thanks for the video! I'm curious about your take on sitting in as the 2nd guitarist in a band. Say you join a jam session and there's already someone playing rhythm, what would your thought process be to decide what to play?
I love how your videos are aimed at beginners, but I've been playing for nearly 20 years and you still give advice and exercises that I've never heard of before.
A tip I learned. Wear your strap when practicing when sitting. Some benefits are that you will have the guitar in roughly the same position when standing, so your fingerings are the same. Second, is that you’re not using your hands and forearms to hold the guitar in place while sitting. You will notice you are always adjusting and you might be holding the guitar incorrectly that makes fretting or picking harder than it should be.
Finally, after years of asking so many different instructors, exactly how do I mute that noise when I pull away from a string and never getting a straight answer that didn’t require finger gymnastics or applying a magical just perfect palm mute. I will be going in to practice this method today! It’s been a huge source of annoyance for me.
One more true story... About 4-5 years ago, the google algorithm offered me your video - How to start improvising on the top 3 strings. Then he asked me for the first time about the usefulness of the video and what I think about it. It was the bomb in that time. The first Gamechanger. Thinking about bottom part of aeolian-minor pentatonic scale-Where is the root and other intervals inside of scale.. Thanks alot for help.
This is my first visit to your channel, Andrew: My compliments. It's really original and full of valuable information. And you're just a kid! Keep on pushing out the great content and inspiring those of us who want to gain really understand the guitar. Thanks again!
I've just picked up the guitar again after a 13 year stoppage. I wasn't any good back then, being self taught. I'm embarking on that journey once again though, and moments into the video & you've taught me something valuable that I would never have thought about. Priceless. Thank you.
This could be a breakthrough for me, coming from acoustic I've struggled with string muting & using the left hand more looks kinda up my street, thank you!
Great videos man. I have searched all over RUclips and never found someone explain scales like you did. I have just plucked around with guitar for a few years but am a complete amateur. Do you recommend a novice doing your play list that is all lessens in order or do you have a preferred order for a novice that you could suggest. BTW I joined the channel and have my son watching you too.
Hey! Thanks for joining. I really appreciate that. My videos don't follow a total step-by-step path, but that "All Lessons In Order" playlist is probably your best bet for now :) You'll likely find a point where things get a little too challenging though.
Hey, Andrew! Another great video, love your approach on every single one of them! I did notice before that your playing is very refined, clear, precise... I guess it comes from the attention to details such as this thing you mentioned on the video... on that note, I'd like to ask if you have any tips or perhaps you could even make a video about getting a perfect sound on open chords, specifically the ones when you're not supposed to play one or more string, does it make sense? I have always struggled to get a really nice and clear sound sometimes, not sure when to use the right hand or try to use a finger of the left hand to mute strings whilst making the chord... even arpeggios or other situations... I feel like I was able to develop a decent level of playing, but always felt like it sounded too sloppy... lol
@redbloodedamerican2346 No doubt man! And it absolutely tore his fingertips up..but that was his method to get "the feel". I heard he used super glue to close up his bleeding fingers lol.
It just came naturally to me at the age of 8 years old. No pressure. It's the Feel now 64 I'm a master 🎸🤘🏼👍🏼🥂. Feel comes with pressure 🎸. This is for 2024 beginners. Like yourself. self taught 🎸🤘🏼🥂
Thanks for watching! What kind of topics would you like me to cover next? Leave a comment and let me know :)
Beginner’s guide line for guitar learning
Sir I am a great fan and you are a great teacher sir I want to talk with you
thanks for the video! I'm curious about your take on sitting in as the 2nd guitarist in a band. Say you join a jam session and there's already someone playing rhythm, what would your thought process be to decide what to play?
Thanks Andrew. A topic to cover: the 7th chord of a key, the diminished chord.
I’d love to see a video about the basics of songwriting on the guitar!
I love how your videos are aimed at beginners, but I've been playing for nearly 20 years and you still give advice and exercises that I've never heard of before.
That's the goal! ☺
I know. I paid alot of teachers who weren't really teachers🤷🏽♂️
yeah, like I think I have already been doing this kind of automatically, but it's still good to be aware of in some moments and a helpful exercise!
@@Warriorjc7No They were Reachers! Yeah Reaching out and putting there hand in your pocket! And taking your Cash😂😂😂

Would love to see different triad inversions which I can incorporate into my practice and how they work for different chords and help my lead playing.
Good idea! I'll get to work on something.
How do you mute a chord with open strings, this way?

thank you so much for this! this is exactly what i needed
@@michellef3110 you’re welcome!

I hope so! It’s definitely an important skill to work on. Thanks for watching :)
This is so helpful, Andrew. Thank you!!
You’re very welcome!
the right video at the right time! thanks!
You're welcome!
Great lesson! No one ever talks about this stuff.
The video I needed. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Starting to practice this right away! What is the guitar you’re playing? Love gold and black guitars!
It's a Baum Wingman. They're really cool guitars!

Thank you very much.
Always great philosophy.
Thank you!
Note. If you have HIGH HIGH action. More pressure is needed. Lower that action
Unless you're a freak like SRV! Oh, that excludes me. I'm going to go to lower my action now..
@CmonManReally lol! DEFINITELY! His string gauge and action height wete crazy
@redbloodedamerican2346
No doubt man! And it absolutely tore his fingertips up..but that was his method to get "the feel". I heard he used super glue to close up his bleeding fingers lol.
@@CmonManReally Yup. I've heard the same. And glue his callouses on when they peeled off.
Elite lesson. Class dismissed. Thanks.
You're very welcome!

This is random, but you kinda look like the male version of Alexandra Botez (the chess player and streamer) 😂
If she was this calm tho
Hahaa, I think I can kinda see it 😂
Lol the word "tough" doesn't apply 🤣 😅
