I truly appreciate how you keep your playlist up to date. This video just so happened to be the next one I’m supposed to watch and it was posted 2 hours ago. Most YouTubers end up neglecting their playlist so this is very helpful
-
Always play "Kumbaya" if you want to get everyone out of your house so you can go to bed
-
When you started chording through the C Major scale, I couldn't help but start singing "Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"...
-
I was learning these concepts separately, now it is all starting to make sense. Thank you for helping me to connect the dots.
-
this is some of the best educational guitar content on the platform currently thank u so much for what u do
-
Thanks Andrew. As a beginner of 50yrs strumming Ive been playing with triads and I think you've just squared the circle for me with the pentatonic shape and 7 chords.
-
OMG THANK YOU i took a full course of music theory but i was struggling to apply it to my guitar playing and finally i know how to use it!.
-
"Oh sorry I'm left handed"
-
Beware the neglected guitar on the wall at a party. It probably still has a horrendous factory setup that has gotten even worse over time.
-
This channel deserves more attention. Big thanks to you Andrew for helping me unlock my knowledge on guitar.
-
started learning theory like 2 days ago with your essential theory video. IT IS ALL STARTING TO CLICK
-
Superb !! .. thanks Andrew … your lessons are always instructive and supportive .. I’m off to practice this right now!
-
I've been learning from andrew clarke for a pretty long while now...I started playing at about 11 years old and had lessons. I quit playing for many years and stumbled upon andrew a couple years ago...I've learned more from him than I have in all my lessons and self teaching years together. By far the best.
-
Your lessons are great, I've been binging them. Easiest sub I've done in a while.
-
This is absolutely one of my favorite lessons! I just went back to a video you put out a few months ago over thos concept a little more in depth. I love this stuff.
-
This is so brilliant - such a useful roadmap
-
You are amazing. Its been quite some months now since playing the guitar feels more like a chore than something i love and enjoy, I'm buying a new guitar, a massive upgrade compared to the one i own now, so that should give me the right energy, plus all your videos i feel they will help me massively with my little journey to kinda enjoy sitting there and just have fun
-
So smooth Andrew! Love the lesson and examples.
-
Exactly what I needed... I mean I've got fragmentary knowledge on chords, chord progressions, pentatonics and some techniques scales as well as a repertoire of some mediaeval songs... But this gives me a good foundation to summarise what I learnt so far and cement it all together. I'll be rewatching this video a lot to get it nailed down, I was always fascinated by the art of improvising, this was a solid foundation you presented, thanks man! Really appreciate the content you make 😊
