Can you make a video where you apply this on a guitar?

After years of being self taught and learning theory in a very disorganized manner, this video really wrapped everything together for me. It was like having all the right puzzle pieces & then finally finding the order they go in. thank you for the video! :)

New subscriber here too. I needed to learn what I'm doing and this video helps a lot.

So I play for 57 years. 10 yrs school lessons, 2 yrs college lessons Theory. At 50 I am diagnosed with a learning disorder. I am building my own channel to drag myself kicking and screaming with a smile and a tear through music theory in front of the world. Today, ...you helped. I will like, suscribe and stay in touch, not plagiarize you or any other of the diverse sources and methods I must employ to drive the theory home to pragmatic daily use in composition and performance. Sincerely, Thanks. I am 68 and grateful.

I've been jamming on guitar for 35 years and always put off learning theory because every time someone started to explain it I felt like I was hearing a foreign language. Thanks for giving me a complete understanding in English.

Hi , I learnt the guitar when I was 6 yrs after being inspired by my dad who was a guitarist. At that age, learning all this theory made me overwhelmed that I begun to hate it and I quit holding a six string in my life again. My dad passed away in 2016, I took his guitar which was beginning to rust and decided to play instead. I didn't go for classes this time, instead my brother taught me a few chords. Over 6 years of playing I felt a need of learning some basics, which you did. My guitar teacher told me these things when I was 6 years old, which made less sense to me then. But today, your video is ringing bells in my head. With more clarity and understanding, I'm in a pursuit to get a stronghold with theory as well as playing. Thank you very much:)

I have to say, I’m over 50 and just started playing the guitar. I’ve learned SO much by watching your videos. Thank you for doing what you do. I had become a bit discouraged trying to learn the instrument (even with personal lessons), but your videos have helped me tremendously. Again-THANK YOU!

I’m the same . I started not knowing a thing about music but I have the desire to play guitar. I’m determined and practice 2hrs a day. I’m not musically gifted but I’m hard headed and love to practice . I love the grind, after about a year and a half I’m starting to get kind compliments on my playing from people. What a compliment. I just love to play and always try to learn something new. I may not learn it all perfectly but I’m a little bit better if I get just attain more knowledge. The key is to practice, try to always learn and remember to have fun.

The Major 145 and Minor 236 rule is absolutely game changing! That fully cleared up figuring out what key the song is in for me! Thank you!!!

when I tell you this video has helped me out a lot, I cant begin to tell you how much it has helped over and beyond. He makes things a whole lot easier and with that I just want to say thank you. What helps is writing notes down as you go and pausing the video when needed.

Tell me why I was in music class for 6 years and nobody explained any of this to me!!!! Omg

As a play by ear and repetition player you’ve made finally start getting it at long last. Great teachers are golden. Many thanks 🙏

After a year of struggling with guitar theory I really got a video that made me understand things I did not find so clearly explained all over KZread, thanks so much for this, indeed you are the best teacher :)

this is definitely the best basic music theory lesson on youtube, you're a life savior man thank you so much

Wonderful. You make learning music theory less intimidating and i could understand your lesson so easily. I failed to understand by reading guitar books about scales and you just help me wonderfully. Thank you so much

I actually remember learning the major and minor scale pattern in school. There were many things we learned in school related to music theory but since it was all messy and we learned it in such a messy way I didnt think it would be related to something so interesting like this since im starting to get into guitar and singing! Thanks for this amazing and spot on explanation!

just starting to learn guitar, ive gone over ur vid 10plus times. finally its sunk in thankyou for ur help. God bless you brother......

Thanks so much! I've been watching numerous videos on this topic, but none of them were as clear and concise as yours. I now feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of my shoulders! Now I'll get my guitar and start using this knowledge 😃🎸

Really excellent explanation of basic music theory. When I was a kid, 10 thru 17 years old, I played Trombone in school band. We learned how to read music (in my case bass clef), and how to play the notes were located on our instruments; but I don’t recall learning any music theory. Years later, I became more interested in theory, as I’ve also played guitar since I was 10. You steps 1 thru 7 make perfect sense to me, but step 8 (majors and minors) is where I start to get lost. Thanks for you video tutorial. I’ll definitely be checking out more of your stuff.

