This has been really helpful so far- have been playing guitar for almost 6 years and have only just decided to look at music theory in any kind of depth- I guess I was a little intimidated by the sheer volume of stuff there is to get your head round at first... this has really helped a lot of things sink in. Thank you very much for taking the time to do it all!

I've been watching your videos. I think you're a great teacher! I have no experience playing piano or guitar (but I hope to start soon.). The way you teach breaks it down so much. I was watching this, going over the T, T, ST, T, T, T, ST, got to the 3 (iii), and I said, "I think that's supposed to be D#." I went back to the piano drawing I'd made, followed your model ("it's where you land"), it was a D# (which you noted too). :) Thanks for teaching these lessons. I appreciate that time you gave!

@ginosko85 Thank you too! I wish you a great future with your music. ;)

These are some of the best videos I have seen overf the years on youtube. I have been playing for about 6 years, play in two bands, made it on the radio, in the recording studio and even toured a few cities. I wish I would have leanred this during year one. I can only imagine how much futher along my playing would be right now.

Thank you for taking the time to make all of these videos.

If I remeber it well from my music class. Example of the C-chord. CEG. If you count the semi-tones from C to E, you got 4 of them, which are 2 whole tones. If you move from E to G, you get 3 semi-tones, which are 1,5 whole tones. Basically if there are 2 tones between 1&3 and 1,5 tones between 3&5, you get a major chord.

And for a minor chord it's vice verca: 1,5 tones between 1&3 and 2 tones between 3&5.

I hope what I say is correctly, but I'm pretty sure of it ^^

Hey, great videos and thanks for posting... Because of your lessons, I'm now actually able to comprehend the guitar grimoire books that I've spent so much money on...

I did get a bit confused for the first time on this video though... What were you getting at when you made the root notes in the ii, iii, vi, and vii positions a minor?

[chrmca]

yes sorry i get that . im just really frustrated(not at you ) because im really into music and i want to be able to play solos and i need to understand different scales and keys and like all positions and stuff , but i dont understand why you chop and change ? i cant find anywhere to help me learn that on here - do you know any books to recommend , and how you learn all thhis theory ?
