Sorry for the multiple repeat uploads of this lesson! There were a couple errors I had to fix. See what you can put together using this simple C# minor - A - E (vi-IV-I) chord progression. It's great to learn to play it like John, but it's even better to then try to expand on it, or reinterpret it, and make something a little different that's unique to you! Please also let me know what future lessons you'd like to see. Here's the chapters....

I must say I absolutely love your animations after learning CAGED this just makes so much sense to visualize what players are thinking when they are playing! That’s the missing link I’ve always struggled with and it’s just amazing and thank you so much for the work you put into this! 🤩

[braddaddis]

This channel is new to me and friggin amazing. Having the fretboard their and reverse engineering… well, nothing could be more beneficial.

As a lefty, it can be very challenging following along because I'm always trying to create something different (in real time) in my mind than what is being presented. I find your teaching more helpful than most and just wanted to say thanks for sharing. Subscribed from a slow learner, lefty

[davidlegalley]

Another Great lesson! I really appreciate the 'fret live' animation in these lessons as well as your relating the notes back to the chord shape and/or Pentatonic positions where they are found 👍🏾👍🏼🎯❗Thank you❗

Your videos and the way you teach online is extremely helpful.

[lixu]

Your course is really wonderful, which is very helpful for us who live in small cities who can't get high-quality music education resources to learn music and guitar playing. Thank you for your work.😄

Songs like this and Gravity are amazing canvases to learn from and create variations of. Those animations are pretty damn cool.
