Steve I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have never had theory explained as basic and practical as these videos, thanks man!

DUDE, I cannot express my gratitude enough. I can't stop smiling, after 10 years of playing I can finally translate the language I've been speaking. Thank you so much man.

Thanks from a guy from a small village in India with a population of nearly 200. You have changed a life with your lessons, I'm highly grateful.

What makes Steve better than most is his ability to transfer his knowledge in an easy to understand and engaging way. Thanks a lot for sharing these.

This is the clearest guitar music theory video series I've seen. I've only watched 3 videos so far and have already learned so much! Thank you!!!!

you are the first person to make me understand this stuff

Easier than I thought to understand. Man.. I've watched 20+ video's of his over the last few weeks. Learned more from him in that time then I have over the last 10yrs, lol. No joke. I'm a drummer of 30+ yrs, mastered it. Looking into learning Guitar as hobby for the last 10yrs. Thanks for this Steve, excellent teacher.

After playing guitar for over 25 years, I learned soooo much today. Can't wait to watch the rest - GREAT lessons!

1 year and finally it made sense .. thank you very much

I just started with guitar as my first instrument and I've been searching high and low for someone to explain this topic this well. Thank you so much for this video, as I haven't found anyone else to explain how scales, keys, chords all fit together. I obviously have a long way to go but this helped me wrap my mind around how things work in music.

That double take at 9:09 was awesome. It really made me feel as if im right there learning with you. The way you teach by pausing and responding as if ive just answered really makes me feel involved. Im literally having fun learning this and its so shocking, because this is normally boring shit. Im so thankful for the time you have put into these videos. Sincerely, thank you.

A+ quality content. Thanks.

ok this is where i have to stop and review the past videos. Really thankful for you doing this. I've learned a lot more just today than in the past year of attempting to teach myself music. right on man

I am so glad that I found your videos! I've played the Piano, Sax, and am now learning the Guitar. I learned basic chords, and felt that "empty" feeling you talk about. These videos have helped me grasp the concept of not only how the guitar works, but also the relationship between notes, frets, and chords. THANK YOU!!!

Steve, you're an awesome teacher. Thank you for putting time in to teach us. You ROCK!!

phenomenal instructor, I've learned more and gotten better by watching your videos than I did taking private lessons for 6 months. The instructor I had was a great player and a nice guy but he is not a great teacher, thank you so much

You are the first person who ever explained what makes a major or minor cord- wow

I've watched many videos on youtube trying to understand music theory.. none compare to how easy you made it 👍🏼 I've watched over and over and never gets old

Awesome! The core of the chord... that with the scales theory and the “modes” really cleared my mind

This is by far the best instructional video on KZread. I have always been so dumb when it comes to key signatures and this video really helped me understand it. I have subscribed and can't stop watching!

Just phenomenal! I can't believe how much sense this all make. It was all a mystery, but it's just so crystal clear now. Thanks a million!!! You are a great teacher~

Hey Steve, very well explained and very engaging with a lot of passion. You kept me watching for 3 videos in a row after a long working day. Greetings from Germany...

This is hands down the most helpful music theory/guitar instruction on the internet. I have learned more from Steve's video and teaching style than I have from any other source. Keep up the great work!

Steve = Guitar GURU.

This is awesome! 22 years, I've been playing. It lost its luster for me, because I didn't understand why, or how. Now FINALLY! I'm beginning to understand. Thank you so much! It doesn't do justice to how grateful I am. But that's all I can say. I will purchase your entire course as soon as I'm able. You really are a phenomenal teacher.

I have been searching for this type of video for awhile that doesn't put me to sleep and you nailed it! Thank you!

I really love these videos Steve. You are a terrific teacher and make seemingly complex piece so simple. I'll keep watching them as long as you keep putting them out, Thank you Steve

You are the first teacher help me understand Basic guitar chord,thank you Steve

This is the best course study (theory) I've seen on KZread. I would encourage all newbies and intermediates to first , watch the first two parts then watch this part and follow along with the ensueing parts. I know I'm catching them all!

Nice tutorial...

Thank you Steve. I too am "self taught" and have just picked up songs by ear without understanding why. Watching your videos is clearing up the mystery. Way cool. You've simplified this theory in a simple way. Nicely done.

you have opened up a huge world of guitar for me with your videos thanx so much for showing things to me that others wouldn't or haven't

This stuff is invaluable!!! I've been playing for 15 years. I quit drinking 3 years ago and when I cleaned up I realized I had very little clue as to what I was doing outside keeping a tight rhythm and playing small fills, so I quit playing altogether. I recently picked up the guitar again and I'm determined to learn the instrument correctly this time so it all makes sense and I can technically let music play itself. The feeling I had is that something was missing which connected all the pieces together so it could flow. Stumbling across these tutorials is a blessing. I have to say I'm impressed with your professionalism and ability to break this information down in a manner that is easily digestible. I'm excited to learn music theory and technical applications, excited to play again. NOW if I can just work around all these bad habits I developed the first time around :D Thanks Steve!!

this was dope

I'm glad you're actually properly teaching this. My respect for you just increased 1000 fold...

