Congratulations on the 80K of sub's. There will be many more, You are a great teacher, softly spoken, none abrasive. This channel will blow up. Cause even the highly experienced, like me, are still down to learn, if the teacher is interesting.
Ive been doing a paid course for a few yrs, but like it all the channels have the same problems..eg. "heres a piece of theory without explanation of application, leading to more theory videos, etc etc ' your minor pentatonic soloing video made so many bits of impractical music theory tie other bits of music theory together, such a relief im moving fwd again.. ive passed that onto my preteen sons and theyre blown away by the fretboard comprehension explosion
I just watched a video on “how to play guitar without a pick” and WAS so thrown off to see that you were the one doing the video with blonde hair lol was so cool to see. Would be awesome if you did an update version of that video on this channel! Congrats on 80k subs!
Andrew, First, thank you for being such a great teacher! Second, what is the notes you're using at 9:26 of the video? I am trying to follow, but can't see exactly where your fingers are lol.
Great video! I’m just curious what scale you were using at 3:50? For example is it the pentatonic scale in the same key as that song or something else. Sorry if this question doesn’t make sense I’m still on my journey to understand the basics of guitar and how it all works. Thanks!
Good question! It's just the G major scale in different connected positions. Nothing else :) I cover pretty much everything I used here in my videos on scale shapes/soloing.
Any tips for using weaker fingers for caged shaped like c with no Pinky, how to land On the chordsquickly with weak fingers and moving between chords with weak fingers?
Just like any other muscle group, it comes down to building up that strength through repition with proper technique. The C shape is REALLY tough because your hand is stretching across four frets and applying a lot of pressure in every area. Work on taking the shape off the fretboard and resetting your hand by placing it on your knee. Then place the entire shape on the fretboard in one movement, not finger by finger. It can be as slow as it needs to be. Once it's in position, try playing the chord, make any small adjustments to make it sound better, then take it off again and reset. Do this over and over to develop muscle memory and build strength in your hand. Your hand will get really tired, but that's the point. The point of fatigue will happen later and later and over time you'll develop the strength you need to consistently play the shape. Hope that helps!
I was starting to like your tutorial. But you lost me when you started playing a 'chord' progression, but you're not strumming chords. You're playing notes. And I just don't get it. I'm your basic forever beginner.
When playing fingerstyle it is common to arpeggiate the notes of a chord (play them separately), sometimes letting them ring out and overlap each other, but not always. To our ears and brain the context still remains enough so that we perceive the outlined chords, even if they're played melodically (sequentially) instead of harmonically (at the same time).

What is your favorite chord progression? 😊
Number 3!!
I love number 5. What colorful chords!
You always come with a video at the end of my work to sweeten the weekend. I love the scenery change.
I'm glad you liked it!

It's all about creating connections between the things we learn! I'm glad I've been able to help :)
Please do more chord progression videos!
Okay! 😁
I love how concise your videos are!
Great lesson, very useful! Many thanks mate.
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it!

Haha, yeah there are a few videos out there from that era. Might need to redo some of them! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video, great channel, great chord progressions!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😄
Thanks again,you are such a great teacher🙏
You are very welcome!
Thank you.
You're welcome!

Hope this impresses my guitar instructor this week 🤞🏼
Hopefully! Let me know how it goes 😄

I’ll give it a look. Thanks!
Please make one similar video with choord progs and some lead idea, usefoul for jaming alone with looper ;)
Thanks for the great video Andrew! What guitar were you playing for a few of the progressions starting at 2? Looks like a thinline Tele?

@@tarcisioe How do you know which notes to play when?