I learned some music theory in middle school when i took piano, and im now into guitar, and wanted to learn how to play something that is my own. I learned to step 7 (but i wasnt taught it in steps) and now that ive seen that last step. it makes a lot more sense to me. thank you for such a great video

Thank you for explaining this so well. I've watched numerous music theory videos and this was the only one that I completely understood. Well done.

Everyone commenting has been playing for 20+ years I have been playing for around 11 months I’ve got a lot of stuff down but I’m mediocre and I don’t want to be mediocre forever I play guitar and bass all self taught cause I love to learn and your videos (and bassbuzz!) have been the only thing helping me actually progress

This is a the best video for anyone trying to be self taught. We all learn the best by doing, not by hearing the best. This video gives you the tools to be able to do that in a musical context, usually it’s so alien to beginners. The more theory I learn the more I realize music is basically like learning a new language. Or more like learning a new level of advanced calculus in a new language lol.

Dude you are a legend i love this, i struggled a long time to understand this and you manhandled my brain with this one video

Wow, I've been trying to understand this for such a long time playing guitar and your video made so much more sense than anything I've seen or read. Appreciate the lesson.

I was trying to remember my music theory, part of guitar revival number 100 I've had. Found this video. Totally excellent! Great explanation. It's like I understand how the planets orbit the Sun. Thank you.

Thank you, i didnt know theres a way to learn music theory in steps. I learned it randomly and got lost, I feel a bit more comfortable after watching this video :D

Really good video. Great starting point. Thank you Nate.

I know this video has been up for years. I’ve gone through so many intro to music theory videos and books and none of it was put together in such a basic way. It made all the crap I’ve been memorizing click in. Knowing the why really jumps you further on progress because you can figure out a scale or progression just from your fretboard or keyboard with this basic clear knowledge. Definitely subscribed and will be going through more of your content

I swear this whole Guitareo channel has been saving me, I’ve been playing for 6 years (technically 2 years since I keep going off and on) but now I have a foundation where I can truly get better.

Thank you, so much, Nate! I knew more of this than I realized and now know more than I did. Makes sense! Thx again!

Loved this video, thanks Nate and I really hope you make more music theory videos.

This is fab! I think the reference of a piano makes it much easier, I played for a few years before learning guitar and never realised how much it'll cross over, as I never even went deep into piano theory. Playing up your strings 1 fret at a time, is basically the same as scaling up a piano!

this was the most understandable video on music theory out of all i watched. all these other videos made me want to pull my hair out of my head, i thought i stupid for not understanding but this video made it really clear. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

The best teacher I have come across in guitar lessons.

Great video and great way to begin explaining theory. I already new the first couple of things but holy crap, #8 makes so much more sense to me now. Never really understood what the key of whatever meant until today. Thanks!

Thank you so much! The way you visualized this was more than helpful!

Thank you for the great video, you explained things in a way that is easy to understand, and as a beginner guitarist this is very helpful. I knew about the 12 notes and the octave repeats from the movie "A Star Is Born," but I never made the connection to the 12 frets until I watched this video. Knowledge is power, thanks for sharing some of your knowledge, very cool. 😎

finally getting it. 30 years of playing and now it is making sense. Thank you

Starting to get into focus, thanks for being so clear on this -Great lesson !

This really helped me understand music theory. Especially the Scales. Thank you 💕

Short and sweet theory lesson. Best I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve always been confused and other videos never helped but confuse me more, this video is perfect and it’s super simple and it makes sense and is easy to understand. Thanks so much!!!

The best explanation I've seen. Simply described in the optimal amount of time. Thanks!

The teaching skill of this guy is textbook perfect.

Wow! You are a great teacher. I am putting music theory pieces together by watching different videos on theory (lots of them), seeing the logic now, & simplicity, if well laid out and well explained. Your presentations are the dream. Condensed, logical and easy to follow. What you explain in the very short span of this video (16m) would take someone watching other sources four or five hours to gather - if not more. I can't wait to see what you have on triads, the circle of fifths, fretboard theory and layout, and all the rest of the awesome stuff that I do not even know you might be willing to share and teach. Thank you for the patience and for humanizing guitar theory. Yeah, some of us have a hard time learning if they don't understand the formulas, by being told "that is how you play a C because that is just how it is". I am one, and LOVE theory. You are our hero. Keep it up please. You bring value to the art and a contribution to the arts and humanity.

