Lesson 2 - 4 Ways To Know Your Pitch Patterns

[@EddyGonzalez-f7j]

I have been seeing classes, videos and books for many years about guitar and to be honest, I am really amazed by the way you have to teach all this different concepts that initially sound rare and distant, but you made them closer and common. Thank you so much for this jewels that you let us enjoy.

[@vvalentinee168]

God this guy is so cool, maybe he is not the best guitar player or singer, buy he is definitely one of the best teachers in the world

[@DrymouthCWW]

Agreed!

[@kdubatx1]

You’ve done a real nice job of organizing the information in these first 2 lessons I’ve checked out so far

[@BobGnarley.]

2 episodes in and even though I already know a lot of these basics - can tell this guy is hitting some huge key points in progressing. Am looking forward to learning more

[@jwsorrell]

This is definitely a different approach for learning the guitar. Comparing music to a language is helpful because letters and words are familiar concepts. Think, Read, Hear, and Speak keeps us on familiar turf.

[@FranciscoCostaHideOut]

I'm really enjoying the way you explain this stuff. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Tamralikecamra]

I’m honestly in awe at your abilities to clearly communicate something so BIG. It’s a gift to watch you in action.

[@andy-2842]

That solo with the voice over top made me smile :)

[@jacqueslaframboise84]

These are the best videos I've ever seen in my entire life. You busted out a wicked solo near the end. It was sort of funny hearing you sing along to it but it proved your point perfectly and was quite impressive. Thank you for making these. I am learning so much already.

[@JakeBurgard]

I paid $300 for the dvd set back in 2006. I learned everything from this course. I loaned it to someone and they stole it. I went to buy again now that I have kids and want them to learn the theory I know. I found out the videos are free and had to post Scotty’s channel on Reddit. I’m so elated seeing Scotty’s course get the attention it deserves!

[@abrikos22]

@@JakeBurgard Thank you for posting it on reddit! i went ahead and i bought the book too

[@Zach-ls1if]

This guy cracks me up sometimes with how he says things such as “well there’s some people that speak English that don’t know how to read it, but it’s an awfully tough way to conduct your in society “.

[@lexxbruce]

Well, he is telling the truth.

These are great! A disease with online guitar teachers nowadays is that they deliberately don't explain certain things, because of course for that you have to pay extra out the ass for their all-new deluxe upgraded Patreon whatever bullshit... They know that actually *teaching* their students would deprive them of their grift. This is the exact opposite of that. And it's sorely needed, now more than ever.

[@ORShiTTy]

I’m the Reddit user that introduced Scotty to Reddit almost a year ago. 2006 was when I bought the dvd set. I got them because I wanted to know how music worked. I found his course randomly and took the chance. I did lessons and paid a lot and got nothing. This course was a binge watch for me and I am a VERY competent player now. But the course isn’t magic. You still have to put in a lot of work. You just won’t be lost.

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

@@ORShiTTy whoever you are you've pulled me out of a really dark place. At least I hope. I'm only 2 lessons in and it's underwhelmingly easy so far probably because I've already gone through this level but I can feel like something of substance is coming real soon. Depending on the next few lessons I'll decide whether to buy the material or not because I've made the mistake of hopping on the hype with a certain grifter with over a million subs and the scariest possible hairstyle for his age. Money isn't the issue even though I'm not rich, the feeling of being lost, helpless and scammed hurts beyond measure. Please whatever music gods out there, let this be the one.

[@ORShiTTy]

Scotty’s course is not a scam. It’s a master course in theory - like a years worth of college. But you only get what you put into it. I learned everything from the DVds but I still supplemented concepts with other videos I found. And I spent a lot of time applying the theory knowledge to the guitar. But I was able to understand and compose music much easier after this course. I had a better idea of what I needed to solidify for guitar. It took me a solid 6months to apply the theory to the guitar and I became exceptionally good before the first year was up. It took a lot of dedication. The course won’t give you that. So dive in and keep on trucking.

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

@@ORShiTTy dedication and obsession is all I've got. Can't wait to finish this course in this case!

[@awfullyperson]

I can plsy the guitar and I can play it fairly well, but this course is something I never knew I needed. Im watching with a big smile on my face. Thank you for the tutorials, Scotty. Youre a true gem.

