Ian, I’ve played guitar for 35 years, never understood how chords and pentatonic scales went together, I just memorized songs. This video was the “Aha” moment when everything made sense! All of the sudden I’m soloing to comfortably numb, every note I hit sounded right no matter where I went because you explained the chord progression of D major and how we started on the 6th, and then we go to B and play in the minor position. I’m amazed, I thought none of this stuff was ever going to make sense. Thank you so very much for decoding this for me, the lights are finally on and I’m not lost on the fretboard!!!
Awesome to hear! It was funny I got a chart sale notification and clicked on my phone, saw your comment first and then saw the name of the person who got the chart. Thanks for the support. Means a lot.
StichMethod Guitar Ian, you cant imagine what this moment has meant to me. Literally the lights came on and I could see what I was doing. I already had the dexterity and speed in my fingers and knew the positions, so once the lights came on I went from beginner to really good in an instant! Again thank you so much I just can’t express how genuinely grateful I am. You made a huge impact in my life today on something I’ve worked so hard at to no avail since I was 10. I’m not a mushy guy, but this is one of the happiest days in my life. Thank You so much.
Watched this video the other day and practiced applying what was taught. Went to band rehearsal and we played a song that is similar in structure and I applied this video. My bandmates were totally blown away and impressed that I could play something so awesome. Thank you for making the impossible suddenly seem very simple!
Good heavens, Ian! A 5 year old video about a 40+ year old song and it's just chock full of guitar theory excellence! :O This is the first time I feel like I've truly understood pentatonic scales. Thank you so much for all your passion and insights!
the stitch method is simply the best way of learning the fretboard, I think he takes all the useful points of of 30 plus years of playing and teaching them so you just don't learn licks or scales but real stuff you can apply.he doesn't show any filler lessons (endless sweep arpeggios, 8 finger tapping,etc)all that stuff is good but more of a trick,people want to be able to hum or keep up with the music even the solos,and he teaches just that,I watch all his videos because I know he will cover something I can utilize
StichMethod Guitar for sure man,I've been playing since 1987 started with metal method,then Berklee Books and DuMeolaS book on scales and arpeggios.i think one never stops learning,and you teach a no bullshit method that u can apply ASAP, KUDOS BRO
Oh by the way I maybye use 3 or 4 of AL Dimeola arpeggios,Doug marks stuff stuck with me due to being pentatonic and natural minor related.some ted greene and Eric johnson stuff,but I'm using your method pretty exclusively, probaly gonna shoe my students but needed to clear that with you first
Is there any Guitar Player in the world who doesn't want to play this Epic Solo?😀thank you Stitch for this inspiring Lesson!Chrystal clear as always!🙏✌
For someone such as myself who's self taught and never took a lesson, this video opened up a world of understanding and,...I'm going to go play now. Great video.
Jeff Johansen Nice choice!!! I have the exact same setup. If your interested, look into Buffalo Fx or Vick Audio pedals. They make sweet stuff that can take your gilmour tone to another level. if you haven't already, check gilmourish.com. Bjorn knows his stuff.
An ‘evergreen’ tutorial! As long as there’ll be a guitar player who is just beginning to figure out how to solo, and is especially interested in what’s going on in the solo of Comfortably Numb, this video will continue to be helpful to anyone who is new to analyzing this song and it’s solo.
STICH! holy shit. I remember watching this lesson when it came out Iast year wanting so badly to play along but not understanding the concepts you were explaining. I had no idea what you were talking about! Fast forward to today, I came across this vid, grabbed my guitar and I've spent the last hour jamming over this progression using pentatonic, diatonic, chord tones, neverlost everyyyyything! I even knew what key the song was in! Fuck! I can't believe it! All thanks to you, my man! THANK YOU!
Finally how to use the relative minor / pentatonic scale (Bm) in the Major Key of D with the chord progressions. Kinda understood it now can implement it. Cool!
Just found your lessons. A real hidden gem. Great instruction, playing and insights. Love watching someone else get the goosebumps as I feel them. You're awesome. Subscribed.
Stitch sir , you are a legend !! Learned so much from you !! Bought ur course at udemy and just going on and on . Guitar playing is just leaping levels !! Thank you so much sir .......greetings from India !! You are definitely my undisputed Guitar Guru !!
Oh Yeah! Real sweet lesson, you make the concept easy to understand, thank you Ian, some people just have a way of making things simple. Great lesson for sure.
