I’ve be playing for over 50 years. I never learned to read music and thought theory was too hard. Now that I’m retired I’m learning theory. Your technique makes so much sense and demystifies the guitar. I wish I had known this when I was young.

[@jameskowalkowski2334]

Same here - be 62 in a few months and this is what was lacking - EASY TO UNDERSTAND and very entertaining! Sub'd

First 50 is the easy part Duke...the next 50 is the real test...

me to ! 67 now and just realizing the Bible was right. " With all your getting get understanding,she will promote you ".

[@AngelAFargas]

That is wonderful

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Every day above the dirt is a good one, love it!

[@rickysguitar]

Aw man. Glad you got that. I'm very grateful to wake up every day and be with my wonderful family. Good and bad stuff. It's all good really. Didn't know if anyone would dig that reference :)

[@760Piper]

Eyup!!! Ricky this is guitar theory gold. Can’t wait for the other Grid lessons. Anyone who might shy away from theory should watch this to see how it all makes sense. Great job as usual.

[@garrobond0017]

Newbie,wow what a simple ( kiss) system, keep it simple sir. Many thanks for doing this video. Legend.

[@brettrobinson4894]

Been playing 40 years and never saw the 2 "L"s. Ricky you are loaded with aha moments and your delivery makes learning so much fun! Look forward to future videos!

[@axslinger99]

Couldn't agree more! I've have more, "aha!" moments with Ricky's lessons than I can could. For instance, flatting and double-flatting the root note to get a Maj. 7 and Dom. 7th chords! I've known basic theory/chord harmonization for many years but was never able to apply it to the fretboard. I'm 61 and have been battling to master the fretboard for decades. I'm finally starting to make progress. I'm a long ways away but it's starting to sink in.

[@GTORT]

This video is phenomenal. I have NEVER in my 15 years of playing been presented with something like this. You have answered questions I didn't even know I had. Absolutely fantastic video.

[@vusumuzijacob-ln8hl]

You have polish the streets of the world each one of them,Thank you a million.

[@picksalot1]

I like this Chord-grid system, and use it myself. It makes makes understanding chord progressions much easier, and transposing keys a breeze. This is a very valuable core principle. 👍

[@harlequin5817]

You have a remarkable way of demystifying the inmate complexities of the guitar. Good job Ricky. 🍻👍

[@jackisgallant]

Really useful! I like that mnemonic device and lesson, and the L7 is a new way to quickly apply major/minor keys. Thanks, Ricky!

[@rafaarts6751]

Crystal clear as always Ricky ... you are truly gifted in explaining this stuff !

[@zeekmx1970]

This is the most comprehensive music lesson I've had in years involving actual paper. I love how you're not afraid to take the intuitive leaps of logic to get results.

[@drutgat2]

A brilliant lesson. I wish I had seen this a few years ago, because it would have saved me a lot of time, effort, confusion and experimentation (i.e., taking the 'long' way around) to work this all out. Regardless, many thanks, Rick, and very well explained.

[@TheKennMan88]

This is awesome. I always leave with something incredible useful after watching your videos. It’s also great to learn the “tricks and tips” if you will, but also learning the theory as well. Helps me have my “ah ha moment” a lot easier that way and remember everything better.

[@jumpification1]

My whole life trying to figure it out and you fixed it in 20 minutes. Amazing!! Thank You!!

[@davidatyson]

Awesome and informative! Thank you for taking time to share great information!

[@chadharland3688]

I am very happy to find your channel. This is gold mine stuff! Thanks I ll keep tuning in. 1st lesson I saw was circle of 3rds, that was as cool as it gets. Great channel beginners and a little seasoned intermediate guys.

[@thefilthyfivetff5570]

Great again. Many thanks!

[@Cents111]

So happy I bought your book! L7 grid is so beneficial it’s difficult to express my overwhelming thanks. You are simply brilliant at what you do. It’s wonderful to work at something you love to do and are passionate about it. We all benefit so much from your love of teaching guitar. Thanks from Vancouver!

[@mikeleput2580]

Great Lesson

[@JohnDoe-fz7hz]

awesome explained 🙌🙌🙌

[@brusselssprouts560]

Quality video. It partly takes me back to my schooldays when I was studying music and playing recorder and clarinet. Since I self taught myself guitar I have relied too much on just tabs without giving regard to why the shapes change. Thanks very much.

[@jfson4321]

This is a turning point in my one man learnings of all that's needed. A big huge step forward. Thanks.

