Just learning again after not playing for decades and that was super helpful

Thank you - very thorough and clear, perfectly delivered. Love the fact that you are covering the absolute basics with no assumption of prior knowledge. And it’s free!! ❤

50% correct 50% lazzy

Thanks! very clear and easy to understand and make sense. I was struggling with some positions as I was trying to use the whole chord, but I see you can only use 3 fingers and not playing the whole notes of the chord. 😅

Also, I wonder how many great musicians have been held back by 'copyright' b.s. making music resources unobtainable or hard enough to find it may as well be. Sad. Even when we have found the resources they are watered down as in cant show the chords on the screen. B.S.!!!

Super simple, solid lesson! Greatness awaits your students! Thanks! Cheers!

i play the gin-n-tonic scale.

Thanks bro.

That was wonderful. Could I perhaps ask as a potential follow up to this, that you do something on “bass runs” (or is “walks”) as a way of linking chords. It’s a really heavily used technique as you know especially in genres such as country music but I have always struggled with it. I have always loved the sound of it and know it’s also a great way to learn your fretboard so I would really welcome a basic tutorial if and when you have time. Cheers and thanks for all the great stuff you do, it’s really appreciated.

Nice little Fake Plastic Trees sneak in there...

Great stuff really enjoy your style of teaching keep it going

Now do one on arpeggio speed runs and tapping...

Another great vid Monkey Boy…

another on fingerpicking would really help

love it

I am your Master...

Is a flat 2 technically a minor second?

So far I am loving your Music Theory playlist stellar job well done

Oh I think I understand on second thought because if I were right it would mean that the A note is the root in any scale containing an A and that is wrong rather the lowest note is the key center and in G that is G rather A or some other note in the key of G would be either up the scale or a chromatic note which is added to the scale; am I wrong?

Very practical and you take so much effort to make sure the importance of all those little but important nuances is not missed. Please keep it up

Thank you very much. Very well presented.

Very helpful!

Good explained

Great video mate! Although you should edit out those breaths... 😁

TOFF!!!

Thanks Riz! great video. Ironically, I've literally just finished watching Ric Brewster playing with the Angles......he might be the only exception to the rule 😆

Great video Riz!

Great job with teaching the basics of this important skill that musicians should know. You have a great method for sharing things in a way my small capacity brain can handle, LOL.

You are good I have subscribed and followed

Thank you!

Hi, i would like to request if you can make a separate play list of strummings only. Also if you could label them part 1, 2, ... From basic to advance concepts. Thanks in advance

U have made the music theory easy to understand, now w have to build the memory muscle for quick hand movements. Thanks a lot ur an amazing teacher.

Good lesson

How do hold the pick up strums vs down strums. My up strums pick digs in?

I find it annoying to the max that hitting D D U U D U D seems sooo much more difficult (for me) than skipping the Up strokes. 🙄 I did finally get it, sort of, but it took me a LOT longer than I thought it should have. And still working on it to make it more consistent and fluid. A REALLY informative video, especially the 16th time strum. 😊

Wonderful ! I have taken guitar lessons for a few years and I love the way you explain the concepts , Thanks !!!

Great stuff - this truly is lightbulb, transformative info. What might be cool, if you think it could work, is maybe do a video sometime where you demonstrate on your GUITAR how the chords in the scales you have identified in this video fit together as a “family” and how really famous songs are so often built on such. For instance, for me, it really blew me away when I found out how Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” was built from the C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor chords that were ALL found in the C major scale - a total classic built from chords in just ONE scale. No doubt you would know heaps of other examples but the main thing is it just shows how the theory you explained really does come alive and that it underpins the songs so many of us love and want to play. Anyhow, love your work - just fantastic and look forward to whatever video you do next.

Follower count is getting healthy! Algorithm works 😂

I learn a lot from you. ❤❤❤

A big thanks for this Riz….not only is it fantastic to see suggestions turned into reality within literally days but even better, your tips can truly make strumming a far more natural and enjoyable experience. Can’t thank you enough…very much appreciated.

Thanks! Debating between this and Storytellers .... nice track!

Can you do a video on how to get your plectrum out of your guitar when it falls in?

It's called a plectrum. A pick is for digging holes. FIGHT ME!!! 🤣

Good starter tutorial for begginers. Noticed lots of these tutorials depicting the C add9.. along with E m7, Dsus4. As you mentioned for your upcoming tutorials you'll be covering strumming / Rythum.. Through the years, I've met begginers and the confusion is rythum. Chords, how to hold your guitar, how to hold a pick or no pick is important. Not as important as rythum. While showing a rythum pattern or strum pattern. Have a piece of music playing so they can here what your trying to convey with a strum pattern. Lot's of lights will come on in peoples heads. And your Subs will start accumulating.. 👍

Needs more cowbell...

Nice!!!

Great lesson like the breakdown of the techniques required very informative thank you so much for posting this Greetings fae Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