Hi Stitch. I've been playing for decades, have a music degree, and understand theory. I want to commend you on you approach that encapsulates sound theory and fretboard mastery ideas in a very casual (for lack of a better word), and understandable/relatable way. Plus, I've had this song on my radar for a long time, as it is my son-in-law's fav of all time.
You deserve huge thanks.. since I watched your appregio master class with the caged knowledge.. you really open the fret board.. my take while I solo on any key.. first find out pentatonic.. use Major scales to walk around and lending on cordtone.. wow it works
I like watching how to play the guitar, I'm not a musical person, I dont know how to play, but i love music and understand it. I never had any lessons, I'm fascinated on how music is made, in the studio and live in front of me. I watched you tube videos on pink Floyd, and its interesting to watch them create music.
I’ve been watching quite a few videos on chord tone targeting lately and whilst I understand the concept for some reason your explanation just really resonated with me. Dissecting an incredible song such as Comfortably Numb and finally having that ‘aha’ moment when you can hear that’s exactly whats happening in the solo’s and why the listener is drawn to it is such an eye opener. Great video and really inspiring stuff!
So refreshing for someone to explain the theory behind the solo and chord progressions, rather than just chasing the frets around the neck calling out the fret numbers. But it’s up to us as guitarist learning to make sure we know the key, the notes on the neck and the patterns of the scales in five positions.... if learning guitar was that easy it wouldn’t be worth it. thanks a great lesson!
The mini fuzz face is pretty good too. I have the mxr bad ass distortion pedal, it's pretty darn good. Anyway, saw David Gilmour at MSG last April and he closed with Comfortably Numb and it was pretty amazing - actually entire show was. Thanks Stich for breaking it all down for us all out here. Great Stuff !
I've watched and learned something from all of your videos, but this one was easily the best! I've never been a big fan of PF, but I can appreciate Gilmour's solos, and this lesson has inspired me to go back and learn more of them. And by the way, tell Sean he can only dream about writing one song as good as Rob Thomas' dozens of pop hits. 😉
Hello from New Mexico 🇺🇸 Mr.Stitch I picked this vedio to comment to Wish you Happy Holidays and to Be Safe Be Healthy and Be Blessed I discovered your channel in 2018 did not even knowing what guitar lingo was said know I can close my eyes and visualize what is said today I'm going over your blues lessons to burn more of it I'm my memory muscle. I enjoy your teaching you seem like a great person no doubt you are and a virtuoso it seems that I know you so again thank you for allowing me to progress leaps and bounds this is where I started and I appreciate it wow factor 100 %..take care I'll do this vedio then I'll move to the blues...Peace my Bro..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA.
The sequel WAS as good as the original. It was huge to learn what form is used based on which string your getting your root note from. I read theory, guitar for dummies, guitar for idiots, (that helped a little), and watch a good number of good guys trying to explain it, but there was always a gap. You filled the gap. THANK YOU!
This is hell to make guitar playing fun. Of all the videos I’ve seen this one really simplifies and amplifies the pentatonic scale and the way it should be used. Good one
I'm sorry, David Gilmore played that red round fuzz right? U were playn the Muff? I just want to be clear... I need to watch the video over, that's how brain dead I am...I do remember ur sound was great!
Excellent tutorial. One of the best. This IMO is how guitar tutorials should be. Not just HOW to play the solo/song but WHY the solo is played the way it is and why it works in context. Great work.
man i can't say it enough. your the best teacher i've seen or had. lots of times ive tried to learn something but i also want to learn so i can do stuff myself and make my own riffs and solos. the biggest question i usually have is....why. why did they do that why did he go there. and the answer usually when answered is because...or thats what he likes to do. this is the complete opposite of how i've been taught. everything makes sense and i feel like i could take this example and do something myself similar...and feel like i have a reason to try to bend different notes and why i would attempt that.all those teachers that were great and trying told me they were scale accidentals....there not there on purpose and for a reason....man ty and keep up the great work.
Really enjoying your lessons, you have a great teaching style and your enthusiasm is contagious.. love your lessons are loaded with theory. That Franklin's Tower video with the observation of Garcia using his country/bluegrass roots to modify the myxolodian scale, mind-blowing... keep up the great work, and thank you for posting these videos :)
Can you do a in the mind of David Gilmour: shine on you crazy diamond and talk about some of his commonly used techniques. It would be greatly appreciated, huge fan btw would be nowhere on guitar without you
I have to say, you're very good at explaining what you're doing, and what is going on. I'm a hobbyist musician, so I know the basics of the topic, but you do a great job of explaining it further. You help a lot, so thank you very much.
