    I am in awe. Two months ago I didn't even really know what a note was. Now I can take most pieces of music, derive its structure, make it easier to play and even give myself a framework from which to jam over it. This course has made such a difference in the way I approach music. Love you Scotty! Thank you so much for putting this online.

    I'm confused! Are Dan and his Uncle Roy Parks just like any of other 20 players in every town, or are they something special? 😂 Mixed messages. (The answer is the latter, but I have to think Dan was annoyed.)

    "That seems as though, then, that this song is probably in the key of E minor." Glad it's not just me who doesn't always find it obvious.

    Does it make sense to play open strings when playing a scale? I tend to like the sound but it seems to be unconventional.

    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.

    This analysis presupposes the 3 halfstep distance between the scale root and the chord root is maintained through the progression. Why is that presumed? Back when we played 1-4-5 starting with Ionian, you had the scale root change along with the chord root, which was enlightening. Now the roots are different, but the distance is constant. Will this get messy once key changes are introduced?

  • @miTnosnhoJ

    Made it to the end! I already knew the theory parts, but I really needed a systematic way to apply scales, arpeggios, and intervals to the guitar. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

  • @Devlar
    @Devlar 21 день тому

    What's fascinating about this lesson is that while it looks like there is a lot of new complexity, it really just builds off the diatonic mode. Thanks to musical number theory you just shift from the diatonic to get your new patterns so it leads to far less cognitive load. You learn the major diatonic and then shift.

    I’ve never thought of each chord change as a change in mode. I’ve been trying to make sense of how chord progressions and melodies go together, and have been told to just play what sounds nice together. Your thought process makes much more sense!

    Found a lot of this on my own while noodling on the guitar, all based on the previous videos. Just had a lot of fun finding new ways to make a chord with a root note randomly on the fretboard. Very cool to see it has been conceptually mapped out already.
