The flow of the video, speaking, and musical examples is unmatched in quality and ease of following along

[nerad]

Now this I can remember. Memorizing all the other positions of all arpeggios is daunting to say the least

[jimk]

These are some of the clearest, and best guitar lessons online. Well done!

A thumbs up for having the creativity to make sure the 'backing music' actually applied to the material being covered... bravo.
Great idea too!

I can’t express my gratitude enough for your excellent skills in patient, simple tutorials and FANTASTIC GRAPHIC ARTS! Other tutorials have offered the same truths yet you took the time to make a visual aide. I am a visual learner so I can take a snap shot of your visuals and store them for a refresher when I need a reminder. I am 67 years old and only in the last two months have I learned to play the guitar to a level that pleases my ear and heart. I have been trying since age 15! Yet you are the only one that has helped me sound better than an 8 year old.
Thanks again for taking the time to “teach an old dog new tricks”.

I would combine the triad shapes with the perspective that extended chords (like 7s) are adding thirds above the base triad. Example: a major triad (C E G) has a major third (C E) below a minor third (E G). Cmaj7 (C E G B) adds a major third on top (G B). Changing the higher interval to a minor third (C E G Bb) would create a dominant chord C7. So I'm combining intervals to create a huge variety of chords. For the arpeggios in this video there are only two intervals: major and minor thirds. Memorize finding M3 or m3 on the same string or adjacent string. Mix and match for major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths.

You are a great teacher your graphics are beautiful and easy to read I have learned so much from watching your program I have seen thousands of videos yours is number one

[mellowjim]

Knowing the 3, 5, and 7 interval positions in relation to the tonic is very helpful.

[superzombie]

Wow, I wish I had something like this when I was first learning guitar, great work!!

[felixarmandoocampoluces]

Why was I missing this content? You teach in ways that can be applied immediately. You make theory make sense, thank you so much!

[andypearce]

Thank you. This makes more sense to me than anything I've heard on he subject.

[DC-eivl]

Clear and to the point without unnecessary rambling to extend the video. Extremely well done!

[karstux]

I'm a huge fan of useful simplifications. This is a great way to construct arpeggios.

[DragisaBoca]

An absolutely brilliant approach... I would never think to start from the 7th but yes, this solves so much!

[sanjeevjalui]

Wonderful teaching for slow learner's like myself 🙏

[thomasmartinscott]

Very clearly and understandably Presented. Thank You!

[charlesmerfeld]

This going to make me sound great thanks.

[redpillpusher]

best explanation of arps I've run into yet and I watched a lot of other ones over the past few months.

[balbino]

Thank you very much!
Very very very very good!

Thanks a lot man - woah. I been trying to memorize all the major arpeggios by memory. In the major key. Your ascending pattern made it all click. easy mode