As others have commented, this section is in B minor. The tonality is all minor. The chords of the Bm scale are those ones listed in the video. Just starting at Bm, not D.
I think the point of difference here is that Key Signature is not the same as "What Key is the song in". The Key Signature tells you what choices you have. However, as you observe, the are two _keys_ for any key signature - even before we worry about accidentals. If you had said "this song has the key signature of D major" there would be no argument. However, the solo section is "IN" B minor. That's because the chord sequence and every melodic fragment resolves to B. In fact, a common definition of "key" of music is "the chord sequence plus the tonic". Just knowing the chord sequence (or just knowing the key signature) doesn't tell you the key. It's worth noting that (as with many things in music theory), there isn't complete consensus amongst musicians about this. The top hit on the topic, "piano.com" offers a very simplistic definition of "key" that matches yours". Wikipedia offers a detailed treatment of the topic that matches mine. Another poster said that if you walked into a rehearsal and said "let's play Comfortably Numb solo in D" you'd be laughed out. I thought so. But I googled "what key is Comfortably Numb solo in" and got a lot of hits on "D". I think this particular song confuses the issue more because the verses are in fact "in D" (in the sense of tonal centre - which for the definition I'm using is the same thing).
The pentatonic always sounds good you say? I must have an extraordinary gift then. But somehow, the more I watch from you, the less....gifted I become. Thanks again, Sir Ian
Great lesson. I wish PF had made the fading out portion of the ending Comfortably Numb lead somewhere. No one teaches that part. Everyone stops at the peak. Gilmour has never retained that feeling of the studio lead on any of his recorded live performances. Somewhere on a reel in storage is Gilmour continuing the jam.
That's the part of the puzzle. Gilmour does that to create an uncertainty and leaves it to the listener for interpretation. Theres a video that explains this thing
More off-topic stuff on the entire song.... I know everyone knows this, but I managed to not know until rather late in life , but there was no internet when I was 15 and deep into my guitar magazines, etc, long long ago. OK...I digress. The track we all love...the story of how that came together, was put together (yes, normal to do, I know) but...a person who isn't in the band making that track work so well as he pieced it together....(I'm skipping technical recording, etc. terms...I'm just not trying atm b/c I'll sound as if I think I know or recall more than I do) ....so this man took the chunks of Comfortably Numb, which Waters & Gilmour were, of course, feuding over, mainly the whole...rhythm issue, if I recall. Anyway, to be able to take what was given to him by Waters and Gilmour, not only not wreck it but....likely make it better than anything Gilmour & Waters could have put together and agreed on (and AGREED on) ...especially at THAT time? Yeah. So...it impresses the hell out of me to hear any story of what's so common, wonderful production, etc. If I recall, there was no "ok see if they like this version" option (not that this wouldn't be a can of worms and slow a process that was already ...staring at the last minutes to get it finished) ...and provides the track that we all were so moved by we can recall where we were when we first heard it, it's so perfect.... the elements being argued over were smoothed out, rather literally...and...I'm rambling. It's impressive as hell, being able to take what was given to "him" (guy deserves the name, but ...google that yourself if you're interested, I forget atm, I'm OLD) ...anyway... thank God for the man that took the chunks of what would be Comfortably Numb, and produced the FINAL PRODUCT. No more changes from anyone, that was it. Could it be improved on? Would we want to dare let someone try? It was a bit "...ahh...I don't know about this" when we first heard/read the extended rather recent iteration even existed (I say rather recent, I'm old, I measure time in full decades) THIS: ruclips.net/video/YKiWpaMkU08/видео.html (think this clip should cover "he" (Ezrin) handling the multitracks handled by Michael Cayman piecing that track together, getting the mixture of bits from all over, ...just listen to it, it's short. Amazing when you think about it in terms of what could be lost or ....nearly ruined, or...made PERFECT, but...could it have been if handled any other way? Even if we take The Wall tension out of the equation.... I suppose I'm overthinking it a bit, after all, it's "fresh eyes times ten" , sort of. Amazing though, blows my mind. Imagine hearing your song "come back" to you, now complete, ...delivered to you, wonderful, and ....would be magical to pretty much any human being that has ever heard the song. From there the song just gives more and more,
Wow this is so helpful for me learning the solo. And thanks for offering the small transactions for downloading the chart. It's nice to pay for single items.