I wish I had a teacher or friend like you. You truly have gift of teaching music and your attitude is just respectable. I have been playing guitar for 10 years with zero theory. Just two videos of yours and it just made so much sense in what I was doing these many years. Wow!! Thank you thank you. People like you makes youtube such a great place. :)

Amazing teacher.....

Seriously though thank you! This is epic. I've been playing for years and terrified of theory. Recently been tackling it (for like the 10th time) and this feels like someone turned a flashlight on in a dark room. Thank you!! You're doing gods work please keep it up :)

You do something that is quite rare but rather coveted by teachers of any discipline: impart intuition. Thanks for the intuition!

Steve, thank you so much for making music theory fun and understandable. I'm just stoked at how fast I'm able to absorb this stuff. You are a great teacher.

sir what is 2 and 1/2? how would i know if it is 2 or 1/2? thanks :)

I definitely lost you on this video haha

This may just be the most helpful channel that I have ever come across. Thank you so much for the help!!

Steve, you absolutely rock! I'm a classic rock cover solo who's been gigging since I was young and thin - 42 years. Being mostly self taught, I never learned the theory behind what I was playing. But you changed that amigo! I have learned more about theory in the last week than I have my entire performing life! You connected so many dots for me a can't even tell you. I had no idea had much I didn't, OR how much I knew but didn't know I knew it!! You've made me a better musician and, as I move from the cover scene to the original music arena, 'you've already improved me songwriting. Amazing. You're a fantastic teacher. Thanks, and keep those vids coming!! ScottyP, Tucson

''all spastically like that' - wonderful

mister Steve.... please 'splain. . how do i determine 1 & 1/2 ... C to E is 2.... E to G is 1 1/2. ? I'm confused. eg: c, d, E ... e, f, G ! Each is same distance 1, 3, 5 chord so WHAT determines the half? Thank u for the great channel..glad i found this!

There's no sharp/flat between b/c or e/f so take that into account, your losing a half step between those 2 sets of notes/chords that you have between all the others. Hope that helps.

8 years of playing guitar trying to learn music theory for guitar, I took formal guitar lessons for several months... but no one has made it as easy to understand as this man

I love your approach and positive attitude Steve. Keep sharing!!!

I have played guitar for a while, but just recently started to take it more seriously and watched this. Mind... Blown!

The previous video I left wanting. This video I leave with my mind filled with inspiration. I am starting to get it now. Good job.

This is the first decent explanation of chord structure I've seen . Thankyou for making it so clear and easy to understand.

Chords are stacked thirds.... mind BLOWN! Thank you for these lessons!

....aaaand save this video too. Steve Stine has studied these concepts fervently, and we get to benefit. Gotta love KZread. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Steve!

i want to thank you for these videos. I've been playing guitar and many other instruments for over 35 years. I love theory. But the problem I have is finding someone who explains things in a way that I can understand and relate to and then use in my own musical exploration. I am on my third video of yours right now and I had to take the time to tell you thank you, because I really enjoy the way that you explain things. I look forward to watching more videos from you. rock on maestro!

Thanks so much Steve! I wish I would’ve learned this when I started playing years ago. The fretboard is now less of a mystery thanks to you. Your lessons have really made me excited to keep learning more!

I am a beginner I am a huge fan !! I have been looking all over for the real deal teacher. I believe your the real deal and you explain it so easy to understand thank you!!!

Steve I have been playing for 29 years and no one has ever taught me more so easily. I am self taught and have never understood the frett board so well now after your courses wow.

Love how you explain it really helps understand confusing at times but makes sense practice is key

this video alone is one of the greatest music theory videos I have ever seen. I mean it broke it down and made me understand how different notes come together to make a chord. Steve Stine is a badass. about to buy your course. wish I could do one on one with you.

I just have to say you are by far the best teacher I have seen yet. I have played guitar for 15 yrs and have always had questions about different things. I learned more in this video than I have with countless hours of books and other crap. Awesome job man.. keep it up!!

This is excellent. I have had issues remembering how to figure out the notes in a scale, and this took away all of the smoke and mirrors that i always thought were there. Great,Great, Great.

I remember this guy from when I was learning a few years ago. Great teacher.

Steve you're EPIC!! Definitely had a couple mega-revelations tonight just watching the first three videos of this course. You're a phenomenal teacher!! Thank you so much!!

Dude you are a awesome , lamens terms teacher,cant thank you enough for taking the time to explain this your way,simple and understandable!

You’re literally the BEST guitar tutor I’ve ever seen. Awesome work, man. Please continue. You’re making a real difference.

The best teaching style on KZread regarding music!! Thank you so much for doing this!

