Thanks For All The Great E-mails!

  • HI Dave! So far, the site has been absolutely terrific, thank you so so so much!!! I have memorized the modes, and also the twelve intervals and all five patterns and where the roots are in the minor pentatonic. I am thrilled to be finally starting to understand this stuff! I hope the rest of your site is as eye opening and basic as it has been already!
  • Your site is the best place on the web to learn online. Thanks for the oppurtunity to become a better guitarist.
  • I cannot say anything that hasn't been said. Your site rocks! I've never found a site that makes it easy to understand!
  • hey dave, i've been playing guitar for a quite some time and since i found your web site, my playing has gotten 200% better. just wanted to say thanks.
  • Man, thanks for the incredible (guitar) site!
  • You're site is exactly what I've been looking for for months. It's not only in depth and complete, its clear and easy to understand. My thanks to the staff. Keep up the wonderful work!
  • THANK YOU!!! I have searched for some time trying to understand more about theory but to no avail, too many times have I purchased a book to understand and found that the idea of music theory was too overwhelming, but your little breakdown has made it so that now i can write the songs to the sounds that I want to! Thanks!
  • Hi Dave! upon reading your theory lessons, I was amazed at what I learned and I feel like I've taken a huge jump!! thanks and great job!!
  • Dave, This is GREAT! I have a Bachelors in Jazz Studies and these lessons are helpful to me in refreshing my memory of the basics. Thanks for making them available online, and for FREE! What a wonderful thing you are doing. Thanks again and please keep up the incredible work!!
  • I've learned so much from this site in the last couple of days I feel like my head is going to explode. I will definitely keep coming back.
  • I've bought so many different bass books and theory books and i was confused when reading them and trying to play. It's hard to play something u don't understand. but you lay it all on the table you write it so a child could understand. Good job and keep up the good work i will definatly share this site with people. you did a great job with this site. you rock.
  • This is great! I own several lengthy books on guitar theory but this was just so simple. I really appreciate your site!
  • I love your site man,it is very thorough and also very helpful
  • Hey dude, your site kicks ass! thanks man!
  • Dave - I've spent the last 4 months trying to teach myself how to play the bass. After that long I got to a point where I was no longer learning anything new. So I went in search of lessons on how to play. Most places assume that you have some knowledge of music theory, which I do not. Your site on the other hand starts off real basic and works up from there. I have only spent about 10 min on your site and I have already have a better understanding of how to play. Thanks!
  • I just found your site, and i think its bad ass what you are doing for guitarists!
  • I want to thank you very much for constructing such brilliant lessons. I am learning guitar and your lessons are the first lessons that I could actually understand. I am currently starting the modes lesson and I just had to congratulate you on your masterpiece. Keep up the good work!
  • Thank you and again, kudos on your excellent site!
  • i just got done reading your lessons and i dont think you could make things easier to learn and understand than the way you put it. im just starting to learn all the real stuff about music after playing guitar for 6 years. thanks for these lessons!
  • I used to have a website, but later gave it up. PLEASE don't do this! You have done a really good job with yours (You are honestly the only person who actually uses proper grammer and spelling that I have found) Anyway, your lessons are put forth so plainly that I am sure people will truly benefit from them, please keep up the excellent work! Thanks!
  • Your site has helped me quite a bit! Great site! Its the most helpful site I seen so far on theory.
  • Your lessons are easy to understand, clearly written and almost immediately applicable.
  • Hi Dave, I just found your web site and it looks like a great resource. I've gotten through the first 3 lessons and I already feel like I've learned a lot. I look forward to seeing more!
  • Great website. Thanks a bunch for putting it out there!
  • Just writing to say that I am very impressed with both the lessons and the site as a whole. I recently took a class at college that related theory to guitar playing, and I have to say that the site provides a perspective on theory that's very much on the same level. I was very interested in the way that you progressed through the modes both by their degree order and their 'flats' order, which is a totally new way of thinking to me. I can already see the way that this is changing my personality as a soloist, which is always a neat experience. Keep up the great work.
  • Wow Dave, this site is perfect! Thanks so much!
  • Just wanted to say I love your site. I've been looking for a good website for guitar theory for a long time now, and yours covers exactly what I needed.
  • I have to commend you on the website, I just found it and it's already been a real help for me as I try to pick up some new things.
  • Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your web site. It is very informative and easy to follow. I have played guitar for a number of years and did not understand what it was that I have been playing. Or for better words "mimicking". Your web page is great and I feel that I am learning how to really understand playing my guitar. It has opened new doors for me. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
  • your web site lessons are very readable and I learned a lot so far. Thanks!
  • I'm guitarist from Poland (just a beginner) and I want to thank you for your lessons. They're made in a great way - just play -> with minimum words. In my opinion it's the best way to learn. It's not so hard like in the other lessons that I read and most important - that kind of music education gives a lot of fun. Keep doing that!!! It's really needed!
  • Just a note to thank you for putting this information on the net for a couple of musicians to understand how to get better. nicely done!
  • i've been playing the gtr longer than i care to remember and modes have always been a subject of some confusion, but your lesson explained it all in very easy way! more gtr teachers should explain things your way!
  • I just wanted to comment on what a fantastic site you have. I'm very glad to have found it, and I wish you the best! Thank You!
