This is a tour of music theory for the modern composer. I think these concepts are very important to learn, and in this order specifically! This doesn't encapsulate all of music, but it is a very solid foundation. Knowing these topics will enable a songwriter to easily approach new advanced music theory topics with ease.
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted - I was working all day shifts to finish this course. I started it last year actually but gave up since it was so much work. Fortunately I found the motivation after my last video to wrap it up - I honestly think it's the greatest course available on the internet, and I think the price is great for the amount of content you get compared to actual guitar lessons.
Now that my course is done, I can start working on YT again. Expect the Locrian video soon, along with some surprises....
THANK YOU TO MY PATREON SUPPORTERS. Without them, there would be no YT channel or course!

I am an old dog, self-taught for 54 years. Covid killed some friends and all my gigs. I quit playing for a few months out of depression and being stuck musically. Putting things back together correctly though. I have begun the process of actually learning the instrument. I'm charged and excited and bored out of my freaking skull. I dig the map. I liked, sub'ed. I'll be back.
hope you're doing well now my friend. Keep making music and have fun!
hang in there. while this world outside sucks right now, there is another world inside us to be explored through art. all the best
I'm in pretty much the same boat, playing live was the most important aspect of my life and now I feel like a caged bird.
@@patriciofernandez2711 Your words come out of so many mouths these days. Alas, but true. Because we all know music will never die, it's no use to ever stop when you have begun with it. It will always pull you back like a magnet, and that's positive (I've held my first guitar in 1973 and so many intermittent interruptions mainly because of how my life floats, but it has never left me and being an old sock, this knowledge has become more important than ever, especially in depressing times like these). Remember that the magic of music is that it can connect the most diverse people (and even animals!). The proof is also in the fact that we read each other's comments here.
I've been@it for 47 and now we have the web, cool 😎. Finding inversions and Buckethead is ENLIGHTENING, VERY INSPIRING MUSIC 🎶. "Reaching",Zone Ahead,IS,Triangles Mind,Too Many Humans,Moonlit Decay in memory of my friend,,,, and many more great songs will help us through, take care.
You might not have 2 million or 3 million subs, yet you are the no.1 CZcams guitar instructor. Power to you 🔥
Indeed. After 16 years as guitar student I know almost everything that Jake talks about, but the way he puts the concepts into practice is the real added value.
@@amimaster Why I say so is because there are literally some CZcams instructor "begging" in an entire video 3-4 times for subscription. Not the same with Jake Sir. He is a class apart. Only yesterday I learned from his videos - Phrygian Dominant chord progression
you're very kind =)
Share
I agree 👍🏿
Soooo.... sorry it's been so long since my last video but I literally was working non stop to finish my course. I honestly think its the best educational resource available for guitarists. Now that it's done I'll be back to making YT videos again and more free courses like my blues and interval course. thanks for being patient!
Ive been looking every day for a new video !!!! We miss you! Thank you for doing what you do for us! We all appreciate you!
You provide so much great content that most of us watch for free, don’t think you need to apologize for anything! Please keep doing what you do!
No apology sir, this is so nice of you to do for us, thank you so much for your tutelage I'm very grateful and use and return to your videos often!
Soooo.. is there any link to this course?) cannot find it.
Oh gosh I was so worried that you are not making CZcams videos anymore, been waiting since the last video... but thanks for this video! It is again very useful!!
This showed me how much I’ve truly learned as a musician and how much I still have to learn. Thank you for such a great video! I also will show this to my guitar students!
It's important to look back down to see how high you've climbed. But also look up and forward to realize you have many more mountains ahead!
Was thinking exactly the same! I'm one of those learning bits and peaces from here and there guitarist but I took some more structured approach year ago and it really helped. This was a really good overall to see I've touched pretty much all the boxes. Now its time to pick the ones where I need to go deeper. Eg. ear training and counting rhytm (dotted notes, triplets, the odd ones) are my weak areas. Really helps to see it all layed out like this!
I was surprised by how many of the "advanced" concepts I am already familiar with despite having skipped over some of the beginner steps, simply because I've been winging it and not knowing where to start.
