This has helped me understand what i do and why it works. You and Jens Larsen are the two best at this that I have found on youtube.

It's fantastic for the synapses going through this with guitar in hand and falling so far behind you, but knowing that I'm close to understanding and being able to apply all this with just a bit more study. New doors, flying open all around me. What a gas!

Such beautiful sounds, opens up whats been unseen.

Amazing lesson. This was very informative and helpful. All the magic while soloing over a major 251 progression happens generally over the 5 chord.

You are a great player and teacher. I joined TrueFire for your course. Thanks for all the lessons her on YouTube!!

This was at a perfect level for me to run with. Now to be able to quickly identify the upper inversion color when I'm not in the key of C 🙂 As you said, drop the root and build on the 3rd. For II (Dm7)->3rd(FM7). For V (G7)->3rd (Bdim). For I (CM7)-> 3rd (Em). This has been a big jump in my progression. Thank you so much. Great Videos.

First to comment on your fantastic new blues rhythm TrueFire course, bud!! Here's my comment: This gem of a rhythm course already has me upping my rhythm playing game! Jack Ruch delivers all sorts of phenomenal concepts to our regular rhythm jamming with fun tweaks and concepts that immediately impress and sometimes aches my fretting hand (but in a great, positive way!). Absolutely worth every penny and I feel like I'm one on one in a studio room with Jack giving me careful lessons that shall last me a lifetime!! Next level material for me and I will eagerly await Mr. Ruch's future and soloing! Jim C.

Thank you for helping me sound less boring less crummy and lackluster! 🎸👍🎸👍🎸

you are the best teacher ever regards Roffe from sweden

[jeffreyreid]

A lot to digest here I see myself coming back to this one several times over the next year. Thanks

[RayMancha]

Thank you Jack! for all your inspiring videos.
There's teachers that can play great, but lack as teachers.
And then there's the very few great guitarist like you Jack that can actually teach at the highest true fire🔥 level as well.
Wish you all the best!

Thank you so much. This is such an invaluable lesson. I got stuck in simple 1-3-5-7….etc Arpegios for quiet a while and have been looking for a way break away from those…this lesson has opened up some new doors! Cheers

[miguelsassot]

Thx for this…I get to understand stuff that otherwise I would still be wondering about. Hoping to keep connecting the dots. Go on and thx again!❤
