easy at any level of experience. Thanks a million.

[briancrete]

Brilliant lesson. This man was undoubtedly born to teach. Thank you!!!

[Professorjeffsd]

Steve, you are a terrific teacher. I was a trial lawyer and law professor for many years and whether you're teaching a jury or a class, the key is putting yourself in the shoes of the juror or student. Too many YouTube "teachers" are good players but not good teachers because they assume too much of the student's knowledge. You take it step by step and in 'bite size pieces" so the student isn't overwhelmed. I've played a lot of instruments over a lot of years but there's always something new to learn and you are my "go to" guitar guy. My "go to" keyboard guy is Piano Pig. He's worth checking out even if you don't play keyboard because his teaching style is much like yours. I've been sponging off your free lessons but I'm signing up for the paid version. Thank you, brother!

[sevens]

Steve you’re so gifted as a teacher! Pity I’ve only found you after 25 years of floundering on my own ..

[adm]

Totally invaluable lesson - I could never get my head around the scales with the sharps and flats. This video explained it so well... thanx Steve, really appreciate your work.
