this is great, it isn't mindless scale rehearsal - it's actual understanding! Thanks a lot!

ok, i made a stupid comment i finally understood what you are saying on the video, lol. I didnt notice you at first, saying "but start with A", so after a few replays of the video i finally figured it out. I guess having a drink while learning theories is bad, but im pretty sure im right with the "3 fret rule" :)

im a bit confused how you explained about the A minor pentatonic dropping 3 frets becoming a F major pentatonic, the relative minor stuff you are explaining. Afaik, if you drop 3 frets (using the "3 fret rule")from, for ex. A major that would be F# minor pentatonic and if you want a to get the relative major of a minor scale, you should go up 3 frets.

So apparently you don't find posting accurate information to correct that which has been inaccurately stated as valuable. I'd say you're the one who walks about filled with a vinegar solution.

My comment was for discoguy, I replied to him, but youtube posted it up top

You're a douchebag. If you have something of value to offer then post some videos. If not then shut the fuck up.

yeah its really hard to present and remember everything all in one take and get it across clearly without an autocue. there are little mistakes like calling an f sharp a g flat in an A major context etc. some people find these vids usefull, some people rip the sh*t. either way i made them 5 years ago, so it doesnt botherme. Thereare obviously rules to music, but most guitarists ignore them or break them, check out marty friedman, he makes up his own scales! like i said why dont you give it a go?

You doubled back and sort of half-explained alternate note names but in a very disorganized way that contradicts your previous - and incorrect in the context you presented them - statements. Note the guy's "wtf is a scale?" comment after watching. "Understanding scales" isn't an intermediate topic. But whoever the target audience is, it's not explained clearly. I believe you mentioned a DVD so I assumed you were selling this. I commend your donation with intent to assist others but...

these videos were made for a college project 5 years ago, and were put on youtube a few years after for a bit of fun, all for free. i did state that you can write the note E as F flat, hence your enharmonics. this was meant to be for intermediate people and not beginners anyway. why dont you try filming your own videos to help others? have fun
