For years I struggled understanding how to blend rhythm and lead playing. For me it was always one or the other.. Until a very weird evening helped me view the fretboard in a brand new way..

Thank you David. Another great lesson. I'm so sorry about recent developments. You and your family are in my prayers

[GuitarPlayersFun]

Hey you comedian! 😂 That guitar didn't exist in 1997!
Although nice video👍

[arrondaniels]

I feel like Ralphie in Christmas Story when he waited and waited to decide the message: “A Crummy Commercial!” Got all into your story and the BAM!! - Ad for the guitar! Damn!!! Caught me off guard. Loved the content brother.

last time he said it was a jam with jazz players that made him learn theory now it's lightning

[TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

thank you. I really hope to fully understand my guitar and the notes. I am trying. picked up in 2019 and man its been back and forth and putting it down and picking it back up.

Great video David! Super helpful! Good story line!

[jebsherrill]

David, thank you. This video really spoke to me and it feels good to know I’m not the only struggling with understanding music. Making the bridge between chords and scales is very hard for me, but this gives me some useful clues.

[howardcoleman]

howie here like my friend allways said make it simple and when you dont now what to play dont because a note wrong is worse than nothing at all music is great for you and others

[LitlPixi]

I’m at the point now. I can learn & play any tablature I want but that keeps me locked inside a box of restriction. Got myself a mentor for weekly lessons and some Guitar Head books (the scale workshop & the chord bible, highly recommended) and things have finally begun to clicking into place in terms of unlocking the fretboard.

Constantly have to remind myself how important ear training is. Restarted on piano at the same time and it’s fun to make the correlations.

I came across your channel very recently and want to say how much I like the way you explain from a visual perspective. I have been a frustrated beginner for 40 years and theory, chord charts, etc drive me nuts. I want to feel not think when I play. Sure, practice and repetition builds muscle memory but I learn better when I can visualize pieces and parts coming together. Maybe this sounds crazy but I can feel it when I see it.

Some of that sounded like Chinese to me

I've gotten this far on guitar without paying a dime. I'll be damned if i'm gonna start paying now.
And really? Youtube ad revenue isn't enough. Youtube ad revenue is huge.
I wish I had some Youtube ad revenue coming in.
Oh well, I guess I'll look for one of the other online teachers of which there are thousands that are satisfied with the ad revenue.
Again, Youtube revenue is huge so there is no way your geting huge revenue off your sales pitch THEN charge me $67.
How about "you owe me" for wasting 8 minutes of my time!