I did not have a clue about music theory and thought it was just too beyond me. Then I found your channel and have completely surprised myself and it has vastly improved my guitar playing and I am just a bedroom guitar player. Cannot thank you enough.
Jake is the only teacher that taught me to play with actual practical knowledge. He focuses on actually using theory to MAKE music. So many people and teachers on youtube just talk about music theory but don't actually show you what to do with it. Jake gives a ton of great advice. I also like that most of his content is geared towards intermediates rather than beginners.
Even if his channel targets intermediates, beginners can still get some of that cake looking at older videos. Hell i learnt to play the keyboard because i stumbled upon his channel and his way of explaining chordal relations with regards to musical composition. Sure im better on my accousitc guitar but if i didnt watch this channel i would have no idea how chords are built or the intuitive ear for chords and scales.
Long time without a video from you. Glad to have one more
Will have a lot more very soon!
@@SignalsMusicStudio like that Locrian video?
@@colejohnson66 lol yes, the music is totally done but I still need to finish the video now
It’s honestly so crazy how much i’ve learned from your channel. Out of the hundreds of music theory lesson channels i’ve tried out, something just clicked when i started watching these lessons, hopefully i’ll be able to purchase the entire course some time in the future, keep up the great work!
i will forever preach the word of signals music studio
Blessed be our Lord and savior Sir Jake Lizzio
Yes pray to him
This has really inspired me to go back and truly master some concepts I've passed over through the years. The visual is so helpful!
Definitely getting your new course, you're my fave teacher on youtube for this stuff. Thanks man, have a good christmas and new year
This 'map' was an incredible breakthrough for my understanding about what, where, when and why! Thank you!!
I tried using everything I've internalized from your channel, so far, in my recent cover song, and my song writing capabilities have benefited greatly!
You started me out when I bought my first guitar a year ago, and now coming back a year smarter and going through this video, these topics are like a second nature to me thanks to you. Big praise and thank you for being an awesome teacher.
This was the kind of video I’ve been looking for since I was 16 and full of inspiration. Learned a mixture of these concepts so out of order at the time and never really knew how to use them to compose music that I was proud of. Now I’m taking it all back to the basics. I’m 23 now and I’ve never been more excited to truly elevate my musical skills and knowledge. Thank you!
What a talent to comunicate basic and complex concepts to an audience of widely varied understanding levels of the material, from novice to pro, you speak to everyone and put the knowledge or the roadmap to it at reach. I admire that Jake, anyone who has such a good handle of their field, and invests as much time and thought into it is alright by me. You should be very proud of your work. As a keyboard player who's watched more videos on guitar than I ever thought, I can say that you're as good at communicating music and it's concepts as any expert in their field i have ever layed eyes on.
It's not often you get to experience that, a mastery of their field and material. It's a joy to experience
I was surprised to see that I am well-acquainted with nearly every concept on your list (many thanks to your own videos!). I suppose the missing ingredient for me is practice and exercise!
This course is unquestionably the best course I've ever had the pleasure of using. In 10 lessons I learned more about theory and retained more about theory than I did with 4 months of piano lessons. Incredible work Jake, and I highly recommend everybody nab this course if you're serious about making music
Thank you for this video. I've been playing for 30 years and it's good to have these topics enumerated to clearly see the areas I need to focus on. Especially after having learned theory through the years in random bits and pieces. I found you while exploring songwriting concepts, and I'm glad I did. Thank you, again.
All the best from the Bay Area.

Disembodied virtual blob Jake is now my new favorite version of Jake.
Intervals changed my life now practicing daily
I was just going through your video on Diminished Chords and wondering when you'd post again. Daym!
This is perfect! I finally have a roadmap and goals to improve in music, the presentation was excellent and I love how silly the silhoutte Jake was with his VR hand gestures! :D
You are CRIMINALLY underrated, sir. The fact that you are making this content available for FREE and the fact that you explain things so well is insane, you have no idea how much you have helped me. Thanks so much Jake!
I think the cool thing about this video is that you can't understand everything from this video right away, and you would still spend YEARS learning all of this on your own. Having a teacher like him would actually help so much and help speed the learning process up. In a way, this video is actually just a pitch for his class. To me, learning this by myself is EXTREMELY daunting.
