Top Comments of this video!! :3
I am an old dog, self-taught for 54 years. Covid killed some friends and all my gigs. I quit playing for a few months out of depression and being stuck musically. Putting things back together correctly though. I have begun the process of actually learning the instrument. I'm charged and excited and bored out of my freaking skull. I dig the map. I liked, sub'ed. I'll be back.

Soooo.... sorry it's been so long since my last video but I literally was working non stop to finish my course. I honestly think its the best educational resource available for guitarists. Now that it's done I'll be back to making YT videos again and more free courses like my blues and interval course. thanks for being patient!

Jake is the only teacher that taught me to play with actual practical knowledge. He focuses on actually using theory to MAKE music. So many people and teachers on youtube just talk about music theory but don't actually show you what to do with it. Jake gives a ton of great advice. I also like that most of his content is geared towards intermediates rather than beginners.

I took music all through school and learned basic theory, but I didn't understand it on a deeper level to actually apply it on the instruments I played (clarinet, viola, keyboard), so I just memorized songs. When I picked up guitar a couple years ago (took a big break, so I've only been playing for 16 months in total), I was able to see patterns and improvise for the first time. I'm a logical learner, so the better I understand something, the more I can do with it. If i don't understand how something works, I get a little frustrated and confused. It amazes me that so many guitarists don't know much theory cause I feel it's so important, but at the same time, guitarists who have been playing much longer than me are surprised by my progress. While I did have to spend a few months just learning how to play guitar and trying to sound good, being able to improv and make your own progressions are things even more advanced players can't do cause they only learned songs from tabs. I didn't want to feel limited again so I made sure not to take that route. My goal is to improvise and write my own songs, especially more unique and complex progressions like Japanese music, so videos like yours that talk about borrowed chords, using diminished etc have been so useful to me. Thank you so much for making these videos!

I'm in the process of applying to a music college. I'm an electronic producer, everything done with a mouse and a keyboard... I don't play any instruments (anymore). What I want to do is better express my imagination for years to come without becoming repetitive or samey. This video inspires and motivates me to work harder in the study because there is more to music theory than memorizing chord names. If I don't get accepted to this college, I will consider self study to a greater degree... I feel God gave me this talent with music to serve, and I want to serve others, and you have helped inspire me to persevere and not give up if I fail at one academic venture.

It’s honestly so crazy how much i’ve learned from your channel. Out of the hundreds of music theory lesson channels i’ve tried out, something just clicked when i started watching these lessons, hopefully i’ll be able to purchase the entire course some time in the future, keep up the great work!
