Absolutely fantastic work. Your ability to explain musical ideas that go beyond just song tutorials is otherworldly. Some teach songs, but you create true musicians.
Based T Wong. Been getting into theory over the last year or so, and this is one of the first things I started doing naturally. Nice to be confirmed in that!
I've always felt a little overwhelmed with learning intervals/scales/chords/harmony/the fretboard, but this video really put it together for me and gave me a place to start. Thank you Trevor!
Great teaching, have been playing guitar for 15 years and just finished taking my first month of lessons. I had no idea how much I was missing buy not knowing the theory behind what I had learn by ear. Great video. Keep them coming!
How about a lesson on picking techniques used in math rock and how to practice them properly? Another good lesson idea is coming up with tapping licks for your chords in math rock.
For anyone wanting a easy way to remember the major and minor scale I think about the number of whole steps before a half step. So for the major scale it is just 2-3. So two whole steps, then a half step and three more whole steps and the rest are half steps. This only works because there are no consecutive half steps in both the major and minor scale. So the minor scale would just be 1-2-2. I'm sure other people have come up with this before but putting this here for anyone who would find this helpful.
You can also just remember the notes where the half step occurs. For the major scale, its between notes 3 & 4 and notes 7 & 8. For the minor scale, it's between notes 2 & 3 and notes 5 & 6. But yeah I think there are different ways to remember it.
Hey Trevor I just wanted to say thanks so much for being on this platform and putting all of this good knowledge on here. Most of the time people want us to pay for lessons like this and I just think your a huge inspiration to me as a guitar player. Thanks man 🤘
Damn, you've over doubled in subs since I started following. I only understand 25 percent of what you say for the most part but still have taught me a lot lmao
Dude, this was an awesome lesson I have been trying to jump back on guitar because I’ve been inspired recently by some math rock bands so this is super up my alley Thanks!!!
1:22 so what about non standard tuning? I really want to learn to play songs I like by ear but how can I even begin to indemnify notes ? And what If they’re on some other tuning? 😭
What helps me is (1= whole step , so skip a note , instead of F and F# which would be a half do F and G which is a whole so on and so on, I just figured this out but wwhwwh works just as great honestly!) E string 11211 A string 21211 D string (it’s just reversed) 21121 G string (this is weird ) 12121 B string is just like the low E string and high e string
If you know some theory the major scale pattern can be used for two different keys, usually the major scale is the same pattern and position as it's relative natural minor , ( the tonic note of a relative minor is three frets lower) hence you don't have to relearn it. So the notes of a C major scale are the same notes on the A natural minor scale. It's important to specify that this only applies to the natural minor scale, as there are two other minor scales, harmonic minor and melodic minor, which have one and two note differences respectively.
best guitar teacher 🌻
aww thanks!

Thanks Kurt, man that means a lot!
I love how watching yours and Steve’s videos I ended up covering most of this stuff naturally because I needed it as I was going.
Nice, im glad that we're both able to fill those gaps in the knowledge!
last time i was this early to a trevor video my girlfriend dumped me for 'being obsessed with that strange man who plays twinkly guitar'
:O i hope that's not real!
She aint worth it man

As a beginner knowing to build scales with chords has been one of the most valuable tips i've heared in lesson videos
What band is this guy in? He’s an absolutely genius - best videos I’ve found
I've always felt a little overwhelmed with learning intervals/scales/chords/harmony/the fretboard, but this video really put it together for me and gave me a place to start. Thank you Trevor!
Hole step, half step. Gotcha 😂 amazing video, thanks so much for all the advice
Great teaching, have been playing guitar for 15 years and just finished taking my first month of lessons. I had no idea how much I was missing buy not knowing the theory behind what I had learn by ear. Great video. Keep them coming!
Learning some theory definitely helps! Can't go wrong with learning more. Will do and thanks for the kind words!
@@TrevorWongMusic signed up for another month of lessons. Looking forward to watching more videos from you!
Thank you! Awesome explanations as I try to figure out which end is up on my guitar. 😊
How don't you have more subscribers? Your content is awesome.
Straight forward, demystified. Great job.
You have a teaching spirit very detailed not missing a damn thing super music theory 🧠💪
amazeballs advice, thanks.
Never looked at scales from this perspective. This is really a great help to me! Subscribed!
Great class, just watched the first half, will practice in the following days and then will watch the other half. Thanks! :)
Thanks for checking it out Alan!
thanks yet again trevor!
no prob!

Sure!
“hey everybody” . Me, out loud for no reason: “hi Trevor”
hahah awesome, i love that. it's nice to know that people are engaging with my hey everybodies

well thanks for following for so long! hopefully following along becomes easier in time!
Practising what you are bad at. Good advice that is so hard to do. Thx! :)
Wow your guitar is amazing without tuners
trying to show off your new strandberg but it wont stay in tune :L nice vid mate, always a good source of info
Dude, this was an awesome lesson
I have been trying to jump back on guitar because I’ve been inspired recently by some math rock bands so this is super up my alley
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the kind words, glad it helped out!
Thank you!!!! 👏👏👏👏
thanks maddy :)

E string

A string
21211
D string (it’s just reversed)
21121
G string (this is weird )
12121
B string is just like the low E string and high e string
so great
thanks!
I'm still confused about a lot. Like she says she wants me to ask her to marry me, but also says she isn't sure sometimes if she wants to or not

whole is spelled with a “W” not an “H” - fix it mannn idk how u let that slip
