    Hi David. Loved this lesson. I was one of your students at the Rocky Mountain Guitar Camp last year. What a great experience.... Have to say this lesson is amazing...I play standards for Hospice patients, and the idea of doing them in C (with or without a capo) is a light bulb moment....makes it all so much easier and approachable. 5 stars for this lesson my friend..Thank you!!

    Damping the bass is what makes this guy so compelling.

    Amazing, I love Georgia. Always played a simpler version but now I can spice it up a little. Thanks a lot David. We all learn so much from you!

    I had to learn standards (“The Great American Songbook”) for an acoustic duo. I realized that like any form of popular music, these timeless songs often have common chord progressions-not in the same keys, but the same progressions. Lots of 1-6-2-5, 1-3-6-5, etc. Knowing your chords is a big help. If you know the “Nashville” numbering system, which is now standard for most everyone, you’re good to go.

    This is great!! I’ve been playing standards and trying to learn theory for years. This lesson was a huge breakthrough for me in understanding how these things are put together. Brilliant!!! Thank you so much.

    First time I’ve been on your site. Good lesson. I like the idea of modulating to C Major! I do have a question though. Why didn’t you set out the chord progressions in tab. That really helps guitar students incorporate a lesson. If you can do that, I’m sure that would be appreciated by many people. Cheers.

    Good lesson David. One of your better ones IMHO. Found this at a stage in my playing where it was just what I needed. Thanks for the solid content.

    Good example and simple explanation of the 5 of 5 In the context of a song I know. Your teaching is right about at my level. Thanks.

    Great lesson! So helpful. I love this song but it always defeated me when I tried to work from the piano transcription. The tip about any chord in the key being linked to its 5th is great -- maybe someone put it this way to me before but if so I don't remember. Just really useful in so many ways.

    What's a great exercise in negative space, tension, and restraint for me is playing any fairly straightforward tune in the most basic way with no embellishments other than the playing itself...no bends but there's no rule against finger tone...I attempt to play perfectly without ornamentation as many times through as I can stand without cracking...it won't be perfect but perfect in this case is perfectly accompanied not perfectly played so perfect in this context is attainable (for a bit). Work on dynamics, pluck approaches, etc and dial in your right hand - if you can keep your right hand behaving well, when you miss a grab here and there the percussive part will carry you through even if you mute because you know it's a bad grab. :-)
    fake it till ya make it lol

    Is the 'Monster Mash' considered a standard? Because that's actually a very scary song.
    It has wolfmans, vampires and mummy men.

    Ok then. I'm a gonna watch this several more times but in the meantime, may I borrow that line "safe as milk"? I would like to start using it, with your permission, or course.

    I know about the chords and the song (of course!) its the right hand work that thwarts me usually. Keeping the picking accurate. I never seem to have the discipline and always wonder off! some people just never learn...ha! v. cool and thanks.

    Might standards be more difficult to play on the guitar because they were originally composed on/for piano? I've long noticed that standards often contain chord changes almost for every syllable of the melody, which can be a challenge, especially for singing while playing.

    • @josephballerini3730
      @josephballerini3730 2 месяца назад

      Same for Christmas carols. My experience is you don't have to play every chord change or sometimes just playing a bass note works.
