  • Holy hell man, you've done it! You have distilled everything that was jumbled in my head that I've learned over the years and made it a comprehensive easily digestible lesson!

    Omg! I'm 67 years old and very dense. You have made me see this... finally! Omg! I've struggled. Too many YouTube-ers confusing this simple concept. Did I say Omg!
  • I am a student guitar player at age 72, after two years of trying this guy's techniques and that guy's techniques on YouTube, I have to admit "Active Melody" learning system is TOP SHELF!!! And this video, is a WEALTH of information, THANKS MAN !!!!

    Spent 2 years learning the Notes from my stroke doctor said I could never learn this or anything. Hell bent I stumbled on this video. Lifer now Thank you so much !
  • One of the easiest explanations of the CAGED system I've seen. Really opened my eyes on chord progressions and ties what I know of the pentatonic scale.

    Best lesson for CAGED system. I was trying to play the C and G shapes up the fretboard and it was so hard to do the fingering. No other YouTube teacher I’ve seen ever said differently. Best advice I’ve heard for the C and G shape is “no one plays it that way”! Thank you!!
  • Mind… blown! After 40 years of struggling with learning and forgetting chords you just changed the way I see the guitar forever. I’ll be on this channel a lot from now on.

    I too am a student guitar player at age 63. I used to play back in my twenties and then life got in the way. I picked up the guitar again on the advice of my shrink. It's a wonderful way to deal with life threatening depression. This man's method is right in line with the way I learn best. Thank You for helping me and May God Bless!!
  • Musicians, Did you just watch and listen to this post? You did ? Excellent! Now go back and listen carefully and watch it yet again! This is the good stuff! Enjoy!
  • One of the absolute best beginner CAGED videos I have seen so far! Thank you!
  • @TroodosPoolGuy
    So glad you said, "well you can play it like this, but this way is easier"!
  • All the other tutors were simply rubbish. The lights came on from the get go after so many years of confusion. Thank you very much.

  • I have been watching guitar lesson videos for over a year, you are the best guitar teacher by far. Wish I had find your videos earlier. Thank you for your time, very helpful.
  • I am so thankful for this guy’s guitar lessons as they help me understand more about the nature of chords on the fret board. You’re a real gifted guitarist Sir and I appreciate it very much . Thanks a lot.
