Writing and production. Millions of "how to mix" alternatives out there but there is a need for quality production and composition tutorials. You'd crush this.

I'd like to see a small series on putting a song together, the key chosen and why, the chord progression (with some embellished chords and why they were chosen, not just 4 pop chords) and some lead line ideas, and then the process in recording it.

Something different: Hi Paul, my daughter plays violin and often plays the melody of a song. I would like some education on how to figure out what chords I could play behind her melody, so I can play together more often with her. I guess this is a music theory type lesson.

No one does it better than you Paul. I really like the riffs, analysis of licks and progressions, lessons, etc. I thank you for all of the information you so freely give out to us.

I love your outdoor videos where you play inspiring tunes. You made me learn to play the deep river blues because off one of those, thank you!

I love that even the most straightforward lesson has a story and a guiding thread. However simple or complex the lesson is, there’s always a takeaway for me. Thanks David!!

Daily practice chat to improve gradually. Contain warm up / theory practice / ear training / songs to choose / daily monthly weekly schedule / and lastly feed good jam session. Thanks a bunch for nice videos 😊

Having read some other posts: Paul, I have three YouTube guitar mentors. You fill the most important space - love and understanding. I froth on everything you produce - content, learning, love and humour. What's not to like? Whoever's helping you with video is either a teacher or a guitarist. Just lovely. I'd be interested in a segment or series on chordal fill idioms, esp with reference to positioning/CAGED.

General guitar lessons, and music theory -- both gems I need to steal here from you! ❤🎸🎵🎶

As a fellow Rotterdammert, I gotta say I love all your videos - but some of those quick theory lessons helped me prepare for the conservatory auditions which I made! So a quick thanks would be appropriate, and I hope you can help others the same way :)

I like when something very specific and nuanced interests you. Like the video on Hendrix and timing. So sort of a combo of lessons, riff analysis, and theory, but what makes it really interesting is that it's the sort of thing only a passionate musician would pick up on

Lesson regarding creating own music. Like connecting scales to make solos. Some unique techniques, how and where to use

You've made listening to music theory feels like listening to Bob Ross explaining how he drew his art.

Theory and lessons. Particularly lessons with a 'practical application of theory' slant: progressions, scales, chords, modes - that sort of thing. I love the guitar reviews, but I've never been as excited by music theory as I have by your lessons! I studied music for seven years at school, but there have been plenty of things you've explained which have made me just 'see' it where I never got it before.

I would love to see more about creating your own music: writing, composing, getting inspiration, etc. Everything that leads up to a piece of music

What helps me most is hearing philosophy about people’s approach to guitar. Some people draw power from minimalism, and it’s the opposite for others. Or the idea that ensemble music is a conversation. I feel like you can find information anywhere but your personal point of view is unique. I feel like there are a lot of ‘thought experiments’ you could play out about the nature of music and what head-spaces we approach it with.

An older student I enjoy your interpretations doing steel string and nylon enjoy finger style and classical reading of music

One thing that I’ve noticed is guitar lessons rarely explain the music theory behind a song they’re teaching. Beyond “it uses mostly pentatonic”. But especially in modal solos and full scale usage. It would be nice to go over the scales used and the key and why the scales make sense with the chord progressions. The learning process is so much easier after creating that foundation of understanding.

Hi folks, hope you're all well :)
I've got a quick Q for you... I always try to balance the stuff I put out here on YouTube as much as possible, but what would you like to see more of?
Thanks a bunch for helping me out!
