Thank you Andy for a great video. Wish someone had taken the time to teach me this back when I was getting started. It would have saved me some serious time; however, I also find that knowledge too easily gained is quickly forgotten. The new musicians still need to put in the work using these gold nuggets in order to own them. This video is full of so much music information.
What a good explanation. Last time I caught a similarly explained fundamental aspect of applied music theory, it was Steve Vai. You guys are giants, with the generosity of spirit to share your "ABCs" with the rest of us. Thank you!
Thank you for the lesson. I learned by ear and didnt discover any theory until later in life. Young players should really pay attention to these kinds of lessons. It will save a lot of wasted time. Thanks man
In the space of three weeks, I've discovered Andy's playing and he's become one my favourite guitarists. Such a humble dude, a killer player and a phenomenal teacher to boot. Looking forward to more content like this!
Da coach, Blitzing intervals and coming up with the SACK!!! I will be reviewing the film often to make it a permanent part of my playing. Fight the good fight. Hope to see you live in the near future.
I can't remember any instructor mentioning that 9, 11, 13 is in another octave. It may be obvious, you maybe could figure it out by yourself, but nobody ever put it out so understandable to me. Such an awesome hint, just brillant to explain it that way. Big thumbs up!
Not trying to tell ya what to do ..but if you Take yer 5 major chord shapes and learn who is who...Tonic, Major 3rd..minor 3rd...5th...Major 7th... minor 7th...6th and flat 6th...ect.... when you do this for the 5 Chord Shapes you learn in groups of 3 strings ... E-A-D....A-D-G....D-G-B...G-B-E...so no matter where yer hands are ...you should have Chord tones somewhere within reach
Hi Andy!!Thanks for this great lesson!!Now please consider explaining Eric Johnson's Mini lesson #2 (if you can call it "mini")!He speaks of note names which i think it`s much harder to think of than intervals.All this improv he does on chord tones is mind boggling!Please help us!! :) All the best to you!!
Great video as always! Love all the lessons you've been putting up. Maybe you could do one on more advanced harmony like chord substitutions, diminished/augmented ideas and how you would use them, etc. Thanks for all the great content!
Andy, really like your playing. Subbed your channel few weeks back. A very cool book - Intervallic Designs by Joe Diorio. Gonna date myself there, but looks like it may still be available and free now? I haven't thought about that book in maybe 30+ years. Memory brings a smile. Just wanted to share that here with your viewers on this subject. I got a feeling following lessons r headed in such a direction too here with you. Not specifically the book but types of things in it. U r one of those players I get caught wanting to see what the hands r doing. It's gone behind holy cow that was musical too stop I need see this too.
Made the jump to the Caged System about 6 months ago...gotta say I am way more Melodic than i used to be...when i play i look for Chord tones now...instead of sounding so Modal or Scale oriented ... I was watching Guthrie Trap at the time...but all of these great players are doing it...in the long run it seems way better to know your Intervals than memorizing Shapes
Andy I guessed my way through learning harmony and chord construction, I would spend Hours trying to figure out Allman Brothers Harmony parts, like all night long, until I finally, had my guitar instructor, kick me in the butt and said Quit Guessing, Learn your intervals, when I did, it was like a light came on, like when Wizard of OZ, turned into technicolor, I thought why in hell did I not learn this years ago. Thanks buddy,

Totally agree. Plus a shout out to Rick Graham 🤘
Thank you for the lesson. I learned by ear and didnt discover any theory until later in life. Young players should really pay attention to these kinds of lessons. It will save a lot of wasted time. Thanks man
I'm an old guy who loves seeing you explain things that I will never be able to play, but wish I could. You're awesome!
Man…. SUPER DUPER LESSON!! These are things that everyone who is serious needs to learn! Best breakdown I’ve ever seen!

Andy, I couldn't love you anymore. Awesome stuff man. I see this stuff taught so badly all the time.

And this has totally changed the way I looked at the Fret board from the first Wood shed! 13b35
Awesome lesson. Light bulb
Man, I wish I paid closer attention to basic theory when I started playing... Great video.
Do you know a guitar player from Myrtle Beach named Drew V? He is a great player and good friend of mine. Says he knows you. Anyways love the music
Great shirt!!!

Solid!
Yeah!!! Andy
That was a great lesson and indeed motivational for those like me, who are trying to bem less of a "shapes" player. Thx Andy.
Great video! Really helped.
