I should re-estimate my level of theory knowledge

[Gongasoso]

MOAR PLEASE!
This is the kind of theory stuff I'm always trying to find around!

[whiskyjohnny]

Am I the only one who would love a sensei lesson about japanese music/scales?

[jcookonbass]

The Bb over a G7 chord is implying a #9, similar to your man-bun implying 16th century over a 21st century media platform.

Im so happy that my guitar teacher has already teached me most of the stuff you show here in just a few classes (8 or 10). Makes me feel I'm with the right person, because it's really interesting and usefull theory, and I see the apreciation of it here in the coments, by the way, you explained it very well.

[justhungry]

It's weird how about 30% of my focus is on your right bicep.

[ChrisTheContagion]

5:46 the explanation in Jazz would be that you're spelling the chord as a G7#9, but in practice you'd be correct in simply calling it a tension as the Bb would often resolve to the B in blues and rock.

Your content is so unique and brilliant. Keep it up.

[willemsgrahpics]

I’ve been self taught for about 15 years and while I know most of this stuff I absolutely loved the video and subscribed to your channel.

[Cantique_]

I feel so proud of myself that I understood everything

[daleonov]

Just learned about tritone substitution today at school while studying autumn leaves. Really like how it works.
Great video!

[RemyTrahant]

This is great! I was searching for advanced music theory and this is just about where I am at with my understanding, a perfect entry point for the next level!

[LL-vybj]

Nice to see a guitar channel on youtube that actually talks about music theory and tools for playing rather than what pedals you should buy or what the top ten guitar riffs are, you keep it up man!

[Jaspertine]

I'm familiar with the 50 R&R Minor Chord, but I always called it "The Creep Chord." You know, from that Radiohead song.

[zacharyjones]

Dang dude you were vibing. I followed you through the first three lessons then I cought myself starting to dream up ideas about the first 3 lessons and zoned out to the rest! So much respect for the creativity and information you are passing along. Video saved for later so I can revisit the rest of the lesson 😅. Thank you for your insights, incredibly intriguing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[Coffeewasagoodidea]

2 semesters of Jazz theory in a 9 and half minute video. Really liked your approach on the bebop lines. It's so clear now!

[slclemens]

This is the kind of amazing video I feel lucky to find on rare occasions! This is really great and put me back on track to understanding some things I've been struggling with for a while.

[Boogaloogian]

I've been playing guitar on and off for about 11 years ( got my first guitar for my 10th birthday), and I notice that a lot of the basics of theory I know subconsciously just from playing around and jamming music I enjoy. I can tell that theory is a different kind of beast and will take a long time to master, so far it's a much harder study than finance and stock trading was for me... Your videos are a great learning tool and I'll be recommending you to others interested in learning music theory. :)

[bleachtoast]

My old music teacher passed away last week, he taught me almost everything I know about music theory. he said the same thing about don't worry about taking this in all in one time. but this video was the refresh for my brain that now it's coming to me all the things he taught.

[franciscotrono]

Great video! Love the samurai philosophy parallel to guitar and music. These are really the roots to music theory in application that I have found practical in playing and helped me significantly as a musician.
