Hi guys, I'm Rod. I took my first guitar lessons around 30 years ago but quit after only 2 years. Since then I have been playing guitar (chords), just learning songs or parts of them because I seem to get interested in playing a song and never complete it for some reason. This year I made some new friends and I started meeting with them and just jam (try to)for a few hours and it's so much fun. Much better than spending days trying to figure out a song and play cover songs. So I decided I wanted to learn guitar theory and try to understand what I was looking at on the fretboard and expand my playing. I joined weekly lessons with a guitar teacher and I started to improve and learn a few things, however, sometimes I end up getting confused when I get presented with something new, such a new scale or arpeggios etc. I learned these scales but I had to know how and where they were coming from. I was not getting a plan and kept flipping back and forth through the book. Yesterday,I came across one of your videos on YouTube(Chords in a Key) and I was blown away how good you explained scales, minor and major chords and triads and how to extract these from. I felt that only from that one lesson I have understood so many things which before were so confusing to me. This is exactly what I was looking for and I am so excited to be here. Thanks Scott.
