      @@chriskitchen4772 thank you! My wife deserves all the credit for our family being what it is.
      In case you were curious, our dog's name is Diesel. The name was picked by the previous "owner," who used Diesel as part of a dog fighting operation (hence the clipped ears, also definitely not done by us). A friend of ours saved the dog from the original owner, and we were given the opportunity to give Diesel a new, safe home. He is a very sweet dog with an excellent temperament.

    Thank you very much for this video. To be part of something you have to learn .... Especially in the guitar world. I also made these mistakes in my youth. Not that I saw myself as a singing and guitar star, but I never learned about being part of a band, part of a song.
    Fucking ego can be more than a brake on the evolution of being a good guitar player.
    Good luck with your channel and your family.

    a virtuoso in being valuable a guitar player
    i think, Kyle might this flavor of a virtuoso, while I bet, he can shred as well, if he feels like and/ or the performance commands it
    anyhow, i really enjoyed this video a lot
    fun fact, i am not really part of a band etc, mainly accompanying on singer or a bunch of ladies having fun singing together, and while i play not by ego, i am observing oftentimes, that lesser might be exactly what is needed, and our context is not even incorporating a rythm section, horns, keyboards, just merely my accoustic , one lady playing a djimbe drum and half a dozen voices
    even here room for Kyle's advice
    cool
    thanks

    Hey man 👋. Im trying to get better at guitar and im finding more time to play guitar. (Up to too hours) I was wondering how to practice because i normally just practice songs. I have a feeling this isnt the most effective ehat do you think ? Thanks 🙏

    • @realkylehooks
      @realkylehooks  2 месяца назад +2

      @@Woobbled I think that musical understanding is the most important thing. Your first step shouldn't be learning a song. Pick a song that you love -- a song that you love overall, not just because of some badass riffs. Before you learn the guitar part, find out what key it's in, then practice each scale position up the neck in that key. Then practice the chord triads for each chord and position up the neck. NOW it's time to learn the guitar part, and pay attention to how each part fits within the scales and chord triads you just practiced. Now learn the vocal melody, and see how it fits within the chord structure and scales. Now learn the bass part. Training your ear for bass is a great way to find chord progressions. Also pay attention to the rhythmic interplay between bass and guitar. You'll start to understand the parts themselves, but more importantly, WHY those parts were chosen.
      If you do all that for one song, the next song and the next and the next will be so much easier to learn and understand, and then creating your own unique songs with great composition will also be easier

    Even those virtuosos can't play everything. At least not on the spot and have to train. Train train train.
    Helps if you're a rich boy with a variety of gear to mess with and the free time to play and access to being taught how to play like the best of the best.
    Stop telling people that they suck weird mustache guy. It's rude and sets a bad example for the kiddo there. Be a better dad and less of a guitar snob bro : )

      @@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 eh, I wouldn't call myself rich. I'm just picky about what I spend money on. It's taken almost 25 years to acquire the guitars and gear I have, one piece at a time. I don't eat out, I don't go to movies, I don't drink or smoke, I don't take vacations, I do my own vehicle maintenance, and more. All ways to save a few bucks here and there, and that adds up over time.
      You're the only one so far who is offended by humorously being told they suck. The good news is, as Jake the Dog puts it, "Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta okay at something."
      I'm only sorta okay at guitar because lots of more skilled and talented musicians over the years have pointed out to me all the ways I sucked, and more importantly, how to fix those errors.
      Lastly, how dare ye! My mustache is a most magnificent masterpiece, man.