[@dylanroberts4577]

Excellent, I've been playing the guitar for about a year taking weekly private lessons for 6 months, this is just fabulous. Just tried singing along to a jam track... sounds suspiciously like my improvisation (needs work :D)

[@erikkruthoff]

I gotta make myself one of those bucket seats. Then they'll be clapping and throwing money at me in no time.

[@DrymouthCWW]

Only if you've got rhythm ;)

[@stephensmith60]

'Home Depot' has them! No assembly required! 😊

[@lucaslimadellaflora]

Watched on 08/12/2024. Blew my mind, first time that I actually understood the theory. Amazing!

[@grantkoeller8911]

Really great jazzy stuff!!!! I spent 23 years with the USAF bands, as a professional saxophonist. I was hired as a jazz soloist. This guitar course is wonderful.

[@darrylarnez]

This is exactly what I needed. Was stuck with so many book it was a maze. 2 lessons in.and have already honed in on much I didn’t get. Thanks Scotty.

[@maxillariadendrobulum4079]

I bought a guitar as an aspirational purchase, never went anywhere with it, and then sold it. I think I could’ve done a lot more with it with instruction like this.

[@ericschwartz8778]

Thank you! I am so glad I found your site!. Your theory about how to teach music is spot on. You're a great teacher.

[@aslanbekrasulov6761]

I once saw an easy way to remember that there are no sharps or flats in between B, C and E, F. It was a really neat explanation: B-e-C-ause Everything's Fucked. Now I'll never forget it.

Lord Swaminarayan bless you and your family 💕💕🙏👍👌 and your whole Team 🙏👍

[@PaulChaplo]

I’ve had some ear training and theory - and I am really enjoying this overview. Never thought of the logic of tuning in fourths. I can read classical guitar music intermediate level. Here for more ‘understanding.’ I really like the presentation style. I’m teaching myself some pop songs and Bossa Nova - and I wan to learn how to improvise. What do I really need to know? I’m here to find out and I’m buying the accompanying book well worth the $20 to say thank you to Mr. Scottie!

[@rjohnson5120]

DNA is made up of 20 amino acids, and the aminos acids are made up of only four bases. From that perspective, stealing licks, chord progressions, and melodies isn't wrong. It seems like it is the only way to create new music. Love this guy.

[@corporealpatronus8362]

I’m sorry, this is so wrong. I get the point you’re trying to make but DNA is made of 4 bases while proteins are made of 20 amino acids. The STEM part of me could not let this pass uncorrected.

[@rjohnson5120]

Thank god you jumped on this opportunity to correct an imperfect metaphor lest millions of children be misled by searching youtube comments to help them understand cell biology. Buried amongst scores of other comments on a video that is wholly unrelated to biology, my gross error could have brought U.S. science to a crushing halt.

His guitar playing is like the way he speaks. It goes on endlessly without stopping. No phrasing, just an endless stream of notes.

[@Tcoldsteel]

I hope this lesson is pathetically simple and will have people throwing money at me. I get strong Zach Galifianakis vibes from this fella.

[@emnlgrmn]

Haha he reminded me of the jazz guy sketch from I Think You Should Leave in the first lesson! When we was listing his top ten. Played by Tim Heidecker I think

[@joe19912]

Ha, nailed it. And the 80s home DVD style reminds me of the "between two ferns" set.

[@ORShiTTy]

Scotty worked in public broadcast. He did this entire course in early 2000 through public broadcast. So it was on public broadcast tv during the time he filmed. He saved the content and developed a 32dvd course. He sold the course for years through is very infomercial looking website. That’s how I found him and the course in 2006. I’m the one who posted about him on Reddit a year ago (it’s to day in fact) He founded/owns/operates a music school. He eventually decided to give the course away and try to profit off the handbook sales for $20. His course he never gained much success. So I’m so happy to see the post I made rejuvenating things. I actually expect to hear from Scotty soon and I will update the community.

[@billgator2005]

wow man! i'm blown away by the scales you play. i'm now 2 hours into this crap and nothing useful. this is a waste of time.

[@joe19912]

No this is great stuff, but you may not need/want music theory right now. I'd recommend a year of learning chords and a few songs before doing a deeper dive into the language of music.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

You are so wrong.
