EVERYTHING about INTERVALS - What they are and how to use them ON THE GUITAR

[@leemus1966]

Just found your channel, subscribed, ordered both of your books, and marathon watching all of your lessons. You are the best teacher that I have found. I have played for 40 years and am finally learning the WHY and REASONs of music theory, and beautifully explained for a self taught musician like myself. Very much appreciate what you’re doing, please keep doing these awesome lessons!

[@willmetz_music]

Thank you!!

[@andersestes]

1. You are a great teacher. It's not enough to have the knowledge, it's a whole other's thing to be able to communicate that knowledge, in a way that makes sense to a beginner. Rick Beato is very knowledgeable, but I can't follow his train of thought regarding musical theory. 2. You have great pace, prenounciation and articulation. Makes it enjoyable and easy to catch what you are saying. 3. Love that you are no nonsense, background music, shouting, gimmicks and so on. I'm a 43 year old, selftaught guitarist. Tried different ways to understand theory. None of them as effective as you are. Keep up the good work 😊

[@willmetz_music]

Comments like yours are what keep me going. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want some personalized training or in person tips.

Thank you Guillaume .... I am very impressed by the way you teach your lessons. I have purchased both of your books and I am studying both right now. I could not help but briefly skip ahead to the second book as I study the first. I really do appreciate your teaching methods. You are a great instructor. Keep up the great work!!

Really amazing , fully watched and will re watch 🙏

Frickin awesome! - like with the camels and everything - context. You are a superb teacher. The analogy with colours on a painter's palette etc. What an excellent way to help understand intervals etc - truly inspiring!

[@mrunit7261]

I've been playing all my life and even at my advanced age and years on the instrument, I still have troube hearing disodents. Your video has given me a glimmer of hope of learning or "hearing" these guys. Thanks a lot for putting this out there. Its now obvious to me that I have completely missed this 'training' at my earliest beginnings into guitar and I now have to go back to the beginning. In short, I simpy have to quit memorizing passages and start picking them from the air. Again, thanks!

[@brianleechee]

As a teacher and KZbinr, myself, trying to grow my channel, and establish myself as a source for players to find valuable information, I love your presentation, pacing and clarity in the way you teach! I observed that so many teachers speak in a way where its almost as if they assume you can keep up with the jargon. But for beginners and intermediate players, certain concepts can go right over their heads! I like to present info in a very similarly digestible way as you! Clear, steady and full of practical examples! I really appreciated this video, the way you present your info and have subscribed :) Would it be crazy to ask if you'd check out some of my stuff, network a little, and possibly get a critique on my teaching style as I'm just starting off? Amazing work!

[@willmetz_music]

[@loafieshenu]

If, say a diminished 5th is relative or the same as an augmented 4th, how would you know which one to use for it?

[@willmetz_music]

The context determines it. Which is why you need to keep learning theory deeper to shine light on those nuances. That would be like asking: “when would you use 3-1 or 1+1? Since they equal the same. Depends on the problem you are solving and the story or context behind the calculation.

[@guydidgo-co5419]

Is minor sixth and augmented fifth the same thing?

Not really else they wouldn’t have two different names. They refer to the same distance between two notes though.

[@anthonygainsford1893]

Hi and thanks. I see where you are going with your teaching and, you are very engaging, however, I also fully understand the comments you have here written. So to sum up=it’s not what you know: it’s how your pupils learn. First stage in teaching how to teach. My business speciality and, love.

Thank you!! That means a lot

[@Paramiafiglia]

So in your additional note a b2 is a minor second, a bb2 is a diminished 2nd, and a b5 is a diminished 5th - I just want to ask you to confirm please as my head is bubbling away and I don’t get the logic tbh. 😢

[@willmetz_music]

Did you still find some time to play when you took up an engineering degree?

Actually like the content and presented well. however Look up the definition of interval, whether in music or not definition still doesn't change. I'm a big stickler I'm not changing established and empirical definitions

[@Rexycat60]

Thank you, I was going to bring up the same point.

[@FlaschDJ]

You have more faith than I do of KZbin’s potential as a teaching medium. A perfect stranger (you) hopes I’ll devote 90 minutes to him. I’ll instead follow your example of being self-taught.

[@Leah-wl7te]

I hear your passion and your enthusiasm and your context is spot on but your intro before you get into it is a tad long . Just thought I would be honest cause I feel that you deserve more veiws . Thank you for great lesson.

[@_s827]

I gave up after a while even though I'm interested in this topic. I think most people who know what intervals are don't need to be convinced that they need to study them nor that they need to actually study the guitar. This desperately needed editing

A major 2nd and a minor 2nd are both one whole step. Correct?

I believe a minor 2nd which is also referred to as flat (b) 2 or b9 in more advanced understanding is a half step not a whole step.

@@34rn357 there is an art to criticism. Especially when criticizing hour long free content. Or you could just skip the intro. Many ways to not be rude and still get ones point across.

[@brain2save]

Thank you for wonderful teaching, however, I think very detailed explanation loses the student attention. It took 14 minutes and 44 seconds to start hearing what intervals are! I would take the same video and trim it and call it intermediate and the original video the very beginners students/audience. Throughout the video I had to constantly fast forward to get the punchline. Other than this, I believe your knowledge is very much needed. Thank you 😊 🙏

[@BenjaminIdle]

You are seriously suggesting that a video be re edited because there was a portion that didn't pertain to specifically you? The video even has titled chapters, which makes it even easier for you to tailor your viewing experience to meet your particular needs. This comment is baffling.

[@BenjaminIdle]

I need to come across comments like this though because it's important to be presented with opportunities to practice patience with others. I failed.

Don’t worry… it takes all my willpower sometimes haha

[@BenjaminIdle]

@willmetz_music I'm watching your caged masterclass video for the first time right now, and early in the video, you respond to people complaining about the length of your videos. I have been using KZbin to learn or improve a handful of skills over the past couple of years (woodworking, coding, animating, guitar/bass/trombone) and I have to tell you that you are a legitimate beacon of hope. There's such an overwhelming amount of pulp / empty content effectively bottlenecking the algorithm. You are the real deal. A legitimate teacher. Thank you homie
