    Very good John. In the old days took me a time to learn. Anyone listening will gain great insight. Good vid. Hope your well.
  • Wow! What an eye opener for new guitarists! I've been trying to explain the maj/min run concept to my 11 year old grandson recently with only limited success... this sums it up in a nutshell! Cheers, m8

    Thanks John. Maybe tie the following week solo to the lesson.

    Hello John, I’ve been playing a few years now and thanks for clearing up the topic of needing to begin ( or finish ) on the root note. Some folks explain this as if it’s imperative 🤙 I guess it just comes down to the old saying, if it sounds good, it is indeed good. Thanks 🤙

    "Angular banjos, sound good, to me ..." Steely Dan, for the WIN!
  • @chrisminer5884
    I always find it helpful to think I terms of intervals so from a C major perspective you are mapping the scale as 5th 6th root 2nd major 3rd. From an A minor perspective it is flat7 root minor third 4th 5th
  • @calbrockocat8728
    Have a quick look at the A minor scale notes and then C major. The overlap is obvious.
  • @Allclassics45
    Are you gonna do videos where you talk about the rhythm aspect of guitar????
  • @rob8482
    Lead guitars are way too heavy for me. I like wooden ones!
