Lesson 1 - The 6 Main Areas of Music
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Before you will understand the guitar, you have to understand MUSIC. Music is a language. It has an ALPHABET and 6 parts of speech. You'll learn about all of it here in Lesson 1. Make sure you watch our 32 video lessons IN ORDER.
Here from a Reddit post too!
I’m so elated to see the Reddit support for Scotty! I’m the person whom introduced Scotty to Reddit, literally a year ago, or days of.
It’s great to see his channel grow with the support of the community.
I am in contact with him. I expect to hear from him soon and I will update Reddit with what he has to say.
Same here 😮
I'm on lesson 19 now, half way, for all those people here who are here wondering if this course is worth the time investment.
Holy shit, it totally is. I cannot stress how much this program has taught me about music. Lights are still turning on.
EDIT: I finished the course a couple of weeks ago, I'm so happy I did. I still have a long way to go getting my ears and my hands to catch up with what my mind understands but this entire program has been incredibly useful. I don't feel lost in music anymore, nothing here seems too complex to understand. Now it's really just a matter of practice.
Thank you so much Scotty for putting this online, it's really changed the way I see the world.
wow, i got here from reddit. Hoping to continue with this course. From day onwards. - Would be great to learn the guitar as well as i can :) yay!
@@dreamkai569 basically the best theoretical foundation I've ever seen.
can you tell something that you cant do before the lessons but now you can? im just curious
@@cmhrbskndgstirmknslbrdygua5777 I knew nothing about music before trying this course. So I learned lots of things.
The thing that sticks out the most is how effectively he simplifies the complexity of the whole topic of music. The use of music by numbers simplifies everything. Rather than learning each scale and each chord in isolation, you learn the fingerings of the major diatonic and all the other scales, modes and chords are just offsets of that one unifying scale. Like how a Lydian mode is just a major scale except with a #4. So you can easily adjust from the major scale fingering by knowing the interval fingering pattern.
There's a lot more in here. I cannot do the whole course justice in a paragraph, it's amazing if you stick through it.
Now I mainly have to practice to get my fingers to catch up with my theoretical knowledge.
@@Devlarthis is the comment I was looking for
Bought the material also. For the $20 you get the benefit of following along. All the fretboard stuff and circle of fifths/fourths I was ready to shell out $20 to Amazon for a poster of and the plus of supporting the man himself. This course is legit. It’s dated but I’m 41 it hits perfect for me. Wish I seen it 20 years ago!
this will live on because of REDDIT! great lesson cant wait to continue the series!
Cant pull away from his video. Something Bob Ross "esque" about his teaching style. I like it. Points out the truths that usually go ignored for far too long.
Im the person who introduced him to reddit a year ago. I originally found his dvd set online in 2006.
I learned he had little success with the course and decided not to waste it. He offered it for free in line and had very little activity.
I knew Reddit would do Reddit’s thing when they saw Scotty’s content!
I expect to hear from Scotty soon and plan to update the community with his comments about this attention.
Scotty is something special. Truly.
Saw this on Reddit and really appreciate.
15 minutes in and this man is spitting 🔥 🔥
I just finished the entire 32 hours and I can say this has helped me more than any other more 'modern' music/guitar training lessons on YT I've ever done. Scotty is a very talented educator! As a beginner, the guitar and music scales, etc can seem too confusing and complex. You learn some open chords and a few that sound good together, but you never really get the "Why?" of it. Now after this course, the guitar (and actually music in general) has been completely de-mystified for me. The thoughful and well-organized sequence of your lessons is perfect for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of music theory and guitar.
When I pick up a guitar now, it no longer feels like a foreign object. When I find a note I like, I already have some pathways as to where to go next. I have a sense of what I need to do and what to work on to improve. I know what I don't know, and how to go about learning it. Thanks Scotty!
hey i'm just wondering if i'm wasting my time with the first few lessons as i already know my basics pretty well, would it be worth it to skip them and save some time?
@@aarongriesbach1180 Watch them at 1.5x or 2x. I did until I had to slow it down around lesson 19 or 20.
@@aarongriesbach1180 You should do them in order, even though it may be tempting to skip on. The order that the program unfolds is done in a very organized and intentional way. It's a good review/refresher anyways to go over stuff you already know.
@@erikkruthoff Thanks for the response, i'm gonna do what this other guy said and watch them in 1.5x speed
@@aarongriesbach1180 Do not skip, watch in order and learn!!!!!!!
Yup. Reddit. And I don't even use Reddit. Can't remember how I stumbled across the thread... I love the old school quality, so refreshing. Like watching a sitcom from the 70's that went at a slower, relaxed pace and didn't give you a heart attack from the over the top speed, overly dramatic acting, and constant high pace camera cuts and graphics.
Cover your ears, honey! You are a special, magical guitar! Not just a soulless piece of wood and wire. (How could you say that? She can here you, man!)
"Well, he was okay." In reference to Page is bananas. Love it! Awesome first lesson. Keepin' it real.
I was very skeptical starting this, but the moment he explained his concept of "satisfaction" I was hooked. That is an incredible insight.
First lesson in the books. I’m feeling hopeful.
Here from Reddit and bought the PDF. Great resource! That slide rule is awesome
How do more people not know about this series? It is amazing. Thank you for putting this up on RUclips! I'm going to buy that book!
Found this recommendation on Reddit today and realized I was late to the train(ing). Just completely the first lesson... sooooo good! I have been playing on and off for the past 8 years and this is exactly the structure of lessons I was looking for. I mainly learned from watching random youtube videos but never really had someone explain everything from scratch.
