Best guitar teacher on KZbin!!!!!!! Reason being he is not a guitar snob he is actually learning along with his followers.

[@amandasholan7168]

Matt I really enjoy your videos I can honestly say I've watched hundreds of them six months ago I bought a Taylor 114 had never held a guitar before tried watching other people's videos but they were too fast and too advanced you taught me so many easy ways to do so many different chords I would love to see you more videos like this since you already have hundreds of doing songs don't get me wrong I want you to keep doing those videos to I would love to see more of these and a couple more on how to do bar chords without having to Bar them I am learning to write songs and love being able to cheat and do bar chords in my songs without actually having to bar them God has definitely led me to you because you are one of the few people that I can watch and understand I also bought your DVDs they were very helpful

[@wallyantonsen98]

I really enjoy your lessons and I tried this method with my looper pedal to play chords then solo over using your method. It is so much easier and fun to try. Thank you for all your great lessons.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Awesome Wally!

[@jmartin567]

I play lead guitar,self taught years ago but always palyed by ear,you have just showed me something today i have never been shown this way and i just learned it from you thanks very much, and i just subscribed.

[@daniellynch579]

I was at a point where I was stuck and your video helped with just enough theory that it wasn't overwhelming ..because I have searched for videos to show me how and where to go on the neck when soloing..I could play some chords and start a solo and then get stuck because I didn't know what to go next bit this helped after hundreds of videos..but I have learned a lot from Marty Schwartz

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome! glad i can help! thanks Daniel!

[@redfish410]

Matt your the real deal! You make it easy to understand and let us know your learning it as well. Thank you and god bless!

[@glenncalzada1707]

Watching you struggle gave me encouragement. You actually made sense to me and I will be practicing your technique. Thanks

[@kenfren42]

I am a 76-year-old retire and have been struggling with walk up's and this tutorial has helped immensely---thank you

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Awesome brother!

[@RaginMoose100]

I love lessons like this man! Marty Music and Justinguitar have really helped me with scales and learning the pentatonic scale as well as theory and lead guitar. You've also helped me a lot too. One of the best things you taught me was that strumming was all about timing and not to have a set strumming pattern which always used to mess me up. Since you taught me about timing it's totally changed the way I play. Thanks for that! Keep up all the great work you do and God Bless!!!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@therdgenrx7]

I've watched both for years and have learned a lot from them

[@mrbtboydify]

RaginMoose100 Matt has helped me too. I kept trying to play like actual song but gave up guitar thought it weren’t for me. Then Matt appeared and saved me from misery lol. I now play songs my way. But with better timing than before. All the best to you and merry christmas

[@randybyrd5899]

wow! I had the lightbulb come on during your video. First time watching you and when you explained the 12 notes there it finally hit home. Great job, I'm a beginner and I got so much out of this video, I will be watching more of them. Thank You a bunch. Randy (newbie)

[@Derekalwaysdelivers207]

Started learning this stuff myself recently because I got sick of being stuck at the basics. It's amazing how learning so little can improve your guitar playing. Thanks for the video

[@donniesasser6143]

Hey Matt, great video. I don't care what kind of video you make cause I'll watch it. 😊 You make it real and easy and then I go practice. I'm like you, I stick with the top frets and not up and down the neck. But now, LOOK OUT!!! Thanks

[@CountrySongTeacher]

ah yeah!! love it Donnie!!

[@johnsomebody972]

I’m still learning this and from what I have been told to start off with would be the 2 strings 5th and 4th 1-2 3-4 and always finish in the key note. For example, In the key of D it would be 1-2 3-4 4th bring the D note. You can mess around going back and forth, put some hammer inside pull off’s slide into the first note but that comes a little later. I would also recommend getting some sound tracks to play over. Any way that’s my 2 cents on this from what I’ve learned so far.

[@toriredlund1903]

I learned a lot from yourguitarsage here on youtube about scales. This video really made sense to me. I've been playing scales but haven't really thought about how to solo. I'm good feeling rhythm in a song but I'm not too good at lead guitar. This video makes solos seem less complicated and really helps me use basic chord shapes to understand and play lead guitar.

