      Which would you recommend for a guy that’s been playing for over 25 years, can play rhythm with the best of em, has only a rudimentary knowledge of music theory, but sounds like a chimp banging on a piano when trying to play lead? I’ve made it my renewed goal to learn how to be proficient at soloing (learning all the notes, scales, how to play them over chords and when the chords change, etc)

    You are an incredible instructor. This stuff has always made my brain hurt but you make it understandable. Too many instructors seem to have the goal of impressing others with their skill rather than teaching. Their egos get in the way of teaching. That can be very frustrating for someone trying to learn. Your style obviously puts the student first and it's not intimidating or frustrating at all. Thanks so much for making these videos.

  • @peterdanner2336
    @peterdanner2336 Před 8 lety +3

    Some people just have a natural tendency towards teaching, it's in the tonality of their voice, the way their brains deconstruct concepts and recompose them in a manner that can greatly assist the student to assimilate said concept, and in every facet of their articulation on a subject. To me this chap embodies all that, a great teacher. I've watched so many music theory videos, this is undoubtedly one of the best ones I've seen to date, well done

    Well said, Steve (as always). Understanding Music Theory is the cornerstone of becoming a competent musician. All of the 'greats' used theory, even though they didn't realize it.

    • @LevitatorMusic
      @LevitatorMusic Před 8 lety +4

      +ASquared007 yeah. people say Hendrix didn't know theory but if you watch any footage of him in the studio writing, arranging, or recording it's obvious he knew a lot about theory.

    • @pelumaad331
      @pelumaad331 Před 8 lety +1

      +LevitatorMusic ...Hendrix had a solid grasp of blues and R&B playing...and the creativity to take it beyond the boundaries of the time. It would have been interesting to watch him grow and explore further.

    • @ModernJargonFailure

    I've watched I can't tell you how many videos in the past few day, I even got the teach yourself to play dvd, and not a damn one of them broke it down like you just did. thank you from a true beginner. you absolutely have a new sub. thank you

  • @k.l.comeaux0037
    @k.l.comeaux0037 Před 8 lety

    I've watched countless videos on youtube this is by far the best. I had every note on my low E down in about 15 minutes. This is an absolute brilliant way of explaining the chromatic scale.

  • @LonnySarao64
    @LonnySarao64 Před 8 lety +23

    very concise and easy to understand. personally I would never tell a student that there is no such thing as B# or an E#, but I do understand why you said that. I would have said "there is no such thing as a black key after B and E".
    again, I appreciate why you made it easy.

    • @jimwilson5093
      @jimwilson5093 Před 8 lety

      +Lonny Sarao If I recall correctly there are circumstances in music where you do refer to a note as B# and E#..I wish I could remember exactly..

    • @LonnySarao64
      @LonnySarao64 Před 8 lety

      They are called enharmonic equivalents

    • @LonnySarao64
      @LonnySarao64 Před 8 lety

      B#=C, E#=F, Just the same as Ab=G# and so forth

    • @LonnySarao64
      @LonnySarao64 Před 8 lety +1

      Since you only name each letter note once in a diatonic scale, you must refer to C natural as B# when speaking of the key of C#. For exampl, the key of C# is spelled out as: C#-D#-E#-F#-G#-A#-B#

    • @jimwilson5093
      @jimwilson5093 Před 8 lety

      Lonny Sarao
      thank you ..that was exactly what I was trying to remember from music theory class 40 yrs ago...it was the fact that you can only use the letter once..also I recall situations with double sharps and flats...This is stuff that hasn't come up in a long time but I can almost still hear my teacher pounding so much into my young brain.If anybody wants to be a good musician I recommend a music school no matter what style or how good they may already be.Smartest move of my life..

    I learned all of this as a child, when I learned to play a few different instruments, including the guitar. But my native language is German and when I started watching tutorial guitar videos on youtube, I felt the need to learn all the English music theory vocabulary to understand those videos properly. This is why I watched this video. It is just wonderful. Steve Stine is an excellent teacher. Like many other viewers have stated: instant subscription.

