How to Connect Guitar Chords with Scales 

This guy seriously needs more subscribers. One of the greatest teachers on RU-vid.

I feel like what sets this apart from other you tube lessons is that he is very good at explaining himself, where most people just say "this is how its done" but don't either understand or explain the "why" like Sean does. Excellent!

Just came across your channel, newer guitar player here, 8months or so, and I've been trying to figure out how to apply scales, and after asking an instructor several times with no luck, I stopped bothering with lessons. This is exactly what i was looking for. This will give all those basic chords the flourish I've been needing on songs. Thank you.

With these videos and my neighbors pounding on the walls it feels like I'm starting my own band! Keep em coming!

Omg, I feel like my entire guitar playing has been unlocked and upgraded from this video, your channel is amazing. I'm learning guitar now and the content on your channel is just perfect. I'm taking the approach of acquiring the proper fundamentals instead of just learning songs and you offer that in amazing way. Thanks a lot!

Man this lesson of yours is an absolute treasure for any guitar enthusiasist. Today I understood the importance of scales. With this now I can take my guitar practice to the next level. Thank you so much mate. You just earned a subscriber🤗

What a great lesson! It seems obvious now that you have explained it, but I never got it before. You are such a good teacher.

OMG!!! I have had such a hard time understanding guitar scales until I found you. You make learning so easy and interesting. I learned the blues scale in box form last night and couldn't put down my guitar. And you teach FULL lessons. You don't give me a teaser and then want me to pay for your online lessons. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Keep those lessons coming.

I have been listening off and on today. Dude, you are good ! I've been playing for years and gotten modestly good . Anyone that can play guitar can hear that special talent. Love it !

found this to be super helpful for chord progressions. it adds little flair to the changes in the chords. I love your work you've helped me learned so much with just one video! I can't wait to see more!

Almost 4yrs later and still one of the better videos out there. Thanks!

Reading the comments, I noticed that you answer questions, and thank people. You're one of few that I've seen on RU-vid that takes the time to do this. That added to the amazing teaching style you bring is incredible. Thank You for all you do...

Dude you're seriously the best guitar teacher on youtube, I wish you all the best for all the great stuff you've been doing.

SINCERLY, THIS IS USEFUL. NOT THOSE BULLSHITT YOU SEE IN RU-vid. THIS. PLEASE, DO MORE OF THIS. THIS.

These videos are awesome…there’s a million ways to learn theory but this is by far the easiest and most interesting to do soo! I literally can’t stop clicking the next videos that pop up… God bless you Sean and may your shower water never run cold…🙏

This has been one of the most helpful lessons I’ve had, man. Thank you!

Been playing for about a year now and learning by watching youtube videos.. and felt like I was at a point stuck progressing forward, and I must say.. excellent video, very clearly explained difficult concepts I'm sure.. and I'm now excited to continue working at this and further progressing. Thank you.

You are An enlightened being my friend. Everytime I want to learn something new I start checking your videos. Thanks a lot for posting such important knowledge online.

This is an amazing application for my scales. I'm currently learning my scale, and now I know how to apply them :)

Excellent video on connecting chords with scales, probably the best explanation of how this works and why you should do it

wow Sean.....you're the best.......I can't recall a single instructor making this concept so easy and fun.....great stuff man ;-)

An excellent video, not only technical but also how to practice and make the experience interesting. Thank you.

Explaining + usage = great teacher! You are deserving more folowers! I can understand now, how scales and chords are coming together, i really struggled with that and i didnt find the answer till now, thank you sir!

Super useful tips!!! Thank very you for taking tour time with this.

Omg Sean, this is brilliant! I have so much more to experiment with now. You're such a good teacher!

This is one of the most useful guitar lessons on the whole damn internet, Sean. Thanks!

Keep these videos going... you have enlightened me after years in darkness, thanks mate.

Excellent resource. Have been back to this so many times and really amplifies my playing! Thank you

Sean has been sent to us from guitar Heaven! You rock man!

super stuff sean..very useful very informative..i am sure this gonna add a lot of flavor to my playing..thanks mate

You are filling the gaps! This is probably the most straight forward lesson I've ever come across! And I've seen quite a lot … brillant! Thanks!

Pff hearing that explanation is just mind blowing i've been through so many videos on RU-vid trying to memorize the hundreds of chords. But just seeing you working on the first 3-4 tabs and make such a nice music, Is just amazing, I guess i'll need to spend a bit more time to learn that theory.

Man I needed this! I was stuck on plateau with my playing. Thank you!!!

Wow music theory always seemed difficult whenever I tried to learn it, I knew my scales but only the shapes really and kinda what sounded good or cool in them. I have watched four of your videos and everything just clicked! Seriously good job you could make a living doing this.

Sean, Stich and Steve Stein. The best guitar instructors on youtube.

What an amazing tutorial, thank you! I've been learning all of these scales and I had no idea what to do with them, I just knew I needed to learn them at some point. Now, I know how to connect them....THANK YOU! Subscribed.

Fellow your a great teacher and hilarious. I appreciate that; way to keep making awesome videos!

So many teachers do not know how to answer this question. It took me forever to figure it out . Where the hell were you when I needed you. Oh that's right not born yet...Lol... Great lessons and quick answers and thank god you are correctly microphoned up so I can here what you are saying. I have subscribed so I can now teach my teacher what I pay him for.

Sean you are amazing guitar teacher and coach. I love the way you coach in relaxed mood.

