im new to playing and just discovered this video. Crazy it only has 170 views. I went into the comments hoping to see many people giving thanks to you for making this video. Your way of explaining is easy to understand and helped me a lot. For 210 subs your video is very well made and very professional. Wish you the best the channel deserves more attention!! Thanks
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Yup, I'm just starting out. I appreciate the kind words. Let me know if you ever have any questions. I'd be happy to help :)
oh my god seriously thank you for this video. i was so overwhelmed seeing all the notes on the fretboard, i thought they were just random but now i see they are in a pattern!! thank you !!!
13 years I have been on/off fiddling around with guitar and now decided to learn properly. Your videos are straightforward and easy to understand❤ I learn so much from these thank you for making them so easy to understand
Yeah dude.. You're on your path, stay focused.. Of all the instructional videos, your content has been the most digestable instantly, across the board. You're a teacher through and through and with the proper focus I think you could be one of the top instructors on the platform. Thanks for the lesson man
Andrew, I know this is an old video, but I just discovered your playlist and I feel like my brain exploded! All of this makes so much sense in a way it never did before. Thank you SO much
Hands down the best guitar channel out there. No intro and no bs, just straight to the point with the best approach I've seen so far. I love your approach and how you're breaking down things very methodical. Everything makes sense! Thank you
Not really , Not to shit on him, he did a good job but i have a problem when people use the word GENIUS when it's not deserved this isn't genius , this is basic guitar theory and the important basics, you don't go up to your math teacher after she teaches you 2+2 and you say wow, you are honestly a genius teacher No... you don't do that he is well spoken, sure but not a genius (at least i can't judge it by this content)
@Play Guitar The Right Way No i don't think it's a fake comment and i understand that i've been playing a long time, some, 35 odd years, i think the comment is genuine and comes from a good place, a place of appreciation but IT'S AN INACCURATE COMMENT Look, i'm an Engineer by trade, ok I.T. Electrical and Electronics Now, the term engineer gets thrown around a lot and after a while it doesn't mean much and it's rather insulting to real engineers Now.. i myself do not see myself as a genius, although i get called a genius quite a lot and now , let's ask why that happens i may go to a clients house and just re terminate a connection (a Very simple thing in my line of work) and the person see's me as a genius on the guitar, i might do some sort of solo Around Am Pentatonic (which we all know is stock and relatively simple) but to those that don't know they see this as GENIUS it's not Genius, i'm not shitting on their comment, i know it's genuine and they mean well i'm not shitting on the creator of the video i'm just correcting the comment so they understand he is not on a genius level for doing this.... this is basic stuff and i don't think he takes it offensively because he would also know it's basic stuff that's all it is
This isn't a fake comment, and I didn't say he was a genius, he's a genius teacher, I struggle to learn some things and he made it very easy to understand and to learn is that not a great teacher?
@@MBudManBBG ok, firstly , i didn't say it was a fake comment THAT WAS THE OTHER GUY you did say he was a genius , Look "Honestly, you're a genius teacher." see........... RIGHT HERE LOL Genius and Genius teacher is the same thing, it's still a form of genius as for this " I struggle to learn some things and he made it very easy to understand and to learn is that not a great teacher?" MATE... allow me to use profanity so that you understand me PERFECTLY i absolutely fucking understanding you , ok When i was younger i also struggled to learn shit, SO .. I GET IT He is a good teacher YES Genius teacher.... NO TO YOU, However.... he is and i understand that as well although again, just be clear I didn't say your comment was fake, that was the other guy. i was the one that said it WASN'T fake so just understand this.... when you actually meet a GENIUS TEACHER it won't be like this guy, but for now.... sure, Learn from him , he's a good teacher
After 48 years of playing around with the guitar, you are the first instructor to explain the notes on the neck in an easy to understand why. I think in a few days I should have them all memorized.
ive had the notes down for quite a while on a per string basis, but NEVER has anyone talked or mentioned Octave centers. you just made my life so much easier in regards to understanding the relationship between strings, octaves, and moving around shapes on the fretboard. Thanks!
Very easy to follow. Thank you. That's a big help. I didn't know how to find the octave note from the D string to the B string. Now I do thanks to your video. Fantastic.
I've been trying to teach myself guitar for years. I played brass in school, and I could never find anyone that would teach guitar in reference to basic music theory (only all-in, or no theory at all). These videos are *EXACTLY* what I've been looking for! THANK YOU!
