Perhaps I clicked on this video just to hear another "muhahaha"!!!!

For the first time in all these years of watching videos of theory, I finally understood how modes work😢Thank you Shred! You just said the things in the right and simplest way, and it clicked!

Muhahaha! I'm familiar with intervals but I would have never thought to present them as you did with specific songs as reference ~ very nice!!!

I've always been frustrated with music theory . I can play shit that sounds really good and with good rhythm and timing. People around me tell me I'm good but I don't have a clue WTF I'm actually playing . I know that if I learned theory it would take me to another level . Hope you can help me Shred . ✌

I started watching your videos about a month ago and have made more progress in this month than I have in the last year.

This is like a workout for the brain! Learning so much you never knew existed, it's so rewarding

Greetings. Man Thank you, Thank you. Finally, music theory is making a lot of sense. I have been seeing that circle in all my books and have not been able to make any sense of it for the last 5yrs, you come along and in a matter of moments i have a basic understanding to start me running. Stay metal.

Finally! This is exactly what I been looking for! A step by step method instead of being thrown in the middle of the ocean

I'm always impresssed with the new and creative ways you subtlety flip me the bird in your videos🤣

I learned the minor scale first, so every other scale gets referenced back to that for me.

Great video. I love how you apply application to the theory. I never knew that iv V of the scales create tension to return to the i until i saw your video one day. Been using that since!

This is great stuff! Been getting into playing things other than just basic chords over the last 5 years. Never really learned any of these musical terms, but very easy to follow along. Even figured out shine on You crazy diamond was a minor 7th while you were lecturing.

this video is the pinnacle of theory for guitar thank you master muhahahahha

I really like this guys content, he really knows his stuff. Im new to learning guitar and trying to learn music theory feels like your 5 years old and your dad throws you into the ocean off his boat without a lifejacket. But this is pretty clear, gonna have to watch it a few times to fully grasp, but good stuff. Thx

I’ve never thought about being a singer/songwriter until a few years ago. One of your videos helped me conceive nearly two full albums of tracks. I’m not ready to sing yet, but I could see myself reciting lyrics on stage. So, that’s what I’m going to do with my tracks when I’m not home practicing the singing.

I honestly think the comment I left on your short video about sweep picking inspired you to make this video. I really appreciate that.

By far one of the best videos on music theory on YT!!! This made everything so clear by showing how it all works together in a frame work that anyone can understand \m/

papa shred thank you a lot!!! gonna get me a whap juice to start hitting those scales!!!!!

I’ve watched all of ur videos on music theory, looked it up, have watched every KZfaq video on it, and I still don’t get a single thing

Never ever understood modes until this short lesson. Wow. Modes unlocked!!! Thank you

Hey Shred. Every time I try to fard, I shid. Any tips and not shiddin pant?

Thank you so much for using examples of these concepts are used in songs, it's really helpful

Thanks for the video and the breakdown!!! Your guitar tone sounds heavenly.

Morning coffee and a fresh video from lord Shred! This will be a good day :D

Best music teacher ever. I am so happy that i discovered your channel.

I knew you were a little crazy already. That thought was confirmed by your untrimmed strings. All jokes aside this is actually one of the best videos on music theory and is super easy to follow.

beautiful job thanks

You think if i go into a coma and have someone play music theory videos on some headphones directly to me id know how to use it when i wake up?

You're amazing... CHEERS!

Used to hate the muhahahas’ but now I sit there waiting for it

You've explained modes in more clarity than I've ever hear before.

You are awesome! Very fun to watch

I love having my music Locrian ala mode.

I sorta understand but at the same time i feel like im being pumped with some information i dont need

I have officially found my favorite Metal Music Video. Hail to the King by Avenge7. Wow. Had to listen 3X in a row.

Shred is the coolest guitar teacher 🤘

Shredmaster Scott is the only reason I am not failing music.

Thanks for this shred, im gonna take this knowledge to my guitar lessons and apply them to my playing so i can write actual good songs

If your under high school, taking band class can really help. In middle school I played in percussion and in marching band HS I played Xylophones. I learned a lot of music theory like circle of fifth, how to practice properly, and a lot of great shit in Middle school/HS. Great way to read music and understand guitar is a weird piano. :)

Yea this has always been like trying to understand Japanese or any foreign language...it gets overwhelmingly confusing for me when it comes to any "technical" guitar stuff the way i guess i try to improve my playing is just by constantly trying to learn new riffs and solos from some of my favorite bands but from someone whose been playing for 27yrs but haven't really improved much...I had a tough time just trying to get a guitar that I can afford that aesthetically fits me for my best playing. Because I'm a lefty but have mainly owned right handed strat body knockoffs and first issue was I started playing a right handed guitar upside down. So the strings were reversed for me but I could play songs just by ear but after years I realized I couldn't even play general power chords (try playing a power chord reversed....its really akaward) so eventually paid to get the nut piece from a left handed guitar so the strings would be correct and that was basically like relearning guitar all over again. And then realized I can hardly solo low on the fretboard because of the lower horn was closer to my low E string instead of the high E. And havent had a guitar that i could bend the strings up a whole fret with ease like I see peoples guitars on KZfaq vids so those types of things sort of hinder me from my full potential. But like i have trouble trying to follow just tabs because i dont really have a reference on exactly where im at in a song and get lost trying to learn solos through tabs or I know what strings to play on what fret but I dont know how its picked and it gets confusing. Ive always just played what I wanted of mainly cover songs and did everything willy nilly with no structure or technical playing i just liked to learn songs by ear and whenever I get stuck I look up guitar lesson vids on here and I actually learn alot from just covering my favorite guitarist and learning their styles of playing

You've absolutely cleared up my confusion about the scales vs modes. i'm about to go and write six hundred and sixty six new riffs with this knowledge, muahahaha

This works well with a self taught musician as myself. Thank you Papa Shred!

