    Perhaps I clicked on this video just to hear another "muhahaha"!!!!
  • @Jdmt0992
    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!
  • @jimbrennan1181
    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!!!
  • @p-millz
    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
  • @mastasolo
    I learned the minor scale first, so every other scale gets referenced back to that for me.
  • @dr.fishman2342
    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.
  • 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.
  • @elektriceye
    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!
  • @orderknot1875
    Thank you so much for using examples of these concepts are used in songs, it's really helpful
  • @rustygribble5309
    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.
  • @mojogustavo336
    Thanks for the video and the breakdown!!! Your guitar tone sounds heavenly.
  • @KingAnimates
    I’ve watched all of ur videos on music theory, looked it up, have watched every YouTube video on it, and I still don’t get a single thing
  • @shonuff86
    Finally! This is exactly what I been looking for! A step by step method instead of being thrown in the middle of the ocean
  • @Incognito-uc9ts
    this video is the pinnacle of theory for guitar thank you master muhahahahha
  • Never ever understood modes until this short lesson. Wow. Modes unlocked!!! Thank you
  • @boyanwawa
