Yeah... I guess I'm too dense for music theory. The steps and half-steps I got, but once he threw keys, scales and major/minor sequences into the equation, I just lost it.
@@user-cz6us7ok2j You got this. It's simpler than you think. You just need to write it down while you watch this or other theory related videos and you'll get it. If you understood the whole/half step stuff maybe your brain had it easier because you had a visual reference. So, maybe, writing it down will help your brain to figure it out
Yes I feel the same way, some of the confusion dissapeared but I think I need to fool around on the guitar with the stuff that got stuck in my brain from this video and try to use it as much as possible in my normal playing and then when I feel that I´m stuck in my progress I´ll go back to this video and try again. I´ll probably need to watch this video X amount of times to understand 50% of it, music theory is not my thing for sure 😂. Great video though! Props to the Samurai that made music theory interesting for once.
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and 9:00 in just blew my mind. I always "played by ear" which was great for learning jams but learning how they actually all come together is incredible. I can see myself improving greatly with this kind of knowledge! Thanks!
I've been playing piano (not professionally) for almost 20 years and just picked up a guitar a few months ago. Translating the theory from piano to guitar has been a challenge for me but this makes soooo much sense.
I already know this stuff, but it's hard to explain to people who don't so this gives me an incredible way to help people I know understand it all a bit better. Understanding music makes it so much more engaging to listen to it!
Finally man in plain English. I think what makes this tutorial so great is that you talk about what's important, why it works that way, and you do it without getting distracted with scenarios that may not apply or are just too rare to be mentioned. A lot of tutorials I've watched spend a lot of time focusing on what something isn't and why it shouldn't be, rather than what it is and why it works.
So glad I stumbled across this. Feels like the missing structure i've been looking for, but with all the self-teaching info on the internet it's been super overwhelming. Will definitely be looking into your courses!!!
After 1.5 years since starting guitar, I took my first real plunge into music theory with your video! The visual support (both your demonstration and the paper stuff) did wonders!
You are crazy man. In 17 minutes you just covered my 7 years of German middle and Highschool in Music. And the funny thing is that I actually understood what you where telling me. Very well done! Thank you :)
This is hands down the best introductory theory video I've found on RUclips, guitar or otherwise. What I like most is how well it simplifies the concepts without oversimplifying them. That's where I find many other videos go wrong:, and it often leads to misunderstanding and confusion down the road. This one is clear, concise, well-structured, and fundamentally accurate - well done!
I have been studying music theory on a guitar for a couple of years now and it's amazing how you can put all of that together in 18 minutes. Everything is relative, everything makes sense, now.
In my Fundamentals theory class, one semester, I start with single pitch, and by the end you would know major and minor scales and all the chords in a diatonic key and how they function. That includes inversions, Roman numerals and pop chord symbols. That is, if you actually study and practice, and some don’t and blame me that they didn’t learn anything. Then I say, “did you take notes in class, read the lesson and take it to the piano or some other instrument?” Oh no? Then I don’t think I’m the problem. :)
@@kwimms Of course I pay attention in school, I have a 100% in that class and a 4.1 GPA. It is genuinely really challenging and a lot of the concepts that are taught, like 17th century part writing & voice leading, have minimal (if any) relevance in professional music unless you study and perform vocal music from that time period.
Great lesson! I struggled a bit to teach my younger brother theory basics and this is a super easy lesson to follow. I shared it with him and he’s picking it up!
Great video. quick refresher on the stuff I already knew. And the stuff I wanted to know was made simple and easy to understand. I'm glad this video exist.
In shcool, obviously multiple classes each day but a total of 3 years in chorus, 6 in concert band, 5 in marching band, 2 in jazz band, and 7 years in music theory. Of course I've learned about the circle of fourth's/fifth's but NEVER once were we taught a mnemonic device to remember the sharps and flats. 23 combined years in music thouhout school and you're still teaching me new things. Thank you 👏👏
Over 50 years of music training - which began with years and years in choir, then seven years in band - which included concert band, pep band and two years in marching band - on multiple instruments - then decades as a singer, performing from England to Hawaii - training under seven opera coaches, with a performance repertoire of over 50 arias composed by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Vivaldi and dozens of other composers * G2 to D6 * and having written over 1,000 songs, over a dozen musicals and now writing my 15th opera - trained in the Circle of 5ths, and various mnemonic devices, and I've created and uploaded educational videos on the principles of music, geometry, chemistry, math, etc., and I am - to this day - learning new things about music.
I was so confused at first when you reached out the "circle of fouths". I was thinking "isn't it the Circle of Fifths"? and I even opened my Circle of Fifths app to make see the diference and you were right! Seeing it from the "fourths" perspective and your phrase cues made it all clearer than ever
Thanks for the 18 minutes of music theory in a nut shell for beginner guitarists learning the ropes how to play better music behind every good songs (scale + Melody + Chord + Rhythm lessons).
Suddenly wishing I had you teaching me Music Theory in Highschool and College 😂 Every other teacher I had tried making things too complicated. This is clear, concise, and what i would describe as a completely perfect class on Basic Music Theory!
High quality content. It's wonderful. Please expand these topics in the future videos maybe even make a full series on music theory would love to learn from your sir.
Nice! I will just link to this instead of me doing something similar to this for my students. I usually use pen and paper to explain things as well. The more ways you can "show" a student how it's all connected the bigger the chance that the "Aha! 💡" will happen😁. Good job👍
You’re speaking a little fast for my ape brain to keep pace, but at.85X speed this is the best plain-English intro lesson I’ve ever heard. Thank you and subscribed!