Brooooo , I really want A les paul like that! (even tho i am a bassist) . Also your videos are amazing and they helped me a lot!

Shred is the man

WHOM R YOU?? Had to subscribe to you. Saw the Kirk Hammett, Friedman video & you had me LOLOL.

I enjoy just relaxing after work putting on some of your vids and just jam out lmao 😂

Just learned about you but it makes me really wanna relearn all this

I think of modes like accents in speech. It's the same language but with a different "accent"

I know you already know this but you are the coolest guy on the interwebs.

I'm using the Guitar grimoire and learning MANY different types of scales, is that considered music theory? It includes a lot of information similar to this

If you think this type of theory is brain busting, check out Arnold Schoenberg and try completely understanding smoothly modulating between and threw all of the different keys. Highly recommend Pierrot Lunaire it has some asbolutely jarring and phenomenal key changes. Schoenbergs chart of regions is one of his great contributions to music.

Guitar theory with fitness workouts great stuff.

Not sure how OBVIOUS it might be to ppl still learning Shred... But one thing u don't mention ... Is that the FIRST TWO NOTES of your sample riffs are where the discussed interval is ... U kinda gloss over that small but crucial detail when u just call out and play the entire riff... Ppl might be wondering where the example of the intervals are ... And that's the FIRST 2 notes of the riff/melody y'all...

I'm studying the Level 2: Intervals part. I'm checking the notes in the fretboard with the songs presented to figure out which interval is used at each part of the riff. I have it figured out for all of the songs except for the ones shown in the Major 6th and Minor 7th examples. Can someone explain which notes are the ones that use each interval? For Man in the Mirror I see that the first two notes are: B-D. However when I count 9 semitones from B I get G#. Also, the next two notes are E-G. Again however, 9 semitones from E lead me to C#. Am I missing something? Is it used in the next notes? Also for Man in the Box, I understand that first notes are what we could a unison since the root of the chord and the single note are the same ones. But the last two notes appear to be B-D. 10 semitones from B lead me to A however. I would like some help. Correct me in anything I have wrong, I've just started out learning.

Nice lesson as always Shred! Is that a 60s LP standard? Sounds great!

Really helpfull video! Thanks! I apply the circles of fists every day now!

That evil laugh takes me out😂😂😂😂. Mu Ha ha ha

Me: I hope this can teach me music theory The video: 1:15 immediately flips me off

12:07 "a scale within a scale" is not a great way to think about it in my opinion. it's a scale DERIVED from another scale. 'within' would be more suited to describe a pentatonic (but even then thats a bad description as it is its own independent thing).

This is 100% not the last time I watch this videp

3:17 Master Of Pupetzzzzahh

In poland we have H note wich is B But we also have B note wich is A#

A better example for the blues scale would have been Jump In the Fire

What i don’t understand is, say you have a melody! How do you know wich key suits best for the melody?

Thank you brother great as always 🤘🥵🤘💧💧💧

i'm breaking a mental sweat.... looking at those strings!! please clip!!!!

Lol! Stellar instruction but also funny! 🎉 ahhhh!! My brain is on fire!!! 🔥 muahhhhaaaaa!!!

Could you do a video on making a metal Fague? Maybe with a polyrythm guitar chugg?

I get music theory, but what do I do now? How do I apply it to actual playing?

Unreal thanks for this❤

The video every guitarist needs!

i just don’t understand how these songs translate to the modes. i’m looking at the modes and the songs and they don’t sound alike or have similar notes. am i missing something? like i get what modes are, but the examples are tripping me up

Very helpful thx

*YES*

twinkle twinkle little star is also now i know my ABCs too. thats what i learned, thank you.

How does the tritone go from 5-7 to 666 to 3-2-2-1 or something what are you talking about

Does Crawling from LP use the minor 7th? That was the first thing I thought of when you played the interval.

I'm glad to finally see someone who uses the same 'just get out of the way' technique when locking the strings on the neck. I no longer feel alone however it's still an absolute disaster

Tom Petty - Here Cums My Girl part nailed me so hard that I shed a tear! Great video!

So that’s what modes are. Awesome video

why are your strings not in the right order after the nut?

what a fantastic video have a wonderful day also happy holiday season ❤😊

You should listen to Mozart's Variations of Twinkle Little Star... Anything but boring and also that's not the original name of the melody as it originally was a German jig (I just say that because the German name of the piece does not mention Twinkle Little Star but you can find it if you search for that)

Got lost in lv 2

Thanks Shred, sent this to my band mates 🤫

Dude. You rock!

Wait so relating to modes, if D Dorian starts on the second note of the C major scale, would it still be “D” Dorian if we’re playing the C major scale notes and not D major?

Don’t watch if you’re a beginner, bro lost me 5 minutes in. Had a great nap though so my time wasn’t wasted 🙏

Awesome fucking video I’d look into your Patreon after watching this great explanation

Thank you Adam Sandler!!!

SPOOKAY AAAAGHHHHRRRRRRRRR AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH thanks bro

Thanks shred.

I know theory I can play the pentagon scale in any key

I didn't pick up the guitar again after all these years of struggling to be a slouch. I did pause the video to bust a quick pump after a year off...

I have such a hard time writing tunes despite having a novice grasp of the sound/theory of these intervals

This is gold

We ❤ Shred

does the sunlight inside that room hurt your eyes lol The ''too cool for you'' sunglasses? like Esteban haha

13 minutes in and my brain hurts. God I suck