Hey, I have been playing guitar since I was 13, I taught myself everything i know, which basically consists of me playing basic chords like, G, C, D, Dm, Bm, A, Am, E, Em... that's about it. I was looking at your channel, and you teach amazingly, but it all goes over my head, I think I'm watching your videos out of order or there is just a brick wall that I have hit with my guitar skills. I haven't been able to break it or get past just playing basic chords. I'm just trying to figure out my next step or few. Thank you.

dude, you describe and show it so well thanks!

Good video. Great conversational style of teaching!

Sometimes too much information is a hinder to learning how to play the guitar, but you explain it in clear instructions.

I wish that I would have found this channel two years ago when I began playing. Best teacher on youtube I have seen. i have learned so much here!

man i really appreciate it man..jst love it!!!!

Really useful...thx.

The video is great! Finally someone who gets to the point and knows what they are talking about. I only wish it was explained a little slower, but other than that, I cannot complain. Thanks!

Sean you’re a great teacher always learn so much!

This is one of the most astonishing things I've learned on. I never understood how, why, and what this meant. It opened up so much for me. This tells you how to go from hitting random notes to entering the sea of theory and making really good peices of music. Fill, Riffs, etc.

Cool lesson, new player, never seen anyone teach how to connect chords with scale notes. Subbed.

Enjoyed your lesson. Incredible and creative ideas to expand my playing.

Tremendous lesson, thank you! You are one of the best teachers on RU-vid!

You're the best man!

Great video... Funny as hell this guy talks like James Hetfield sings.. "Check out these chords-zaah... With these shapes-zaah... Do it like this-zaah" Great-aaah! Lol

For me, this has been such a block for such a long time. Your videos are so liberating, I can't thank you enough! It's like I knew these concepts but I needed someone to walk me through weaving them together! P.S. reposting this comment because I had mistakenly left it on another video

Excellent sounding guitar that looks _awesome_ !! One of the best looking guitars I've ever seen.

once eye got past your extra-diction lol very helpful and well played out

Fucking brilliant. Keep em coming!

Great lesson. Thankyou ever so much Sean.

I am one year in learning guitar and sometimes I find milestone where some secret, that change the game, appears. This is exactly that place again! Thanks for explaining. I really did not understand what are scales good for and this makes so much sense… like how I did not think about this before? Well, we all are learning whole life, aint, we? Thanks for your amazing job. :-)

Yeah you are one of those too rare teachers that doles out bundles of top class theory with practice at same time...interesting fast paced and not spending 20 mins explaining a D chord. Mint

I really liked the craigslist analogy

WOW what a lesson! Thanks a lot for this video! From scales to actually MUSIC 🎵🎶

I have spent billions of gigabytes searching for the right lesson and right teacher....my gigabytes did not go to waste I can tell you! You're awesome! God bless man!

so what you are saying is that you can use the scale of the key you are in to connect the chords that are in the same key

Sean: "So, I guess kind of think like a bass player. Actually, I take that back. Never ever think like a bass player." Davie504: "How dare you say that! I will call the police!" Sean: "Go ahead. They will never believe you."

Unbelievable! I could sit there for hours listening to changing chords. I have to learn this! Already doing your triplets from other video. Thank you!

Amazing video. Yesterday I was learning the major scale and I was wondering about the different ways that I could play around with it and this morning your video pops up. Very impressive and so easy to follow. I'm looking forward to learning more from you

I love the way he speaks. "scalesu", "hearu", so cute

Make me your student☺️

sean, samurai guitarist, tyler and rabea are my top guitar channels here on youtube. very helpful.

Great stuff man. Been playing for years and hit a plateau awhile back. Not anymore! You and ian have instantly won me over. You always have great demonstrations after each section of teaching which makes it easy to follow. Best on the web! Please keep passing on the knowledge. Wish u guys the best.

Hey! Dude just go slow, why are you trying to run? Want to catch train?

Thank you so much!!! Perfect explanation.

Best connectivity video I’ve seen yet. Very nice

One of the best lesson videos I've ever watched. Great job man!

I was thinking about that, since I'm a beginner and I'm teaching myself through the internet I was wondering how to find a way to make my playing more interesting, I knew how to do some things with the D, G, C,Am and a couple of other chords, but now I know what I'd been doing, THANKS MAN!! You kind of threw me in the intermediate zone, I can do bar chords just fine and I know a couple of scales and I've been playing for five months, my biggest improvements have been the last three weeks :) I'm getting a huge confidence boost at the moment thanks to you and a couple other people on youtube :)

This is exactly what I am trying to learn. Very clear/ simplified explanation. Thanks.

The most useful youtube guitar teacher online. Self taught (youtube taught) since 2006. He is the best I've seen.

Man you are actually making things easy. So helpful 🔥🔥🔥👌👍

Wow, this is the video I've been looking for. BIG LIKE, bro, amazing! Keep the good work!

Fab Daniel thank you again for another amazing help on just about getting there 👊👊👊👊

Just plain like this guy. Listened to others and, ug. Sean is just laid back and comfortable to listen to. Thanks Sean!

Very detailed and precise, cheers

I do like your lessons, thanks you, you have really helped a lot. I also think the way you say certain words like “chordza” reminds me of the Joker “why so serioussa” love it, keep it going 🎸🎸.

Gleaming video, answered a lot of questions I’ve had for a while.

that was an awesome lesson, my mind opened up some more. thanks for sharing and making it so simple

Love your every lesson man!!

Awesome videos! Thanks for sharing!!!

Loved this one Sean....!

Does anyone else feel like they understand the first 60% of the video, and then get overwhelmed by how Sean freestyles so effortlessly? I find this pattern in all his videos 😔😣

I haven't seen a vid about connecting chords and scales as helpful as this one. Thanks dude!