I love you I love u thank u u are the goat have not seen anybody than u teaching the circle of fourth as well as using such memonics while teaching the major scale it was always a problem to remember which notes are sharps so was hard as a self taught guitarist to just remember shapes now I can just navigate on my fretboards and improvise you are gold❤❤❤
Theory explained like this is useful for piano players (because is easy to find the notes by its name in a piano because of it's repeating layout) but for guitarist you should explain what is a scale, what are intervals, how this ends in greek modes and how to play them in the guitar by finding the tonic then playing the intervals of the scale/mode.
Solid lesson. I'm fine with all this stuff and more, but I will say that it was layed out really clearly. Knowing music theory and being able to teach it are very different things.
thanks for the Moises link you dropped recently. i got it pretty cheap for a year, and then AFTER i got it, i realized not only can you separate tracks with it, but you can also retune songs back into a 440 A. lots of songs from the 70s and 80s were sped up a little bit for "punchiness" - meaning i always had to retune to the song to play along... now i can tune it to my bass in a matter of seconds. (you have to use the desktop app to retune, but the app is much faster than the web portal)
I thought watching this might be a waste of time since I already know most of the basics of music theory, but I was wrong. I've been struggling to put together what felt like disparate pieces of knowledge together, and watching this made them feel more cohesive. Especially the chord progression and circle of fourths parts. I don't know how I missed those, but it really felt like puzzle pieces coming together the moment I learned of them.
At 5:10 you play b but it sounds like c. Why? Then at 5:17 the b flat sounds like b. When you play the whole f major scale b flat at 5:24 sounds like b flat. I can't imagine this happened by accident. Or did it? Long time subscriber, I always enjoy your content. The theory is solid.
I learned all this in high school, and like a dumb teenager, assumed I'd learned as much as I'd ever need to, and that I totally had music "figured out" at age 15. You probably already know how that went.
I could never wrap my head around the 'circle of fourths/fifths' - to me, it's far easier to learn all the scales by heart than to transpose them out of a circle graph. Took me about a month to learn them and now they live rent-free in my head, whereas even 20+ years later after I was told about those magical 'circles' I still struggle with remembering them and need to construct them from scratch - negating the whole point of them as being a 'shortcut'. YMMV.
Damn, Sam…I wouild pounce on your Black Friday deal, but I’ve really tightened my budget belt lately, onna counta I switched my day job to half-time so I’d have more time to get everything packed up and ready for moving my family across the country. But half-time is half pay. But all is cool, because after we move, I won’t need a day job any more, and I can make guitaring my full-time job. At that point, I’ll gladly pay for whatever deal is available, because I know it’ll be worth it. Thanks for you, bro’. 😎
I already did the relative major/ minor thing with just going down or up three half steps. For example A minor going up 3 is C Major E minor going up 3 is G major E major going down 3 is C#/Db minor Doing it like this kinda reminds me that the chord shapes are the same between the relative and the only difference is starting point🤷🏻♂️
I like that you use the keyboard to illustrate some of this. I took beginning music theory in school, but we didn't have a piano at home, so that's how I learned theory on guitar by transcribing what I learned on piano that day. I'm convinced that this gave me a big advantage over those who only learned on guitar.
ARe you going to do a video on the "up-down body" instrument on the background? It sits on the center of the screen over your right shoulder and it drove me crazy when I noticed. Salu2
This is really helpful, however it does seem to assume that the player knows the notes on the fretboard. any recommendations on which method or video is most helpful for that?
I know I'm a beginner who's only been playing for about a month but man this stuff feels so hard to apply. I was playing around with the whole triad thing it felt like it took a million years for me to find the next note.
I've been playing for years. Started around 8 I believe, self taught, very few lessons but zero music theory. I've reached a point where I feel as if no matter how much I play, how many scales I attempt to learn, genres I venture into. I seem to not progress nor learn something that truly helps me as a guitar player. Does anybody have any idea how abouts I can progress further? I need someone to tell me what I am doing wrong or critique me...
In German as well. It's called the "quintenzirkel" wich is a fancy way of saying circle of fifths. But German music theory language is just the worst anyway. I tried to understand music theory for a decade and the moment I tried it in English it all made sense. We don't even have a word for flatten or sharpen and apparently the alphabet geos AHCDEFG over here. And you kinda need to be fluent in old Italian.
I have a Newbee Guitar question nobody can answer so far regarding looping 🤷♂️ Is it possible to play a bass line through a looper pedal and an amp then play along with a guitar using the same amp and looper ? if not is there another way using one ( bass ) amp ? ( unusual i know :-) if not is there another way or , what is the easiest / cheapest way to play a bass line and guitar jam on your own ? maybe it could be a good video idea / i can't find any info on how anywhere??? 🤷♂️
I mean, yes, it's possible. But maybe it doesn't sound all that good. Guitar over a Bass amp may sound a bit muffled and bass over a guitar amp misses the oompf a bit^^ (also playing bass over a guitar amp really loud might not be the best thing for the speaker) And there is the thing with connecting two instruments, don't know your looper, and if you can plug in 2 things at once, if not you might want a mixer of sorts. I don't own a bass amp, so when I want to do what you describe I usually plug it all into my mixer, wich is plugged into my PC wich intern is plugged into my stereo, where I have those massive old speakers that can deal with the highest highs and the lowest lows. The guitar doesn't sound as good as with my amp (something like "guitar rig" and a DAW helps here) but the Bass sounds a million times better. But generally you can play whatever you like through your looper and amp.
Bb is two spaces away from C on the flat side. 2 flats added to the scale. You use the flat acronym Battle Ends and Down Goes Charles Father to figure out which notes are flat. Take the first two words, Battle Ends. Take the first letters B E, make them flat, Bb Eb. So a Bb major scale has Bb C D Eb F G A Bb
Ok, now I Just need to watch this video every morning for the next three years and I should have this down pretty solid.