Just here to help the algorithm. I've been consuming beginner guitar content for a bit and really this channel has been the most digestible. For me, I'd much rather take 12-15 mins to discuss simple, but foundational concepts in-depth rather than the 5 mins that other teachers seem to breeze through.
I've been learning on and off for a couple of years and this is the first time I've seen this idea. It's genius in it's simplicity and you explained it perfectly clearly. This is massively helpful, thanks.
| usually don't write comments BUT I have to say that this is the best video about this topic l ever found in the jungle of guitar theorie videos. As a beginner it helped me a lot and I finally got it. Very well and easy explained, thank you! Keep up the great work!
Dude. This tutorial rocks. I’ve heard this stuff before but your instructional style lends to a level of understanding that few other videos reach. I’ve consolidated more from three of your videos than all I’ve watched in 2 years. Thanks 🙏🏾
Hello Mr Andrew Clark, am your student from zambia I can now play and understand the chords nice. God bless you and thanks very much for the beautiful lessons
I can't believe how much sense your videos are making! I have been playing on and off for about 10 years. I have gotten frustrated. Stopped playing saying "maybe it is just not for me." Listen to some songs, get inspired, pick up and play for a week or 2, then just give up because I just couldn't seem to get it, and life just doesn't really give me enough breaks to play and practice. Your videos dropped into my feed sometime yesterday and you use John Mayer for teaching. THIS is extremely motivating to me. Mayer he is one of my aspirations with my guitar journey. If I can ever play at least one of his songs from start to finish in one sitting, I will feel like I have accomplished something. Thank you, good sir. Please keep teaching us the way you do!
You are going to be the Legend of beginner guitar players with how you explain it in a simple and understandable manner. Thank you for coming to the youtube. I think you will have your channel bloom soon.❤😊
Dude! You're brilliant! So CMIIW.. Know notes on 1st and 2nd string, and do a power chord octave shape to find it in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th (with a little tweak on the shape) and the 6th E string is the same with the 1st E string right?
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m a guitar beginner from germany and I’ve just recently discovered your channel - I really really appreciate your videos! Helps a lot and it’s much easier to understand that way! Great work💯
I recently ran across your guitar tutorials and have been saving almost every one to have as a reference. I think you are a great teacher and set each video up with clear and attainable objectives. Thanks for your work!
Just found this channel and wanted to say thank you for the clear and concise videos! Super useful delivery of information without any bloat. Very much appreciate your efforts!
I've always felt overwhelmed by guitar theory so I have spent years just ignoring it. This has obviously been to my detriment so I thought I'd take a crack at it again. I am so glad I found your video. Subscribed and plan on rewatching this until its second nature. Instead of being overwhelmed now I'm just regular whelmed.
Brother, I was suffering with the REAL guitar teaching from a REAL teacher. You saved me tone of my time. I'd want to meet you in person someday and collab with you. LOVE INDIA. Thank you for being a genuis at teaching, you remind me of my late grandpa as he used to be a teacher as well. Thank you so much.
Literally a day after I watched this video my friend (who dosen't play guitar) taught me the notes for hot cross buns (easy I know, but that's why he wanted me to play it) and I was able to play it, which I couldn't do before. Thanks for the great lesson man!
Everybody knows that the alphabet starts with the letter A and so does the musical alphabet, but every music teacher starts the musical alphabet with the letter C because that is the start of the Major scale and we don't have to confuse beginners with sharps and flats but you would be surprised at how nobody explains it like that, and so beginners ar left wondering why you would start an alphabet with the letter C and not A. I am glad that you explained it. What prompted my thought is I tryed to apply your 221-2221 phone number to your abcdefg and found it didn't work unless you stared with the letter C first...cdefgab. Thank you so much it really was an ah ha moment for me.
Real good lesson(s) I'll use your method as well and something you said at the end of your lesson was very important to, you said you probably will want to memorize the notes on every string etc and yeah l too do that as well-GREAT LESSON!!!!
thank you I'm using your vids to help me teach my daughter. I know a bit of theory but I want to go slow for my daughter. I'm using your vids to get me there. Thanks
I love your videos and teaching style.. I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before😂😂 Sometimes I cheat I play keyboard so sometimes I visualize the keys on a keyboard😉.. Thanks again. Craig

Happy to hear that! You're very welcome.
