Customer Reviews
This is the podcast that I’ve been looking for
Listening to people who know music inside and out because they’ve lived it is my idea of a real good time. This level of understanding is exactly what I’m interested in hearing more about.
Total Game Changer
I’ve played bass and guitar for years and had the major/minor scales and arpeggios memorized up and down the fretboard. But this podcast is what made the pieces suddenly fit. The scales and chords made sense. Things clicked. And options became available that I didn’t know I had. This approach is so helpful. I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Even if you’ve already memorized a bunch of scales and such. Understanding how and why they work is an absolute game changer. Whatever direction you want to go with music on a fretboard, you need this content in your head.
Thank you, from a 69 year old, beginner
I am retired now. I’ve struggled with the why of chords and songs for decades. Looking forward to learning Theory.