Jake you are undoubtedly one of the most sincere Music learner and devotee from a systematic, analytical and scientific perspective I have ever seen.
You have a very long journey to cover.
Awesome dedication , superb explanatory and demonstrative approach.
You must have inspired thousands of your viewers around the globe.. and thats not something trivial.
Genuinely earned subscribers
i've been watching your videos for about two years now and actually picked up the guitar in april this year just because of your videos. this checklist felt like the icing on the cake. two years ago i didn't even know where to find a g on a piano and now here i am working on an album. thank you so much for all the free education you put out there! i'm sure you didn't just change my life but many others as well, i don't know where I'd be without you so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Jake!!! Wow, thanks for the upload. Glad to see your are still alive!!! As usual, awesome video
Just getting turned onto this channel, so absolutely, “Thank you, very, very much Patreons”. I agree with his summation, both that you don’t need every concept to make great music, AND that knowing (…not just conceptually, but inside your body) more, being exposed to different structures, only enhances your Musical Soul.
Any structure that increases my musical confidence is GOLD.
I will join you on this journey. Just don’t know where to jump in, or if taking on a course like this is the “fastest” way to expanding my creativity and confidence?
Love this! Jake is my music instructor!! Consider his Patreon if you like this video.
Jake this was amazing. I have never before seen it laid out so well with your virtual environment. Thank you for creating such an informative video.,
Jake, I enjoy your perfect non-stop style. And also your insight, motivation, confidence and brainy universe. Big fun to be with you at the top of your game. Kudos!
I took music all through school and learned basic theory, but I didn't understand it on a deeper level to actually apply it on the instruments I played (clarinet, viola, keyboard), so I just memorized songs. When I picked up guitar a couple years ago (took a big break, so I've only been playing for 16 months in total), I was able to see patterns and improvise for the first time. I'm a logical learner, so the better I understand something, the more I can do with it. If i don't understand how something works, I get a little frustrated and confused. It amazes me that so many guitarists don't know much theory cause I feel it's so important, but at the same time, guitarists who have been playing much longer than me are surprised by my progress. While I did have to spend a few months just learning how to play guitar and trying to sound good, being able to improv and make your own progressions are things even more advanced players can't do cause they only learned songs from tabs. I didn't want to feel limited again so I made sure not to take that route. My goal is to improvise and write my own songs, especially more unique and complex progressions like Japanese music, so videos like yours that talk about borrowed chords, using diminished etc have been so useful to me. Thank you so much for making these videos!
I'm the same way. I struggle to just "feel out" a song. I need to know how and why. I find the more I do that, the easier it is to "feel" things as it becomes more like a natural habit. I am currently taking lessons with a cool teacher, but I may supplement this course in time.
@@SmashSquatch30 exactly! I know some people tell me to just feel it and experiment like they did, or they may feel theory takes away the magic and expression of music, but i think the opposite is true. If the only things you can play is stuff you copied and rearranged, that's quite limiting. Anything outside of what you can play may sound complex or unique, and they don't know how or why it sounds the way it does. I think this is why a lot of bands and songs sound alike too, they just recycle the same basic theory and scales. They don't have the tools to go beyond, or maybe they tried by experimenting and it sounded bad, so they got discouraged. Theory is as simple as trying to make the colour purple. Sure, you can take your time and mess up multiple times before figuring it out on your own...or someone could just tell you red and blue makes purple. And now you can use that purple to make and create what you really want, while other people are still behind cause they didn't want or care to learn the theory. I just feel so much more confident when I know the how and why, and I feel more free cause I know what chords and notes will work and why. The more I learn, the closer I get to being able to express anything I want easily, ya know?
@@kamekomiyamora Absolutely! 100% agree.
Hey Jake, i've tried to resist the impulse to ask you but, i can't take it anymore. I'm sorry that it has to be on such a long and elaborated video but... were you Pooploser_69 in The Noob Adventures?
DONT TELL ANYONE MY SECRET!
OH MY GOD! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS!
