To everyone watching (and learning) Jack's newest lesson here......unless you're a super advanced guitarist.......and then perhaps even if you are.......Jack's latest TrueFire course just finally released today entitled; Jack's Manual for Tasty Blues Rhythm is beyond phenomenal and a must-have course! There are no weak spots! Lots of pro concepts and ideas! I've finally forced myself to take a break just to catch my breath!! Must have course, ladies and gentlemen!! Absolutely beyond worth the price!! Jim C.
Such a great teacher and a mega talent. Love watching him play simple melodies. Looks easy but of course it is anything but. We all have to start somewhere tho in improving our playing. Thanks Jack.
Listening to Jack, I have to guard myself from following the urge to just quit and sell my guitars. It becomes painfully obvious I still have so much to learn. And not that many years left to learn it. Great teacher. Great talent. Thanks Jack.
I think it is very rare that someone explains these concepts this way.At first i said to myself ok it is a lesson on intervals, but then gradualy you took us to the link between harmony and melody.I really like your approach and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
If there are any guitarists struggling with this, do yourselves a favor and work really diligently on this for at least a week. Listen to it a few times to really see what Jack is saying. *This is pure gold.* And you'll know this once it's under your fingers. There are no secrets to playing guitar. Just diligence and a keen teacher. Jack is truly one of the best out there!! Thank you, kindly, Mr. Ruch!!
Whew! Lots to digest. Thank you for a lesson that is much deeper than one might expect from a UA-cam video. If you haven’t already purchased all of Jack’s lessons, do yourself a favor and get to it. You won’t regret it. 😊
Great video! Very cool exercise, I really resonated with what you said at the end "wish I had learned this stuff when I was starting out". I've been playing guitar for about 15 years and am only recently committing myself to get better acquainted with music theory. You're vids are a great aid thanks!
I am not around people that know these things. I appreciate you putting this out there, Jack. Certainly don’t understand all of it but I’m so happy to have these videos to tell me as many times as I need to hear it. Keep playing. Love your instruction.
Thanks. You formalised some thoughts I've been having about chord structures but hadn't locked together. Music constantly pushes you further, you think you've reached somewhere then another door opens and you're off on another journey.
Hi Jack, this way of building progression using tonic through all 7 notes is amazing , because you end up finding more chords that you never thought of. So If it's possible to do the same thing using third or Fifth , could you please do a lesson as well for us? Thank you so much.
An important lesson for every student ( which you'll remain your whole lifetime). I've made a whole study on chord inversions and connecting them in progressions, maybe a topic to discuss once in your future lessons Jack, just an idea. Your quality lessons are among the best on youtube.
That is perhaps the most concise way that I have seen intervals explained, in a way that goes into depth, anyway. Also, thanks for the homework lol. I look forward to building some chords as you suggested. Cheers!
GREAT lesson! It summarizes years of study in just 22 minutes! This is the foundation to learn how to improvise, reharmonize, arrange, compose and express feelings through music! I'm limiting myself for now to just diatonic triads and seventh chords possibilities. But this lesson is going to be my next step! Thanks!
Beautiful playing . Strongly connected with underlying harmony . I just purchased the triad course and use it for my own students - it's great . I got a little request Jack : could you do a small lesson on your picking ? Are there certain things you worked on ? What's your take on this subject ?
Decades of experience parcelled into a neat little video. I just love your teaching and playing style, it's really relaxing! Top quality thoughtful lesson. Awesome!
A real eye opener for me Jack. I usually take the chords, and create the melody to fit them. Creating chords to fit the melody is fantastic. A lot of work for this old blues player 😂 Thanks
As happens a lot, this lesson really has me looking forward to practice tonight, and even thinking how I can apply it to a song I'm working on lately in a key I don't usually play in much. Thanks for the inspiration.
This was great Jack! I'm so glad I stumbled on this, I've been really trying to take a deeper dive into music theory after many years of just hacking around. This is like the right video at the right time in my musical quest. During the segment in the beginning when you were walking up from the perfect 5th I was thinking, "That's Kashmir! That's also Steal Away by Robbie Dupree." A lot to digest here . This is one video lesson I think I'll find myself returning to again and again as I move forward in my development. You just picked up another subscriber and a share.
Just stumbled onto your channel. I want to thank you for putting your incredibly well thought out lessons for us aspiring guitarists! Subscribed and liked!
I used to joke and tell people that when we die and we're sitting in the reception waiting to get our passports stamped for paradise, Pat Metheny's music is piped into room. If they've got Jack playing in the background, I'm going to misplace my passport to spend more time in the waiting room! 🙂😇
I think the hard part is knowing all the chord options and then narrowing it down to one that that sounds good after the previous chord. Is that just hours of experimentation?
Hi Jack. Love your content, but please change your camera lens or adjust the iris. Your depth of field is very shallow. Your guitar is not in focus from one end to to other. hope this is not taken as a complaint. Cheers

