Twice a month would be great! I would like to get your take on playing standing up verus sitting down - posture, body mechanics, looking cool versus playing your best, etc

Scott.

Absolutely love the way you explained the concept of note relationships like human ones. Lightbulb moment for me and I've been playing for 40 years....never thought about it in those terms before. Gonna start calling my second cousin Dorian now and see how long it takes him to figure it out. (He also plays but doesn't know theory at all.) 🤘🤪

Great video, but what's the new amp below the Friedman???

James Stevens

So how does you decipher what all in a chord progression determines the mode aside from the root

Art Romo

Thank you! Loved how you explained modes..I have been schooled.

Noah

I don't think I've ever "heard" the modes presented. Amazing. And the display of the notes at the bottom made it easy to understand the interval relationships.

Sean O

Absolutely monthly- my favorite kind of content. Thanks!

Hey Uncle Ben! New Patron here. You’ll get a kick out of this. I am a mail carrier for USPS. I got one of those Enya smart guitars with the built in amp. I intend to practice during my lunch break. You will help me be the world’s shreddiest mail man.

so stoked to hear that!!

Ben Eller

yo man!!!! hmmm.... great question. It's been a while, I would need to do some digging. Maybe I'll just cook up a new one for Patreon?

Josh Lenz

Which videos in particular are explaining intervals?

Torrence Welshans

This was extremely helpful! Thanks, Uncle Ben. I'd been drilling myself on intervals using the Waay app and you're totally on point about that unlocking so much. Theory doesn't sound like wizards speaking the old tongue anymore. And now it's so much easier to retain what you're saying.