@@dipaula___ i'm going down the Rabbithole. I just discovered the Jaykzo channel. In this channel there are videos with Jeff Schwertfeger, the guy who voiced Fart Garfunkel and Gaylord Steambath. It's all connected. One of the masterminds behind this show from my childhood is now teaching me music. This is blowing my mind.
@@thalamusDecimation lol it's a small world ain't it?
Watch the video on sounding sad in major with the mediant chord! He directly addresses that he composed for it!
This is such a helpful guide to learn music. I haven't found any video like this explaining so brief and clear, and it's especially very helpful for these who get really overwhelmed the first time picking an instrument, that avoids getting stressed and not knowing what to focus on. Thanks so much for this, amazing effort!
U R the bomb Jake ... I continue to learn a ton from u and ur professional CZcams postings.... thanks for all of your hard work and sharing with us your skills. You keep us all motivated to learn and play more. Cheers !
You are what we needed right now!! I live in Nepal and by law we cannot make any international payments even if we want to and all the music schools are closed because of covid. Thanks a lot for providing such a quality content for free.

Uniquely novel and innovative comprehensive overview of an entire curriculum. I’ve been studying music theory on CZcams most of today including one (rare) for guitar. As an English language teacher, my motto was learning is ‘serious fun’. As I explained to a fellow teacher who asked why he could hear so much laughter from my classroom, “If they’re laughing, they’re learning”. But the most impressive feature of this upbeat presentation is the emphasis on composing songs and music generally. This channel and teacher is now my ‘go-to’ one for music theory application. Many many thanks Jake. You are a world-beating teacher.
What kind of stuff did you do to make school fun? Tell me about it.
This is beyond helpful, really glad for this type of content man! I desire a lot of success in your journey
Jake, this is fantastic! And your timing is impeccable. As a 40-year guitar beginner I can tell you I struggle with analysis paralysis and also massive confusion with all the things to learn and how they come together. I have printed your list out and now I have something to tackle in an order that makes sense. 2021 is going to be the year to really get my guitar act in order. Thank you so much!
You are literally the best music teacher on CZcams.
I love maps. Especially those that show where the treasure is, and how to get there.
Glad to have you back Jake. I already have your modal poster. It's a great tool. Also I would like to be able to do one time donations to support you. I don't like being roped in to a monthly commitment. Although I'm sure your accountant loves that. I appreciate your hard work approach and personality. Thank you, keep it up.
Very well done and clever. Music theory is soo expansive. It is a fascinating journey! Thanks fir the tour!
19:36 I learned that way too early on
that stuff should be learned early. it's like a color pallet.
@@Koropokel I agree. I learned modes before intervals and diatonic chords.

BIG thank you! Your channel has the right balance between teasing paid courses and give us in depth information for free. You are great at explaining! This noda thing is great btw.
This is great!! Thank you for sharing. I find the 3D visual to be really helpful for following along with your explanations.
"I don't go into songwriting thinking 'I hOpE I cAn Do iT tHIs tIme'"
lol, I feel personally attacked
Just talk
I thought I was
Even if I can't actually buy your course, I would really like too, and I encourage everybody to buy it, as you are the best teacher that I've stumbled upon on youtube.
I love to see an aspiring Buckethead in the comments xD
Such a powerful presentation!!!
Thank you.
This is true teaching.
This is such a great visual, putting all of these aspects together!!! I have never seen music education put together like this, totally awesome!!
20:13 "So each one of these modes is an entire world of music theory unto itself and it should not be ignored..." Saying while ignoring Locrian.
Fair enough.
Hi! nice video, as a professional composer i think one of the most important things to lear is how to analyse music, because at the end of the day everything is right there in the score, the arrangement, the instruments, the harmony, the groove. As you say, a pro composer needs to be able to write any type of music, I do it all the time and analyse helped me a lot on my tasks :)
This video alone was very helpful for me in connecting the scattered musical concepts in my head. Thank you so much man! Will look into your course
Wow I know more then I thought I did! Thanks for taking us on this journey. Your energy is inspiring
"They are the only sponsors I trust at this point."
Sounds like there's a story there?
I think he's probably eluding to popular sponsorships like Nord VPN and Betterhelp and the scandals surrounding that stuff. I think he's also familiar with the insane amount of shilling surrounding Guitar CZcams and wants to distance himself from it.
