  • I remember super clearly being in high school and really wanting to solo so badly and not understanding what to do or actually what to practice even. Today I'm going to explain 6 points of how to transfer your playing from just practicing the scale into real music. If you practice these points you will make it happen.

      I'm fairly new to the game but the best advice beside new tips you've been adding to my world are from Guthrie Govan in his 5 Part series "Guthrie Govan Words of WISDOM" -> ruclips.net/video/W0yKCpidQ-s/видео.html&ab_channel=RonnyGutierrez

    The best music advice had was paying attention to every detail of my playing and be patient with my progression 🙂

    The best advice I ever got happened on a jazz gig in 1975 when I was 18 years old. On the gig was Flip Jackson, a veteran tenor player from Detroit. I was in the middle of a solo, playing some bulls**t stuff I had been working on , when Flip had finally heard enough and screamed at me from across the stage “Hey kid, shut up and play the blues!” It was devastating at first, but I eventually came to understand that what he said was a metaphor for so much of what I believe now as a player. 1. Play from your heart and soul. 2. Play with groove. 3. Practice at home, not on the gig. 4. Respect your audience. 5. Most of the time less REALLY is more. B.B. King said more to an audience playing the root note of a chord with his distinctive vibrato than most say during a whole solo.

    Reminds me of an old instructional tape by Barney Kessel. His advice was to play a chord and sing a melody that goes with that chord. Then play that melody on guitar. Very simple, but effective.

      Yes, i do that a lot. Also very useful to sing and play that melody at the same time. Then axpand the melody and keep singing the melody as you improvise. Good and fun way to 'unlock' the fretboard by ear and to train the ear at the same time..... I think.....

  • @giancork1656
    @giancork1656 3 года назад +1

    One thing that I have starting doing a bit of late is giving myself limitations. For example: play a blues progression or a jazz blues progression or whatever. If you have a looper loop it, otherwise just play the chord then a melody line, chord, melody line and so on. But limit yourself to play melody on only two strings at a time for each chord, maybe starting with low E and A, then D and G, then B and E until you arrived to the fourth chord where you are free to play any strings. Or invert and start from E and B (hope it is clear what I mean...) Or come up with your own rules and limitations. I find it a good and fun excersize for playing horizontally and memorize/visualize a scale. Even more fun with a friend swapping chords/lines. Thanks for all this really good videos man.

    Thanks Rotum, great video. What do you use when you strike a chord and it keeps ringing at the same volume without decay. That's awesome. Cool to play a chord then layer a scale or lead over it.
    Happy New Year my friend,
    Cheers

    Hey @Rotem Sivan!
    Thanks for your content. I'm really enjoying the content you're putting out and learning a lot from it. I have a question: when you mention the 5 positions of the major scale are those the same that would correspond to the CAGED system? I've also heard about the 7 positions of the major scale - are those the same that correspond tomthe 3-notes per string approach? I know that in the guitar community there is a debate between those who use either the CAGED system or 3-notes per string approach. I would love to hear your thoughts about those?
    I know that the most important aspect of learning the guitar as a musical instrument, as you point out in your videos, is to get a grasp of and understanding the function of notes, chords, scales, intervales, theory etc of whatever instrument you're learning within the concept of music and creating music. As someone said and something that I'm trying to remind myself of: "Don't think of yourself as a guitar player but rather as a musician who uses the guitar as an instrument to express your creativity and music through your chosen instrument"
    Sorry about my rambling.
    Once again, thank you for the content you're making and sharing your knowledge about this instrument we use to express ourselves

    My teacher always said the same things as you. But he once said that music theory always facinates him cause it tell him the greater possibilities in music. The arpeggios or intervals that are pretty hard to sing and use on an improv on a go but can still be applied if you know thoery and understand how the notes work. Would love to know your take on that
