[Topdoginuk]

@skizza83 Thank you!

[Topdoginuk]

@xincheng12138 Thank you! 

[MrMultiJoe]

im going to try and follow these lessons with a bass guitar. would that be a good idea?

[AlexanderofCydonia]

@MrMultiJoe

Yes

[Topdoginuk]

@Saint305XL Thank you! I hope you can build your music knowledge base by a combination of videos. My theory ones are a bit boring so, look at at the links on my profile page for further variety esp, Defsharps. Cheers.

Tony ;)

[ElwoodSharit]

But I still froze, when I saw the ghost.

[ctguy1955]

I look forward to watching more of your teaching videos......I only watched part of this and I am already excited about learning more from you !

[Topdoginuk]

@ctguy1955 Thank you. The lessons can get a bit boring so, mix 'em with other lessons of a practical nature. Try the links on my profile page to Justin or Marty etc. they have some great song lessons. In the meantime I wish you luck on your music journey and if I can be of help, just drop me a message and I'll get back to 'ya.

Cheers. Tony ;)

[doug44292]

Wow.I didn't think I would learn theory until now.So simple and easy to understand.I'm surprised this video doesn't have more views.

[Topdoginuk]

@doug44292 There has been a lot of snobbery and withholding simple methods of teaching music theory over the years. I decided to unravel it and present it to all abilities and ages. They can be a bit boring but, you only have to learn it once and use it as reference. I hope they help further your music journey and, thank you for taking the time to compliment. Tony ;)

[MegaLolburger]

Thanks for this. I've been playing guitar for quite some time, but I never bothered to learn theory.

[Topdoginuk]

@MegaLolburger Thank you for your comment. I'm very pleased my videos have helped you to branch out further into music theory. Good luck on your journey and if I can be of further help, just drop me message.

[Diabolicaloneify]

I've always wanted to know how the keys on a keyboard corresponded to the frets of the guitar Your music theory lessons have proved to be invaluable in my pursuit of making & creating music! Thanks for sharing! I was wondering have you posted any more videos beyond lesson 30? Because i could not find them Thanks!

[Topdoginuk]

@Diabolicaloneify Thank you for your kind words. I'm very pleased you have derived some benefit from my videos. I didn't continue with the lessons beyond 30. I've loaded others recently that should be of interest. They are more compact. Hope you like 'em.

[hasitha17]

I've been struggling with theory a lot. Thanks to your videos now its all becoming crystal clear. You are a really good teacher.. Thanks a lot.

[FanSlash00]

oh theory,theory u're sooo important

[ljohank]

This is a really excellent series!

I've learned tons of stuff. :)

best regards,

Johan

[Topdoginuk]

@ljohank Thank you for your kind words. I set the lessons deliberately slow and step by step so they appealed to all learning levels. I'm very pleased you've derived some benefit from them so far. I wish you good luck on your musical journey. Take a look at AaronGuitarLessons link on my channel for my recommendations of a great teacher you may further and enhance your skills. Let me know how 'ya get on.

Tony ;)

[lvKremate]

can somebody try to learn music theory before, they actually know how to play an instrument?

[Topdoginuk]

@lvKremate Yeah, of course they can. It's a great subject all of itself. Teachers end up doing more theory than practical with students!

Thanks for question.

[lvKremate]

@Topdoginuk thank you very much, i'm taking music theory next year and i'm worried because i don't know how to play an instrument. and thanks for these videos it gives me a heads up on whats going to be on there

[tpmbe]

well done for taking the time to develop these lessons, ive read a lot of books and always find gaps but your teaching is good, its helping me by hearing a real teacher explain..... Thanks !!!

[Topdoginuk]

@tpmbe Thank you for your kind words! I'm very pleased you are deriving some usefulness from my vids. Keep up the great journey. Tony ;)

[DudeTheBitchSlayerrr]

Congrats, professor! You're almost at 10,000 views!

[Topdoginuk]

@DudeTheBitchSlayerrr Thank you! I've just past it and, I've just past the 1,000 mark on subscribers too!

[robban97swe]

Sad to here about why you don't show your face. Really strange that some guys don't appriciate your time and all for all these videos. but anyway, I've looked for theory lessons like this for a very long time, but don't know where to start, and it has never been like yours, step by step. That's appriciated! Keep up your good lessons and ignore all the stupid comments you may get;)

[Topdoginuk]

@robban97swe Thank you for your kind words.

I hope you derive some useful info from my lessons. Keep on with a great musical journey. Good luck.

Tony ;)

[robban97swe]

@Topdoginuk Thanks I'm at lesson six now, and now there's really hard things, so I've to slow the tempo down a little. I'll enjoy every single video and hope to write awesome riffs, solos and songs overall becouse of your help. And I belive I can do it;) Thanks aloooot once again:D

[MrCbolden]

Thanks Carl!

[weaponx29]

americans are not ugly..show ur face lad...not like asian people...hahah

[Topdoginuk]

@weaponx29 It's not my ugly muche I'm afraid to show, it's my privacy I wanna preserve.

[weaponx29]

@Topdoginuk right on dude!

[Crazyfish66]

@weaponx29 Its because of compete dildo's like you that people dont like to show their face on Youtube.

Great effort thanks for the lessons topdoginuk!

[EJRocky]

I've struggled with theory a lot. But this lesson was great! Really simple, everything's crystal clear.

Thanks mate. I'll be checking out the others :)

[tall32guy]

It would be nice if you could show your face and make your teaching a little more personal.. :)

[Topdoginuk]

@tall32guy Yeah I suppose you are right but, in an aesthetic obsessed world where people are judged by how they look, I won't be party to this hideous attitude. And I'm a bit overweight so I'd only get negative nasty comments. I'm going to be uploading more videos to help people and I will test to see if my theory is correct!

Thank you for your comment and suggestion. I still hope you are able to derive some benefit from the lessons. Good luck.

[frenchifresh]

thank you for the patience in making these videos. I really appreciate the explanations and demonstrations. I was actually wondering how I'd go about getting started on music theory.

[AlmarWinfield]

thanks for these lessons. - its amazing you dont have a lot of views or comments on all of them. You deserve much more

[Topdoginuk]

@AlmarWinfield Thank you for your kind words! Yeah, unfortunately, music theory lessons aren't XFactor material or, sexy images, otherwise I might have had more viewings! It's a strange world.

[CoffeeShopification]

I'd like to let you know you're doing a great service =D. I don't have access to instructional books or the capital to buy them, but I do have a banjo and internet access.  Thank you.

[neeraj2608]

@AlmarWinfield I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you Topdoginuk for these lessons!

[freezyfiz]

[ArtfulDomino]

[Ecram32]

How are you not all over youtube???? These are amazing videos.

[fatrat600284]

Thank you.

[Letsrockmn]

Congratulations to Topdoginuk and a big thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this set of videos.

For those of you not aware, this is the first in a growing set of music theory lessons that explain clearly the basics in an easy to understand method.

The approach is inspired and I urge anyone that wants to understand music theory to work through all the videos available.

[saiyanteddy]

Wow great videos!

do you do real lessons?

*As i also live in huddersfield.

[eastlakelax2]

Thanks for bringing them back. They really do help.

[jarvii]

These are great theory lessons, the best I've seen in Youtube!

I recommend these to everyone who's willing to get the understanding of what music theory actually is.

Good job!!
