    Rick said,”if you don’t know what to practice,that’s a problem” I can tell you from being self taught and learning the hard way as well as from teaching that should should practice those things you hate to practice! And I’m only half kidding. Of course you don’t want to end up hating practice,but I can guarantee that if you just practice willy nilly you will make little progress. Practice those things which don’t come easily for you.If you have ever heard someone play that is a self taught beginner you know that they play the same things over and over.They play what they know and what comes easily. You have to break that tendency and focus on a routine as if you have a teacher.Give yourself assignments and practice those until you can do them .Here is the most important thing: stop avoiding those things which you find difficult.

      This is the most useful tip for any intermediate player that's hit a "plateau". It's advice we all know but choose not to acknowledge all of the time because it means we're have to traverse uncomfortable ground.
      Great tip!

    Most of my soloing work over the years has been trying to get the right balance between variation and repetition, using different rhythms and dynamics, learning to take breaks and not overplay. Now I'm working more on note choice, targeting chord tones, and playing over more complex changes, and it's a headache, but slowly getting better. Your videos and the Beato Book has helped me a lot on the path already!

    Since finding your channel Ive picked up the guitar after not playing for a hundred years. Computers have made me lazy. LOL!
    When I was a kid I was the solo king. I had a great ear and could improvise over almost anything with all of the emotion and expression I could summon from within. After 20 years of not playing the guitar and writing only film scores, there was no improvising in my workflow ... hindering my ability to improvise. I have lost whatever I had that gave me the ability to solo. Videos like this one is helping me find what ever I had as an improviser when I was younger. A tremendous thank you

    @DaveZiffer 5 лет назад +10

    Rick: Thanks for the inspiration. I'm in the process of becoming your biggest fan here. IDEA: rather than use software, you can "comp" your own chord sequences using a loop station. Then you become proficient at comping as well, and this sort of practice may lead to your being able to accompany yourself live, with or without the loop station. Just a thought.

    Awesome lesson, @Rick Beato! I love iReal B and I also use Band-in-a-Box for creating my own backing tracks with samples of real players for jamming and coming up with solo ideas. The way you build on motifs and create logical phrases in here is very helpful for this kind of practice.

  • @AllanDawsonMuso
    @AllanDawsonMuso 5 лет назад +30

    Perhaps one of the luckiest accidents when I started playing the guitar - bearing in mind I had done a bit of Piano for a couple of years, so I had a loose idea of key theory - but coming to the guitar I felt that had all been a bit boring for me, so I wanted to throw myself in at the deep end... so what I decided to do, without any real guidance form anyone, was to just put the radio on and try to play along. I'm sure it sounded horrible for the first few months, but eventually something just clicked, and my fingers just knew where to be. This was what started me off as an improvisational guitarist, up to that point I hadn't really converted any of my theory knowledge from Piano to Guitar, so that came laster, but my fingers... they knew what they were doing! Seems this app you're recommending is a nice alternative :-)

    • @Nipsu_uspiN
      @Nipsu_uspiN 5 лет назад +5

      I have a simular background. First I learned how to play alomg by ear and my fingers just did the thing they were supposed to. Not perfectly ofcourse. Even nowadays I rely more on my ear and fingers even though I'm at a decent level on theory.

    • @williamhogge5549
      @williamhogge5549 5 лет назад +4

      Students often don't realize the importance of both listening and playing along. Charlie Parker, John Coltrane..., all the greats played along to records, it's just how its done.

    @marvinshenk 5 лет назад

    @15 min, that was the type of thing I was playing earlier today. It started as me playing hammer ons to get warmed up, then I came up with a pattern that cycled from the A string down to the B string using half step hammer ons that sounded cool. The guitar is endless when it comes to ideas. I'm ok on guitar, but I can't play super fast string changing solos, so I alway try to come up with odd stuff and a lot of chromatic playing, and lines using octaves.

  • @DeGuerre
    @DeGuerre 5 лет назад +1

    Just as a matter of history, "motive" was the original word used in music theory jargon to translate the German word "Motiv". All textbooks before the 60s (including Schoenberg's "Fundamentals of Music Composition", which is a must read) used that word. "Motif" is correct, of course, but it's more recent.

    It’s fun and easy to practice things you already know really well. That doesn’t inch you forward to being a better player unless you practice things your not good at playing. But that’s not fun and can be frustrating. This video should be retitled to “watch Rick practice and tell us what he is playing is very difficult” lol. His hair looks particularly very well today!

    what would you say is the definitive way to learn scale patterns/positions? i know how to spell major, harmonic minor, and melodic minor scales when away from the guitar, but i'm confused with the many ways that scales are laid out. my instructor says that i should learn the caged positions as well as three note per string scale positions, but i feel as if there should be one way that's the definitive way to learn scales.

  • @billsybainbridge3362
    @billsybainbridge3362 5 лет назад +12

    Perfect advice (12:20) - the "Formatic" structure of phrasing, just like in spoken language, needs a phrase: "I like cats", then a sentence: "I like cats because they are warm and fuzzy", then a paragraph (a verse or chorus), then a chapter (the finished song), then a novel (an album). The cool thing, as "call and response" allows interplay between two ideas, you can use humor for contrast, as in "I like cats>>without their fleas>>I like cats>>they make me sneeze", and extend the initial two-part Formatic with variations that add, exchange, or recapitulate with modification on the basic binary structure. Binary is important to structure because human beings primarily feel rhythms in twos. Yes, there are other "counts" of rhythm, but "Binary is Primary".

      i could hear out "without the fleas" and "they make me sneeze" as note bends and this whole explanation became much more clearer and interesting. good stuff.

    Gabor Szabo? I suppose him and Carlos Santana are just very "jazzy"? (So "it's the other way round").
    Interesting thing I've found since discovering that it's more fun to get to know your way round scales by playing over a backing track (and hopping around, chucking in passing tones, and spicing it all up with wrong notes) is how the accompaniment determines/ constrains the "song" that emerges. I suppose there are a few possible songs, but that bass, rhythm, drums narrows down the possibities quite a lot.
    (I suppose the bigger constraint in my case is having less scales etc available inside the head bone, but it does remind me of Adam Neelly saying something about how he liked being on the bass, because this put him in charge of what everyone would be playing next, so even a master has to somewhat stay on the rails, once they've been laid down.)