[@wardettinger5452]

we all wanna learn how to solo so keep it up I'm a beginner too play Barre chords but need to start playing individual notes thanks for the new lesson keep em coming

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Thanks Ward!

[@Parson316]

Your videos keep bring me back to the guitar. Fun to watch and fun to learn. Thanks for inviting us into your home. Bryant

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@howemusictuition]

A brilliant concept to simplifying basic lead phrases or fills between chord changes. Thanks for sharing.

[@evilgenius3646]

MAN. I'm ashamed to say, I've been playing guitar off and on for 18 years and you just blew my mind. I recently found your channel, because I have recently developed an interest in playing country music. I would definitely like to see more videos like this one.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Welcome aboard! thanks so much!

[@roughtown]

I comment about twice a year. This video grabbed my attention. Watching it is well worth the time to get a boost in your efforts to learn this demanding instrument. I like this fellow.

[@rustyfoster3963]

Man I want to say. I've been messing around witha guitar for longer than I can remember. Hitting the same old 4 chords. Watching your videos has helped me get to that fifth chord. That may not sound like much to someone with a gift. But I am stoked to have found this video. You explained this so well that it clicked with me. Thank you!!

[@srclark115]

i like your video it really struck a chord and i'm binging to finally understand how to have fun and make music

[@jimh3853]

This is one of the best beginner videos I've seen in a very long time. I've been self-taught for about three years now learning where I can and from who I can. This video is filled with information that I had a hard time grasping. Thank you so much for this, keep up the good work!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome Jim! thanks for the encouragement man.

[@johnmurphy9911]

I've seen this sort of tutorial before, but never really understood how it works and which strings to play. Your lesson has suddenly turned the lightbulb on in my head and I now know when and how to use it. I can not thank you enough.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Glad it helped!

[@jonathanbrkich1982]

Excellent basic intro into scales and how they relate to the fret board. Much appreciated and definitely will check back at your channel. Thanks

[@zemhrethagos2575]

Man, you are the best teacher, you gave me power to continue my journey.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@reloader2267]

You taught me the most about scales. As a matter of fact answered the question that i asked my music teacher yesterday afternoon. Great lesson. Cheers

[@michaelbaas1753]

I dont usually watch guitar videos but something about you just catches my attention

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Thanks brother!

[@cgkuch4184]

It makes a huge difference whose teaching and how they can demonstrate and explain in simple terms. Your teaching style makes it less intimidating. Variety is everything too. I'm 51 and finally taking the time and initiative and patience to learn how to play the acoustic and electric guitar. Great informative video!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome! I sure needed that today! Thanks for the kind feedback

[@SRamdhani1]

This was very helpful, thanks. Watching from Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies.

[@elvistumassang3830]

This video is very helpful, as an absolute guitar beginner I had no clue on solo lead but this video gave me an Idea of it in the most simple way. Thank you 🙏

[@randystone7442]

Great work i picked up guitar 6 months ago and at 46 years old ... love how you just get us in there.... and yes this video on pentatonic scale was strait forword made sense to me finally

[@mikeherbert3598]

Yes, I like this video because it is important to be able figure out where individual notes are on each string, particularly on the low E string as a starting point. One of the tricks I use is for remembering what notes are on the first 3 dots on the neck for the 6th (low E) string is to use the term "GAB". That kinda fits into this lesson for the G, A, D chords here because using the dots on the neck makes it easier to play the 6 note progressions.... Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them.

[@MusicSmiles]

Thank you so much !!!! Look forward to learning more solo fret... I need it too !! Thanks again !

[@andrewperry5326]

Wow you really opened my eyes on this video I’m only 6 days in and you got me strumming in color and hurricane and on the path to more I can’t wait till I can actually sing along with my guitar my love for singing country music is what got me here in the first place! Much love and Thankyou for the endless great content

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome Andrew! I appreciate you sharing!

[@bobrobins6605]

I've just started playing and thats the first time i understand it, brilliant all the way from Liverpool uk scouser

[@thomasmccoy5250]

100% need more videos like this handy little tricks that just makes you look and sound like a pro

[@franksaunders1884]

Thanks again mat . Your making my guitar playin so much better and I’m turning heads now . I never thought i would be at the level I’m at now . Im 52 and still have my first guitar i got at 10 years old. I also write songs . God bless you .

