      There is so much beginner content out there, I feel like I don’t need to contribute in that area. Once you can play a few chords and a pentatonic scale, anyone interested in making music would probably have a blast learning in my school.

    Great video. I'm a longtime drummer that started learning guitar just before Covid. I had a few in person lessons then everything stopped. I turned to the internet to continue since I was locked in my home for a year. I fell down the CAGED rabbit hole. Something my guitar teacher and bandmates were completely against. I didn't get it at all until I stumbled across your lesson on it. I'm now a gigging guitar player and I want you to know your free videos are a huge reason. I still play drums but I can honestly say I have a better understanding of the fretboard than the guitarist in my band. He's good, but is quite limited. He's blown away with how I can play chords all over the fretboard. He has to use a capo to do what I do with the CAGED system. And he still won't learn it because he doesn't want to get "caged" in.
    Anyways thank you so much.

  • @walt4670

    The way you explain things is so perfect for people just starting out with theory. Calling a pentatonic scale the "skeleton" of a major scale... you really have a mind for explaining concepts, and as someone who works in developing training programs across different industries, anytime you're looking for a career in education, it's waiting for you :).
