I neglected to learn theory in my early teen years and I got to say your website is probably the best I've found on learning scales. The Slash section is just awesome! Thanks.
Thank you for this incredible lesson on chord construction! The way you broke down the essential theory behind building chords on the guitar was both enlightening and practical. I've struggled with understanding how chords are formed, but your clear explanations and demonstrations have truly helped me grasp the concepts better. This knowledge has already made a significant difference in my playing, and I can't wait to explore further and incorporate these concepts into my music. Your dedication to providing such valuable content is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to more lessons from Theory Lab
HI YGA-Team, I‘m so happy to found your Channel. The way you explain it couldn’t be better. It is so much fun to listen and learn from you guys. If I ever get a famous rockstar, I will tell all my fans that I got all my skills here!!!! LOL A real and honest THANK YOU for that Channel and all the great work you do. Much appreciated. You got ma subscription!! I’m a BIG fan now of yours
I can't believe people are not talking about these courses more. Your videos are extremely helpful, thanks a lot. I am a little lost about which theory lab playlist to proceed though
Very very awesome series. I've played the guitar for a few years, only learning songs straight of youtube. No theory. And, trying to find a good channel to finally deal with it. And wow, such a great channel this is and you as a teacher. Recommending to friends in similar position. And you deserve to have views in the hundreds of thousands. Thank you for this, and that it is for free.
Your Theory lessons are awesome. All the other theory lessons I've tried just don't seem to stick. I have been playing guitar for 7 years off and on and can play alot songs, but have no idea about the structure of the chords or shapes im playing. Your way of teaching and explaining is very clear, better then my old guitar teacher who told me no one cares if you know music theory " just learn songs, it's all about the listener"
Hey there, Cam here! Thank you for the kind words, its great to ear that the lessons are working for you and you're taking the time to learn theory! Understanding the reason behind all the stuff can really open doors to new concepts! Great work! :)
Dan, Epiphany moment: I played open C7 chord and I reverse constructed the chord and the 7th note is Bb?!? Wouldn’t that make it a C dominant 7??? Check on Google and… it is! All the chords I know with 7 are dominant… A7, B7, C7, D7, E7, G7 (not ready for F7). No wonder Cmaj7 and C7 are different chords! Thanks for the theory and knowledge of constructing chords. Levelled up my playing and so jazzed!
Hey! It's not always true, as you can also get plenty of chord inversions. An inversion means that you use the same chord notes, but use one of the other notes (not the root) as the lowest note. However, as a beginner and intermediate guitarist, you will very often be dealing with the root as the lowest note, as you say! I hope that helps :)
Hey thanks, good question. Have a look at our Theory essentials to help with that, you can find it here: yourguitaracademy.com/courses/essential-theory/lessons/essentials-part-1 This will give you and insight to the chords you can find within a key. :)
It's weird how I've tried to learn using many videos but this small channel has helped me the most. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks, that means a lot to us :)

Hey umm sir? I was wondering what order i should go thru your music theory playlists . Could you pls help me?
is it true that the lowest (in pitch) note is the root, in most cases, when forming a chord?
Hey! It's not always true, as you can also get plenty of chord inversions. An inversion means that you use the same chord notes, but use one of the other notes (not the root) as the lowest note. However, as a beginner and intermediate guitarist, you will very often be dealing with the root as the lowest note, as you say! I hope that helps :)
Really good series of lessons but how do I know which chord goes well with each other or which key has which chords in it?
