  • A look at some tips and tricks that you can use to help you write and achieve a 2010's style Shoegaze sound. This video also breaks down some essential chord voicings and the music theory behind them. Also, for those who might have noticed, I had a video similar to this one up last week, this is essentially the same idea (but with clearer explanations, more notes, and better camera angles!)

    I really appreciate these lessons you make. The only thing that sucks about guitar is the only thing non guitarist think is impressive is playing fast or shredding. I started learning legato to get my speed up but realized it’s more important to learn the fundamentals first and it doesn’t matter what people think.

    • @drtm1718
      @drtm1718 Год назад +38

      The most important things in playing guitar are:
      1. Doing whatever is fun, fulfilling, or enjoyable to you.
      2. Practice consistently.
      3. Be open to trying and learning new things.

      shredding has limited applications and most people are majorly turned off by it

    • @MoncoField
      @MoncoField 11 месяцев назад +5

      Thats non sense, I've been playing guitar just about 20 years now and i still dont know how to "shred." And for half those years i pretty much only knew power chords lol. But i played many shows with different bands, or played an acoustic at parties or on the beach, or by a camp fire, and people have always enjoyed it. Shredding only seems to impress beginner guitarists, and non guitarists who like metal lol. Simple chords work fine for the majority of people, and if you learn to sing AND play, people are even more impressed with you. Trust me, singing over some basic chords will almost always impress people versus just random shredding

    @d.townzen1337 Год назад

    Kind of a dumb question, but what's the difference, if any, of calling a sus2 a sus2 instead of an add 9? A 9 is a 2nd up an octave right? Or am I missing something?

    • @mrpzak
      @mrpzak Год назад +1

      I think the sus2 is a triad while the 9 is an add9, meaning it’s a 4 note chord.

    • @ace-smith
      @ace-smith 10 месяцев назад +1

      technically an add9 requires the third and just root - fifth - ninth is a different voicing of a sus2. but lots of people call this shape an add9 in this specific context and imo the distinction doesn't matter enough that it needs to be corrected. an add9 minus the third is a way more intuitive reading of that chord shape than _sus2 but with the second up an octave_ imo. like for a long time i didn't even know that they technically weren't add9s