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Glad to hear it! awesome man!

[@Heathereileenmusic]

Wow a light just came on! You’re such a great teacher. I’ve tried to learn this from others and wasn’t getting it. Thank you!!

[@joshdavis5367]

Having took music theory in college this actually made sense. Just hadn’t applied it to guitar this way. Thanks for the video

[@68halfcab]

Love the beginner solo video!!! I'm 63 and just learning guitar.

[@68halfcab]

I forgot to add Dave Simpson, he rocks

[@Msquared299]

I am so glad you popped up on my YT feed. I'm in the same place. Lots of chords and rhythm up in the first position, but have always struggled knowing where and how to fill in melody notes and this is exactly what I am trying to improve on. Thank you!

[@lisacole850]

I just now have come across your tutorial here and you are the one that has finally helped me understand the fret board thank yo so very much- it was the comparison to the piano keys that did it for me. Now I am a beginner and it would be great if maybe for us beginners you could slow down your chord changes when you are showing how to play a song, just a request for us that are having difficulties and thank you for what you are doing here it is very much appreciated- may God Bless you and your family

[@MOAB-UT]

This is a fun trick to casually play. IMO it's also super important for people to understand that those 6 fingerings exist within a scale pattern e.g., minor pentatonic. Add another 6 fingerings to this and you will have the entire first shape of the minor pentatonic scale pattern that you can use over and over again (fundamentals and context is king!) You should do a video on scales next and incorporate this into it. All good stuff- thanks for sharing and keep them coming! Showing the piano on the tablet was a great way to show the notes and sharps/flats! Nice guitar too BTW!

[@Peter-rl4nc]

Hi Matt, I always found it hard learning to solo when told solo over the key of the song so now you have shown me something about that, over A chord the 5th fret and so on many thanks

[@CountrySongTeacher]

great! glad i can help!

[@arkansasdave3645]

I’m a beginner and I’ve been being taught by a guy who is really good and super cool. Sometime I just don’t get it. That’s when I look at videos like yours and makes it all come together. Thanks man.

[@GriffinBenchmark]

Man! This video is refreshing to me! It's so nice to see someone else struggle a bit. Lifetime subscriber here man! Great video!

[@bitsiblesson2240]

Though you are slow in soloing but you have taught something that which even the fastest couldn't do . Thanks sir

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Thanks bro!

[@jamiejones1035]

Enjoyed this one . I really learned a lot. I always looking for someone to explain Theory and Scales in an easy to understand method. Spot on Man!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Same!! More to come!

[@cherryann966]

You are an amazing teacher your videos have helped me a lot and I will love to see more videos like this one. Thank you keep up the good work, God bless you richly.

[@Iamdylanbanks]

You have taught me so many songs brotha! I love your song lessons a lot! A lot of guitar teachers on KZbin get really complicated, you make it easy for everyone to learn! I play along with you when I’m trying to learn songs and you just make it easy. Hope you had a great thanksgiving, god bless!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Camo Man Outdoors awesome! Thanks brother!

[@daleredding7520]

Thanks for the lesson, the way you related the piano note to the guitar really opened my eyes. I have looked at that before but never made the connection. Thanks.

[@Jadestee]

I would enjoy learning some solo techniques along with your four cord videos. I love your videos and have helped me alot. Thank you for what you do and God bless!

[@ronaldsmith4257]

Your lesson was very useful.I am practicing.I don't ever play at the lower neck of the guitar and now u show me a start

[@petesimmons7925]

Great video please do a little more of this type of instruction. Love you song instructions keep up the great work! God Bless You

[@fattboyzz1355]

One cool thing to note is ,that your D scale is actually within the A. Where you are starting in the A scale is the D note . 5th fret , 2nd string .. :0)... This is certainly a great way to get players interested in some scale work ! .. Gr8 job brother 🙋🙋🙋

[@dalecash8997]

Thanks, those were some very beneficial tips for a beginning guitar picker !