      MeLexdy I'm scared, haven't started with learning yet cause I'm in school. I started in October in my guitar elective but we didn't learn jack shit of theory and barely any tabs. I began taking it seriously in march when I bought my first electric guitar. My goal is to be able to improvise or to be able to replicate a song just by hearing it. Is that possible? If so, you think it's hard?

    • @MeLexdy
      @MeLexdy Před 7 lety

      Yeah its not as hard as it seems. All you need is to play everyday and invest time. It all comes natural at some point.
      There are some steps that you have to take before you reach that level for improvisation.
      Your fingers must automatically be place in the optimum spot before every fret, you must learn basic open chords,then learn barr chords , learn the pentatonic A minor.
      All pretty small things that need their time but not hard to learn at all (maybe F,Bm barr chord but it becomes easy after a while)

    By the way, there IS such a thing as a B# and an E#... The scale of C# sharp consists of the notes C# - D# - E# - F# - G# - A# - B#...

    • @Guitarzoom
      @Guitarzoom  Před 8 lety +13

      +Iwan van de Weer It could be so confusing (even counterproductive) for someone who just starting to learn music theory that all tones relativize with sharps and flats on the very beginning! E#, B#, Cb, Fb are the next level.

    • @vincenzupalermitanu6421
      @vincenzupalermitanu6421 Před 8 lety +1

      +GuitarZoom.com C sharp is only noted that way because a letter cannot be repeated when writing out scale. ie cannot have F and F sharp notated. Is this correct Steve?

    • @BekkersBelly
      @BekkersBelly Před 8 lety +1

      Exactly Vincenzu Palermitanu​​. You HAVE to use every note of, let's say, the C major scale seperately. This is also why a scale will never have sharps and flats at the same time. So it's: C major /A minor: no flats or sharps, G major/E minor: 1 sharp, D major/B minor: 2 sharps, A major/F# minor: 3 sharps, E major/C# minor: 4 sharps, B major/G# minor: 5 sharps, F# major/D# minor: 6 sharps, C# major/A# minor: 7 sharps, so here every note of the C major scale gets a sharp (also E# and B#).
      Then we've got F major/D minor: 1 flat, B flat major/G minor: 2 flats, E flat major/C minor: 3 flats: A flat major/F minor: 4 flats, D flat major/B flat minor: 5 flats, G flat major/E flat minor: 6 flats, C flat major/A flat minor: 7 flats, where again every note of the C major scale gets a flat.

    I got my first guitar in 1998. I bought books and what not and taught myself chords. I played in bands in high school and college, wrote songs etc. I eventually quit playing bc I stopped progressing. I never learned the theory behind it. Well here I am in 2020 determined to start playing again and actually learn the instrument. I am so glad I found this video. This man is phenomenal. Very articulate and informative. Nicely done.

I learned music theory in high school and was pretty good at it but never really tried to apply it to the guitar and you gave it complete clarity my friend!! Thank you so much!!!

    Mr. Stine,
    My name is Panya. I'm 53 years old and I have zero knowledge on musical notes, but I want to learn to play guitar for my bucket list. After countless hours of reading and videos watching, I still don't understand anything.I failed miserably and felt even more hopeless.
    Then Holy shit!
    I saw your video and your methodology of teaching. Sir, I saw forever unfolded, I understand what serenity is about and happiness was like to see a new born child...
    Damn you are a great teacher, don't stop teaching. I have so much to learn in little times.....
    Your greatest fan,
    Panya

    After years of playing by ear, I recently began to learn to play the trumpet. Because I now read music to play trumpet, as well as improvise. I've discovered the joy of being able to open up a book of music and just play a new song. The memory of knowing what note you are actually playing, and better still to see how that looks as a note, is brilliant. I know we all hear about the great players who don't read, write music, but seriously, I think what this guy is pressing home is key to everything. Even if you don't ever read music, knowing what every single note is on your guitar, not just a tab number, is going to help so much as you progress as a player. I wished I'd done that approach to guitar years ago. I am now reversing up and intend to start reading guitar notation and become fluent with that. I'm nearly 50, and I still have an endless journey ahead of me. But learning something that makes you a better player is always worthwhile. This could be a very dull lesson, but this guy has made it anything but. Brilliant.