Love the channel and thanks for the great lessons. I’ve included a link to this video in the launch of the Guitarly app. on Android. Guitarly is a free, jamming app which gives a backing track and shows the chord, chord tones and scale notes as they change over an interactive fretboard. The track can be paused/skipped and the tempo, drum pattern and instruments can be changed to inspire your soloing. We would love to feature your work but if you want this link removed (or would like to include links to other lessons) please let me know. All the best and thanks for the great lessons. Paul
Hi my name is Les , just started listening to Stitch its enjoyable, I have a question do you understand the Mega Muff affect pedals I ask because I also enjoy Santanas songs and have been trying to find a pedal that provides long sustain, Does the Mega muff provide long sustain ? Look forward to hearing from U, I am from newr Southampton
great comments on the song man! If I can add, I think it really helps to look into the mixolydian scales, which can be mixed with the pentatonics, and David uses it a lot. Its basically what you explained, since the notes you added are pretty much the notes of the mixolydian scale. Again, congrats for the video!
awesome video.. thanks... could you please do in the mind of john mayer ... why wont u come when i call live @ where the light is concert .. cant figure out the chord progression when it goes from major to minor and all that relation.. plis plis plis
Subscribed today. Unreal. Thanks for taking the time and explaining these techniques in an understandable way. I watched so much shit on you tube that really didn't help your channels been a breath of fresh air. Would love to see some more in the mind of trey lessons if you ever have time. Thanks.
Hey i absolutely love your content. Can you make one about making backing tracks? Not exactly the process for making it but the general idea. I think you'd be great at teaching it

I stop and start all the time

Awesome to hear! So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you like the rest of my channel. Let me know!
I thoroughly enjoyed that!
As one who has been attempting to play guitar for 35 years , you give encouragement !
Thank you
I came because of the Sean Daniels cameo, I stayed for the great lessons. This brought it all together!

Sooo I'm reading the comments, what pedal does he use? I'm sure it wont surprise me, I just cant think of which one
That was a Big Muff
@@StichMethodGuitar wasnt it that round red pedal?? Lol, or was that a MUFF from back then ?
Oh I was saying what I was using. I heard it was the Big Muff, could have been a Fuzz Face
I'm sorry, David Gilmore played that red round fuzz right? U were playn the Muff? I just want to be clear... I need to watch the video over, that's how brain dead I am...I do remember ur sound was great!
this video just made the lightbulb come on.. this is exactly what i have been trying to find... thank you!!! this is perfect!
Excellent tutorial. One of the best. This IMO is how guitar tutorials should be. Not just HOW to play the solo/song but WHY the solo is played the way it is and why it works in context. Great work.
Thank you brother, you are a very good teacher….✌️
Very awesome lesson. Dave is by far and away my fav. Can’t wait to go home and practice this. Thank you.

My new favorite teacher!! Finally, someone who can explain theory so I can understand it, and more importantly, Use it!! Thank you, Ian
Hands down , best guitar instructor on youtube !
Dude, you are so awesome. Great attitude, educator and talent. Many thanks for such a great inspiring video!
Great lesson on David Gilmore..like using the Bb major extended scale and bending up to note in the scale ...it’s just soooo cool
Ooh the Bb major extension in wish u were here improv
Really enjoying your lessons, you have a great teaching style and your enthusiasm is contagious.. love your lessons are loaded with theory. That Franklin's Tower video with the observation of Garcia using his country/bluegrass roots to modify the myxolodian scale, mind-blowing... keep up the great work, and thank you for posting these videos :)
Wow, great video. One of the best solos ever and you explained it to where I could understand it. You, my man, are a guitar-teaching genius!
What's amazing is that you're staying in pentatonic shape 1 and it sounds awesome. Can't wait to go home and try this
11:43. I heard Sultans of Swing vibe. nice.
bza069 yup lol
Can you do a in the mind of David Gilmour: shine on you crazy diamond and talk about some of his commonly used techniques. It would be greatly appreciated, huge fan btw would be nowhere on guitar without you
Mr Stitch your a bad man you teach great. Learning every day building a repertoire because of you...Roland
Thanks for this! Gilmour is one of my favorites! Love his style!
I've never seen the finger wiggle done so well.
