50 years playing guitar, this is the first time I've seen this laid out so clearly!

[@YHWHsCrusader]

I was hoping to learn this in 5 seconds.

[@firstlast1357]

It must be the age, :-)

[@kenkelly382]

Been playing for a long time and I'm with the person who commented" it was like a light bulb going off". You just made it all click. Wish I saw this 20 yrs ago. Great Job.

[@GuitarfiendIII]

Dudes dog is lookin' at hime like "who the fuck are you talkin' to ?????? He,he.

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

The dog on the left understood the lesson. The right one looked a bit absent.

[@naciamaJYute]

Dog on the left will be great guitar player one day. Very attentive :-). Great lesson!

[@margatestado4514]

DRH hahahah

[@bubundas5386]

😂

[@benchmarks1016]

You mean on the right

[@summitsparrow]

This is the most helpful video I've seen for navigating the fretboard by far.

[@keytaarkeytaar4665]

Very useful video. Thanks. For those that don't get 1,4,5, those numbers are the location of major chords and 2,3,6 are the location of minor chords in a Major Scale. Example: in C major scale (CDEFGAB = 123456), C=1 (C Mjor chord), D=2 (D min chord), E=3 (E min chord), F=4 (F Major chord), G=5 (G Major chord), A=6 (A min chord), and B=6 (B Diminished Chord). Hope this adds to the helpfulness of this great video.

[@ynothughes]

This is the best/simplest explanation I've ever heard. Your chord explanations with Marty Schwartz's penatonic explanations is all any beginner needs to be a complete guitarist.

[@machrx5]

This is literally gold. The best of the best explanation of something nobody could explain clearly. Thank you so much man.

[@Kawamanimes]

Anyone here didn't give a damn about the dogs, and learned a lot from this lesson ?

[@BigBenH18]

Me! ;-)

[@paddyboyfoots]

I've been taking lessons for 6 years and I'm sure "It's only because of that" I was able to, finally understand completely. I think you have to FIRST understand "bar chord logic"....that is, understanding how to chord a 1,4,5 on both the 6th string and the 5th string.GREAT LESSON but I think it should be in the "intermediate" category. However, you explained yourself very well. THANKS SO MUCH

[@3wGaming]

I gave a damn and learned alot

[@sidedishfriend]

I gave all the damns and learnt a lot

[@EricPerkinsMusic]

THIS IS AMAZING. I have needed this lesson for so long. It is literally like a light bulb came on after watching this. Forever changed now. THANK YOU!!!!

[@paddyboyfoots]

Right on Eric...Me too. It eventually comes down to patterns doesn't it! Great stuff. I got that same light bulb turned on today.

[@ColeKiburz]

This was truly one of the most helpful guitar tutorials I've ever seen. This single lesson opens so many doors--thanks so much for making it! I just subscribed :)

[@SelectHawk]

I've been a subscriber for a while, and I am honestly shocked that you don't get more views. I don't even play the genres of music that you usually teach and I only play your finger style arrangements for the challenge, but your lessons and advice are so solid that you are easily among my favorite online teachers. It is too bad that you don't seem to reach a wider audience.

[@funkcrewbandonly1]

I just want to thank you Mr. LickNRiff for this. Although i been playing for awhile, sometimes i could use a different formula from other guitarist. You explained yourself very well for me and for anybody thats just learning the guitar.

[@williampereira8868]

Wow you make it so simple and easy thank you. teacher will take months to teach what you just did in 20 min and confusing

[@TheGuyzShowpohomh]

My favorite part is the Chihuahua licking the guitar! Oh... and this was helpful!

[@36erotras]

I've spent a lot of time listening to lessons online and via DVD. Been playing for about 7 years. You are my favorite instructor for many reasons, not the least of which is you have your dogs with you when you're teaching :) Great lesson among many great lessons. Many thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge in a friendly, knowledgeable way.

[@zunamorphunit6411]

Fantastic lesson, easy to understand. Been playing by ear for years but now I'm trying to fill in all the theory that I never picked up on. Stuff like this makes it so easy to learn. Thank you!

[@alexanderblzrd1634]

Oh, man, I can't thank you enough for this lesson. That is exactly what I've been looking for.