Best video on music theory I've watch so far. Thanks for the class

Wow the visuals and writing out the cheat sheet made it so much easier to understand!! Thaaaaaank you for simplifying it.

Thank You so much... this was perfect... I've been searching for this clarity everywhere and here are you...

This video was VERY HELPFUL! Thank you so much for this!!

Amongst all the theory lessons on line, this is the best and the simplest way to understand for a beginner like me who has been trying g to understand the basics of guitar theory. Thank you so much!

This is great!! Keep it up bro.. looking forward to more tutorials :)

Great explanation! Cleared up a lot of questions for me. Thanks.

I've understood points 1-7 for a while now but #8 was what I needed! Big breakthrough for me today. great video, thank you!!

the best explanation of music theory that seen on youtube! it is all making more sense now that heard how you explain it. thanks!

You're a great teacher brother. Bless you.🙏

This was amazingly well explained. I always had trouble being explained what music theory actually is by so many people. This truly helped simplified it way better. I don’t understand why so many other people use overly complex explanations or barely any of, for something that is truly just simple, just takes a long time to really memorize it all.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Best music theory video indeed!!!

I am a logical thinker and he is the only person who has made a logical explanation of music theory that has made it simple to understand. I am not a person that is musically gifted with the ability to hear notes for note etc but now I have a basic understanding of music theory and I can build on this understanding of the basics. Fantastic work and so well explained. I am a teacher in electrical theory and it just clicked with me as he has summarized and kept it so simple. Once again well done. Thanks Rosco

Oh gosh, I finally get it !! This is so so good. Thank you so very much !!

This video really helped me understand the basics of music theory, you explained everything very well thank you.

Great refresher --clearly presented. Thank you.

Brilliant lesson, so many mysteries explained in a way I understand, many thanks.

The Best i ever watch!!Thank you sir God Bless You🙌🙌🙏

I knew steps 1-7, but step 8 is new to me and now I see why some chord "sequences" sound better to me than others. Thank you!

This is the most clear explanation I’ve seen! Thanks 😃

That's exactly what I want, how the music is formed. Now I begin to understand to make some musics out of these notes. Thank you very much!

Very well and humbly explained. Well done. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Best video that comprehensively. explains the basics of chord theory easy for anyone. Thank you so much 😊

That was clear, concise and to the point. Superb explanation!

I'm old, but basically new to music theory. I have never understood how scales are created. This is very helpful. Thank you! This makes perfect sense.

As someone who has always felt music intuitively, but then music theory hits me like an alien planet ...this helped my brain sort things out.

So informative, i knew most of this due to learning on guitar tricks but this made it so much more clearer. The guy explains this very well and simple. Thanks

I hope he has another video covering all the rest of music theory in this format that was awesome 👌 👏

This helped so much! Thank you so much Nate.

Awesome video. Self taught trying to put something together and after waching this video everything is more clear now. Thank You!

This was the best music theory video I've ever seen! So easy and precise!

This is the best video ever made on music theory! Thank you!!

This was a fantastic tutorial. This made a lot of sense and really helps a lot!! Thanks so much.

Thanks I was searching KZread for long time about major scales you made me understand it easily😘

Great video! quick and simple explanation

Thank you so much for this explanation, it really rich content for beginner.

Very clearly explained. This guy is a great teacher 👍

This is awesome! Very clear to understand thank you so much!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I have been trying to find a good video on this and yours was so easy to understand! I feel like a light bulb just turned on for me. Thank you!!

Well done, thank you! Nice presentation.

This helps immensely. Thanks for the video.

Great summary and presentation!

This is the most amazing video I have seen on music theory! Most of the other videos I have watched only built more confusion.

I'm in step five, but I just had to pause and say "thank you!" This is incredibly helpful, and truly enlightening; it's all making sense now!

Fantastic explaining. Thank you

Thanks so much for comprehensive explanation of the music theory ..!!!

Wonderful video with simple explanation.