Thank you for uploading these for free! You are a life saver!
man, you're the real deal. thank you from the bottom from my heart. you made sure your teachings reach the broader audience even today.
I watched this in 2015 and in 2021 during pandemic, and that is awesome! I even suggested Scott sell on Udemy cuz who has a DVD player nowadays?
I went to the website and bought the book and study materials and i gotta say, that has to be the best value on the internet. Not only is there new material I have never seen and new ways of presenting the material but everything else you could imagine regarding guitar. This is exactly what I needed.
Watched on 08/12/2024. Good content. Just posting to keep track of my progress, let's try to not give up.
Been playing guitar for 10 years since I was 13, checking this out to see how valid the information given was. I adore this. No misses whatsoever. Excellent and refined thinking about music, learning, and the nature of the guitar coming from an obviously great amount of reflection. This is should be the default for anyone learning
This dude ROCKS! I (respectfully) wag my tongue in his general direction and throw devil horns.
I found you via Reddit this morning. I'm going to dive in. Seems you get it. If you monitor these at all, it seems your website is really Facebook? I need to join Facebook to get the book? Thanks!
I am also here because of the reddit thread from yesterday lol.
lol same here
Same
Same!
Same! This is very good
So true, learning (or writing) complete songs is what a true musician does. The analogy with the half-finished paintings says it all.
I picked up my first guitar at 18 years old. Spent years self learning with internet tabs and tab books of favorite bands. Got to the point that I realized the tab books were wrong and that I don't know what the hell I'm doing even though I could copy metal solos and entire songs. I couldn't even jam along with friends let alone hear a song and play along. Grew up hating music theory from a traumatic childhood piano learning experience where my parents forced me to learn it. I'm glad I came across your youtube channel and I will be devouring this material.
If you dedicate the time, you will get there. Understanding the circles of 4th/5ths and knowing the patterns, you’ll be able to figure out any song, especially pop music.
Just stumbled upon pure gold!
Thank god I found this video (here from reddit too). Precious material.
I appreciate you taking your time to teach us people to play guitar like this and so easy to get to most people don't get this gift,thank you
Reporting from reddit as well, very helpful and clear. Can't wait to see what the other 23 lessons bring!
15:29 Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood used this exact typewriter quote when asked about the romanticism of guitar.
Came from reddit to give this a try. Here's hoping 🙏
this was bloody marvelous!
wish you a healthy life ,thank you for your course
Just started watching the serious. Seen it recommended so much
Thank you so much!!! This is so helpful
1st Lesson done ✔️. 14/05/24 Tue 4:02 P.M
Does anyone know of a product I could just buy off Amazon instead of creating his musical slide ruler by hand?
Thanks for sharing. Im only getting back into music. I started learning about the 12 keys and number systems on the keyboard and now here i am going back to basics lol I really like the way you explain things. It's easy to digest, you make it sound like fun and now im looking forward to watch the rest of the series and many more valuable tips and wisdom. Thanks again and i look forward to checking out more videos :) Hi from NZ - Marie
Also here from reddit 😂 long live reddit
Also I really like this man and the way he teaches. Will watch the whole series thank you to the person who uploaded thid
Scotty uploaded these videos himself.
Thank you for the great video, i really look forward to the others!
Hello, saw this on Reddit and hoping this is the one! I have been watching other videos but I haven't found one that has clicked for me yet!
Started Oct 1st - 2024 ! (from Reddit also)
First lesson completed - June 3, 2024
I’m sure that after watching this series I’ll have people clapping and throwing money at me in no time.
👏 👏 👏 *clap clap clap* now what’s your Venmo? Haha
Thanks Reddit. Love this guy!
Excellent intro lesson. Thank you!
Me Too... thanks to the Reddit poster.
Great stuff - Much appreciated!
I'm more critical of myself then I am of others.
Question: I just started playing guitar (acoustic, and my firsy instrument ever) and I heard about music theory so I gave this first video a to. However, a lot of things here mentions, I'm not sure of-- melodies, frequencies, etc.. Should I keep playing for a few months and then come back, or will it be okay to start with his videos, despite being absolutely new to everything instrumental?
From reddit!
OLGA and Harmony Central? Wow, that takes me back.
Pathetically simple.
Wow he mentioned phish
WHAT IS THIS GOLD!!!???
THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING!!!!HIDDEN GEM.
Learning guitar here because of reddit
Can anyone who have watched it confirm that it is still a good source, being it from 1999.
Music theory stands and stays consistent over time.. so, yes.
CHECKPOINT 1 KEEP LEARNING!

Im not pertend!
This is good, but it’s also an accurate a little bit biased, Mike Stern is not better than Jimi Hendrix. Eddie Van Halen did more for the electric guitar in the last 50 years than anybody else so well Joe passes incredible. He’s not better than Eddie Van Halen in a real sense.
I think he meant better in terms of technical ability rather than influence.
He even says in the video that the jazz musicians mentioned are relatively unknown compared to their rock musician counterparts.
Stories and fluff I’m guessing anyone that doesn’t want a useless lesson should skip lesson 1
🤡
There is a lot of insightful information here.
So, you are saying he took all this time and effort to give us 32 hours full of information for free and he should have done it in 31 hours? I've gotten good information in the first five minutes.
oooooorrrrrr, you know, you could just move the hell on without being a rude jackass.
There is no fooling in Mother music !
