    i've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is truly the coolest video I've seen about scales.....great job definitely...you actually demystified some stuff that many people struggle with, cause they sound/look pretty difficult or made in a way that they look so...schools really need guys like you...the best way of teaching and letting people enjoy...only people who master things are able to explain them in the simplest possible way...

And that's it. I know 7 chords by heart, A minor, D, C, Cmaj7, G, Em, E)).

I didn't realize I needed this to write songs that actually sound pleasant. This video helped a lot.