I can't actually vouch for these companies who offer sponsorships, and I don't want to get paid to express an opinion. My Patreon members literally just want to support the creation of more videos without any strings attached.
@@SignalsMusicStudio Aye Happy Holidays Jake.
@@SignalsMusicStudio Get a sponsor, not a boss. I like that
I believe learning Music Theory is about being consistent and reliable as a musician.
You can make music without knowing any of it, but what if one day you're just _not feeling it_ ? What if one day you don't know what to put in the next part of the song, or why it doesn't sound _right_ ?
By learning theory, you always know exactly what to do: Need a happy song? Bam, no problem. Need a sad song? Scary song? Atmospheric song? There you go. Need to learn 20 songs for next week? You have a framework to understand what makes each song up without too much memorization.
Great video, thanks for all the work you put into these , I always learn something new
So glad to see you back, best informational music content on CZcams!
19:40 I learned that waaaaay too early 💀💀
I know this isnt the point of the video but I was giggling the entire time at the chunky 3d man's waving bubble hands
This is just what I needed. To correct my "roadmap". Thank you very much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I'm always in the lookout for more information to be a better musician and your channel has been the holy grail!
I'm really curious about your course. I've been appreciating your videos for the past year and would like to know how the course videos differ? Is there any actual interaction between you and the student? Your methods of teaching usually seem tp strike a note with my brain but 200$ is a bit of a commitment and the previous (set course-impersonal) guitar courses I've tried were pretty much a bust.
Welp it's actually $270 lol, it's just on sale for the holdays. I spent a lot of time trying to set the price -I compare it to real lessons. 9 hrs of one-on-one lessons would cost about $450, and wouldn't include charts or replayability factor. Also we all are aware that guitar teachers (myself included) can waste time in the lesson by talking and getting distracted.... I honestly think it's a great deal and I truly believe anyone who follows the full course will feel like a composing champion. I spent literally over 1,000 hours making it and getting it just right. AND I will update it each year with bonus content so it's a long term investment. If you take the entire course and don't think it's worth it, I will refund you!
@@SignalsMusicStudio Thanks for your reply Jake. I actually find the price (even at 270$) to be completely reasonable considering the effort you put into your FREE youtube lessons, which I've linked and recommended to folks numerous times whenever I get a chance. I guess I was curious how they'll differ from your regular content but I suppose that's something I'll just have to wait and see. The fact that you've spent so much time and that it's your first legit comprehensive lesson plan is convincing enough. I've been promising to devote some of the money I regularly waste trading guitar pedals to lessons/improving my skill and I can't think of one other CZcams Guitar Teacher I'd prefer. I'm going for it- I'm excited! and I also feel the responsibility to support you (more than buying a modal poster) for the past year learning from your terrific videos. Thank you for your hard work. After 20 years of playing noise/art punk (with heavy usage of your beloved diminished ugly chords) its been a blast rediscovering the instrument I love with your help, even if me playing the blues and country is scaring my bandmates!

Jake’s back! Stoked to watch this!
I've learned so much from your youtube channel for free. I just bought the course as a way of saying thanks. Looking forward to learning more.

Aww man you back! So glad. You are a treasure. When i feel lost i always come back to your vids
I really appreciate this video. It's insane how many things people have told me to learn right away that are in the latter half of the roadmap
I just want to thank you for making this list of concepts because it has saved me a tremendous amount of time.
Man, thank you! your lessons really helped me a lot. 😁😁
This is gold!! Buying your course soon :)
I honestly don't think I've seen a video that filled me with more joy than this one did...I love that I totally understood everything you talked about...makes me feel like I actually do know what I'm doing. I want to start digging deeper into music theory again. Does your course cover these topics?
Thanks for another awesome video which I know will guide those who are interested in becoming professional composers or pursuing a rewarding way of self-expression. I love the modal poster and the outline you provided for learning the music theory concepts. I learned them through the school of hard knocks, but this is a helpful tool to revisit some areas. Thanks to your Patreon supporters as well. They recognize you great teaching ability,
Dude thanks so much for this Jake!
