Guitar Theory Secrets-Coming Feb 15, 2008
Hi Folks,
As you know, registration starts Friday, Feb 15, at 11:00AM EST for the 12-month video series, Guitar Theory Secrets. And of course, it’s only open to my loyal students (you must own Amazing, Blues, Lead or Acoustic Guitar Secrets to register).
Because this is a invitation-only event, we will be emailing the link to the website so you can get all the details about the class, as well as register. So, it’s very important to check you email on Friday morning. The email will come from me (Dan Denley) and the email address will be “Dan at AmazingGuitarSecrets.com”.
This class is different that anything I’ve ever done before because the course material will be determined by YOU - the student. So, please take a minute now to enter your comment below about WHAT you want to learn in the Guitar Theory Secrets class…
Cheers,
Dan Denley

Hey Folks, Here’s the BIG question…
What is YOUR #1 question about guitar theory?
Please tell me by posting your comments here!
Cheers!

What is the easiest way to learn, understand and use notation??
February 12th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
What is the logic behind which chords go together?
February 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Dan:
It may sound trivial but my question is how much time would you expect a student to spend on the material to get a good understanding?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Tony,
Wow. That’s a BIGGIE.
Notation is really much better than tab because it conveys the rhythm and pitch, where tab only shows you where to put your fingers on the strings. However, for the “average” player I’d say you really don’t have to know notation. I’ve known many guitarists who could play nearly anything, but couldn’t read a note.
However, if you want to be able to play virtually ANYTHING or, more importantly, if you are planning to WRITE music for other guitarist or publish a book or something, it’s absolutely necessary.
The easiest way to learn is to start with the basics: learning the staff, the notes on the staff. Then how the notes on the page match up with the notes on your fretboard. Then you move on the note VALUE: in the other words, the duration of each note. That is rhythm.
From there you need to learn how to actually PLAY what you see on the paper. And that’s when it gets fun.
Question to everyone: is notation (reading music, not just tab) something you’d like to learn in Guitar Theory Secrets?
Let me know by posting your comments.
Cheers!

Mike,
Good question. I have a practice philosophy: it’s better to practice 10 min, 6 days a week vs. a full-hour only 1 day a week.
The important thing is not necessarily that you complete the entire course in a month or 2 months or whatever.
The bigger issue is to learn and the APPLY what you’ve learned by playing your own licks and riffs.
Make sense?
Cheers,
Dan Denley

I have two of your courses, Amazing and Acoustic, both are difficult for me but I am trying. I have had my Martin for a year and am 76 years old. My musical training was trumpet back in Jr High. Question: Would your new theory, really be helpful to me. Thanks. Jim
February 12th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Hey Terrie,
Ah, yes. Chord progressions and scale harmonization. Again, this is a big topic.
But, put simply, there are certain chords that go well together. For example, try playing Am | C | Em. These chords sound great together because the come from the same key: A minor.
In the key of Am, this would be a I (one) | III (three) | v (minor five). Which is a classic chord progression.
I could put together a 1-hour video lesson with some examples that would get you started putting different chord combinations together.
What do you folks think?
Let me know and I could make this one of the lessons-of-the-month in Guitar Theory Secrets.
Cheers,
Dan Denley
February 12th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
I do really like your idea and I`d like to work more on ear training and intervals, I`ve tried David Burge and not progressed enough. I would like to join your new course to go with Ags and Blues which I have, trouble I have is getting online in UK in time to register before all America overloads your system. I take time for Est to UK would be 8hrs
February 12th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
sounds exciting and houw much: sorry I don,t have the other courses
February 12th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Dear Dan, I purchased your Acoustic Guitar Secrets program,but somehow got off track by seeing an advertisement for legacy learning systems-Learn and Master Guitar by Stevfe Krenz. You endorsed this program and said it was a very good program. I then purchased this program the same day, not knowing you were introducing a new program yourself Guitar Theory Secrets.
I have not finished the Acoustic Guitar Secrets program and would like to stick with you on your program, but am a little confused on both issues. Please advise.

