As a piano player I can honestly say that I've never seen anyone make so much sense with the guitar. You're a brilliant teacher.
-
“Learn the rules, then break them your own way” is one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard.
-
Honestly...I'm 60 years old and have been playing since I was 5. I have toured, recorded and played with some people a lot better than me. All that to say THANK-YOU FOR teaching me new and exciting notes and ideas that keep guitar playing fun. You are a credit to the brotherhood of guitar players.

I spent nearly a year learning what you explained/demonstrated in just 15 minutes. It's maybe 90% of guitar improvisation, theory included. What's even better is that you provide a simple approach anyone can follow. The only thing you could add is maybe a little more space between phrases, skipping notes, and a simple motif to tie it all together. Of course, that would make a great followup lesson. You are one of the best guitar instructors I have seen, and I have seen *many*. If you weren't 800 miles away, I would be knocking on your door right now.

Awesome YT guitar brother, great stuff.
-
Jeez, you're an uncommonly good teacher for a youtube channel. Real good stuff.

🎵He’s got notes that seem to me, reminds me of music theror-ey, where every 7th is as flat as a bright blue sky. sky sky sky..,”🎵

Probably one of the best guitar instructors on YouTube. You can tell most channels just want to show off. But you don't, you put everything in a very easy to understand structure and highlight how to use different techniques to achieve desired sounds. Been binge watching a ton of your content. Keep it up!
-
my playing has skyrocketed since watching your videos, I have to say. cannot thank you enough for the easy to follow, informative, inspiring, and altogether high quality videos. this is by far the best channel for all guitarists beginner to advanced. edit: "skyrocket" may be exaggerated on my part, but still I'm far beyond when I started. never thought I'd get to this point, let alone via youtube videos! You rock!
-
It's incredible how much and how clear you can teach in a 15min video. I've never seen anyone explaining things so clearly. This stuff is immediately applicable and it expands my playing in real time. You're an amazing teacher as well as guitar player. Thank you!
-
Not only an impressive player, but a very impressive teacher... really enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing this with everyone.
-
Extraordinary teaching! Loved your comment that saying, “just feel it” is the same as saying, it’s magic and you don’t have it”. The most practical YouTube lessons for me. Thank you.

She's got a smile it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue skyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
Been playing for 40 years...wow, do I wish I had access to this information when I started playing. Thanks!
-
For the longest time I've been under this modes "ceiling" and couldn't get through it. I understood them and their purpose, but had a heck of a time getting practical with it when playing. This video made more sense than any of the others I've watch, and I have a new energy in getting better. Thank you for this wonderful explanation!
-
Guitar teacher of the century. I'm learning a sh*tload right now.
-
Thank you so much! PS: This solo makes me remind of "Sweet Child O'mine". Great!
-
I just stumbled on your post after finding out from another YouTube video of a brother who has studied my favorite artist, Prince 🤴 He said that since Prince couldn't read music and being self-taught, he sounded so different and is often difficult for guitarists to cover accurately, is because he played in the Mixolydian scale! Making his guitar solos unique ❤

I started playing in late '69. No books, lessons, etc., just playing by ear. Then I found my "instructor" in 1979 - Guitar Language by David Lawrence. Following concepts in that book improved my playing tremendously. What you show in your videos has tremendous value, and is very timely as I continue to improv(is)e through your many very-well-executed refreshers! Thank you Jake Lizzio! If you're ever in Austin, TX - you have a place to stay.