Steve, singular work my friend. Been playing for over 30 years and never took time to learn the theory. Now I'm knitting it all together of why I play all the scales and notes I've been playing for blues etc all these years. A huge, huge help and it's moving me forward from where I've been stuck for years. Thank you sir.

I'm so late to find this channel, but glad KZread finally put it in my stream. There's lots of great information about all aspects of guitar on KZread, but I have to say you are the teacher I've been looking for. Keep doing what you're doing man. I hate Facebook, but I love learning guitar properly more. So I guess I will be looking you up there. I would definitely take your courses.

its astonishing how you can make something that seems so distant and confusing easy to understand and remember. youre a great teacher steve. thank you.

Great. You can read as many books as you like but sometimes its not easy to understand. With someone demonstrating it in plain language and in bite size chunks it begins to make sense. Thanks v much Steve, now changing key is so much easier.

Tried numerous theory videos so far, yours by far are the easiest to follow. I like how you follow the whiteboard up with applying it to the fretboard. That’s helpful

Mind. Blown. Seriously... This all makes so much more sense to me now. Awesome stuff!!!

Great explanation,...... Easy to understand.... I have not done music earlier,.... But I gathered lot from your lessons. I'm 64 years old. Trying to learn how to play a guitar. Almost 4 months have been trained. I anxiously watching everyone's lessons. Thanks to everyone who paid an attempt to serve own knowledge to the society. A big thank to you master.

Steve, you are a very good teacher. Very patient. You also seem like a genuinely nice guy. Thanks!

Steve's instructional vids are extremely informative. Thanks for all your help! !

I have been exposed to these concepts in a variety of different ways over the years. But they never took, uh, root, in my mind. But the way you've broken it down and explained it, makes it so easy to grasp. Thank you. You're a great teacher.

Two minutes in and I was already inspired to write a song. Great for relearning info I had lost prior.

Love these videos, they help me make sence of what I am trying to play. Thanks a lot.

I would like this series a million times if i could, dude ive given up so much on music theory in the past, but you make it so simple. You are a great teacher. keep em coming!

You are so awesome! You answered all the questions I had in my head...and then some! I cant believe any other enthusiast or teacher I have used, could explain this to me so simply, methodical and riveting. I am a fan, you have a convert! I am right handed, but taught myself left handed on an American Standard Fender Telecaster. I love my baby (tele), and you have given me more enthusiasm for my "Passion for Life". I thank you sir.

First video of Steves I ever watch a year plus and at least 6 coures later, cant see working with anyone else, Not sayaing there arent any other good instructors but with Steve i get it, the breakdown follows a logical order with just the depth needed for a subject that i understand the concept enough to apply and use. in a past life i was an instructor, course design instructor and test administrator / proctor for Dept of the Army, I dont remember ever seeing or working with any instructors that focus not only on the subject but also the learners capabilities, directions and influences Thanks Steve youre an excellent teacher and motivator.

I have been playing music since 1987. This man is the REAL DEAL folks. By FAR, the best guitar teacher I have ever watched. Simply AMAZED !!

wow..this really woke me up......thanks soo much ,,im 66 yrs young... and now i have learned more in this video....than what i have paid for classes in 20 + years....

This is real eye opener! And it's so easy to understand! Thank you for posting this, this could open a lot of doors for me and my band when it comes to writing songs :)

I'm just starting guitar but I've had a handle on music theory but never knew the why behind all of it and knowing why helps everything to make sense now. The way you explain things makes everything easier than I've set it out to be, so thank you for your videos!!

Outstanding Steve! You've explained a lot of what I was trying to learn on my own! Keep it up!

I watched this video 2 months ago right after I bought my new guitar . And I didn't watch till the end cos I didn't understand what he's talking about . But now I understand every single thing that he says . What an amazing teacher ! Wish me luck

im 37..started guitar, then stopped...Looking at yourvideos, has given me so much to learn and feel confident..Thank you from my soul :-)

Mind = blown, you sir are an amazing teacher. I just picked up guitar a couple of months ago, stumbled onto your videos. I'm buying your course because you are by far the best teacher on KZread. Keep it up brother!

Finally, you explained this in simple way I can wrap my head around. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for doing this !! I subscribed after your second video, which was actually my first! Keep going please !! :)

Thanks thanks I love your lesson. I play the guitar for over 20 years by ear with tablaturs I also read my notes and never really understood how it actually worked. Am a french canadian who really loves your lecon.Merci !!! Thank you

Man.. I am so grateful for finding this video! Thank you!

Just wanted to mention that I have found your teaching one of the best. You have an ability to articulate the 'technical into non technical terms. you choose your words with the way Knofler or Gilmore would choose a note. Also the tempo in your teaching makes perfect sense. Non threatening but extremely powerful and effective. I am now on my way. Thanks, Steve! GC

Steve you should teach a course for guitar instructors. I have never seen one as clear and precise. I am not trying to butter you up, but it's like a God given gift you have.
