[@jaumegost]

[@berryliu5288]

totally agree!

[@sea-saw2654]

Jaume Gost me too..

[@basti_marr]

Dude I have learnt more in 30 minutes watching your videos than all these years wandering in different channels, I love you

[@T0PSTER63]

Learning basic music theory is so easy with you Steve , i thought i was to old to start learning ,54, but the way you teach is simple to follow and understand , if I'm not sure i just watch it again until i have it , practice , then move on , thank you !

[@gooscooby5988]

Hi Steve, brilliant , your short videos have taught me more in 15 minutes than I have learnt in years of reading books and listening to others. Thank you so much.

[@signmanmatt]

I'm 57 and just started playing the guitar! I wasn't going to give up, but I wasn't making much progress until I found your videos. I watched you Music Theory for Life #1 #2 #3 #4 - Those accelerated my learning so much! Thank You! And then it really helped me understand this video too. I can't understand why this video isn't over a million views yet? It's so valuable. Please continue to teach!

[@frankaq3951]

Hey Steve, I've recently discovered your channel, and I am learning so much. You're method of teaching is fantastic. I wish you had been around when I first started playing guitar. Keep up the great work! Thanks, man.

[@Cam_B]

You are seriously the best guitar teacher on KZbin. No lie, man. Thanks for your videos!

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you so much! Guitarzoom

[@guitarman123456789]

Agreed, I’ve been playing for about 25 years and FINALLY some of this theory stuff is making sense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I’ve always been a solid rhythm player of other people’s songs, but I’ve made it my renewed goal to become proficient at soloing, so I’m learning the ins and outs of the major scale and watching lots of theory. Brother, you make more sense than anybody I’ve seen. Thank you again. Now, I’ve just got to figure out how to adjust when those dang chords change during my solo! 😝🤣

[@zazzleman]

you are a great teacher. Your passion for music and need to reach out and teach others really comes through.

[@markjarvis3984]

[@paologarro724]

Really want to thank you Steve....your lessons are not only crystal clear but also highly valuable!

[@chuckm9603]

absolutely amazing way too learn and visualize the fretboard. I knew the 1 4 5, but really didn't know how to use it other than power chords or open chords, so a really eye opener for me. I was the same way trying too get all the info I could about playing and learning guitar, going 10 different directions and have a bunch of stuff in my head that I can't apply too the fretboard, but after reviewing this a few times and putting it on a chart so it can soak in, I get it now, so my barre chords need a lot of practice and can put them too use. I have been playing about 5 yrs. started playing at 54 yrs. old, I took some private lessons at first and I had some of your stuff from your beginners course and showed it too my instructor and he wanted more, that says a lot about your teachings. Thank you

[@mattdoliver1984]

Well I never, when someone puts it out to you in layman’s terms like you have and not over confuses things .....it’s actually really easy to learn. That actually went in my head, thanks man

[@kevinamagada8139]

You are so awesome Steve. I've learned so much since I started watching your videos. You explain music theory and how to apply it to the guitar perfectly. My fretboard will never look the same again (for the better). Keep on doing what your doing. I'm having a great time with the guitar and your videos. It's like you were born to teach this!

[@SneakyDSP]

I keep looking for new perspectives all the time, but no matter what, I always come back to you to really understand in a practical way. I never had a music teacher, but I can definitely say you are the closest to what I call my music teacher haha

[@sphilip8366]

Super! Well explained! Simply explained! King of guitar tutors!!

[@mfst100]

That was well spent 12 minutes of my life. Thank you for this lesson. I don't even have to watch it again to remember it and understand it all.

[@Guitarzoom]

Great, thank you!

[@mingmingch3322]

Hey,man I am struggling with the gap of language,and have to surmount the language barrier.I need to watch the video once and once. 😰

[@gbadeboolawuyi1384]

Steve! You ve taught me what has got me stocked for more than 2 years in my guitar pursuit in less than 15mins....Thanks a bunch!

[@andrewmcnaughten4959]

wow! Ive studied the major modes and ive studied the major scale a lot in general so this is a perfect addition to my knowledge. Thanks for sharing! A ton of things you can do with this!

[@neilsthepoet]

Knowledge.... excellent Delivery... excellent Great little humble humor thrown in

[@dktice7011]

Steve you really have a true gift for teaching. Your method is very straight forward without unnecessary banter which for me helps me to focus on what you are trying to convey. Great Job!

[@lorcamusic]

Thanks so much, been looking for something like this for yonks!

[@Guitarzoom]

Awesome!

[@bigzepfan2]

Ok I have a major man-guitar-crush on this dude! First after 30 years of fu@king up scales, he taught me how to master them on a Saturday afternoon. I was blown away with this man's teaching concept. SO EASY and now after all the years of practicing, I am FINALLY PLAYING THANKS TO THIS DUDE! I am becoming a shred demon. Now I have watched this video 5 times and have improved my chord change and improv by LEAPS and BOUNDS. I actually impressed myself (which has never happened in guitar) jamming on some chord riffs! STEVE, THANK YOU!!

[@keithtpc1508]

What a great teacher, so many of us miss these simple basics and make playing the instrument so much more difficult for ourselves.

