    Mr. Baker I want to thank you. I have taken your free Chops Builder course and purchased the Essential Sequences, and they have unlocked my playing in ways I never thought possible. I've been able to take some of the examples that you demonstrate and make up riffs using them for an example, and shift it to different keys. I've also been able to apply the techniques you show in minor pentatonic to the major pentatonic and immediately started figuring out riffs to songs that I never thought I knew, lol. If you had told me a month ago that I would be able to make up a guitar solo I would have told you that you were crazy, lol. Even though I'm really just starting to learn to solo I've actually been playing guitar off and on for about 35 years or so. I'm pretty good at following along and picking things up cause that's how I learned most of what I know, but I also LOVE how even in this video you break it down so even a beginner can grasp it. One of the best teachers out there hands down. You truly have me playing like I never thought possible. If anyone reading this is on the fence about taking any of Robert's courses, that probably means you NEED it.

    One of my favourite 'rock box' riffs is Goliath from Mars Volta. There's a bit of variation, yes, but that song is what actually keyed me in to this concept in the first place. 'Rock box' is a perfect name and I'm mad that I didn't think of it myself.

    Fun fact, the "Rock Box' was NOT the biggest take away for me, it was the explanation of using Power Chords as a rhythm and simple arpeggios over them as a lead.
    I feel like when I sit down with my Guitar tonight, I'm gonna be using loop pedal and REALLY practicing arpeggios and what type of chords go into a key!

    This is a great little trick and will open up all kinds of doors to you. Just a warning though, because I learned this early in my playing and used it extensively. But, I eventually found myself in a rut because I relied on it too much. I didn't vary it up enough. Just make sure you change up the order that you play the positions in or you might find yourself in the same place I was.
    Good luck and keep rockin'!

      Counter argument: Remember that the second best selling album of all time is Back in Black by AC/DC, the band that's made like 14 albums doing pretty much the exact same thing every song, so if you get stuck in the right place, it may very well work out for you! XD

    One thing I've found with 5th string powerchords - I sometimes barre the 6th and 5th strings (you probably know this tho :) ) makes the powerchords sound huge (I suppose you could call it Root, root, 5th 5th?)
    Excellent course by the way - really enjoying it

      To put it another way; If you're using the 5th string root, the barred 6th string is a 5th below, the 4th string two frets up is the 5th.

    I've been getting really comfortable with barre chords. One thing I've run into is that I'm just playing by what sounds nice, but when I start with a minor 1 chord I don't know what any of the other chords should be to sound nice 😅

    • @albertcollins2725
      @albertcollins2725 Год назад +5

      A good place to start playing in minor is to follow the same pattern as you would if you were playing in a major key, but using only minor chords. For the A minor key you would play A minor, D minor, and E minor chords. It is similar to playing in major since they are the 1, 4, and 5 chords of the key. The main chords of a major key are also the 1, 4, and 5 chords but they are all major chords.
      Roman numerals are often used to identify chords with uppercase numerals used for major chords and lowercase used for minor chords. What this means in a major key the 1, 4, and 5 chords are notated using Roman numerals of I, IV, and V. In a minor key the chords would notated using the Roman numerals i, iv, and v. I mention Roman numeral notation since you are likely to see it and when you do you should recognize whether the chords are major or minor.
      I would suggest beginning with the key of A minor since it has no sharps or flats making it easy to figure out what chords to try. The key of A minor has all of the same notes and chords that C major has. They are known as relative keys. What makes the difference is the focus on A minor, not C major. For the key of A minor the chords are A minor, B diminished, C major, D minor, E minor, F major, and G major. Once you get the pattern memorized move it around to try different keys. Another easy minor key is E minor, which has the main chords of E minor, A minor and B minor.
      You can put any combination of chords together to play a song. They don't have to be from the same key. Chords are "borrowed" from other keys all the time. You can change any chord from a song or chord progression you are familiar with to any other chord to see how it sounds. If you don't like it try something else.

    • @thoth_amon
      @thoth_amon Год назад +3

      your minor 1 chord is also a minor 6 chord of it's relative major key, so basically any chords for it's relative major also work, you can use a major or dominant 5 chord as well in minor, it's the harmonic minor sound used in classical style resolutions

    One simple thing that noone seems to talk about when it comes to classic riffs....far more simple than the harmoinc progression....just count how many of them are two bars long......simple but that seems to be the code....some are just repeated others are repeated with a variation however the simple block is the 2 bar phrase....usaully first bar is the question and the second bar is the answer.....
