[@angelinete26]

2024 and who's here?? Been playing the guitar for like 10years and I just learned all these theory stuff from this guy so easily! Dude even just the thought of learning music theory has always been "mess" for my brain ever since. You're such a genius, man!! I feel "ENLIGHTENED" HAHA

[@vincentencinares7125]

After 11 months of browsing here in youtube about this stuff finally, I found the most understandable music theory tutorial ever🙏 thankyou perf🤘

Music School : Exist Perfecto on YT : *Im going to end ur business permit*

[@JCFern]

I personally think that Perf's low-tech "old-school" method of pen-and-paper presentation is BRILLIANT! 1-He makes the lesson "personalized", you see an actual human being writing down the lesson manually with pen and paper in real-time as the lesson unfolds, rather than some talking head giving a sterile presentation of subject matter using fancy generated graphics. 2-He encourages the student to follow along and take notes of the lesson using pen and paper, instead of just relying on the student to remember by pure memory power alone. He is actively engaging the student by making the lesson an interactive process involving physical ACTIVITY. This forces your brain to internalize the lesson quickly, because you have to focus and pay attention, writing stuff down in real-time, just like how students would do in a live classroom in school. 3-At the end of the lesson, you now have your own personal lesson instruction manual. You will actually be able to understand it easily, since your hands, guided by your brain, made it. Ngayon... Saan ba ako makabili ng Cattleya na notebook at Reynolds na bolpen? Gusto ko kase authentic na Pilipino guitar lesson hehehe

[@matthewantonio2190]

Perfecto De Castro I thank God for you my friend. Your teaching style is phenomenal and I’m really enjoying your videos. I’ve been playing guitar periodically for a number of years and I’m a visual learner so this is perfecto. I’m gonna purchase one of your tshirts for support because you impacted me that much. Truly one of the best teachers I’ve come across. If you want you can check out my style on KZbin, Summerbreeze by Matthew James. Thanks again and God bless.

[@Nicole-fx3ei]

I usually don't finish watching music theory videos, but the way you communicate immersed me. I didn't even realize that I've already finished a 19-min vid. Thank you.

i just cant thank you enough, i have been searching for this kind of explanation of music theory for like 5 years i have searched every where not a single person has explained it the way you did love and peace brother may you have more of what ever good you do in this world. thank you..

[@michaelhattenhauer7159]

I know this is an older video, but I learned more in this 20 minute video than I have the rest of my life.

[@austinsouthwick2678]

I appreciate the detail you go into and your willingness to throughly explain everything you show

[@shirleydelasalas9762]

I never thought to think about the notes beyond the 12th fret and now I see a clear picture, that it's just a repetition of the open string notes near the nut of the guitar. That makes it easier to do and understand the scales after the 12th fret. Thanks a lot!

[@keith4349]

just want to drop a sincere “thank you”

[@ThisIsHarderThanIThought]

just stumbled upon ur video today (march 19, 2020)...u xplained the notes all over the neck the way ive never heard it explained, thank you!!!

[@snehalquest]

I did whatever you asked to do in the video and amazingly I remembered the whole fretboard. I followed all the instructions you gave during the video. This has drastically improved my music theory for playing the guitar. Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate your wonderful efforts.

[@Rywonmagun2001]

Grabe sing linaw ng mineral water ang pagkaturo, I clicked your video cuz I thought you speak tagalog and it would be easy to understand but kahit nag eenglish ka naiintindihan ko turo mo Sir at ang linaw, Thank you

[@thekazilqum]

this is by far the best in19 mins, short and clear. Thanks a million..

[@iJonikz]

Hi perf, I taught myself how to play the guitar 10 years ago from reading tabs and youtube videos. I would call myself an intermediate player, and I got stuck there for a while until I found your videos. I have recently started getting back to music, watching your videos motivated me to go the next step. Learning about Key signatures and how to correlate them to the guitar when jamming with my friends, makes the experience much more fun. Thanks a lot, keep it up. You are helping a lot of new musicians each and every day. I like the merchandise also.

OMG. I no joke have been trying to learn this for years, I always put on a theory video and end up spacing out like I have ADD or something. I’ll tell myself “okay I understand a little more” but I never really did at all. But after this video, my mind is literally blown!!! Like it all finally came together after this. I am so excited, thank you so so much for breaking it down the way you did, you are a flippen awesome teacher. I am so stoked !!!!!!

I’ve seen multiple videos and have a few books on music theory and they always lost me with the fretboard and the letters this has to be the simplest explanation that I’m actually able to follow along with im probably gonna have to do this as a mental exercise for a couple weeks like homework just to really memorize it but it’s something that definitely helps thanks!