I don’t know about the ‘dynamic’ approach - from the looks of the questions, there seems to be a substantial # of ‘kids’ looking for ‘the easiest’, way, etc. Hey! It isn’t easy!!!! You want to train your mind and hands to simultaneously interpret and express what another part of your mind is producing - unless you’re a savant, you will have to WORK at it and you will get out of it only as much as you put in, period. That is why I encourage all parents to get their kids into music because it is such a great life lesson - if you are one of us who hears a passage that just nails us to the wall or washes waves of bliss over us, well, it can be learned, but it CANNOT be bought, finagled, stolen, etc. It is a lot of effin work.
Not being snotty , but get a shave before you video - it looks more professional
and it would tell everyone you have no doubts about your verility and are
not some trendy gq poser/pup - just a suggestion - great lessons, btw, but I am the guy who dropped out after amazing because I couldn’t understand why you’d use soooo much sustain and distortion bs whilst explaining subtleties like tonal nuance or the difference between a major and a minor third.

Dan,
I just have one question… How much is this going to cost?! I love the idea of learning as much theory as possible. I’ve played for a long time, but if I said I think I know all there is to know, I’d be lying. I want in!
Thanks!
Howell
February 12th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Yes, I’d like to see notation as it applies to the guitar. I can read music as I played baritone for years and I know bass clef as well, but applying it so I can sight-read anything would be great!
February 12th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Dan
Is there an easyer way I can learn all of the notes on the fretboard other then trying to memorize them? I do know a lot of them but I think there must be something I can do different.
thanks

February 12th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Hi Dan; you wanted a response to your little video.Change your backdrop and shirt color,cannot see your facial expressions and the black square above your head is distracting.There are 3 levels of instruction beginner intermidiate and advanced, I think the course should start at intermidiate.Basic theory is available everywhere. I do believe that most people get stuck on modes /scales and keys/fretboard position and patterns.
these patterns should be printable also, so we can plase them side by sideto compare and to write on or hang onthe wall for quick reference.i just look at myself what I do to help myself along, but I stil am missing 1 thing ,someone to explain it to me, show me the differences
February 12th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Dan:
Looking forward to this course, I am going thru AGS in review. I really need this course to bring all the “BITS and PIECES” iv’e learned together

February 12th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Dan,
I have been following your teachings for awhile now. Last spring I finally decided to purchase BGS, I have enjoyed the course and was actually thinking about purchasing another one of your courses, LGS, when you began talking about your new course Guitar Theory Secrets. I admit you have my attention.
I started playing Guitar at age 40 and I have not looked back. I picked up some stuff from friends, some stuff from the internet, some stuff from books. I have never taken professional lessons, I don’t want to make that kind of time committment.
After I purchased BGS, I must admitt I was a little disapointed. After opening the course I then put it on the shelf and left it for about two months. I think that my expectations were very high.
However I want to tell you that when I took your lessons off the shelf and started puttting them into practice, I realized that your teaching style is exactly what I need.
My understanding of the blues scale and panatonic scale went up greatly. The finger exercises were a great help and once I made the committment to practice them, My ability went up.
Friends started to comment on my improvements and my own enjoyment went up.
I just listened to your latested video, explaining how your Guitar Theory Secrets with work and when you mentioned “Ear Training” you got my attention. I still can not hear the tones. My friends hear a note and they know what it is
me I haven’t got a clue. So if you have a way where I could learn or Train my own ears 
Then Dan I am all ears.
I look forward to Friday Feb 15, 2008
Thanks again Dan.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Hi Dan:
I have bought already AGS, LGS and AGS and I have learned a lot.
I am having some troubles with rythms, and keeping the right time. I hope your new course will contain matters.
I am looking forward for next friday, by the way How much is this course going to cost._
February 12th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Hey Dan,
I gotta work Friday. Please save me a spot. Thanks
February 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Dan,
Sounds great, but it will probably be a problem for me. I’m usually in the minority in the understanding of some of the concepts you teach. Unfortunately because of that there were many unanswered questions (and still are) from Amazing Guitar Secrets, Blues Guitar Secrets, and I’m a little lost on Acoustic Guitar secrets. I’m afraid this will happen again. Not a slam on you by any means as you are a very good guitar player. I’ll just sit this one out until I catch up someday - Good Luck!
John

