We are blessed for Marty to have shown us Chris those who want to learn are deserving ❤

This is quite possibly the best, most succinct, and easiest to understand explanation of seeing the relationship between scales and chords, and how to see and figure out the lesser used chords on the fretboard. Lots to unpack here. But great Chris. Thanks as always.

Again, great for all musicians regardless of what you hold, strum, beat, plunk or blow into. And no 'cracking of skulls'. I sat at my keyboard and totally got this. THX!

Would love it if you came out w/ a full course taking someone on a guided lesson plan. Your teaching style is amazing. You make things so much less intimidating than others do. You have a gift.

This lesson is ridiculously amazing Chris! Your ability to teach way beyond the mere “WHAT” and “HOW”, but really emphasize/demonstrate the “WHY” is pure gold. The way you show how fundamental music theory concepts fall into place as they do on the fretboard is, as you put it… INFALLIBLE 🙏

Marty had you a possible follower, this video sealed the deal. I’m scatterbrained and rookie as all get out, but the few main teachers I have, I stick to. Then from time to time wander around to try and fathom what I couldn’t grasp from them. This helped with a great part of that. THANK YOU!

Your lessons are great Chris. Easy to follow. I see also the chords in the scales with caged. And for my friends they said wouw, to combine chords with scales, i,am very proud to do that.Now i study the song "new kid in town" where the tonic E changed in C#m (the VI) chord go to I. And the V B7 go to the I. I must learn so much. It's not in the scale but it sound great. And that matters! Keep on your good work Chris, i'am big fan.

I have been thinking about this lesson, and the trouble I have on the fretboard - either not knowing where I am, or knowing "exactly" where I am but not knowing where much else is. And when you mention intervals as the atomic level a bit of a lightbulb came on. I need to think more about Whole step, Whole step, Half Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step . . . I tend to "get lost" when moving to another string, but I *do* know that if I am on the I on the 6th string, that the IV is the same fret on the 5th, and the V is up two frets on the 5th. So, that gives me an anchor on the 5th string to look at intervals from and get a II or III or VI and I know my root on the 4th is also down 2 frets (and 2 strings) from the root on the 6th and then that gives me my IV & V on the 3rd string. 1st string is just the 6th string again, so that leaves the (troublesome) 2nd string. not sure if this is going anywhere or not. looking at my fretboard "map" (grid of notes), and counting, I "see" that staying on the same fret, but moving up a string is 2 1/2 steps (ignoring pesky 2nd string, which is 2 steps), which I am sure is not "news" to anyone but me, lol. so I need to think about intervals more. because right now, I have the 2 1/2 steps on the fretboard, but not in the scale. if you know what I mean. but I feel like I am on the verge of "something". I won't say "a breakthrough". yet.

Ok that is cool! I can see exactly the stuff you are talking about so, yes, I would call this a breakthrough. The coolest part is that you'll only see more, never less...so imagine what the fretboard will look like to you in 6 months!!!!

@@curiousguitarist I think some of my "issues" go back to how I learned chords. it was always "your fingers go on these strings on these frets". I never had the slightest inkling what the notes were besides the obvious root. I didn't know a chord was 1-3-5, and even when I finally did know that, I still didn't (and don't!) know which string(s) have the 1, 3 or 5. well, the 1's I sort of knew. so, it was (and is!) maddening when someone is 'flatting the 3rd' and I don't know which string has the 3rd. or they say 'I add a 7th' and I think 'how would I know where to find a 7th ????' so, I've been trying to figure out "how" to learn. and then start learning.

It’s actually a sharp 4. It’s the scale tone that gives Lydian its personality.