[@arthurmiles4433]

EYUP Ricky! Thanks so much for this video. It made understanding the relationship between chords and scales so much easier. Always struggled by counting and finding the relative note and then the chord. Just looking at the scale now everything has jumped out suddenly. A moment of revelation.

[@CosmicKnight1]

Really cool, thanks

[@nox-modus]

Thank you so much!! This is a great tutorial/lesson!!!

[@bigjimslade2147]

[@ministryinsong]

[@patrickfarley8036]

I'm absolutely loving learning from you! You are helping me make sense of all the random theory knowledge I've got taking up space in my noggin' !!!! You're a great teacher!

[@ZukiBiker13]

Great video. This opened up a world of clarity for me. Thanks!!

[@SoulfulJim1]

Most helpful video yet for me. Thank you for doing this!

[@spaceface1111]

All these years reading theory and first time I come across this. Thank you! Mind blown

[@phillipweathers2826]

your instruction is eash to follow, I'm awestruck!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Perfect! Thank you!

[@carpediem4413]

“Everyday is a great one” … is THE lesson I needed today 😑

[@PhryTheBreather]

This is it. This is one of the best theory videos I’ve ever seen. Tysm man! Gonna be rewatching this one with the guitar out🥲🙏🏻❤️

[@kc6671]

Great lesson. Earned my subscription. Don’t find many lessons on Theory that also relate it to the instrument like this. Love it…

[@guloguloguy]

....WOW!!!! THANKS FOR THAT LESSON!!! THE "L7" PATTERN IS REALLY HELPFUL!!!!!

[@jontzb]

Mind blowing 🤯

[@stagelifelv9324]

Absolutely mundane blowing! Thank you!

What a knowledgeable and gifted communicator. Thx for sharing

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Lars! Thanks for watching buddy :)

[@NeoArch]

Just wanted to say a huge thank you, watched your videos and you have a very intresting look on the theory and guitar playing. much apriciated and i hope you and your family is having a lovely holiday!

[@PaintByMonster]

Really great video! It's the second of your videos I have watched and you have explained the fretboard very elegantly. Of course I subscribed and will be watching more!!

[@josephhaile7652]

Awesame,Thank you

[@ftlaud911]

Battle Ends And Downs Goes Charles Father video was gold!! Helped me learned the fretboard and really stuck with me. Thank you so much!!!

[@lefty5757]

Thank you Rickey! 🎸

[@rickysguitar]

You're welcome David :)

[@darkomtobia]

I always wondered how people knew what/where to play when someone would jam and say "key of". Also, even though I can't Barre beyond 1% at the moment, seeing the idea of the root string deciding the CAGED shape to use is like a light shining down. You are a gift to guitar humanity.

[@rickysguitar]

This is the secret! Thanks for watching and commenting. I have an alternative way to play barre chords that might help you. Here's the vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqVfIxseb2mpdk :)

[@donnacolwell3988]

I actually understood the lesson! All the more reason to keep plugging away at the barre chords. Thank you!

[@stormyweather2837]

That was genius how you explained that cheers !!

[@Nightpants]

Ricky, I've been agonizing over this shite for a long time and am finally seeing the walls come down with your videos. Thank you very much. You are like my college algebra professor who showed me shortcuts that helped me ace the course.

[@adriancoppin977]

Oh, man. That is one exquisite lesson. Many thanks. I’m 66 btw. Happy Christmas.

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for making this informative lesson for us Ricky.

[@rickysguitar]

Your most welcome!

[@RANDOG1951]

EYUP! Dear Ricky, Thank you very much for your generosity. You were born to teach Sir.

[@gtechblues]

I am glad that I learned that 55 years ago. It’s easier to remember than to learn at over 70 years old. I learned from my mother’s Hawaiian guitar book and converted a few easy tunes for standard guitar. That was a good way to learn back then… But I am still learning today, thanks to vidéos like yours.

[@markchandler7089]

Your whole series of teaching videos is fantastic! I am studying North Indian classical music, starting with voice but the system can be modified to most instruments. The spot at 12:44 shows the straigth-forward chromatic scale, which is very similar to the way Indian music conceptualizes things. The 1 and 5 are not altered, only the 4th can be raised while the others can be lowered. Ragas are scale patterns, a sequence of intervals, for ascending and descending movement plus common themes. The raga traditions are another way of teaching music; harmonizing the notes of a raga is another leap, which your videos have encouraged me to consider. Thank you for your visual guides and clear presentations!

[@joncarr9794]

RICKY, YOU ARE NOT ONLY AN INCREDIBLE GUITAR TEACHER BUT ALSO A INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING!! A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A GREAT & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!