This is the best intro to music theory I've ever seen. Well done.
Bro cleared up the circle of 4ths for me in 2 minutes... I been lost for 3 years
That is the best I've ever seen the scales explained!
Ive been learning guitar off youtube for 2 years and this is the first time music theory has made sense. Thank you :)
Enjoyed most of this yesterday while it was briefly up, and enjoyed the rest of it today. Thanks!
So glad I stumbled across this. Feels like the missing structure i've been looking for, but with all the self-teaching info on the internet it's been super overwhelming. Will definitely be looking into your courses!!!
15:10 - “…but it is worth acknowledging their existence.” That got a healthy chuckle outa me. 😎
This 18 minutes covers what it has taken me 18 years to understand. Good job Sammy G.
This is EVERYTHING I’ve been looking for to understand guitar music theory. What an elegant way to describe complex topics.
just learned more in fifteen minutes than in five years ty so much!

I wish I've seen this video 15 years ago. Thank you!
awesome, thanks for the info... probably have to rewatch but love the content! hopefully i can brain it and apply using my fingerssss
Is this what your guitar course is like? Might need to check it out because this video was insanely helpful to me
I thought watching this might be a waste of time since I already know most of the basics of music theory, but I was wrong.

Especially the chord progression and circle of fourths parts. I don't know how I missed those, but it really felt like puzzle pieces coming together the moment I learned of them.
Great video. I learned the circle of 5ths, but you explained everything very well. Good job!
And in tomorrow's video we take what we learned today and learn how to solo over Giant Steps.
Lol funny enough, the only other time I did stop motion was for my giant steps video. I still suck at that song
@@samuraiguitarist nobody sucks at that song, we all suckle at it.
are you refering to john coltrane's song?
this was an enlightening vid thank you for the help!
It is only the circle of 4ths when you go counterclockwise.
If you go clockwise, the intervals between notes are a 5th
Love the graphics.
At 5:10 you play b but it sounds like c. Why? Then at 5:17 the b flat sounds like b. When you play the whole f major scale b flat at 5:24 sounds like b flat.
I can't imagine this happened by accident. Or did it?

I already did the relative major/ minor thing with just going down or up three half steps.
For example
A minor going up 3 is C Major
E minor going up 3 is G major
E major going down 3 is C#/Db minor
Doing it like this kinda reminds me that the chord shapes are the same between the relative and the only difference is starting point🤷🏻♂️

Is it???? I didn't know others did it different
Ha ha, lol, I just googled it and I can't believe how many people refer to it as 'fiths' - it's not even a word!! 😂😂

We don't even have a word for flatten or sharpen and apparently the alphabet geos AHCDEFG over here. And you kinda need to be fluent in old Italian.
For things like triads and chords going diagonally and vertically can I just pick the relative notes that are near or does it need to be certain ones
Never have I understood theory so easily

Guitar over a Bass amp may sound a bit muffled and bass over a guitar amp misses the oompf a bit^^ (also playing bass over a guitar amp really loud might not be the best thing for the speaker) And there is the thing with connecting two instruments, don't know your looper, and if you can plug in 2 things at once, if not you might want a mixer of sorts.
I don't own a bass amp, so when I want to do what you describe I usually plug it all into my mixer, wich is plugged into my PC wich intern is plugged into my stereo, where I have those massive old speakers that can deal with the highest highs and the lowest lows. The guitar doesn't sound as good as with my amp (something like "guitar rig" and a DAW helps here) but the Bass sounds a million times better.
But generally you can play whatever you like through your looper and amp.

How would the father charles acronym system work when trying to find say b flat major scale
Bb is two spaces away from C on the flat side. 2 flats added to the scale. You use the flat acronym Battle Ends and Down Goes Charles Father to figure out which notes are flat. Take the first two words, Battle Ends. Take the first letters B E, make them flat, Bb Eb. So a Bb major scale has Bb C D Eb F G A Bb
Do you say TI instead of Si to avoid mixing it with C?
