I'm going to guess he's seen the submission but I really want to make sure that sees this.

This has my official stamp of approval. It's factually correct, presented well, and will save me many hours of typing.

I will watch this at least a few times.

I'd suggest that you maybe watch one a week and keep doing it until you're able to skip episodes because they are already known to you. He covers a lot of ground and does it quickly but he explains it well. More importantly, he is correct. I see a whole lot of stuff out there like, "How to cheat and learn this by doing this one simple trick!" That's really mostly meaningless and doesn't give people the foundations they need.

This guy gets TheBuddha's Seal of Approval. It's well worth the time investment and the knowledge will help you understand so many other things in time. The first two episodes are essential - in my opinion. The rest all seem to be good, I later flipped through a couple. The first two are things I'd consider essential and I'd suggest learning them to the point of comprehension (not memorization or rote) to be a good start - for any guitarists.

Beyond that, the rest of the series looks fucking awesome. I am very, very impressed with it.

It might be noted that this is only the second time that I've given a video my seal of approval. There's one more that I'll link you to - it is already linked on my site.

It's the bonus video, the one for the road, by Petrucci on my page when I noted he was better than Hendrix. Here's a link:

It's the last one down. It's one that my student watches pretty much once a week and I watch it with her and sometimes monitor what she picks up from it or watch her play along with it. It's a very, very good resource.

It just so happens that it goes very nicely with this:

Both may be a bit advanced for your current familiarity, but they're worth watching and giving a quick read.

If you pay attention to what the guy is saying, or if you look at the board he is using to display the information, you will notice something.

No sharps between B and C and no sharps between E and F.

This guy, in this one episode, is doing a very good job at explaining it. I have not watched the whole series. I am only saying that this episode is worth watching. I suspect the rest are pretty good, as he's explaining it much like I would in a visual medium.

Edit: I am on the 2nd one and it looks like a very valid source. He is correct.

Edit: I am done with the 3rd and he is still correct and doing a good job. I'm comfortable suggesting people watch the entire series, even though I'm not personally going to watch any more of it. I already know this stuff.