[@szymonzbijowski9776]

Dude you are so awesome and happy and the way you are is so contagious Thanks for this awesome lesson and wish you all the best :)

[@johnnyboo8243]

brilliant thanks

[@chrisbrodbeck1961]

Thank you Ricky when I took composition it was taught to piano. Not that it makes a difference on the staff, but it does make a difference if you're looking at it transposed to guitar.... This really helps if I want to write the music out properly! Strumming along, oh let me write that out, etc... I wouldn't have been able to do it quickly, and honestly I probably would have left it in tab!

[@dunrobincourt]

Yes... good job. B

[@bellasasunic]

great video! I’ve seen stuff about the CAGED system with hand-waving “you don’t need to know *why* it works, just do this!” but your explanations give me an understanding that helps me remember the technique while also appreciating its purpose and functional value. I feel like it really sets me up for future learning and I love that, thank you!

[@mrskint55]

Many thanks for posting,you are a brilliant teacher Ricky

[@rickysguitar]

You are very welcome. Thank you for your kind words :)

[@xlr8r3VA]

Wow, your videos are amazing! I appreciate how simple you make it look. I wish my classical guitar instructor would have taught me this, it would have greatly helped my classical learning and I might have stuck with it. I quit guitar for a while, but am now back to playing folk and hymns. This has really expanded my guitar thinking. I am no longer stuck playing 6 chords! LOL!

[@joehiggins2174]

Fantastic information!!! I've been playing for 45 years and I've never put this together. Wish I knew this when I was starting out.

[@plasmaquark]

Ricky, you are the best guitar teacher in the universe, I've progressed so much watching your lessons on music theory. You are even better than Rick Beato at explaining things. Keep up the good work fella.

[@frankstanley6166]

Ricky , your a genius, thank heaps for this lesson.

[@rajeshgumber363]

Thanks Ricky, really like music theory, definitely helps in advancing guitar skills.

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Raj! This is a crucial thing to know on guitar! Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@craigsowerby442]

Just watched this and your circle of 3rds tutorial 👍 brilliant keep em coming Ricky

[@olliemeadows6164]

You are a good man

[@chewybang]

Fantastic stuff, so glad to have found your channel

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Chewy! So glad you did too! I appreciate you watching!

[@ericmohler5609]

L7. So simple it'll stick. Another nugget of gold to drop in the basket. Thanks again man.

[@niguel4438]

That’s brilliant. Even without the full theory. Thanks.

[@FAIRWEATHER_MUSIC]

new viewer. love the intro. hooked and subbed

[@PDDistVideo]

seen this explained a few different times by different KZbin guitar cats, but this one was by far the easiest to remember. Mnemonics man, they work.

[@tenantrep]

Wow! Have no clue what I just watched. I know it brilliant but over my head. Will watch 20 more times.

[@JimBagby74]

Ayyyy-up from Nashville!

[@CathyKreger]

excellent

[@sunangel-rivka]

Man, I gotta tell you, you explain things like no other teacher. It's seems most everyone else explains concepts in exactly the same way, so if you don't get it, you're SOL... It's so great to get a different perspective on these things. I appreciate you!

[@sciampa8127]

Brilliant

[@joe1annie2]

Thanks for sharing Amazing stuff having a lot of fun with this lesson :-)

[@rickysguitar]

My pleasure!

[@inspector_7152]

You are the perfect music teacher, Ricky! It appears to be easy after all… If I’d only knew earlier in life…..

[@johnhensley220]

The clarity you bring with your lessons is astounding. Dealing with enharmonics in "jazz keys" is the answer to a question I've wondered about forever, with your handy, but brilliant mnemonic and visual tab it's sunshine coming in..I feel so fortunate to have been led to your guidance..

[@RadikalizedX]

The fact he not evening charging people for this knowledge is amazing he takes time like class ☮️❤️‍🔥

[@mindgame9259]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Least I can do is like and subscribe. Such a great videos and lessons. Wish you all the best.

[@johndoh1000]

Thank you so much!!! I never recognized that you can rely on an "E shape" chord or an "A shape" chord relative to the string you're playing. I've been teaching myself how to play guitar and I've steered very clear from messing around with chords because they always seemed so ethereal. "Oh yeah just make your fingers contort in this crazy manner and break your thumb in the process." That's more or less how I've perceived chords.

[@InsolentMusicalPeasant]

Leave it to Ricky to make something so intimidating so easy to understand. Thanks for the PDF, too!
