In this video, I’ll be going over the most important music theory for guitar players. This includes learning about how notes work, what intervals are, the major scale, chords in a key, and the difference between diatonic and non-diatonic. By the end of this guitar lesson, you will know all the music theory necessary to be able to start writing your own songs, inventing your own guitar riffs, improvising solos, and even playing guitar by ear.

If you have any questions along the way, please leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them. Thanks for watching!