Very useful to have concepts and theories to explore :)
wow! Incredible presentation Jake! Takes a real enlightened teacher to present such a comprehensive system. incorporating VR! Very cool and cutting edge, and once we all have headsets and avatars we could walk right into this tour!
This is FAR the BEST description of how to map your learning! Totally made me understand why some areas of music are giving me a hard time absorbing it. Thanks Jake.
Hey Jake nice video its been awhile since ive been here. I watched a video you made on modes and diatonic chord theory when i first started out and it blew my mind. Anyway of all the music education content i consumed i think you’re one of the most genuine (and genuinely helpful)
Great work ! This is what I needed. A structured way to learn music efficiently. Being a self taught guitar player, this will help me to fill the gaps in my musical journey !! Thanks a lot !!
You are really such an inspirational guy! As someone who knows a little bit of everything about music but not in great depth , your videos really help a lot to approach better the concepts of music. Thanks a lot for the unlimited content about music that you provide to us for free! Keep up the great work!
You are by far the best teacher on youtube. My guitar progression skyrocket because of you. If you had a radio channel i would listen to it al day. Thank you Jake!
Thanks for all your videos man. I'm always doubtful of my skills since I've learned most by my own without a guidance. Thanks to this video I've know now that I'm pretty advanced in the path. And thanks to this video now I know why I dont fully understand some stuff (since I dont have the knowledge of some previous stuff)
I'll try get your course to polish some areas.
thanks again for sharing so much with all of us
For the price, you’re practically giving it away,
There’s so much valuable straight forward information, this is what I’ve been wanting to get into,
This virtual reality format was so engaging! Nice idea. (And great video too.)
What a great way to teach the ideas of music theory. I love the idea of thinking of it in a 3d space walking in a linear map. Great job.
Thank you very much for the pdf and your courses!
WOW!!! that was amazingly clear !!! I was trying to figure out was would be the ''best'' steps to teach guitar. EXCELLENT JOB! THX
Thanks so much for this. It's what I have been searching for!
What an awesome video! Perfect for those who choose to self-teach. Thank you so much for this wealth of (FREE) information.
And I agree with many of the comments below... you're definitely one of the best teachers on CZcams.
I am learning to compose film music on my keyboard and DAW. I took many music theory from the net, trying to understand the concepts. I always ended up being confuses, not knowing where to use what in my music writing. By far, this is the only course I took which clarified me the theory and how and when to apply it in my writing. Even though it is on the guitar, the music concepts are the same. He teaches them in a very simple 10 min videos which are clearer then hours of time waisting with other teacher and still you don't get it. Thank you Jake, your method of teaching is awesome :).
Thank you so much Jake for this and all of your other videos. I play piano, but I must say I am so impressed every time I watch one of your videos. You are clear and precise. Your voice is easy to listen to, friendly and down-to-earth--meaning logical with no self-importance. I just wish you taught piano--but I know the theory applies to all music. Take care and thanks again.
Ah! This was fabulous. Being around family members who compose using music theory, I've heard every one of these terms but had no idea how to go about learning them for myself or in what order. Thank you for this walk-through, it was immensely helpful and I look forward to learning it in the proper order. Btw, love your voice. Thanks again
Man this is the video I needed thank u man, such a hard work, thank uu
Wow that was an awesome tour! I'm looking forward to saving money for he course!
Really been looking forward to checking out your new content, basically been like an addict going through withdrawal between you and Rick Beato not posting theory content for a little while....Still, the learning map is definitely very structured in an excellent way. Think it's missing a fundamental theory section covering classical tonal harmony, I know you've got the "advanced theory concepts" but there is a massive bridge between advanced harmony and classical harmony especially when discussing things such as the differences between the classical theory behind functional harmony as really nicely conceptualised by Dimitri Tymockzo or "post harmony" as discussed by people such as Ian Quinn but I realise and recognise that this is a map aimed more at guitarist/composers and for that fact, I think the map pretty much covers everything that type of person would need or want to know which is really awesome.
Would love to see some theory vids on "Coltrane's Circle" or some fun time with the "Neo-Reimiann" tonnetz and transformations :)
Fantastic visual tour. I love the big picture overview.
Thanks man. It really helps to have the map for learning music.
