Your way of teaching is very helpful! Since I started to watch your channel, my way of playin the guitar has changed a lot after a few moments of practicing what I learned with you. I really appreciate your knowledge being shared 👍🏼
I appreciate all of the valuable information you are passing along. I've got note cards through out my house that i can take notes on a regular so that i can retain the info better
Dude! I am trying to keep up. You know this stuff so innately. This is an excellent lesson. I just have to stay with it. Good short and impressive lesson.
Hey Kerry, did you think about setting up a Patreon? I appreciate you giving out all this knowledge here and I think some people would def give some support on there to say thanks! Patreon doesnt pay me for this :D I just thought it might be a good idea for your format! Keep it up, love the content
Hey Kerry, hope you good man. I really love your teachings Broo. You’re my mentor and have really inspired me throughout. I would to see you doing a tutorial for the intro of your videos, when they start, them intros are fire bro. Hope you see my message my bro.
Hi Kerry, good stuff. Question.. when you do those riffs (solo notes) can you do them slower and explain which fret and string you’re hitting as to learn the pattern? Thanks in advance!
I can use this. Thanks. I understand the Nashville Numbering System, but don’t have it memorized. Also recognize all these chords, but I’m not so familiar with them. Could use some help with the notes you add between the chords.
I'm just starting at KerrysKamp this week, but had a question. For the 5 and 1 are you still riffing on the 6 minor pentatonic or are you changing to root major or major pentatonic?
the 6 minor and the 1 major are the same scale just starting on a different note - so you can stay in the same position, but need to target the notes of the chord that is going on at the time. Same thing works with pentatonics
General question for Kerry or others -- Is there a simple way to figure out what key you're in? In some cases it seems clear, but in others - like when the "one" isn't in the progression - it can be hard to figure out. I wonder if I'm missing a devise or "trick" to find the key. Any help is appreciated. Also, love the videos! Has opened up my playing knowledge quite a bit. Thanks!
Yeah man here you go. If there are 2 major chords "in a row" in the progression, for example C major to D major, those are the 4 and the 5 respectively. This means key of G. There are 3 major chords in the key, but ONLY the 4 and 5 are "neighbors" like that. Additionally, if there are 2 minor chords a full tone apart or in a row as I said above, such as G minor and A minor, they will be your 2 and your 3. So that means F major is your key here. Again, there are three minor chords per key, but ONLY the 2 and 3 are "neighboring" minor chords. Apologies for the layman's terms but I hope people of all levels of theory knowledge understand what I'm trying to say here.
@@jschoma11 that is the golden nugget!!! Thank you. That type of information with practice turns into applied knowledge. Thanks again for answering that question using laymen’s term, such as “in a row”. Or back to back. Just cool.
You are playing the sound that I’m looking for however you’re not taking the time to explain. You’re moving too fast for a beginner. Is it possible to slow it down?
The 4 adds tension to the progression that makes you want to resolve back to the 2. Think of playing the 2-5-1 for the full length of the song, eventually it will get boring and you’re gonna want to add some “flavor”(tension) to help break up the monotonous progression. If you don’t feel comfortable playing the 4, you could also change up the strumming/picking/speed of the progression to give it some depth.
I want numerous not chords. I want talk ever languages. How can I take 12 bars n break them down to p piano and drums beats and keys on the piano in 12 bars is Will Fritz on the guitar the number system where can I find out how to learn speak every language with a guitar with the notes being the numbers and understanding what I am writing and pronouncing the words it's the keys equals numbers I want to get this down so I can learn everything about every instrument

What is the guitar tuned to

@@jschoma11 wow! How did i never think of that. Thank you so much. Never expected to learn something like this in the comment section

Wonder if his 2 sons play
Lol. Dude has got CHOPS
I much prefer the original fingerpicking style on the recording with the chromatic walk up. But this cool...
Hi Kerry, why u used 4 while u said your playing 2,5,1. What is the function of that 4.
Thank you
That’s the progression in the song that why I when you the 4
The 4 adds tension to the progression that makes you want to resolve back to the 2. Think of playing the 2-5-1 for the full length of the song, eventually it will get boring and you’re gonna want to add some “flavor”(tension) to help break up the monotonous progression.

Am I tripping but couldn’t that be used for great is your mercy