Your video did not come through on either time I tried it. I do not have high speed dsl in my area so that may be a reason I could not view it. James Reynolds…..
February 12th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
hi dan I would like you explain someting here this is only the second message I write in english and I have some problemes. I just listened your video and really intersting me but I am much confuse or mix up mabe someting I am not understand wen you explain your basic theory probably if you explain me with the neck and lite on each note I can understand more easy the different scales it is just my imagination working ha! ha!… for the moment I try to study my english in same time the theory on my guitar many thanks guy at more later
February 12th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Looks like your gonna have a few willing and ready students there Dan. I’m like John before me, gonna have to sit this one out. Still kinda bogged down on the blues secrets and haven’t opened the acoustic secrets other than the first video and just watched and decided to finish the Blues one first. Still waiting for a reply to the emails I sent about things in the course. Teaching a group as a whole will be quite the undertaking with all the different ideas and questions that will need to be answered quickly to keep up will all that will be coming. Kinda like trying to email a short letter to 25 friends every month. The cover all letter won’t do it, these will be like a classroom questions and more than likely will be almost everyday. Good luck, I have some experiance with classroom teaching of something almost as indepth, Blast Furnace Theory at a Steel Mill. On the job training always produces results of understanding the task. Reading it and applying it is a whole different ball game with out that important feature of a hands on instructor. Good Luck my friend and I mean it. This maybe the most challenging thing you have ever set out to accomplish and truly hope you give it your total commitment to get this done. Just remember to answer those email questions promtly so you don’t get discourged to quickly when they pile up and get backlogged and unanswered. In the mean time I’m gonna try to learn a new song every two weeks and do the Blues Secrets course untill its done so I can start the Acoustic course and get started. I have been looking at accoustic’s this week and wow is there a big difference in prices vs sounds. I should have tried harder to win the Martin!!!! Best Wishes….William Gray
February 12th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Hey Dan,
Because I have been a critic of your videos in the past that is with opp sees and woop sees and whatever. . . I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR MOST RECENT VIDEO PERIOD!
As Andrew says, keep in pickin’

I have written before about this. I am too “young” in my guitar career for this. I am having trouble with your Acoustic lessons because of your speed of instruction. You are not slow enough or diagmatic enough for we very beginners.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Hey Dan, I own Acoustic & Blues and am finding myself understanding different things but not knowing how to apply them, will this course help with this? I’ve never really liked theory very much due to the boring factor, but am willing to give it another shot but to what i have learned in your other courses. Oh Yeah, any idea about what the cost will be?

