@AaronAnsuini
I’ve spent YEARS trying to learn this. No one EVER explained how anything was connected, so I’ve never been able to confidently incorporate any theory into my playing—I just learn songs and separately learn random bits of “theory”. The way that you explain everything not as separate things, but as parts of a whole that follow a logic… it FINALLY makes sense. I can see it in the songs that I play. Holy shit, thank you.
@laureness
Definitely not for beginners who have no music theory background, but as someone who knows a little bit of guitar theory this was a really helpful reference. Thank you!
@keyboarddeserter
That explanation of how the scale modes are derived from other scales has just changed my world haha thanks
@karokkiolo2491
If you've got a little bit of music theory this is a damn good lesson
@sirnatanielson
I've been playing for 18 years, mostly a rhythm player. Those visual graphics REALLY helped clarify and make sense of basic scales. Instead of just camera showing the scales by playing them backwards and upside down, it made it more sense explaining the modes to the scales. Awesome

I thoroughly enjoy your order of operation teaching style. There are no frills, no filler, no introduction with channel advertisement. You just give information that is important and explain why it is important. When you did the robot voice and impression of every other music teacher in the world, I laughed. Its funny because its true.
@williammaple8857
I just starting playing… What on Gods green earth did I just watch. I don’t understand what I just learned 😂
@life.as.a.duck.336
THIS IS FANTASTIC, IT MAKES SENSE FINALLY
@WeGetTheSame24
It took me 4 sessions with this video to finally understand it but you are an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@ricktomaski603
You, Mike are a gift! Thanks for these tutorials. I'm a visual and hands on guy, so you have hit both of my learning styles in one of the most beneficial tutorials that you have. Now, time to do my part and implement this 16:11 into everyday practice. THANKS!!
@HIIMB12
Got into theory not long ago but been playing the guitar for a couple years bro you are a genius in the way you teach keep up the awesome work im mindblown
@tetragem1887
i’ve been playing music for years and this video opened my head. i’ve been to school and still learned probably more in this about theory than anything else. the single info bit about how all modes are just derived from ionian make music and understanding it much easier.
@jonchristianmanuel5508
This seems like a really informative video, but still lost in some concepts, when is it the approiate time to re-watch this? Because I am completely lost as as beginner
@BushcraftingBogan
This was perfect! Perfectly explained. As a beginner I immediately began playing like Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townsend! After watching this I lit my guitar on fire and smashed it on the floor. Thank You!
@miguelserrano1892
mike thanks i am a beginner started late im 54 and love how you explain music theory. learning guitar has been a challenge, i not only want to play guitar your teaching has made me want to understand what i am playing and how to eventually construct my own music. i describe it like putting on a new pair of glasses and its becoming more clear for me.
@AmelieScott
I wish I had you as a teacher 30-40 years ago. I have been playing acoustic guitar all my life, and have recently decided to learn more about the electric guitar. This was so helpful! I might need to sign up for your paid classes. YOu are a VERY good teacher - and that is my profession!
@groehlfan1
As an absolute beginner to the guitar, I can say I get it. At first I was completely lost but I hung in there and it made sense when I saw the circular diagram. Mind blown. Great job on explaining a difficult subject!
@nicholasboyle7276
I’ve been playing guitar for 8 years and never had scales explained so well. THANK YOU
@ioanniszoumpoulis8658
To be creative and write your own music, you do not need all that... you need a great heart and a great ear...
