@@PunkGuitarlesson Oh definitely. My quote was from a pretty good Mountain Goats song called "I Always Thought You Were Cool". Just a D to a Bm to an Em to a G. (Edit) might be an A instead of Bm, been a while since I listened to their stuff.
@@PunkGuitarlesson Yep. I mean I eventually looked into theory but it's more the why than the how. Artists have a tendency to pursue perfection and then lose themselves in it. Talent is key but so is knowing when to put the paintbrush down and stop taking oneself so seriously.
Talent doesn't matter, theory doesn't matter, it is all feel. That's what music is wether it is classical, folk, or anything else it is emotion and energy. Style is what you do wrong, and style is what makes you stand out and prove out was made by a human. That is the way I see it. People want to be knowledgeable as possible when knowledge doesn't make what you do any better in a way that connectsto people. What do I know though I have only been playing music for 24 years, playing shows off and on for that long, have seen what emotional connection with little knowledge does, have got oppertunitys without know hire to dip anything but strum at the time. Being technical should never get inn the way of being honest. I know trayis a long winded easy of saying you are right. I just made it long incase someone new to the instrument comes across this and decides to read it.
This video was very helpful the way you simply explained what you were playing by plucking the top string then strumming then hitting the two bottom strings opened my mind to how simple this can really be Thankyou
That doesn't surprise me at all. Never been into the dead but I have known plenty of people who are and even though Garcia could play for real sometimes he went super simple to which is cool.
@@DustyNonya yeah I’m mainly talking about most of the jam sections in dark star, fire on the mountain, cold rain and snow, the other one, bird song, eyes of the world, Bertha… etc
I love the Gretsch, the Jim Dandy line are actually decent guitars. Your words are correct, also. Id be interested in hearing complete works...
Thanks Jeff. I had a dirty 30's at one point, I like parlor guitars as far as acoustic
thats almost as punk as it gets, love it 🙏🔥
Thanks. Just trying to show you can do a lot with a very little
Hell yea simplicity is effective shit
Thanks. Just want to show people they can do a lot with a very little
Love that you're rocking the budget friendly Jim Dandy. Music gor the masses. D.I.Y. till I die.
I don't drop a lot of money on instruments honestly. I realized price doesn't. Necessarily make something good
Thankya for your insight an creativity man!
Not a problem. Just trying to show our is easier than people think.
"These are the same four chords I use most of the time" - Mountain Goats
This dude: Hold My Beer 😎
A lot of bands use 4 chords, there are also a lot that use 3 but I aim still surprised how many songs that use just 2.

Exactly. Not a lot is needed to get going and get shit done. You don't need music theory or anything like that

Not a problem. People like to overt complicate playing. I know I did for almost 2 decades. Glad it helps.
A tuner really does help though.
I’m really not trying to be a jerk.
Being out of tune is just super easy to do.
Or was got as shit when I recorded it. The thing couldn't stay in tune especially with that humidity
John Petrucci wheb he still hasnt taken his morning coffee
Haha nice. I haven't heard tray one before. Caught me off guard.
Thanks for the ideas 💡
Not a problem.Glad it is useful.
a lot of nirvana songs are only a few chords too!
Net been a nirvana fam but that makes sense
@@PunkGuitarlesson yup and they made some of the most influential music ever
They have. Not for me but for a hell of a lot of people they are. It just shows what can be done with little.
I Melt With You is just F and C for the entire song, except for the short bridge
I do not know that song but will take your word for it.
Like 20+ dead songs only use 2 chords
That doesn't surprise me at all. Never been into the dead but I have known plenty of people who are and even though Garcia could play for real sometimes he went super simple to which is cool.
Garcia was a guitar protoge who’s solos and technically adversity’s challenge even the best guitarist out there
I aim not a dead fan, you are right though here could pally play .
But not Althea 😈