Dan,
You told us about payment options and the course is going to be 12 months, but you did not tell us how much it is going to cost. Since I am a senior citizen and pretty much on a fixed income I have to budget everything very carefully. How much is Guitar Theory Secrets going to cost.
Thanks,
George
P.S. I own three of your courses at present, Amazing Guitar Secrets, Lead Guitar Secrets, and Acoustic Guitar Secrets.
February 13th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Hi Dan, The course sound interesting - I am just finishing up the Learn & Master Guitar course and will be starting on the Amazing Guitar Secrets course in the next month or two. I like your interactive approach for the upcoming course but unfortunately I will be away on business on Friday and not near a computer. What will the course cost and can we pre-register before the 15th? Thanks, Jim
February 13th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Hello,
As requested here is my feedback after watching the video about the new course……
First as the owner of both Amazing Guitar Secrets and Blues Guitar Secrets, I am interested in this new course ……BUT…. I am also patiently waiting to receive the corrections that I pointed out to the errors in the Amazing Guitar Secrets….all of the Minor Scales were incorrect as I pointed out in my email of 9th December. I am sure that there is no point offering guitar tuition to customers if such inportant information is incorrect. I therefore to continue to wait patiently…….
And now my comments and suggestions in respect of your proposed new guitar theory course….
- the course delivered via a notifying email and downloadable video and text is maybe the best way of delivery regular lessons. While hard copy and DVD is great, it is not essential. Anyway delivery via post takes time.
- most of your courses already contain quite a bit of theory, so it is essential that whatever additional theory is provided in the course is accompanied by a way of using it in real time and real life playing - so the information needs to be usable in context with our daily playing. So video showing how, when and in which context to use it is extremely important.
- a regular 2 weekly lesson would be great and would allow us a period in which to learn, apply and practice the info provided. It MUST be regular though, so that it is just like going to a classroom, and we discipline ourselves to expect the arrival of the next lesson and put time aside to learn and practice it.
- close ups of the fret board are very important in the video’s.
- one of the things that has been missing in all your courses is the style in which the master have applied the knowledge that you are providing. I recently received a blues DVD that showed me how many of the “greats” like Clapton, BB King, Muddy Waters etc play their licks. It allowed me to easily identify the different styles and I learnt so much from this.
- learning how to put the theory into practice is essential. For example while your Blues course covered a lot to do with soloing, it did not show to much of the different forms of the blues, how to put it all together, the varying patterns like the quick form, 8 bar versus 12 bar, the huge variety of turnarounds and how to put it all together. As I am sure you will agree there is much more to playing the blues than 12 bar and licks.
- one very important thing that you should do is to provide diagrams of the whole fretboard showing the different scale positions. I have already drawn my own up and it allows me to easily compare the differences between Major, Minor, Melodic, Pentatonic scales etc.
- any theory lessons would be incomplete without showing the student ways (exercises and methods) to easily memorise the notes on the fretboard.
- Finally there should be something like a special Forum where students can ask questions (and get answers) about things they do not understand. I have wasted so much time learning those incorrect minor scales from Amazing Guitar Secrets and even after contacting you to point out these errors, I am still waiting for the correct info.
I hope this feedback helps.
Regards,
February 13th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Dan,
Think this is a good idea. I still suggest that you try to provide a two-level type program to avoid intimidating the beginner-early intermediate group and not hold back the intermediate-advanced players. This approach would allow the building blocks to be in place, and allow the beginners access to more advanced theory as they progress. Know it is tough to be all things to all groups…..but acknowledging the levels lets all know there is something in there for each person. Bob
February 13th, 2008 at 4:57 am
Dan Having read some of the above I just dont see how it can possible work ie the wide variation of both physical and theorhetical expertise is enormouse .Even if you took an average in both skills you would be pushing some and pulling others.In my case I would understand things better than I could perform them, and I would find that frustrating as I got left behind with another months instruction arriving having not mastered previous material. regards Harry
February 13th, 2008 at 5:00 am
hi Dan,
I think the idea is good, the feedback approach is what I would call: the vocational teacher approach where the teacher is willing to learn from the student.
This is not easy - it requires time and patience.
My mother (a saint of course!) taught infant classes, the most important; the introductions to reading and writing and arithmetic. She had taught classes with up to 54 kids. Times were different and maybe the organization was more strict.
Her approach was the same, letting the children advance with a particular eye on the “slower” ones to find the motivating angle. In all her forty odd years no children were sent for special schooling elsewhere.
I feel that a lot of the replies you seem to get comes from a desire to improve, but without a solid reason. There’s just a lot pleasure from winding down with a guitar and strumming. It’s a whole lot of fun playing with others.
For the ones that want to be rock stars, there’s plenty of three chord millionaire bands. Theory is fantastic for explaining things - power to you. A great mental excercise.
Dexterity comes from practice, I have always given the advice to “do your ten minutes a day” . This applies to everything, welding, gardening, writing, music, singing, even prayer.
Forcing yourself a bit to make the space in the day, makes it so much easier to go further, when you feel inspired.
The notes sound good, your fingers are doing what you want them to, without the effort, and it feels good.
I’m not trying to kill the course, but it is important that people enjoy themselves.
What I enjoyed most this year was a small video on Utube of Billy Gibbons demonstrating techniques from world famous players from simple to more difficult Hooker to BB King.
He made it look easy, and his analysis showed a lot of interest in the origins of little musical “signatures”. It made me pick up my guitar and try - No I didn’t get it all, but it was fun!
No effort is lost completely, even the sore fingers I had when I first started playing ‘cello is not forgotten.
And yes I’m an old Fart in my fifties, effort gets even tougher! I ONLY do it if it’s fun.
PS.Impressed by Jim Miller, You the man Jim!
Go out and buy a Martin when you’re 70 Wowzer!
Y’all keep on strummin’ & pickin’!