[@doneforyouservices3601]

really enjoyed this lesson. I have been trying to learn more about emplimenting scales into playing along with open chords Sure hope you continue these types of lessons. Thanks for all you do & God bless you & your family.

[@pauljones4871]

Cool I can see it works out well, can't wait to give it a try, thanks

[@robklem8572]

I like this video A LOT! Thanks for this. I’m definitely working on it his week!

[@toddbriley7197]

I like this new version of your lesson. Fun to just mess around sometime. Thanks, keep it coming.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Thanks Todd!

[@hiramsanchez311]

Thanks for all the videos! I recently picked up an acoustic guitar and I’ve been watching all your videos! So far you taught me how to play like combs best of me and Green Day good riddance! I personally enjoy the song videos because I feel great when I learn a full song that I can play for my wife and friends! With that said, videos like these are great because they help me actually learn cords and notes and more about fundamentals! I’m still having a hard time with strumming techniques my hands keep getting confused.. any tips?

[@garasc1]

Great Video, good tip. Griff Hamlin has a good program for blues. Thanks for posting.

[@matthewnewton8485]

I enjoy learning something new and lead guitar helps to give some variety to my repratuar. I've learned country and gospel doings from you so keep on with some lead guitar lessons and throw some blue grass in there. After all the Lord loves variety and so do we. Thanks Matt

[@TANIALG_]

This was so very helpful. I’m so glad you were in my recommendations because I’ve been learning how to do this but many other videos were just too long and not to the point. I love yours.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

huge! thanks!

[@mthoodfire]

Very cool, thanks for taking the time to show us some stuff.

[@mthoodfire]

Great video also btw...

[@TimGarrisonMusic]

Love this man! This will help my playing style and give me a little variety. Thanks!

[@daveycooper4336]

He is very happy that he learned the notes on the neck.... I understand what he's talking about..... After you learn that playing becomes so much easier

[@jackhoman8887]

Yes very helpful. I liked that Sweet Home intro also. You know more than you think, I think. Thanks

[@pauljohnson2372]

Good lesson. So much more than a scale, you taught me the neck. Thank you

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome Paul!

[@dangrcat]

Dude! finally someone broke it down in a way beginners can understand!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

you know this!

[@music1997able]

Very awesome!! Thanks for the lesson! Start working on this, this weekend!!

[@billharden357]

Steve Stine guitar lessons... Matt he teaches a lot on solos and scales ECT: I have picked up several tips there. Don’t worry your still my favorite you Tuber!!!

[@OGPokey151]

Steve Stine is the man!!!

[@Thuderhorsellc]

This made several concepts fall into place for me, a beginner. I would like to see an easy set of 3 or 4 songs we could learn and then raise the bar a bit for the next one. It would help with goal setting and focus as I tend to bounce from concept or song to the next without becoming good at any. I know that I am not the only one that could use a goal based roadmap. Thanks for all and I look forward to what is next.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Yes!! Thanks bud!

[@robertfrench9353]

Hey many thanks for making where to solo depending on what chord you are playing it now makes sense to me as I am trying to learn how to solo nice one

[@SWFlowseeker]

I enjoyed the beginner stuff. Thx. I’m still working on strumming simple patterns.

[@markwhitchurch4521]

Thanks Mighty Matt. Easy way to make it look like you know how to play up the neck.

[@throughthestorm3852]

Brother, I took two years in junior high, and have been playing on and off since then. I’m 51 now and I just discovered this trick last week. (I just discovered music theory last year 😢) Im getting on the ball, and I learning along with you. I hope I can play on my church’s worship team one of these days. 😅 Please make more tutorials.

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Will do!!

[@graciellaaddosings]

Thank you so much cos I was struggling but watching your videos has really helped

[@larrysmith5637]

I like to thank you I just started trying for so long but your videos have help so much and with the F chord that's been hard for me and the new F you showed man did it make a big change . Thank You

[@CountrySongTeacher]

You're very welcome!

[@williamshelley8841]

Thanks I been playing for a while, but I've never seen one of your videos. But the part about how to match up the chord to scale. That actually helped me out. Thank you and God bless.