Right up my alley ….the last simple example I heard tennesse whiskey …. I ll look forward to playing with it 👍🏻
You make the construction of the 9th, 11th and 13th easy to understand, thanks Jack👍😅
I will be honest a lot went beyond me but I really like what I hear, will definitely be with this one for a while. Thanks for sharing
Glad to hear it! It's definitely a lot of information
Whew! Lots to digest. Thank you for a lesson that is much deeper than one might expect from a UA-cam video. If you haven’t already purchased all of Jack’s lessons, do yourself a favor and get to it. You won’t regret it. 😊
One of those light switching on lessons, for me in any case, seems so obvious now, great lesson, many thanks !
Great video! Very cool exercise, I really resonated with what you said at the end "wish I had learned this stuff when I was starting out". I've been playing guitar for about 15 years and am only recently committing myself to get better acquainted with music theory. You're vids are a great aid thanks!
Muchas Gracias.....this is exactly the kind of lesson that will open doors...I think it will take a lot of practice for integration
I am not around people that know these things. I appreciate you putting this out there, Jack. Certainly don’t understand all of it but I’m so happy to have these videos to tell me as many times as I need to hear it. Keep playing. Love your instruction.
God ! It all makes sens now ! Icant thank you enough for this !!!!!!!
After a decade or two of playing it all seems so simple! Oh the places I could have gone if I were never young and inexperienced. Good stuff Jack!!
Great lesson!!!! Thanks brother, love your videos they're the best out there. Top 3 for sure:)
You truly are a master of this instrument!!
Thanks. You formalised some thoughts I've been having about chord structures but hadn't locked together. Music constantly pushes you further, you think you've reached somewhere then another door opens and you're off on another journey.

Quite incredible! Honestly put me in such a good mood with this invaluable lesson. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Music theory geek warning!
Loved it, well explained.
This is brilliant! This is like a million lessons in one. So much stuff here. It'll keep me busy for a long time. Thanks Jack! 🤘

Thank you!!
Super great lesson, knowledge and application of intervals is so important also for vocalist .
Did I just hear Chris Stapletons version of Tennessee Whiskey? lol. Awesome video man.
To put it delicately, yer a fuckin genius. Many thanks for the glorious tutelage.
Thanks for the every video lesson...thanks a ton!
That is perhaps the most concise way that I have seen intervals explained, in a way that goes into depth, anyway. Also, thanks for the homework lol. I look forward to building some chords as you suggested. Cheers!
PheNOMENAL lesson Jack! Keep pumping out the gold!

That is quite something when it comes together at the end Jack. So much in this to take in. Thanks. Wonderful..
Your teaching is so effective, Jack. Thank you!
you are a great teacher, you make it so easy to transfer all the theory ive got too my guitar
Beautiful playing . Strongly connected with underlying harmony . I just purchased the triad course and use it for my own students - it's great . I got a little request Jack : could you do a small lesson on your picking ? Are there certain things you worked on ? What's your take on this subject ?

Thanks for taking the time to present this. Great job, Jack👏😁
This is pure gold. Thanks so much for sharing Jack. All the best, Thor
What an excellent lesson. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.

this is gold! I've done that a lot with the upper note but never thought to move the bass around for some reason
Thank you so much

Brilliant explanation
Wonderful unlock of a lesson. Thanks Jack
Amazing ! Jack Thank you......
Jack Ruch is the real deal! High class lesson
So cool. In a city with literally a million monster guitar players, jack manages to stand out.
The best lesson ever
Nice video bro, thanks
Thanks!
i want to understand this more
please more exercices or perspectives or explanation please
Subscribed. Love your phrasing. Also the tones - could you shed some light on your favourite gear? Thanks
That was Jim
Jack, might you develop this into a TrueFire course?
I used to joke and tell people that when we die and we're sitting in the reception waiting to get our passports stamped for paradise, Pat Metheny's music is piped into room. If they've got Jack playing in the background, I'm going to misplace my passport to spend more time in the waiting room! 🙂😇
Finally! This was the missing puzzle piece.
I think the hard part is knowing all the chord options and then narrowing it down to one that that sounds good after the previous chord. Is that just hours of experimentation?
Hi Jack. Love your content, but please change your camera lens or adjust the iris. Your depth of field is very shallow. Your guitar is not in focus from one end to to other. hope this is not taken as a complaint. Cheers
i still feel like i havent understood this yet. like there is a missing link in my head
💢💯💯💯💯
Some are flat, others are perfect
Talking about women? 🍈 🍈
Wow. So much meat on that bone I’ll be eating for a decade.
Great lesson. Thanks so much.
Thanks!
Thank you!
