In this video, I’ll be going over the most important music theory for guitar players. This includes learning about how notes work, what intervals are, the major scale, chords in a key, and the difference between diatonic and non-diatonic. By the end of this guitar lesson, you will know all the music theory necessary to be able to start writing your own songs, inventing your own guitar riffs, improvising solos, and even playing guitar by ear.
If you have any questions along the way, please leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them. Thanks for watching!

I’ve been playing guitar for about 6 years now ( mostly learning a song, moving on to a new one and forgetting what I had previously learned). Boy has that changed … your lessons have completely shifted my thinking process behind playing a guitar. I’m no longer playing the guitar just to play, I’m learning how and why the instrument works, thank you so very much for the easy to digest content!

If I could gift you $1 million, I would!!!! I have ADHD, & have been putting off playing my guitar because I cannot for the life of me understand what I’m doing or what I’m supposed to be doing I was told not to go the music theory route and try doing the pentatonic scale but even with that people just told me “oh, just learn the shapes not the notes & you will just get it one day by hearing it”… that did not help me at all. I came across your video & I’m so happy I did because you have explained it so well & I am so grateful! I’m literally sitting here at 3:21 AM writing down notes in my bed 😭 thank you so much for this video! You are an amazing teacher! Plz keep making videos!!

It takes a million years for me to count the notes and then figure out which chords are in the key and then remember the chord pattern that is supposed to sound good and then remember the chords again. Is this normal or am I the only one? I’m a complete beginner tho I haven’t internalized the chords yet.

I have only ever commented on videos a handful of times, but wanted to make a point to say, "thank you!"--your video helped me make the connection to the major/minor keys and figuring out how it is determined that a chord is major or minor. I have tinkered with guitar and bass since I was 13 and had a *basic* understanding of music theory; now I am 40 and taking guitar lessons again to actually improve...they have helped, but your explanation has most definitely been my "ah ha!" moment I've been seeking. Now to put it into practice and make things second nature!

Amazing video. As a self-taught player of 15 years, I learned the instrument similarly to your description, with online tabs, and yes, by doing this, I learned a lot of songs from my favourite artists, but I'm now realising how little time I've spent over the years learning theory and how having even a simple understanding of it will make you a far more well rounded and creative musician. Your info was easy to understand also.

I've been playing music for over 15 or 17 years and was stagnant in my college days (maybe on my 7th or 9th year playing guitar) onwards. Didn't exactly stopped playing but more like I stopped learning new things and just resorted to stock knowledge and noodling on my free time. Back then I've always wanted to play outside notes which is a bit of a complex subject. For me it's a matter of dedication to time given that I missed on a lot of music theory. I can't understand intervals, how chords are made, how to utilize scales in solos and chord changes so on so forth. I came across this video and you good sir made such a refresher. I guess it's not too late for me to get back to my feet and work my ass off. Thank you!

I am learning a ton of information from your content. I am from the mtv birth generation with hardly any guitar teachers around. We bought guitars and watched mtv and with a handy chord chart, learned songs. We got pretty good, but had no theory or knowledge of any relation of chords. We messed around until we made our own music. Played in worship group and wrote our own songs and traveled and played. There were major limitations to that type of playing. Finally got stuck in music, bored and gave it up for over 15 years. My daughter wanted to learn, so I picked back up my rickenbacker 650 Dakota, got her a les paul studio E, and started over. Been watching 75% of your content and 25% of another content. I am better in 6 months than I was years ago. To keep my daughters interested while we learn, she needs a few songs to jam with, along with music. So far it is a morgan wade song and big green tractor. We listen to lots of music styles but country type is her favorite. I started learning notes on each string, some pentatonic scales, solfege, different chords, and starting to see how they all work and mesh together a bit more. I will say that I am guilty of jumping around too much. Always come back to just wanting to play some music and jam with her somewhat. Do you have a suggestion of what order to learn all the content, how it is easiest to see the neck map and all the ways it joins together? Across all the different components. I am trying to let her learn some music along the way of learning guitar theory. She is pretty good on the piano and is teaching me some things about music, 12 years old!

Hey I just wanted to reach out and say that this video has laid groundwork for what I believe to finally be the final coursework for a 35 year struggle with music theory. I’m not any farther ahead than before other than I feel like your foundation truly made more sense than anything I have heard and I’ve only listened to this video one time.. I’ve struggled for all of my life and have even had some minor success with playing and keeping up with other educated musicians. I’m tired of following though, and I have been since I was two weeks into my first set of strings.. my issue is that I can’t seem to put these things in my head with any sort of structure that makes sense it seems. Quickly I find myself overwhelmed by a bunch of things referencing one another in a way that middle schoolers all over the globe pick up on with relative ease while I, even as an aging relic, can’t seem to wrap my mind around.. oddly enough algebra and trig were difficult until I was able to relate it to something tangible and then my entire world opened up mathematically and my career, believe it or not, has been deeply rooted in the mathematics I once found utterly incomprehensible… I hear music much like I experience the world.. empathically and through a beautifully cursed mind that feels minor and major keys as much as I feel a commercial for St Jude.. I wish so badly to be able to write music that I can express myself with these tools.. I’ve just had little luck with the foundation.. I think you may have finally helped me crack the code for putting down the solid ground floor and I really want to thank you for that.. I’m subscribing right now and I hope yoj find success in your work and “lots of happiness in your future! Sorry for the wall of text.. it’s just been a long journey even getting past the first page. Thanks again..

Watching your video every week seems to have become a routine for me. I have difficulty practicing the syncopation because I always have the habit of playing on the beat. It’s a bit confusing for me to tap my foot but not play the note. Can you maybe do a video about it? Many thanks !

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos. It means a lot. Good suggestion. I'm sure there are plenty of others that struggle with the same thing. I'll add it to my list for a future video. Cheers!

Bro that helps a lot can you make a roadmap type for guitarist like first stage and 2nd stage and 3rd stage that will help you a lot beacause there are lots of people who dont know what to do after learning these so it will help a lot

Good afternoon Andrew, You are amazing. I have been trying to learn the guitar for three years and theory has been a serious problem, I'm 71 years young, and I know I have to learn, at least, the basics. You are starting to clear up a theory fog that has haunted me. Is there a learning sequence to your lessons or should I just study them ad lib. Many Many thanks. I appreciate your tuition. Greg.

Hey Greg, sorry for the late reply! I've got a playlist titled "All Lessons In Order" that should help. Here's a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bd11a9Gr19uxh4E.html

I learned the song Leader of the Band by dan fogelberg and because of this video I think it's in the Key of G? because most of the chords in the song are in the G major scale?

Dude, the phone number idea is brilliant. I wish I would have heard that a long time ago. Thanks.

How do the chord progression in Sultans of swing fit into this? In the verses you'll find this segment: Dm - C - A# - A. That's three major chords after another.

it's impossible for me to tell which fret you're pressing due to the way you hold your hand. edit: still learned a lot from the video. like the whole lot. I'm so glad I finally found a lesson that resonates with me.

Excellent video summarizing previous ones! A little bit hard core if 1st time, but good to have all those key steps within single video. In your solfege reference scale @6.15, you wrote Ti... but should be Si right?

@seb7378 Жыл бұрын

I think it depends. I learnt it as Si but i ve seen Ti used before

@andrewclarkeguitar Жыл бұрын

In English-speaking countries we use "Ti" instead. But they represent the exact same thing. :)
