Thanks, Blue. Great idearrrs. I've been fortunate, i can always hear the chord changes. And i don't need to "play licks," cuz i always have a catchy melody running in my head. I do practice playing lick, however, because it trains my fingers to do whatever manipulations i might need to play those catchy melodies! Good stuff, tho, as always! 👍 👌
It's night time here and I'm kind a tired. I will be doing just this tomorrow after breakfast. but I'll probably be doing tonight while dreaming too....😌 Thanks for another epic video
The IV to I change in America’s 70’s classic “Ventura Highway” is so beautiful. G6 to DMaj7, simple chord extensions that are so harmonically rich as a pair. But wait, in your world the Major Scale doesn’t exist!
@@jeffro.For whatever reason this particular guitar teacher considers learning the Major Scale to be a complete waste of time! How then does he expect a guitar student to fully develop his/her knowledge of intervals, and more to the point hear them! He gives his reasoning for not doing so on a recent upload to his channel. He’s free to teach whatever he wants on RUclips, but simply casting aside the Major Scale is ridiculous in my opinion.
@@jonjenkins5253 I never said I don't teach the Major Scale at all. I just don't teach it until students are very good at all the pentatonic shapes. And even then, they still might not really need the Major Scale depending on the music they want to play and how far they want to go with guitar. My aim is always to get the student to reach their goal of playing the music THEY want to play as soon as possible. And in the 15 years I've been teaching, that music is almost exclusively pentatonic. So I focus on what the students want to learn. That's just my way of doing it. Respectfully, different teachers have different approaches.
So if I have "I-IV-V-I" progression of a major scale I'd be playing three different major scales (as per chord) if wished so, however for the" I" chord I can play either minor or major scales (prefereably switch minor/major when the "I" chord returns). am I right? Thanks
That works yes, though keep in mind if you use the minor pentatonic it gives you the blues and blues-rock sound. Which is cool, but it might not work for just any song/genre :)
Some songs shange the key though Those are especially tricky for me Once I was jamming 1st time on Darkest of my days by Big Wolf Band Didn't know chords just found out it's in Am So in the middle was a shift from Am to Cm n I was like whoa whoa wait a sec What's going on 😂
Hi mate...I just found your site and subscribed as I like the way you explain things, but your distorted tone in this video isn't very nice to listen too....Sounds like you have a speaker problem...

Simple in theory but a great way to present it. Thanks again Blue.

Nice! That's such a great skill to have to be able to hear the changes. Thanks for watching!

Ventura highway is a great song for sure :)
Say, what?
"In your world...no Major scale?"
Hmmm. Don't get it.

Key changes are challenging but you could adapt this same exercise to practice the key change :)
Your RUclips video is Great and the videos content is Amazing 🎉👏Your video has some problems.

Thank you. No speaker problems. In fact no speaker. It's the UA Dream 65.