February 13th, 2008 at 5:32 am
Hi Dan,, I am looking forward to being able to get on your new course,I’m trying to fathom out your Acoustic course at present and would appreciate any further information on this new course…I will have to work out the time difference so I can register on time..I’m on the West Coast of Western Australia.and we don’t have any teachers here………….Yours respectfully..Bob Brown…
February 13th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Hi Dan.
My #1 question about guitar theory…
I’ve been thinking a lot about this since I received your first e-mail about this course. Since there are so much I want to learn in this area I didn’t find it an easy question to answer.
However, practical application of theory is probably my most important question at the moment. How to tie it all together when I play songs, be it rhythm or lead, in a band situation and make the theory I learn emphasize my own style for example.
Also, ear training is something I find more important the more I play.
About you other question here, yes reading notation would be good, especially sight reading.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:09 am
This course sounds great - ear training and recognizing intervals would be HUGE for me. I would like to see applying theory to songwriting and composition as part of this course.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Dan,
Love this concept and I am very interested. I own two of your courses and have been very pleased. One very annoying issue… how much? Budgets are tight and we all are trying to plan ahead. Come on already, tell us if we can afford it. ;o)
Keep up the great work!
February 13th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Dan:
I would like you to include a little moer expection on the pentatonic scales and how it works. I am a little confused on that.
Thanks
Jimmie
February 13th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Dan-
I have your other Courses, and I am still picking things up each time I go through the courses, again. Somestime it is just said a diffent way and that makes the light turn on…. Thanks
BTW - what is the Cost? As I am on Disability now, that may make th edifference; ’cause I am really interested, I am more of a machanical player than a creator; at least until i understand the process!
Thanks
February 13th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Dear Dan,
Thanks for letting me know about Steve Krenz lessons. I have all your lessons complete. But than I have to learn
and practise, so it will take a lot of time. Do you think
that this new course will add more to the huge amount
of lessons I have got already? Of course there will be eyeopeners and it will keep me going. Well lets see..
The Dutch alway ask how much will it cost?
JR Salakory
February 13th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
WOW Dan. You have gotten a lot of responses. I apprecaite the answer to my first question. I have purchase multiple courses from you, not because I knew I would PUSH through them but because you sent the CDs and books and I knew I would always have them. I expect the same with the new course. You are at times (most of them) difficult to reach but my struggles have been less in understanding what you said and shown as much in being able to execute it with my own fingers.
You also spoke highly of the (Krenz) lesson set and said it was the best you had seen (not the best marketing ploy when you are selling yours, my friend.) :). Which is best to select now and why?
What is the best way to learn the application (moving cords, hitting bars consistently, finger spread, muscle memorization,….). I have done your exercises and can work through most quite easily. If you want to hear someone run up and down the fret board I am here, if you want to hear music you might want to call someone else.
Thanks!
Mike
February 13th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Hi Dan,
I have several of your courses. From Blues, Lead, and Amazing. I’m still at the very beginning, and found these a little too much for me. Right now, I’m just doing a lot of finger exercises, and trying to put chords together smoothly. These in themselves have been a handful.No pun intended!
But I am interested in theory. So far all the theory books that I have already assume I know more than I do. The Roman numerals for instance. How did they start, and how and why to apply them to certain types of music. And how to figure out the notes or chords for playing them a certain way(like I,IV and V). I need things explained as if I’m totally ignorant. Circle of fifths; how and why, and what to do with it, or even how did it come about? I’m so in the dark on this stuff, and am afraid to commit to this and end up even more confused. I mean you would have to start at the very, very beginning for me, and I’m not sure I would be able to keep up.
Also, will you be putting together pages of information so that we can download, print and study them for future reference? Will the videos be downloadable to work on in our own time? There is so much that I want to learn, but I need to do it slowly so that it will sink in and hopefully make sense to me.
Regarding your videos. You look fine. If anything, grow your hair long, and maybe have a beard or goatee. Yeah, I’m a throw back from the sixties and seventies! Didn’t cut off my hair and forget all my dreams(Neil Young).