I have to say, you're very good at explaining what you're doing, and what is going on. I'm a hobbyist musician, so I know the basics of the topic, but you do a great job of explaining it further. You help a lot, so thank you very much.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Ian. Very much appreciated!
Clear and concise....Refreshing approach to kissing the basics for best effect!
i'm 7 mins into this and have learned a ton of stuff. wow. i may be done for the day. thank you.
So simple, so true... Now I just have to learn by heart all the keys... Thanxx! It enlightened me:)
Wow. Man. Always blown away by your lessons. So good.
the sheer joy of playing shines through.
As others have commented, this section is in B minor. The tonality is all minor. The chords of the Bm scale are those ones listed in the video. Just starting at Bm, not D.
I think the point of difference here is that Key Signature is not the same as "What Key is the song in". The Key Signature tells you what choices you have. However, as you observe, the are two _keys_ for any key signature - even before we worry about accidentals. If you had said "this song has the key signature of D major" there would be no argument. However, the solo section is "IN" B minor. That's because the chord sequence and every melodic fragment resolves to B.
In fact, a common definition of "key" of music is "the chord sequence plus the tonic". Just knowing the chord sequence (or just knowing the key signature) doesn't tell you the key.
It's worth noting that (as with many things in music theory), there isn't complete consensus amongst musicians about this.
The top hit on the topic, "piano.com" offers a very simplistic definition of "key" that matches yours". Wikipedia offers a detailed treatment of the topic that matches mine.
Another poster said that if you walked into a rehearsal and said "let's play Comfortably Numb solo in D" you'd be laughed out. I thought so. But I googled "what key is Comfortably Numb solo in" and got a lot of hits on "D". I think this particular song confuses the issue more because the verses are in fact "in D" (in the sense of tonal centre - which for the definition I'm using is the same thing).
Ill say it again. Best guitar instructor on you tube. Fantastic lesson. Thanks stitch!
The pentatonic always sounds good you say? I must have an extraordinary gift then. But somehow, the more I watch from you, the less....gifted I become. Thanks again, Sir Ian
Great lesson. I wish PF had made the fading out portion of the ending Comfortably Numb lead somewhere. No one teaches that part. Everyone stops at the peak. Gilmour has never retained that feeling of the studio lead on any of his recorded live performances. Somewhere on a reel in storage is Gilmour continuing the jam.
That's the part of the puzzle. Gilmour does that to create an uncertainty and leaves it to the listener for interpretation. Theres a video that explains this thing
I must have missed it, what was the new pedal? Great video

This is amazing. Opened up a hole new world to me. Thank you
More off-topic stuff on the entire song.... I know everyone knows this, but I managed to not know until rather late in life , but there was no internet when I was 15 and deep into my guitar magazines, etc, long long ago. OK...I digress. The track we all love...the story of how that came together, was put together (yes, normal to do, I know) but...a person who isn't in the band making that track work so well as he pieced it together....(I'm skipping technical recording, etc. terms...I'm just not trying atm b/c I'll sound as if I think I know or recall more than I do) ....so this man took the chunks of Comfortably Numb, which Waters & Gilmour were, of course, feuding over, mainly the whole...rhythm issue, if I recall. Anyway, to be able to take what was given to him by Waters and Gilmour, not only not wreck it but....likely make it better than anything Gilmour & Waters could have put together and agreed on (and AGREED on) ...especially at THAT time? Yeah. So...it impresses the hell out of me to hear any story of what's so common, wonderful production, etc. If I recall, there was no "ok see if they like this version" option (not that this wouldn't be a can of worms and slow a process that was already ...staring at the last minutes to get it finished) ...and provides the track that we all were so moved by we can recall where we were when we first heard it, it's so perfect.... the elements being argued over were smoothed out, rather literally...and...I'm rambling. It's impressive as hell, being able to take what was given to "him" (guy deserves the name, but ...google that yourself if you're interested, I forget atm, I'm OLD) ...anyway... thank God for the man that took the chunks of what would be Comfortably Numb, and produced the FINAL PRODUCT. No more changes from anyone, that was it. Could it be improved on? Would we want to dare let someone try? It was a bit "...ahh...I don't know about this" when we first heard/read the extended rather recent iteration even existed (I say rather recent, I'm old, I measure time in full decades) THIS: ruclips.net/video/YKiWpaMkU08/видео.html (think this clip should cover "he" (Ezrin) handling the multitracks handled by Michael Cayman piecing that track together, getting the mixture of bits from all over, ...just listen to it, it's short. Amazing when you think about it in terms of what could be lost or ....nearly ruined, or...made PERFECT, but...could it have been if handled any other way? Even if we take The Wall tension out of the equation.... I suppose I'm overthinking it a bit, after all, it's "fresh eyes times ten" , sort of. Amazing though, blows my mind. Imagine hearing your song "come back" to you, now complete, ...delivered to you, wonderful, and ....would be magical to pretty much any human being that has ever heard the song. From there the song just gives more and more,
Awesome lesson. Glad I stumbled across it. A real gem for me.
