Before you will understand the guitar, you have to understand MUSIC. Music is a language. It has an ALPHABET and 6 parts of speech. You'll learn about all of it here in Lesson 1. Make sure you watch our 32 video lessons IN ORDER.
Cant pull away from his video. Something Bob Ross "esque" about his teaching style. I like it. Points out the truths that usually go ignored for far too long.
Yup. Reddit. And I don't even use Reddit. Can't remember how I stumbled across the thread... I love the old school quality, so refreshing. Like watching a sitcom from the 70's that went at a slower, relaxed pace and didn't give you a heart attack from the over the top speed, overly dramatic acting, and constant high pace camera cuts and graphics.
I'm on lesson 19 now, half way, for all those people here who are here wondering if this course is worth the time investment. Holy shit, it totally is. I cannot stress how much this program has taught me about music. Lights are still turning on.
@@cmhrbskndgstirmknslbrdygua5777 I knew nothing about music before trying this course. So I learned lots of things. The thing that sticks out the most is how effectively he simplifies the complexity of the whole topic of music. The use of music by numbers simplifies everything. Rather than learning each scale and each chord in isolation, you learn the fingerings of the major diatonic and all the other scales, modes and chords are just offsets of that one unifying scale. Like how a Lydian mode is just a major scale except with a #4. So you can easily adjust from the major scale fingering by knowing the interval fingering pattern. There's a lot more in here. I cannot do the whole course justice in a paragraph, it's amazing if you stick through it. Now I mainly have to practice to get my fingers to catch up with my theoretical knowledge.
I went to the website and bought the book and study materials and i gotta say, that has to be the best value on the internet. Not only is there new material I have never seen and new ways of presenting the material but everything else you could imagine regarding guitar. This is exactly what I needed.
Been playing guitar for 10 years since I was 13, checking this out to see how valid the information given was. I adore this. No misses whatsoever. Excellent and refined thinking about music, learning, and the nature of the guitar coming from an obviously great amount of reflection. This is should be the default for anyone learning
Thank you for giving this to all of us! I will buy your book, and listen to all the videos. Your course is have a Renaissance on Reddit and more people will be coming here! I really enjoy your presentation style and the comprehensive approach that goes step-by-step! BRAVO!!!
I picked up my first guitar at 18 years old. Spent years self learning with internet tabs and tab books of favorite bands. Got to the point that I realized the tab books were wrong and that I don't know what the hell I'm doing even though I could copy metal solos and entire songs. I couldn't even jam along with friends let alone hear a song and play along. Grew up hating music theory from a traumatic childhood piano learning experience where my parents forced me to learn it. I'm glad I came across your youtube channel and I will be devouring this material.
If you dedicate the time, you will get there. Understanding the circles of 4th/5ths and knowing the patterns, you’ll be able to figure out any song, especially pop music.
Also here from reddit 😂 long live reddit Also I really like this man and the way he teaches. Will watch the whole series thank you to the person who uploaded thid
Thanks for sharing. Im only getting back into music. I started learning about the 12 keys and number systems on the keyboard and now here i am going back to basics lol I really like the way you explain things. It's easy to digest, you make it sound like fun and now im looking forward to watch the rest of the series and many more valuable tips and wisdom. Thanks again and i look forward to checking out more videos :) Hi from NZ - Marie
I found you via Reddit this morning. I'm going to dive in. Seems you get it. If you monitor these at all, it seems your website is really Facebook? I need to join Facebook to get the book? Thanks!
This is good, but it’s also an accurate a little bit biased, Mike Stern is not better than Jimi Hendrix. Eddie Van Halen did more for the electric guitar in the last 50 years than anybody else so well Joe passes incredible. He’s not better than Eddie Van Halen in a real sense.
So, you are saying he took all this time and effort to give us 32 hours full of information for free and he should have done it in 31 hours? I've gotten good information in the first five minutes.
