guitar is so hard 😢 EDIT - It’s been 5 months since my post, i currently can add *some* arpeggios into my everyday playing. Thank you everyone for the kind words.

[@Samjamguitar]

Keep at it!!

[@franfranvy6028]

Take it step by step and play what you love ❤️ 😊

[@Ridethe-p9j]

Keep watering the seed, It takes time to Bloom.

[@alxofficial1541]

It just takes practice

[@seanseams6308]

I’m learning now and yes it is but fuck is it a addicting challenge

[@tombacon3482]

My brain just exploded with this explanation. These videos have such a clear way of demonstrating theory that I just don’t seem to click with other peoples.

[@Samjamguitar]

thanks its very much appreciated!

[@marvostackz]

I agree it makes so much more sense now w video

[@sejuyz]

I second that

[@sejuyz]

I think the genius behind this video is the fact you're teaching theory while giving us a musical example of how to actually use the concept in practice. I will forever remember that reggae arpeggio counterpart in both E and A strings. Killer.

[@Bero70]

There is nothing better then your way of teaching guitar. Animated is the way to present. Your chanell is pure gold my friend.

[@Samjamguitar]

Cheers Bero!

[@a.a.ronwillis]

Agreed 🎉

Danke!

Thank-you!

just starting out and seeing your animations makes it ten times easier than just imagining everything

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad you think so!

[@Sasquatch10]

Dude, a few months ago i had zero concept of anything theory. It looked so complicated that i was too afraid to start learning. Between you & SignalsMusicStudio i feel like i've progressed and gained the knowledge that would'cve otherwise taken me multiple YEARS.

[@Samjamguitar]

Fantastic! Great to here it👌

[@patbunce1120]

I typically never write comments on any videos but just want to let you know you’re an awesome guitar teacher. Your visuals are especially top notch. So helpful. Thank you!

[@Samjamguitar]

Wow, thank you!

[@Insightful_Inquiries]

I know right! Best guitar lessons I’ve come across on YT. They are simple, quick, to the point, easy, and beautifully executed! “Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain Peace in the world…” -Our Lady’s Words at Fatima May 13th, 1917 --As always, Repent & believe in the Gospel! God Bless!

[@martinotrusina4777]

First video I´ve ever seen from your channel and you´ve taught me more about how to start using arpeggios than 100 other KZbinrs combined ! Incredible

[@Samjamguitar]

Welcome aboard!

[@aaronclark7587]

Im so freaking happy that i found your video because i was 100 % DONE WITH GUITAR

[@Samjamguitar]

fantastic!! check out the other videos on the channel also!

Thank you for making this tutorial! It's people like you that let others learn guitar online for free in the modern age.

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@wagonet]

Whoa 😯. It sounds SO cool when you show us how it can be used. Watching and practicing this

[@allohrekha4433]

I've never seen anyone make a video of guitars arpeggios so beautifully and I think this is the easiest way to do it.thank you very much.❤

[@geraldmartin7417]

After 23 years of dickin' around with the damn guitar, your videos gave me the Eureka Ah-Ha moment. For me, you seem to hit the sweet spot of information flow and presentation. Somehow it all makes sense now. Thank you Sam!

[@Samjamguitar]

Great to hear!

[@stephenmahlstedt7276]

These lessons are so well constructed and effective. You should be very proud of your work as an instructor and creator.

[@imaginaryfriendofficial]

Hands down the best guitar lesson channel, and I've seen a few! A suggestion, though I'm not sure if it fits the theme - could you imagine making videos about technique as well? I've noticed you playing all your solos fingerstyle, something I'm still struggling with as I'm used to play them with a pick. Keep it up and thank you so much for your effort!!

[@Samjamguitar]

Great suggestion!...I am planning on introducing technique videos to the channel soon👌

[@giuseppevilano]

I started playing guitar about 7 months ago and I’m so glad I found your channel. Very thankful for your teaching method and your hard work on the content. Thank you so much !

[@Samjamguitar]

Great to hear!

[@Truth_Hurts_Bad]

This is it! Understanding core logic will propel playing to new heights when the fundamentals are established. Arbitrary systems are one thing, but knowing the constituents is a cut above. Huge thank you.

Brilliant thanks 👌

[@JMLegato]

This is the best. I just bought a book that recommended l3arning all of the scale shaoes first... then the names of the notes a good distance later. This makes way more sense instead. Please keep making these!

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad to liked it... and yes I will continue to make many more videos!

one of the best explanations, i feel like this was the glue i needed from all the other STUFF i tried learning from

[@TheJalba66]

Top quality lesson again Sam. You cover loads in one video but make it clear, practical and understandable at the same time. Finally getting time to try and make some more progress and will definitely be using your videos.

[@Samjamguitar]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kianr2200]

Wow extremely helpful stuff, instant sub. Love how you explained how you can play the same chords and arpeggios either by, keeping the shape and moving further, or changing the shape and moving less. I had never thought of that but it makes a lot of sense

[@Samjamguitar]

Awesome, thank you!

[@dewey5588]

It's clear ,it's great, easy to understand, most of all interesting, not boring,tnx for posting this,substantial and helpful.

[@MaloneysDigest]

This is an excellent video! Exactly what I needed to know. I’ve been playing for 23 years, but haven’t fully understood the dynamics of intervals. This has given me a great base for confidentiality navigating chord changes. Thank you.

Very helpful vid, thank you! It helped me see that I can start by practicing with the 1 5 1 of power chords, then add in thirds and the rest of the chord later.

Fantastic!

I was looking for such youtube channel which can explain not only practice but also theory and you know that expected knowledge and ultimate satisfaction I got in your channel... Keep it up and try not to ruin your image which you have created among your subscribers... Love from India....❤

[@AncientGranules]

Thank you for waking me up on this particular learning part! One thing I have is Visual Spacing memory and I usually see and copy, then apply note name and if memory helps, I usually remember.

[@Samjamguitar]

No probs, thanks for watching 👌

[@patrickdarby-sheehan5368]

This is fairly straightforward. But, I need to 'visualise' the chord shapes. So, it's back to learning the intervals/notes. Thank you...great tutorial.

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Best video of the year, for a guitarist.

[@Samjamguitar]

Cheers 👌

[@MakiNoAtorie]

haven't picked up a guitar in more than 16 years and I never understood arpeggios because the only resource I had at the time was someone who memorized some of them also having no idea what they meant. I still don't fully get it but I finally see the theory behind it, thanks.

[@gopilotmusic]

One point I notice here that is very helpful for me is that the notes of arpeggio are exactly the same as the barre chord notes except for the arpeggio having ONE extra note: it's on the second heaviest string, it's a third, directly behind the fret that would be barred (for the major arp.), two frets behind (for the minor arp.).

[@Samjamguitar]

Good observation 👍

[@Dave-gf3kd]

Awesome explanation and graphics!

The arpeggio at 2:05 is used on Zelda ocarina of time. (I can’t put my finger on exactly what part) I gotta learn that now! What a weird arpeg. The minor arpeggio is the one I know that I used to sweep pick loudly and sloppily all the time * you know my A is self taught/ saw a Jason Becker VHS when I was 14* hahaha. thank you for making this video :)

[@Samjamguitar]

There are some great arpeggios in game music especially zelda! Might have to do a video on just that!