But otherwise, I’m interested in this. How much and all that? So keep up the good work, and maybe one day our paths will cross, being that I don’t live to far from you.
Thanks!
Jay
February 13th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Dan,
How much? I have to know quick!!!!!!
February 14th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Hi Dan,
Very interested in your course, but 11.00am Friday is 3.00am Saturday here. Kinda makes it hard to get on the list but will give my best shot.
February 14th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Hi Dan,
Your new course appears interesting and like many, the info needed right now is how much it will cost, considering its a 12 month thing.
Am at present midway in Steve Krentz’ Learn and Master Guitar after which I will be going into Ken Salter’s Guitar in 60 Seconds. Both are pretty good courses. What will your new course have that would be different from these two courses?
Anyway, I think more information would be needed before one can decide.
Many thanks.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:52 am
no thanx…I’m still trying to figure out your acoustic guitar secrets.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Hi Dan
some very good suggestions made above, my own primary concerns all covered; being sight-reading notation, translating this into fretboard positions without having to think about it, ear training, and particularly Mike’s comment on finger spread and muscle memorization: oh yeah, that’s a biggie. But what I’d want most of all, is the downloadable format writable to DVD so I can play it back on a TV rather that cramped over the PC. There’s one to work on before we get up and running. To the fellow UK contributor, we’re 5 hours ahead of eastern time my friend, so you’re looking at 4pm tomorrow.
Dan, many of us are doubtless going to struggle to get online at an appropriate time when the site first goes live - I’m having to work lots of afternoon/evening overtime just now and will be out most of the day Saturday sourcing a new car… PLEASE LEAVE THE SITE UP AND RUNNING FOR A FEW DAYS or there will most likely be several very disappointed “lost” customers.
Cheers
Simon
February 14th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Gotta follow up my last comment, as I posted that at 7.45 and it has just come up as 3.45 - if that is eastern time, then it appears we’re only 4 hours ahead just now. Damn British winter!
February 14th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
I WROTE YOU AN EMAIL THE OTHER DAY AND TOLD YOU I HAD LEFT HAND OPERATED ON FOR DUPUYTRENS DISEASE. MY RIGHT HAND IS DOING GREAT NOW . I STILL HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THE FIRST 2 COURSES I BOUGHT FROM YOU , SO WHEN I CAN PAY AGAIN , IT WILL KEEP ME BUSY. IM ALSO ON DISABILITY AN STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH THIS COURSE WILL BE. IM STILL INTERESTED. LOVEANDHUGS, CIAO PHILLY JO
February 15th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Dan,
I was really looking forward to this course. However, the cost, even if I was the first person to register seems really quite high. Good luck in your endeavor. I wish you much success with this program, it is indeed providing a service. Maybe in the future it will be within my means. Regards Mike
February 15th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Thanks for addressing my question about chord combinations. Notation is definitely something I’m interested in. Also, ear training, but I’m not sure how you can help with that. It seems that this is something that will come only after listening repeatedly to notes and chords being played. If there is a method to the madness then I am definitely interested.
Where’s the email to register?
February 19th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Notation, Notation, Notation!!!
February 19th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Hi Dan, well I will have to agree with you….the video quality really does suck but on the other hand all your videos in the past have looked really good. I think video you did on theory needs to be re-done. I would say change your background so people aren’t looking at what looks like your front door. Also, make the video larger and with better clarity just like you did the others. It looks to me like you were in a hurry and just tried to put the video together in a big hurry. On another note, I love your acoustic guitar secrets course!

Dan, I just want to know if this was a mistake or intentional? I’m not knocking you, please understand that right up front. Of all the courses out on the internet, I chose yours after very long thought and investigation. I believed that you were the most knowledgeable, sincere and honst instructor on the internet. With that said…I was watching your video on the caged chords (Amazing Guitar Secerets Gold course). I was already familar with it from the Fretboard Logic book + cd. I kept rewatching it as it was late and I am on morphine for pain. So I kept saying I must of missed it again. But as it turns out The chord A wasn’t discussed. Now be honest with me, was this just an oversight, or did I miss something? Your fellow guitarist and hopefully friend, Tom Benton Sr Wilmington, De 19808 (302)-995-7044.

Dan,
I signed up for the Theory class but haven’t heard anything. What is the status?
