    @Cigar65 Před 2 měsíci

    With the price of everything today this is the best way to learn lessons rather than taking them and paying 25 bucks for half an hour. Here you can go over and over it tell it sinks in. Just think of the money one saves taking this route. No taking the guitar out to the car, driving 20 minutes unloading it, get in for the lesson, tune it then begin. Before you know it your half an hour is up. I also love the jump cuts here. Great time saver. What this good looking teacher shows us in just half an hour would take at least a month taking personal lessons. Great way to learn in your home and at your pace. I wonder if Keith Richards knows this? If he does, I wonder if he can still remember it?

Your videos have certainly taken me there more often than not, and I think if I had had a music teacher like you, who explains things so clearly, intelligently and patiently, I would have fallen in love with more than just music .. thank you !

    Ok, I'm a newbie to your channel, I'm loving your teaching methods, its rudimentary and fundamentally visually clear for me! The Chord structures, and the way you explain things is like going back to music theory!
    Yes, I know there's much more to learn with time signatures and values, but for me reading and writing music always seemed to be out of reach! Your channel is change that, and giving me hope!
    Thanks Gracie!🎼🎹🎼

    I have been watching music theory for the last ten days and no one explains this subject with this clarity. Thank you.
