This is some good stuff. I always feel like I’m playing the same thing over and over (which I kind of am 😂). This will help. Thanks Steve. And those Dusty Waring’s are pretty sharp. All the colors are rad, but I’m partial to the black like yours and that killer reddish-black finish
Question: are you starting your slide off the root note when heading to the new position or sliding into a root note in the next position or just sliding from a random note to the next note and then working to the root?
Hi thanks for commenting. The point is really to move from one position to the next or to the previous one on the same string. So you can really slide to and from any note as long as it's a note of the scale. Usually it's the note right before of after the target note. If you are sliding into the root you would start from the previous note which is the b7 of the scale. For example from G to A if we are in A minor. A being the root and G being the b7. Remember that A pentatonic minor is A - C - D - E and G and the intervals in reference to the root are Root - b3 - 4 - 5 and b7. If you slide into the root from a higher position it would be from the b3 to the Root (C to A). Hope this helps and answers your question.
Hi Steve, I know you have a million things going on. I'm 60 years old and played guitar forever. I had wrists injuries that have prevented me from playing for about 6-7 years. I recently purchased a Strat, and I've never played one before. For some reason, I have to strain my wrist to play the fret board, especially Barre chords. I thought it would be less strain. Any advice?
I would suggest starting out with barring the first 2 strings and playing just the top part of the barre chord. For example, a 6th string major barre chord in A is this shape 577655, here you have to barre the 5th fret from the 6th string to the 1st but you can try playing this chord starting from string 4 so you would have XX7655 and only have to barre the top 2 strings. Then you can move to chords that barre the top 3 strings like for example the first chord in Stairway to Heaven which is an Am starting on string 4 (XX7555), for this chord we only barre the top 3 strings. This might help to start playing barre chords. The other thing that's really important is having the guitar set up properly, the string height is one of the things you might want to check. If the strings are too high this will build unwanted tension because we need to press harder to make the barre. Hope this helps and let me know if it works out for you.
@@stinemusiclessons nice, thank you. I'll work on these exercises for sure. I've also learned to relieve the wrist pain was a simple fix of lifting the damn neck up higher. Got most barre cords down, working on remembering scales now up and down the neck. Thank you so much for taking the time for such detailed guidance.
Steve, as always, thanks. Nothing I didn't know but, something I always forget (to be creative) .....thanks Drew.
Another master class. Nice guitar 🤤🤤🤤. I watched this video again, apart from your live broadcast. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I will have to check this out later, Thank you, Steve.
Great lesson, Steve!
Very nice melodic freedom points 😊
Thank you steve❤
