The best guitar lesson advice I ever got was learn all of your major scales in the first five frets with no open strings. Then do all of your intervals with that same mindset.
Hahaha that's what we have to learn of the masterclasses. All the lessons require a lot of work after they gave us the info. It is not magic, is not that easy, but with a lot of practice! It is possible.
Agree 100% scales with a metronome. One tip when doing intervals is to start with easy ones, sixths an sevenths are a bit of a mind bender. I also find knowing the notes all over the keyboard for each key is really helpful. So mix up your scales each week, go up or down whole steps, C, D, E. Or around the circle G, C, F, etc.
Yep. There's a bit of good info out now, but that is the one book that can actually change one's world. Consider, especially, when it was published, late 80s I think. All you need is AG and a cassette recorder... lol
I love seeing all these great players but i find it really ironic that most records sold are by artists that now minimal theory and a few songwriter chords. Paul mcartney could be sat in this room and he just be as confused as everyone else.
Most people can’t handle the horrible boredom and grind that is required to do all this. I suspect a low level of autism is required to be a great player. Spending that much time on scales with a metronome is a total grind.
You say a low level autism... I say I high level of "concentration" !!! Do you really think all the best guitar players are autistic? Come on now, get concentrating, get motivated, and and in a few years you will play well....
Totally agree. And it depends on what one wants to accomplish. Do you want to be a true virtuoso? Or do you want to be just a great guitarist? If it's the latter, this is totally unnecessary.
I must have a touch of autism, as I absolutely love the stuff! It’s fun when you break it up. For instance, metronome-based exercise only takes up around 45 minutes per day of a 5 hour routine. The rest of it is more theory based learning, transposing and learning licks/songs
Has anyone checked this content?? The instruction is completely wrong for Voice Leading and Power of Two notes. Voice leading is the concept of carrying one or more notes over from chord to chord in harmony. VL is not about scales. The power of two notes he asks the bass player to play "C" and then he calls out a chord over "D." It's completely wrong. This is what happens when you have self-study musicians trying to teach music. Please take this down. Oz should stick to playing not teaching.
@@christophersherwood2879 lol jazz/fusion is a style not a technique. literally just arpeggios and small bits of chromatic scale runs. legit classical players run rings around anyone else.
@@tuomas3964 "groove" as in play the correct notes at the correct time, while employing sm rubato? yes. altho, i did hear itzhak perlman try to improvise one time, it sounded like a klezmer street musician, kind of sucked, while mark o'connor is sort of the best of crossover violinists...
Never met even a university classical guitar teacher come close to say an Ed Bickert or lorne Lofsky Respectfully not even close and do not ask them to improvise they will freeze. Their level of theory is much weaker. Jazz is king
This is such a good breakdown of how to develop your lead playing. “The best practice is to play music “ without doubt the dumbest thing I’ve read today. What a useless vague statement that seemed to be drummed up by some jealous non-disciplined clown
I love the drummer listening intently
3rds, 4ths, 5ths: "Meh."
6ths: "Now *this* is what I've been waiting for."
7ths: "Okay, now you're just showing off."
When OZ speaks, I was listening! 😂
Taking orders, you mean.

This is a real MASTER CLASS. You have to save it and watch it many times patiently.
I can't even chew my food with this perfection, despite its my daily routine fom more than 60 years 😢
It’s okay, we luv u ❤
This is golden. Plenty to deep dive. Thanks for the upload.
Sure opens a lot of musical doors,for you to explore,and extrapolate on,fretboard language
Those sequences are invaluable.
I love this seminar! Thanks for posting!
This guy is so unique.
You taught me how to teach myself in 10min
Thanks again Oz!
Oz is great!
This is great Stuff!! Thanks for sharing !
Top stuff! 👏👏👏
Thank You!
Sweet
It’s amazing how powerful and simple it really is. Just do what he says in this video and you’re a pro. Except it’s not that easy…
Hahaha that's what we have to learn of the masterclasses. All the lessons require a lot of work after they gave us the info. It is not magic, is not that easy, but with a lot of practice! It is possible.
With 10 hours a Day 😂
Yeah, it’s really not. In fact I would be so bold to say that it’s freaking hard as hell.
Just start playing
Very Nice:)

Oz noy must have picked up 'advancing guitarist' book a couple years ago ;)
Yep. There's a bit of good info out now, but that is the one book that can actually change one's world. Consider, especially, when it was published, late 80s I think. All you need is AG and a cassette recorder... lol

7:12 Drummers, when someone starts talking about music theory :D
Incredible 😂😂 you caught me!
What does he mean when he says “jumping”? Like when he says to jump the 6th?
the interval degree of the given scale. for example: C Major scale - C D E F G A B C - A is the 6th degree, E would be 3rd and so on
Bumblefoot help pls
Practice like this guy to sound like every college jazz guitar drop out in history.
Tune in, turn on, drop out.
the usual stuff but a lot to do and keep someone busy for years to come.
I love seeing all these great players but i find it really ironic that most records sold are by artists that now minimal theory and a few songwriter chords. Paul mcartney could be sat in this room and he just be as confused as everyone else.
McCartney definitely knew his theory

We are all autistic in our own special way.

are you serious? one must really be not dedicated to learning the guitar if they dont have the patience for something as basic as this.
Ching ching ching?
So just learn every note on the fretboard and every scale known to man and 40 years from now, you will be a beginner!! LOL.
That's the ugly truth. There is no shortcut (if you want to seriously advance beyond cowboy chord strumming).
Gee ...scary as.

I can’t validate your critique but the guy seems like a know-it-all.
lol so basically just take classical guitar lessons
Jazz or fusion lessons more like

@@rickacton7540 But can most classical players groove?

poor drummer.
Oz running it like a dictatorship.
This is nonsense. The best practice is to play music. Play songs. Most great guitarists are really awful teachers.
