It takes this guy until 6:16 to get past his marketing. Totally lost interest by then.

Out of a lot of good online guitar tutors you are THE best! but I have to besmirch... 'tuned' (as in 'the way the guitar is tuned') is pronounced 'chooned' not 'tooned' and the same is true of the big tasty fish - CHOONAH, not TOONAH... just having a giggle with you Will. Amazing guitar teaching - thanks to you this is now the most enjoyable and fathomable part of my 30 year guitar journey!

Thank you sensei 🙏🏻

I've been meaning to get into funk for awhile, do you have any band recommendations I could get some inspo from?

Amen

Very intelligent and articulate guy. Absolutely knows what he's talking about and how to transfer what's in his head to yours. I've just ordered his two books from Amazon "Music Theory for the Self-Taught Musician" Level 1 the Basics & Level 2 Harmony, Composition, & Improvisation - If these are as logical and well written as the KZfaq video's (I'm sure they will be) I'll be over the moon. Will definitely look into joining his academy at some point in the future...Thanks Will - you're doing an absolutely fantastic job 🙏🎸... Mark

But in orchestra, they are almost forbidden to tap their foot following the beat/count. That was how we knew how good they are back then.

Could you give examples? Maybe play complex licks while showing your foot taping to the tempo? It’s just hard to understand what you’re trying to say without it.

Man, your videos are phenomenal. I actually downloaded the Caged one and will do the same with this when finish watching it. If I ever lose these two videos I´d kill myself. This is so well explained and so much easier to grasp then all the other stuff out there. A lot of playing guitar has to do with understanding how the fretboard works... they are mini puzzles that attach to each other in a very logical way, it just take time to build a little bit of coordination and off you go. I would like to suggest always giving us something super easy to play with the content previously explained, just like you did on the Caged video (C,G,D chords) - I felt like Jimmy Hendrix all of a sudden. Just awesome.

Not sure how you’re gonna be able to keep up with these lessons. Amazing job. One hour long and it went by like a breeze. I truly appreciated what you’ve done.

Good information. What model is your fender guitar?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi, Will. Will you ever write the third music theory book that you said your would, and if so, when? I find your videos to be painfully slow and verbose. For those with less experience, they can always slow down your videos. I want your previously mentioned third theory book mentioned in your second theory book and hope that you haven't abandoned the writing of it. If you don't intend to write that book, and want to try to make more money using YT, please let those of us who think as I do whether you will continue to attempt making money on YT, or if you really intend to write that third theory book. Thanks.

Dude, you are life-saver!

Hi, Will. Thanks for the videos. Are you currently working on your third music theory book specifically written for guitarists, and do you know about when it will be released?

Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown. I purchased your two theory books on Amazon. Look forward to reading both

You’re so good at teaching. Just subscribed. Thanks for your time, effort, and support!

So Good !!!👊 Your Caged system lessons are the best on KZfaq by Far !!!! Kudos to you- Will.

You are are doing quite good. YOu‘re explanations are detailed and well explained! Thank you

Wow! Will you're such a blessing and an amazing teacher. Please how do I get the document associated with this video?

There are so many people selling so many music courses that it’s easy to be cynical. After a lot of hand wringing, I enrolled in Guillaume’s academy and it’s beyond great. Less than a month in and I feel like I got a year of music school. The main thing is that he teaches you how to practice all those things that you “pretty much” know but somehow they never translate into playing with confidence and freedom. Will is a world class teacher and one of the most generous people you’ll ever know.

Thank's to this video! I can play like a master pro now.

Protect this man with all costs

I am only at minute 24, but I must already stop to comment that Guillaume is explaining this beautifully. :)

Hi Will, I just stumbled onto your channel and I am _loving_ all your content. I just ordered volume 1 of your book set also. 1 point though, the link above to the documents related to this video appears to be broken - I'm getting a 404.

Definitely one of the best teachers on yt ! Thank you for sharing such useful knowledge with us!

This is by far the best lesson on the CAGED system!!! Unlike other lessons that only discuss the CAGED shapes , This lesson starts with the foundation. It covers how the guitar is tuned and how chords are created, how the Major & minor 3rd work, how the B string impact chord/scale shapes. The part about the sister/symmetrical shapes is an eye opener and makes complete sense as to finding the roots on the E, A & D string. You don’t need any other CAGED lesson after watching this. Just a brilliant way of teaching and making sense of everything. Guillaume, vous êtes un trésor!

Hey man! I have that exact same shirt!

Thank you for putting up great content. I have been returning to your channel ever since I first stumbled upon it maybe a year ago. High quality, one of the best teachers

I love the long format. Every other guitar channel I'm always thinking- play another example, explain more... On your channel I feel full of information at the end.

Alter the CAGED system in these ways. 1) Even though CAGED forms an easy-to-remember word, the guitar’s lowest note is E so it’s also EDCAG; 2) add in the b7 so it’s not just a triad of 1-3-5 but 4-note Dominant 7 chord that completes the harmony available within the octave (1-3-5-b7). Play over a one-chord Blues vamp of just E7. - Now here’s 5 shapes that start on just the DGBE STRINGS: 2130, 2434, 6757, 9797, 999-10, and finally 14-13-15-12 (where that pattern starts to repeat). - Now play those shapes again but this time with the low-E string droning under all of those shapes on the DGBE. - Do you hear how that is all E7 but used for playing all over the neck? That is how those shapes, and also the scales contained within those shapes, are connected together as a sort of pathway from the open position to the 12th fret. Try it and you’ll understand this explanation!

thank you so much Will you are a gifted teacher. I am an enthusiastic 76 yr old learner. i am learning so much, thank you for your generosity, God bless you, Billy Gebbie

I have been playing for 30 years and this has never made sense, until this video. Keep it up🎉

7:45 video starts

This is really good coming up to intermediate level. The fret number would helpful at times, on the Box links etc.All the information in one place like this is very helpful, if you’re learning on your own without lessons

Propper! I love the detail and the walk through and the time stamps.... I dig it dawg! thank you!

I have a question about the example of the chord progression in Fmaj. How do i distinguish between Fmaj and Bfmaj or Gm? Thank you for the great content! /Emil

you talk too much
