This was one of the best lessons I've come across in my 10 year learning period!

Can you give me your opinion why? Im struggling hard with this.

@@damiansaucedo9951 you cant catch up by watching this because you cant see his hand.. maybe..

[@allgoodthingsintheworld6009]

I’m agree, me too

[@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517]

Yep, it's great but I've already figured this myself in my 15 years of playing. It's a good feel. ;}

[@BobCorraro]

Totally agree

[@conceptcurator]

I honestly believe you are the very best virtual guitar instructor there is. Hands down the most digestible videos out there.

[@ponceponce4431]

This is the most Criminally Underrated guitar channel available. Very tasty licks by the way.

[@parkerevans1356]

I feel like his content is aimed towards more advanced playing techniques, and most people that play guitar don’t make it this far unfortunately.

[@skintslots]

I agree. I am a relative rookie,about a year of playing and instruction,and these things are beyond my level but I figure that if I can improve my knowledge by understanding 5 or 10 percent after watching its a big plus. Then when I rewatch I can learn a bit more each time. Not everybody views this type of content this way though.

[@cherian5700]

@@skintslots ^This is the way to do it. Practice your intervals, your chords, and your fretboard memorization. Whenever you're tired with guitar, switch to ear training, and your playing will get better significantly faster. I suggest an app called Perfect Ear for your ear training. It's free, and has numerous intervals for you to start memorizing. One day and a time, and you'll be good bud 👍🏾

[@---yx7ti]

@@cherian5700 I'm a month and a week into learning to play fellas, and my hands will not allow me to play any of these changes. However, like BoracicLint said - I can use this to improve my knowledge and little by little try to build on these sorts of things. Though I am far from where I'd like to be, I am determined, and believe if I persist and dont give up I may one day reach my potential

Any day fretjam uploads a video is a good day , a lot more stuff to look at and study. I love it!! Ty

[@louiscapra1621]

Watched alot of FretJam and have learned different insights into the fretboard others don't provide.

[@llwonder]

This is the lesson I’ve always needed but never had. Thanks.

[@acen4045]

it's insane how dense this lesson is with content, all easily understandable and it's FREE

[@korayem]

I was literally stuck in my guitar journey. I know chords and scales and how they intertwine, but when I improv, I am either playing scale or chord exclusively. I wanted a way to have seamless transitions between the two modes of playing... and thank heavens, this video popped up on my youtube :) Thank you!

[@egoillusion5734]

Lucky are the one who see this tutorial videos very intelligent perfect n understandable. Last 30 yrs ago when I first play guitar it does not exist this kind of help.

[@michaeldavid1198]

Always love seeing a new Fretjam video come through the ole feed

Your timing on this video is perfect Mike. This is where my practice is currently at. Thank you sir!!!

[@TheAkdzyn]

Thank you. Best guitar tutorials ever!!!

[@JohnnyMacaw]

Great Lesson! Also, knowing the caged system helps make these triads easy

[@taojones]

Wow just what I needed, thank you for all your time and knowledge.

[@teachmeguitar4149]

This is great info for me. Thanks a ton. I really respect that you teach what every other youtube teacher puts behind a paywall. Greatly appreciated.

[@micklbx9125]

Very nice , clear , and precise ! Great job ;)

[@renardojones8325]

this lesson is one of the most useful 12 minutes of my guitar life. Have always wanted to know how to do that and this definitely provides the base for that knowledge. well done

[@maverick2671]

This one video took my playing to a level I've been aspiring to get to. As another member said, you have the best channel hands down!!! Thank you for this.

[@caliskaterdrummer]

Okay bro. You’re pretty much the best music teacher. Much love ❤️

[@camcam297]

Your videos are the most helpful with anything guitar related. The quality and production of them is incomparable, and always provide hours and hours of things I can practice (and just having a lot of fun) for me. Recently I've been trying to understand chord melody and wasn't going anywhere but after this video I finally feel like I have something that I can start on!!!! I just want to finish this by saying I'm extremely grateful for the lessons you put out. They've been the backbone of learning things since I started playing, and I wouldn't know as much as I do now without them. Thank you for helping ignite a burning passion for playing the guitar, and for helping me really learn how to express my self and my feelings. I appreciate every single thing that you do for your videos. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cromanea]

This is one gem of a channel I found today❤

[@Shindigish]

By far the best lessons on you tube. I've been playing for over 40 years and learn something new each time

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Same here. Been playing and teaching for 4 decades now, and love this channel. You may like _MusicTheoryForGuitar_ and _Late Night Lessons_ too. Those are my other favorites. kzbin.info/door/RwIF4NhKQf6tQpnYDcSC5A kzbin.info/door/nCL5AYMIBcaR8lhNP6OdOQ

[@christophermball]

Very well presented. I feel like this content scratches the precise itch I've been having about how to more easily think about voicings that sound smooth (as opposed to disjointed) and match the melody positions more easily.

[@bassorbass4988]

By far the best guitar teacher on KZbin. I’m a bassist that is jumping into guitar and your lessons are invaluable. Great content!

[@goryburk]

All of your lessons are outstanding. I've wanted to learn how you use triads for harmonies and melodies. You've shown how to do it in a way that is easy to understand. I've also enjoyed your minor, harmonic and melodic scales lessons immensely.

[@slimbohernandez2827]

Thank you. This was a great vid that helped me visualize what is happening when chord melody playing. Before it seemed so impossible.