[@JokerTheBailbondsman]

This is the dopest video ever. I know how to play the guitar and I have a slight knowelege of music theory but this helped elevate my musical IQ times ten

[@nickbrouwer9643]

Wonderful lesson again. Never understood it so well! Thank you!

[@imanidioli]

All best routes in learning guitar returns to your channel man!

[@raydarvishi4805]

You are an excellent teacher! I salute you. Thank you!

[@thelivingxp]

You are the one I was searching..... You are incomparable.

[@00xanawolf00]

+Guitarzoom.com Steve, your free lessons here on KZbin are an absolute godsend. Like most guitarists, money is always tight with me. But I will say this: Thanks to the amazing free lessons you've generously provided to students all over the world, I WILL be spending some of my hard-won cash on your online lessons. You're just an amazing teacher, and you have a gift for taking difficult theory concepts and breaking them down in a way that's really easy for me to understand. Your Absolute Fretboard Mastery series on KZbin changed my life, and if I had you back when I first started... I can only imagine where I'd be right now. So THANK YOU for being so generous with the free, amazing lessons. You've earned yourself a loyal student.

[@Jxnnk]

Steve this lesson literally just blew my mind. I’ve been playing for a bit now and haven’t really ever thought of it like this. Thanks!

[@bhchen]

So appreciated for your sharing your valuable guitar knowledge with the public. You are definitely THE best tutor!!! Please keep it up.. :)

[@Tac0caT0]

As a jazz guitar player that has learned chord forms to match a key, rhythm, etc... this is so outstanding. Memorizing chord forms, and arpeggiating from them this one thing. Knowing where and why tones go is another. Hombre breaks all of this trial and error down into understandable bits and pieces. Soo good. Soo informative. I don’t care if you can name every note on a guitar neck, Stine breaks it down into bite sized chunks😊

[@blade123able]

This is a brilliant lesson, been playing years and never sussed this. Cheers for the lesson Steve, keep em coming

[@johndough7224]

Best teacher online....hands down. I'm learning the "Play blues now" course and theory is my next course. Thanks Steve.

[@tomasmandler2133]

Ahhhhhh thank you!!!! Thats what I was looking for right now. Wohooo :) Great video, it opens up my mind. You are a great teacher Steve, its nice to hear you talk even about "boring" theory.

[@ranchordas4650]

best lesson of all the guitar lessons available out there. thank u so much.

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you! Steve

[@Cam_B]

Man you are the best guitar teacher! You simplify things into an easy to understand way. If only KZbin was around with these videos when I was learning guitar. I'd be such a badass at guitar by now.

[@RevJohnDixonII]

Excellent video, great teacher. makes things easy to understand

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you! Guitarzoom

[@johnzicari]

Peace love and guitars. sir! You are a gifted teacher! Thank you!

[@fog9358]

ur videos are so enlightening i was a trumpet player all through out jr high and high school so i had basic music theory down but your helping me bring myself to a whole new level of not only understanding theory but my guitar playing. thanks steve keep em coming

[@insatchelitisbaggins157]

ive watched so many videos and people r so confusing but this mann rocks finally everything has clicked for me because of this video GREATLY APPRECIATED

[@doubleohdutch2108]

Thanks to Steve I am learning to play the guitar at 47. So far, the best teacher I have ever had. Thanks!!

[@chrisdrinkwater4539]

Hands down the best teacher on youtube

[@widol45]

I agree. Have had several instructors, all could play but had no idea how to teach because they lacked a linear format. Guitar playing begs you to learn theory in order to understand and get it right. You can't break (expand ) the rules till you know them! Thanks Steve and continue on.

[@raynator6908]

Thank you for this video. I just began to play guitar and your videos are the Best way for me to learn . thumbs up for the Best teacher on the net.

[@choobeedog]

Thanks for doing what you do Steve! Your approach and delivery is always really smart sensible and helpful. And I get the sense you honestly want to pass on the art of guitar playing.

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. Glad to know you like the lessons. Any questions feel free to ask anytime!

[@johnx9318]

Spot on, succinct and distilled perfect information. Please enjoy the praise, you have untangled my mind. Thanks.

[@slap2go]

You earned my sub in record time. A big thank you for turning a mass of random theory knowledge I have into something I can use easily.

Go here for details → guitarzoom.com/musictheorymadeeasy20/promo/ Whether you’re just starting out or if you’ve been playing for years, learning music theory can take your playing to the next level. Because you won’t just memorize some chords, or play a scale over and over a hundred times. When you learn music theory, you’ll discover how scales actually work. How scales generate chords. Why some chords sound good together and others don’t. And which notes to play to create the sound you want with your solo. Which means, you’ll truly start to understand how music works. So you can take your guitar playing as well as your songwriting to a whole new level. But the special discount and brand-new bonus courses disappear tonight. Here’s just a few of the bonus courses you get when you order now: ☑️ NEW! Fast Action Bonus #1: Steve Stine Live Lesson Library Vol 1 ☑️ NEW! Fast Action Bonus #2: Unlocking the CAGED System ☑️ NEW!