Hermano muchas gracias por esa información! Tu inglés se entiende muy bien, saludos desde México!
Bro thanks
Wow this is so helpful for me learning the solo. And thanks for offering the small transactions for downloading the chart. It's nice to pay for single items.
Another great video, really well explained again, knowledge lights popping on everywhere! Thanks!
So awesome! The use of chord tones has now sent my playing in a new exploratory direction. Thank you sir!
Your video is inspiring me to want to pick up a guitar again and finally learn how to play.
David gilmour is just an awesome guitar player
So Awesome.... I mean... You had me at Hello. lol
Awesome teaching skills. Learned more watching this than hours of lessons. Huge thank you!
Love the channel and thanks for the great lessons.
I’ve included a link to this video in the launch of the Guitarly app. on Android. Guitarly is a free, jamming app which gives a backing track and shows the chord, chord tones and scale notes as they change over an interactive fretboard. The track can be paused/skipped and the tempo, drum pattern and instruments can be changed to inspire your soloing.
We would love to feature your work but if you want this link removed (or would like to include links to other lessons) please let me know.
All the best and thanks for the great lessons.
Paul
all pentatonic scales are generated from their relative major scales. no problem to mix both in a solo.
Another great vidio Stich.Thanks for posting ,greetings from England.
Hi my name is Les , just started listening to Stitch its enjoyable, I have a question do you understand the Mega Muff affect pedals I ask because I also enjoy Santanas songs and have been trying to find a pedal that provides long sustain, Does the Mega muff provide long sustain ? Look forward to hearing from U, I am from newr Southampton
sustain = P R S
Great video thanks so much.......... and I'm guessing a B.K.Butler Tube Driver
Big Muff😬
You're Awesome Dude!
great comments on the song man! If I can add, I think it really helps to look into the mixolydian scales, which can be mixed with the pentatonics, and David uses it a lot. Its basically what you explained, since the notes you added are pretty much the notes of the mixolydian scale. Again, congrats for the video!
I've never looked at that solo this way but that is very cool. Now I understand it even better thanks man!!😎🎸🎼🎸💥💣💥👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🎸🎼🤜🤛👍
Such a great job! It's a pleasure to listen and watch you...thanks a lot!
I have a 2008 SE Custom the same color don't see it often. Good lesson thanks.
awesome video.. thanks... could you please do in the mind of john mayer ... why wont u come when i call live @ where the light is concert .. cant figure out the chord progression when it goes from major to minor and all that relation.. plis plis plis
Hriatpuia Lelhchhun I'll listen if you do anything on Mayer! Love his playing.
love your "in the mind" videos, those are really helpful! keep the good work ;)
Great job, Ian. Thanks for the lesson!
Best teacher on youtube by a long shot.. Excellent stuff man..
This is flying very close to the sun...Awesome!!
Subscribed today. Unreal. Thanks for taking the time and explaining these techniques in an understandable way. I watched so much shit on you tube that really didn't help your channels been a breath of fresh air. Would love to see some more in the mind of trey lessons if you ever have time. Thanks.
Have a new Trey vid coming out this week😬👍
Excellent lesson. I think I need to rewatch it several times
Hey i absolutely love your content. Can you make one about making backing tracks? Not exactly the process for making it but the general idea. I think you'd be great at teaching it
I've watched loads of your videos now, subscribed for this video. great stuff
awesome video.I finally get why it's actually in the key of d!! and using all the modes dor,mix,ect.thanks to you👍👍👍👉
I know many have already said this... but you are one of the best (if not THE best) teacher on youtube. Please keep 'em coming my friend.
Means a lot! Thanks for enjoying
Also just thought you would like to know that you are getting really good on your RUclips presentation. Keep up the great work!
You are a professor and a good guy! Well done!
