Hello and thank you very much Ry you have helped me to get my foot out of my tight shoes and I only need to make time to get my other foot out as well. Thanks again.
It might be because i started with all these theory when i first picked the guitar and i was of course amazed every time i found out the connections you pointed out. But more and more i find it so odd that 95% of videos and courses only talk about theory. I think we all kinda forget the fact that music is a language and much of it is how you say it, what you say, when you say, etc. And not so much about the grammatical aspect of it. I understand that it is way easier to talk about theory than to talk about feel, training the ear, rhythm, listening to music and so on. So for anyone whom may care the thing i wish i'd known sooner is that yes, it is important to know what you're playing, but it is much much more important to know what you want to play and how to make it sound good. And all these you can improve every time you listen, imitate, transcribe and play with music.
Thanks for this. Finally understanding the guitar is tuned in 4ths opened the world for me. The rest began to fall in place. Also realizing that songs in open G tuning can be played in standard tuning with three strings....a CAGED related insight and doorway to triads.
Your help in my putting together the octaves with the shapes of the chords they're named after in CAGED is something I wish I had learned 20 years ago.
Hahah! Ive been playing for 10 years and i always thought the b string note switch reversed when moving down to the 1st string😂 but it keeps it's place.. that animation there made it so much easier to see.. i am just now trying to learn the other scale patterns and the caged system, after just using the 1st pentqtonic for all my improv😂 for 10 years! Cant wait to learn these things so i can start to make my own music❤
Understanding how to easily shift scales across strings (Standard Tuning) was massive for me. I know the shape 1 minor pentatonic like the back of my hand. I can now shift it to a 5 4, even 3 string root with ease.
a game changer for me was to learn how to recognize keys in songs and what chords fit in the major scale. suddenly learning songs by ear became so much easier and more fun.
Don’t know if you do reaction/breakdown type videos but could you react to the new Intervals song “mnemonic” and breakdown some of the melodies and chords used? Thanks!
Starting out, I just memorized chord shapes and names. The focus was being able to play a song or jam with friends. Looking back, I wished I had placed more importance on understanding the instrument and music theory, but that wasn’t the priority at the time. It wasn’t the focus of most of most guitar instructors either! Mel Bay, anyone?
I just wish I'd started 40 years earlier, when my memory and dexterity were capable of learning and retaining all the theory and techniques quickly and easily

Great to hear the lesson helped 🙏🏼
Very well done - as Einstein once said (sort of) - Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, But Not Simpler - you did just that!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
same here, took me ages to get bored of power chords
Understanding how to easily shift scales across strings (Standard Tuning) was massive for me. I know the shape 1 minor pentatonic like the back of my hand. I can now shift it to a 5 4, even 3 string root with ease.
Understanding that unlocked a lot for me 👍🏻

Definitely! Once you know what chords to expect, it makes learning by ear SO much easier 🙏🏻
Don’t know if you do reaction/breakdown type videos but could you react to the new Intervals song “mnemonic” and breakdown some of the melodies and chords used? Thanks!
I’ll definitely check it out.

Gotta have fun first and foremost. Then the curiosity tends to come. The trick is in keeping it fun whilst also learning to be a better musician 🙏🏻
@@Rynaylorguitar Agree! It can be done.😊
I just wish I'd started 40 years earlier, when my memory and dexterity were capable of learning and retaining all the theory and techniques quickly and easily
At least you started! 👏🏻👏🏻

I definitely wish I'd learned the notes when I started. It would have greatly accelerated my playing.
It really does. It’s a shame more players don’t take advantage of it 🙏🏻