[@johnindelicato4620]

Finally the lesson I've been looking for! Thank you times a million!

[@walking0815]

nice! What about "How to find the chords of any song in 5 seconds"? Would be really appreciated!

[@vickymar3836]

title says "how to find in 5 secs" not "how to find chords,in 5 secs"... punctuations bro!

[@yianniskrompas]

Man you rock. You are the teacher I missed in childhood. Thank you thank you thank you

[@leemcvay8206]

This unlocked everything for me. Thanks for all of the videos. You rock.

[@ptyeueiiwjd]

the dogs are like "this guy needs to shut the fuck up" lmao

[@vishruthbyaramadul7219]

I just became a huge fan of yours!! Seriously, no one does these lessons for free.. Im going to guitar classes from 2 years and he never thought me all these. Whenever i used to ask something, he used to tell me that he will teach me later.. I was pissed off and i started searching lessons online and i ended on write video.. Im still a kid, i dont have money to donate but when i do, i will surly search for you n donate.. Thank you

[@HuyNguyen-xo4sk]

[@ramv1564]

i have been playing guitar since many years but this lesson has been so useful in demystifying the fretboard and imagining the chord structures. It is confusing right now but I guess with regular practice it should become a second nature. Thanks for the lesson.

[@denishshukla6789]

that left hand side...dog is just amazing

[@mannyr1709]

You are A GENIUS brother!!! God bless you! Awesome tutorial. Just what I was looking for

[@BRGustavoal]

Man, this was the best lesson ever! Not kidding! You have no idea how this is going to help me on my music theory test next week! Thanks A L-O-T!

[@sandradee888]

This was so great that I had to bookmark it for later because my head just exploded.

[@robshort2000]

Thank you for this explanation - this really filled in a missing piece of the puzzle for me. Well done!

[@arunava4982]

You are so good man...Real thing you r showing to the world.. Appreciate you

[@andreramos773]

The dog on the left is really paying attention! He's so interested in music theory :) thank you for your lessons! very interesting and useful

[@hudson24NY]

Your teaching approach is simple and understandable. Thumbs up bro!

[@richcou9474]

This is the lesson every beginer specialy those who have no teacher to tell them the basic teory i am a beginer have 1 hour class per week with a teacher and i stil find this very helpful, now i see the whole picture. Thx a lot !

[@alvarjamesmccann9068]

Great Video. Love the Dogs! the one on the left looks really interested, the one on the right is waiting for his treats

[@rockabillylaker]

Excellent little trick. I've been playing the major scale to find the other chords. I knew the 1 4 5, just too lazy to learn the 2, 3 6 chords. But, it's essential if I want to improve my rockabilly/jazz playing.

[@KabooM1067]

This is a gem of a lesson.

[@ThePatooch]

the best lesson i have had yet to quickly learn to play any song i have got the gist of that on the first time and thats all im going to do till it has sunk into my brain, in my opinion the best lesson on the web for beginners who can play barring chords thanks a bundle mate

[@POgitara]

Perfect explanation discovering simplicity of any key chords. Thanks for sharing!

I already play good guitar, I understand and, use all these techniques.Actually very well done my friend. I just couldn't take my eyes off the Chihuahua. The dog is a natural born star. Once again, one guitarist, to another. Very good teaching, good creative common sense. Have a great day.

[@nigeldcruz7803]

most useful lesson for beginners like me, u saved a lot of my time :D thanx & keep up d good work..xD

[@earGuitar]

Excellent explanation. I've been playing forever and still get it mixed up, the rule of 3 frets up or down helps. I dig the little dog in the background watching and listening intently. I notice the Takamine, I just spent about 400 bucks to have one that I bought new and cheap set up, and the tuners replaced with adult tuners. Mine were that black plastic and they kept breaking. Yours has adult tuners. Peace.

[@claudiotormen759]

Thank you very much! great video, very useful.

[@AllIndiaPermitVlogs]

awesome video sir, i clearly understood everythingh..made many thingh a lot easier for me :) thanks a lot :)

[@chrischan2815]

I love your tutoring and dogs!
