- According to chat gpt, the #1 reason musicians avoid learning theory is for fear it will stifle their creativity. That's like saying studying grammar will make you a bad writer! The truth is, theory helps us compose, perform and appreciate sound on a deeper level

Music theory is like the grammar of a language, notes and chords are like words, rhythm is like sentences. I think music theory is vital if you want to actually understand what you're doing.
I wish I understood that 35 years ago. I only started to learn MT recently and it makes so much sense and really does help you. You can learn a lot without theory and many do and actually write good music. But if you struggle at all, knowing a little will help so much. It helps you understand the patterns and the possibilities that can be frustrating when you are winging it. Some people hear and put the patterns to work without even thinking about it, but for me I had a hard time understand why some things sounded good and others didn't until I learned some scales and practiced them and applied them to my own writing and looking at music I played from other bands. It all started to make sense.
Unironically, this is best music teaching I've ever gotten anywhere. Last time I got this close it was from Spanish UA-cam guitar players.....and I don't speak Spanish.
Lord shred keeping my mind always fitness with his info!
Shred, show us more of playing and compositions you made based on the things you teach! Will be appreciated and awesome content!
Inb4 boomers explain they “don’t need theory” while simultaneously explaining their own self discovery of theory and using it as their own framework to build the sounds they’re accustomed to
Music theory isn’t new
WOW, AMAZING! I've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is the best lesson i've ever heard! Thank you very much!!!
Such a gem of a video.
Awesome and concise summary, thank you
I love you Shredmaster Scott
when you do the quarter note demo and play play play that sounds like the beginning to the movie ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK!
Theory has helped me so much. More the earlier stuff than concepts like voice-leading, but even just learning the pentatonic scales helps a lot, in case the circle of fifths is too overwhelming. While guitarists are at a disadvantage with note reading, we don't have to deal with the bass clef or flats all that much. Piano is also great to learn alongside guitar as the note reading is very straight forward and can make composing a bit easier.
hell ya i did actually learn somethin today.. and your representation of the circle of fifths actually i feel stuck with me this time
thanks for the epic tutorial brother!
Easier than face is just it's the 7 letter alphabet starting with e, I am slowed down decoding face as I read, vs e to f 7 letter alphabet is easy enough without neumonic
EGBDF was Every Good Boy Deserve Fun................ But I like MUDHONEY's EGBD" Fudge" better!! 😅🤘
Thanks!
🤘😫🤘 we all need this in our lives 🫶🏼
Shred, this is a lovely explanation....but not everyone can hear those half tones different from whole tones. I'm ok (with perfect pitch) so I know my keys inside out but loads of folk have to work this out the hard way. I've always thought that teaching the modes works better but, I know already, you've been teaching this already in former videos. Major & minor really suck because they don't cover the full musical harmonic range. This is exactly why Bach is such a good example of using all the modes in his harmonic progressions...there isn't really any major or minor, just fleeting visits through certain keys until he settles on the key he started in, Picardy ending or not! They just say they're Major or minor because that's the key they started & ended in. I love your approach to teaching music ...almost makes me want to buy a guitar! 😀 ...I'm a middle aged pianist so it will take me some convincing...
Guitars don't have perfect pitch so I would not bother yourself with one, nice description of Bach too.
What notes that will summon the dead 😈
Awesome 🤘
First view ( edit : how do i share my music when i release, Do i need a business enquiry or just share my link) i really wish a feedback from you shred. Music has been quite a big part in my life. I really hope you enjoy it and im realeasing with video music as well ❤. And i appreaciate a lot to you because i learnt most of the exotic scales from your channel and have been exploring ever since.
This summer, Sacha Baron Cohen as... the Guitar Teacher! 😎
Concise and valuable 🤘
Amazing video.
I passed the 4th grade exam from the Royal School of Music already, yet this is still enticing.
I play in the key of B sharp all the time.
E sharp is better
Coming from below😂
How many people can look at this stuff, listen to it, and just BAM! get it? I love music, but it's as foreign to me as Chinese. From the start of the video, I was confused by 0:02, and just stayed that way. I understood your name, and nothing else. I'm a mechanical guy, an engineer, problem-solver, great with spatial relationships, horsepower, and forged steel. Creativity, ESPECIALLY musical, is not in my DNA. You could point me to a lumber yard, and I could build you a house, but I couldn't paint you a picture, sing a song, or play an instrument if there was a gun to my head. I AM a creative writer, having received some minor accolades. Other than that, if it isn't 3,500 PSI or made with explosive-reactive armor, I'm lost. Is there any hope for me, or is it truly something you are born with? Everyone in my family is musical but me, every one of them playing instruments, singing in bands or barbershop quartets. Is a guitar a lost cause for me? Actually, I want to play the hauntingly beautiful violin. Is there hope for me, or am I a snake trying to juggle?
Play the stereo brutha!
@@rustiecage I can HEAR very well. I can sing (terribly) every lyric on entire albums, I can air drum or air guitar entire albums, but when the rubber meets the road, I'm an absolute tragedy. Not a little, I'm a 400-car pileup with as many deaths.
have you ever broke down cycle of 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 6th etc... I have. cool how each creates it's own scale or pattern. good for writing jingles or hooks for songs.
