This stuff is gold. I've been struggling, trying to figure out Music theory and how all these chords come together to make songs, why you play chords the way you do. Your explanation of how a chord is actually made up just unlocked it for me. Thank you! Love this channel. Keep up the good work Kevin

Hello there! I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for your course. I recently rediscovered my electric guitar, a cherished gift from my 16th birthday, after it had been tucked away in the attic. In the past, I attempted to learn on my own twice, but regrettably, I couldn't achieve the desired progress. The process felt overwhelming, and I struggled with knowing what to focus on during practice sessions. However, your course has been a game-changer for me! Your explanations are simply fantastic, and the roadmap you've provided is incredibly helpful. I can now approach learning with clarity and purpose. I'm genuinely enjoying the journey and feel motivated to stick to it this time, now that I'm 31 years old. Thank you so much for creating such an enriching and inspiring learning resource! I'm optimistic that this time, I will succeed with your guidance.

I'd just like to say how helpful even this tiny amount of "theory" towards the end helps, and I can't believe that so many other sources don't mention anything about it at all. Even just the very fundamental information that each basic open chord is made essentially by getting each string to produce one of either the 1st 3rd or 5th note in that scale flipped a lightswitch that made so many things make intuitive sense that I had just been trying to memorize up to this point.

Really good content. I've written your 0-6 guide down in a notebook. I would like to see the focus on the basic theory continue in future videos; it makes guitar (and music generally) much less opaic for beginners like myself.

Never wanted to learn an easier version of any chord espcially the F chord or any barre chord. If u keep at it your hand, fingers will make the chords. you have to strengthen ,stretch them out I remember playing an F chord right the first time and then a C chord and how beautiful those 2 chords sound together. Love your videos ❤

I’ve been a band kid since middle school all the way up to spending about a year and a half of college studying music education. I have a solid understanding of most of the major (pun intended) concepts of music theory and can play a bunch of different wind instruments and even played in my high school’s percussion ensemble for a year, but for whatever reason I’ve had this strange perception about guitar. I used to think of chords on a guitar as being somehow different than on an instrument like a piano or in ensemble settings, something about the image of the different hand shapes moving around the neck made it seem more like a naruto character powering up than music theory. it wasn’t until when I got my first guitar (a secondhand Gibson maestro I got off Facebook marketplace) and I watched this video that I had the dullest lightbulb moment of “oh yeah music theory applies to guitar.” It sounds stupid but you just reminding me that music theory exists just made it 100x easier to understand how the hand shapes and distance between frets relate to the intervals. TL;DR Forgot guitars made music and therefore fell within the purview of music theory. Give this guy a sub if you haven’t.

If you got large hands its possible to use your thumb to mute the low E string and the A string. It helps if you orientate your hand a bit more perpendicular to the neck and use your pinky to fret the B string instead of your ring finger.

Started learning @ 7-8 weeks ago so just about getting the hang of the majors. I found a nifty way to help develop the strumming mind/skillset is to focus on one of your favourite songs, imagine a different favourite artiste/band/singer having a go & try to emulate that. At present, I'm going with my version of my version of Johnny Cashs version of Pink Floyds ‘Money’ - “….. Don't give me no do-goody-good Bullsh^t, Son...." strummy strummy. Try it - it's spectacularly great fun! NEXT - Deano does 'Rock Lobster'..... Happy strummin’.