[@kevin8041]

Absolutely love your videos man!! Now I have even more reason to watch!! I have been drumming for most of my life but with 2 new little ones running around it's a little harder to play them like I used to. I picked up the guitar in September and am having a blast learning all kinds of tunes with you! As for learning scales among many other new skills I find "Marty Music", and "Justin Guitar" extremely helpful! Much love from my family to yours! Peace!

[@brandonallen1997]

U make it so much easier to learn. Thank u!!!

[@afriendtoleanon3401]

Steve Stine and marty schwartz both teach a lot on scales and soloing ! Steve has some free theory lessons that are great . Also when soloing you can stay in the scale of the key of the song you dont have to change but you can change . You can slide in between 3r and fifth fret . Hammer from 3 to 5 or pull off to 3 from 5 on the g string you can play open 3 then 5 . i recommend making a copy of all 5 positions of the pent scale memorize them slide back and forth . Now look at position 1 of the scale the back side of the scale is the beginning notes of position 2 they interlock . 2 interlocks with 3 3 with 4 4 with 5 5 with 1 . Play over a backing track . Have fun

[@garymanning8920]

Yes both those guys are outstanding...Stine really knows his theory and can explain it well.

[@stevel6943]

Steve Stine is great. Marty is not a natural musician but hats off he's out there doing it.

[@Suzane67]

Amazing, finally figured out the scales through you, I’d like to have more melody tutorials please songs like wildwood flowers and if I needed you

[@petercope3263]

man you one of the few folks left in this world that aint afraid to show others what they really need to know , good to meet a genuine guy interested in helping others . subbed .

[@russellnewton6660]

Simply explained to a theory simpleton, thank you .

[@LosingDrea]

I love your videos. Have a few guitars but just got a cool piano and now looking forward to your piano videos and teaching CDs also. Your awesome, love your energy!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

awesome! Glad I can help and I appreciate that kind feedback!

[@user-st5no9sl5c]

Cool beans, you just taught me more today than I have learned in years of trying to play this thing. Just wish that I could sing to my playing..Thanks again..

[@jefdharma1655]

Brother thank you for this video. It was like a missing piece to the puzzle that is my guitar playing. God Bless!

[@caseyhowell5492]

I’m retired military, the old saying “keep it simple stupid” just struck a chord yet again!! 😁. You are the man for taking us non-rockers to school at a simple yet effective manner!

[@jameswilliford5478]

Thanks for this...one of the few lessons I've found that is basic enough for me not to try to over think this, very helpful to me. I'm thinking you can also make a D cord closer to the 10th fret so you don't have to jump so far to hit that lick.....also may sound a little better with the cord being closer to the pitch of the lick...I'm a beginner so not sure on this, still trying to put things together slowly...lol.

[@jamesgillmore694]

Great lesson. A note to all beginners... When wanting to learn to solo you will use alot of pentotonic scales played over the rhythm. So if you use a G chord as the starting of a song then the song is in the key of G major... With that said the appropriate pentotonic scale to use ( according to music theory) is the G major pentotonic. This scale is made up of the following...Xst being string number and(X-X) being fret position... 6th(3-5), 5th(2-5), 4th(2-5) 3rd(2-4), 2nd(3-5), 1st(3-5).

Another great video my friend! Playing lead isn't really any more difficult than rhythm but if it isn't something you are used to it can be difficult. Using the C major as an example was a great starting point as was the basic explanation of the 12 notes in music. Once people understand that western music only has 12 notes in total it makes things much less intimidating. Keep doing what you do!!!!

[@Diasporaliving]

CountrySongTeacher -This was simple was...but it was extremely useful. Much obliged! Cheers, Dave

[@bigcheems6948]

DUDE! I never understood what these scales meant until you applied the piano theory 🙏🏽 God Bless I’m so excited to throw this in to my songs

[@Doowopsid]

Another great video. Thank you for this and loved your lesson of Your Love by Outfield!

[@jamesjackson7378]

I really appreciate this particular video, I've just started playing guitar, 1st week beginner and you were able to give information and knowledge in this video that really helped me to understand the music theory. Thanks for the video, you got a new subscriber.

[@vickiemoore8558]

I’m a total beginner and I love your lessons
