Thank you! Wonderful resource. Sharing with my college theory class today!

Hi This is very helpful. But I’m not getting why going from the root to g is perfect but from g to d is major.

Trying to be Rob chapman lol

Fix your thin cold sound

Listen to the composer and musician who's objectively better than any jazz composer or musician will ever be: "Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art." ~ Frédéric Chopin

At last I've realized why Jazz is so terrible! It violates the principles of music! Which is why classical music and metal and rock are objectively better and even timeless, while jazz is utterly forgettable and endlessly irritating and stupendously ugly.

Giant Steps has entered the chat....

scalloped fret board?

This key change business is only for western music right? For an ear that is not trained in western music, nothing seems to be happening.

Dear Tomasso, I like your content and approach to music theory. Also in this video. I didn't hear any riffs in this one, although title suggest so 🤔

LLEEEETSSS GOOOO!!!!

vivi in Canada.??Dove?? (Ivivo nella piccola italia,Montreal) You teach lessons here ?

Its just one of those "specialty tools" in an already altered scale (doubleharmonicminor), id say the best use if this would be an inversion of a pre dominant (aug 6) it works pretty good like that,lets call it rare/exotic,the only other possibility i can see is" lydian sus 2 (which is a stretch),but i think it functions better as an Italian aug 6 inverted "its actually cool that someone did a video about it,and this is definitely "nit picking " but in a cool/nerdy/theory junkie kinda way ,great job man 👍

Its going well I’ve been doing this for a few months bur doing excersise 5 of 70 bpm it went very easy so I checked for fun if 80 bpm was doable and that was also already doable. But I feel like I’m nowhere near memorization. I know the e strings by heart but i wouldn’t be able to play the g on string 4 right away So how to proceed? How would I go about this without looking at the diagram?

I would appreciate a complete guitar course that includes everything, similar to the Rick Beato course, but prefer a "step by step" course made by you.

Keith Richards is a master at voice leading.

Always great info! Thank you! 🙏🙏🦋

My god... I love this guy. I tried searching some good ear training practices, but only found video's of people with depressing voices talking on and on about intervals... Until I came across our lovely fellow again! Jeez I love this guy, such a lively voice and perfect explaination.

Awesome :-) Can I also say the N6 scale is like 7b/#5 seen from C as shortcut? Almost whole tones? Thank you

Starting on 19/01/2025, I'll let everyone know how it goes

LEEETTSSS GOOO!!!

Great concept. I'm going to just do it!!!

I understand modes but there is nothing out there that shows how to use them with real life examples.

Half the battle. Thanks!

Im very happy to have found this. I’ve been working on the problem by myself for a while and was just considering a ‘one at a time’ exercise when I stumbled on this super refined version. It sounds good to me; it’s the way I’ve learned to handle various tools all my life from keyboards to rifles. I have the time and the motivation so I’ll comment again when I’ve cracked it. 😁

Great video! Thank you for the explanation and Phish are masters at the art of tension/release. The whole performance model is built around the concept while utilizing a multi-layered approach to the concept. The outer layer being the concert tour itself; back in the early to mid '90s we were compelled to see as many shows as you could, simply because you might miss something that they'll never do again. The inner layers being the performances themselves. Rarely was a song played as you heard it on the CD and they would lean on the use of tension/release within the song structure to bring out any potential excellence that might not get explored if they were just doing the same thing each night. Grateful Dead is another example from the past and in the present I would point toward King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard as modern examples of this.

Mr. Zillio, I have been practicing your method for over 3 months now and am now on the 4th level of your technique. I am having some success that I feel good about but am wondering, what is the typical time period in which the average person will learn the fretboard using your method.

Come disse un saggio, impara l'arte e... dimenticala 😊

Gracias, buenísimos los tips

Thank Tomasso. Your videos are always so fun, full of positive energy, and of course applicable information.

Thanks. Great tips.

When am I supposed to stop looking at the picture of the notes? I'm at exercise#4 and I've still been looking at the notes in the picture. Should I restart exercise one and memorize the notes first? (I know you said to just play and not memorize) or at least try to get used to it without using the picture? Edit: I feel like I'm doing something wrong or sor t of "cheating" the exercises by constantly looking at the picture and my guitar fretboard constantly.

could experimenting with superimposing the pentatonics of the key over the same chord progression, be seen as a parallel process of reharmonizing the same melody line with different chords?

Thanks for the video! It's great! Why do we skip open strings?

Yo grandissimo! Ti seguo da Trieste..continua così! Fai video interessantissimi.E a volte mi fai 🎉esplodere la testa xD

I got into some paid online video courses and they did feature some helpful theory stuff, but overall I will probably also end up joining in person lessons. KZbin/the Internet is a blessing, but sometimes the amount of possibilities can be overwhelming and you need to sift through it and find the lessons that connect with you.

First!

This is why I had trouble with Algebra

Mind blowing awesome ! Tab guy here at 60years old learning "real" music for my retirement hobby. Thank you for this video 🙏

Robert Fripp does this, but also plays the lick backwards and starting on different notes within the lick.

I VERY much want to learn the notes and fretboard, and I recently came across this video. I'll admit, I'm VERY, VERY skeptical that this method actually works, even though I looked through around the first 40 comments and they all seem very positive. Anyway, despite my skepticism, I'm going to give this a try. I just sent in a request for the free e-Book and video, although I don't know if that is different than this video. I have plenty of free time to do this and I'd like to maximum whatever the optimal practice time is for this. Anyone know?

When I am supposed to be able to do the exercice without looking at the diagram? Thanks

If I can’t do the Vulcan salute will I ever be able to play guitar?

How the hell am I supposed to do the natural note of a on all 12 frets ??

Thank you for this video. The other scale/tuning you mentioned at 6:13 is called In. The way I like to think of Japanese pentatonic scales is with what I call trichhords. Basically you break the scale into the bottom half and the top half, with a whole step in between and when you do that you will see a lot of patterns emerge. For example, Hirajoshi (what you call the Phrygian version) would be made of two identical trichhords comprising semitones of 1, 4 separated by a whole step. The In scale then has the same bottom trichord but the top one is 3, 2 semitones. Then there is another Japanese scale called Minyo which uses that same 3, 2 Trichord repeated twice which is identical to minor pentatonic

Great tip, Tommaso. This makes playing at slower tempos much easier. Thanks for posting!

I'm one of your KZbin followers who remains quiet but checks in nearly everyday. I've been learning and taking lessons for just over a year. Thank you for your daily inspiration and motivation!

Fasterererer!!!

Jaco Pastorious did this on Ian Miller´s - All American Alien Boy´s Bass solo, such a sweet sequence

‘The Waterfall’ ostinato/sequence… fun to try different bass lines underneath. Great interplay possibilities. Thanks, great stuff!
