👍 going to check it out. I see you use Dr Duck Ax Wax.... I use it also, for my maple fretboard and rosewood fretboard conditioner on my rosewood. I don't like Dr Ducks on the rosewood, the rosewood doesn't seem to absorb
I get it finally! Thanks for a great explanation.
I taught myself the horn parts to the song, " kind of a drag " by just listening to the song. That was a real milestone for me.
Im in this weird spot where i only know rhythm and chords, and single notes and soloing seem like hydrographics. Also, i suck holding a pick like hitting strings way too hard.
Hi Lee thanks so much for the detailed lesson! I have been playing guitar for 50 years bass and rhythm and always wanted to learn blues lead. I was always floundering around with no direction. With you I can learn to bend notes and know WHERE to go when I take a lead. I usually am a solo easy listening acoustic performer and don't play lead at all. This was my first lesson with you and I will be looking forward to playing some leads in the future with my mates. Thanks for all you do.
Very nice excellent progression thank you very much 😊
You are welcome, Stormy! Glad you are here!
Awesome teaching. You definitly deserve a lot more suscribers. Got a lot of fun while learning. Dont know why I hear some c.c.r ringing in my head
😁 I hear a little CCR too! Welcome and thanks for the great comment!
Just subscribed. Drummer who also loves guitar and stopped playing 20 years ago...just reintroduced myself but need structure and lessons.
Welcome, BakeMan66! I'm happy to help you start moving forward! I offer 1-on-1 coaching. Let me know more about your playing, and I'll get right back to you. www.playguitaracademy.com/play-guitar-coaching
Excellent lesson. Very well done. Will practice it!
Thanks!
Very good instructions and examples!! I subscribed. Do you take song lesson requests?
Thank you! Yes, I'll be getting song lessons together soon. Happy to hear your requests!
@@PlayGuitarAcademy Cody Jinks “Fast hand”. Bluesy Country song
that's why I'm buying a telecaster, i had some noise coming out of a new Stratocaster's bridge, so had to return it.
Why didn't you show a screen shot of your settings. I think we could find that useful. The second tone you came up with sounded great.
Absolutely awesome ❤❤
Nice work! I can relate to the "rut" you speak of and this will help get me out of it. Cheers!
Thanks
love that lesson thanks
Your Play Guitar Podcast sign totally reminds me of the old Indian Chief Pontiac signs from the 60s. I think it's pretty rad
You are right! I hadn't thought of that. I've got a red tshirt sample with the white logo that looks great. I'm going to make it available pretty soon.
Just found this channel. Great teacher. Short and to the point. I’m 65, I have been trying to find this kind of teaching . I think you’re spot on. I now I feel like I can actually put these things together and make better music. Thank you.
I can finally see which frets you’re actually on and follow the notes. Great job and thank you!
reminds me of that scene from the movie about Mozart. "just cut a few and it'll be fine".
Sounds like this is part of my next lesson 😂
Thanks for the free lessons 😊
Thank you
My thing is, I practice songs but I also have an isolated practice time to technique and timing. The thing about it is it’s repetitive. No matter what back track I use it’s still annoying because it’s usually hard and I have to slow it down so much it’s boring
Just picking my guitar back up after a 4 year break. I'm going to try some of this on my acoustic, but I might have to break out the Tele..
I’d grasp it much better if I just watched it done nice and slow like you’re doing. Over and over. I really don’t give a rip about notes and chords. Beginner talking here.
Just because u didn’t care, doesn’t mean others don’t….Learning the theory behind it helps people like me who improvise.
Any time you bend a note you need a target note. David Gilmour: Target notes are for kids 😂😂😂
Great Lee! Nice lesson!
Any other beginners in here finding it really f'ing difficult to just simply get the right fingers on the corresponding fret!? Or do i just suck?
You said it in your first sentence, you're a beginner. We all had the same problem as beginners. Just keep practicing and you'll get over that faster then you think
When you change cords or go to the next fret pretend your hand and fingers are falling in to the next position in slow motion. Once you’ve made the transition just hold that cord and mess around with picking pattern for a bit until that position becomes more familiar. You can also take you’re fingers off the strings just slightly then put them back on in repetitions to familiarize yourself with how it feels the land the cord correctly. Once you become comfortable you will naturally gain speed
Well, it’s hard. What were you expecting?
LMAO, I think my Blues solos sound just fine. The problem is, no one else agrees with me. Looking forward to this one. Thanks
And I'm famous but it's a secret 👍
That's one beautiful guitar! Tell us a little about it please...
Thanks
Thanks very helpful.
Love the content!
Your content is fantastic but your RUclips channel lacks visibility due to poor SEO and optimization. Improve your video titles, descriptions, tags, and channel settings to boost discoverability and attract more subscribers and viewers. Effective SEO is key to growth...
They don’t break because of the headstock angle having tension on it, they break because people drop them. They don’t just break for one day
Your content is great but your channel has very few subscribers and views. I noticed that you regularly upload videos to RUclips. I checked your channel and found some problems. Your videos are not SEO optimized, videos are not using powerful tags, channels are not properly optimized and Channel tags are not used. As a result, your video doesn't reach audience.
Very cool and informative ..👌
Great stuff but I could not get through the whole video before hitting overload. I saved the video so I can watch it in sections (like you eat an elephant one bite at a time)!
Excellent thanks
This is great thanks and I love the clean tone you are getting. Could you say something of the rig you are using and the settings. Thanks again
Your videos have helped me tremendously! I can't thank you enough
You are welcome! Thanks for playing along!
If you struggle to use arpeggios in your solos, start using these three exercises in your daily practice to put them on autopilot!
One thing. Bend your fingers not your wrist. Keep the wrist straight. This will keep you from getting carpal tunnel. And will build strength in fingers.
Your point is valid, but this is nearly impossible to do all the time unless playing in the "classical guitar" position, and I wish I had started out playing that way. I'm kinda stuck now in standard position, and find that it translates better to playing standing up. I am a physical therapist and didn't start playing until I turned 50 six years ago. I do stretch my arms and shoulders before playing and I watch my spinal position while I play (slumping will add stretch load to the median nerve), and if I find myself practicing something that leads to awkward wrist positions I do it in spurts. Repetition with the wrist in a compressed position over long time frames seems to be the critical factor in developing carpal tunnel problems - more than about 10 minutes is pushing it. I have treated patients where they are also wearing the guitar too low (like Ramones low) and that leads to severe wrist angles. There is also a correlation to the actual genetically determined diameter of a person's carpal tunnel and whether they'll develop a problem, but that's not something that can be changed. Anyway, here's to many years of enjoyable playing for everyone without pain!
If your fingers are long enough!
Great reminder! Do you have any advice for somebody as myself that has difficulty keeping their wrists straight as I don’t have long enough fingers?
@@JorgeQ-g5t Move your elbow forward. Lower thumb.
chords come first because it's a guitar
Dude subbed you
Thanks for subscribing, Bill!
This was very good. A great refresher course and I did learn some new stuff too.
Great to hear!
honestly so useful. I didn't understand building chords when i played keyboard. I came to guitar and learned the most "useful" chords, open ones and different barre chords and had a go at some triad inversions but this video made everything click for me. Like over the last couple years I'd picked up the whole numbers of the scale being progressions and using the circle of fifths to build progressions but now you just made everything click all the stuff I was being told about piano finally makes sense and it's been applied to the instrument I actually use daily. Will probably need to go through the video again and then go off and my own and see how it relates in other keys to solidify it, but holy shit you just showed me exactly what I needed man!
That's fantastic! I'm glad that this is all making sense.
Make sense.
Great video Lee! Very useful! Thank you!
