This is like an entire method book packed into one video! I recently took a Wernick class to get started playing with others, and this video has really filled in the gaps of what I need to work on to continue making progress. Thanks!
So glad you connected with it! and es you are so right! So many great Christmas melodies on so many of our internal hard drives! Very welcome! Thanks for the kindness :)
Another Great Lesson Mr. Christopher Henry. Thank you for making the lesson simple enough, even I can understand! Hope I'm not being arrogant. If I can add three more points: Introductions, Kickoffs or taters leading into a Song or Tune. Being able to switch between playing backup and playing lead . Then lead into backup. Lastly, work up how you end your song or tune. Hope I didn't overstep your goodwill thanks Chris
You are so welcome, Mr. Cosmos! Yes, everything you mentioned is so important for incorporating into practice in Pillar 2 and Pillar 3. I would like to make videos to help folks understand all those crucial skills more. I am aiming for one new video here a week. :)
But perhaps more to your question, I have spent a lot of time picking stuff out on guitar, internal and external repertoire and the grunt work, so yes all this can be important guitar work also in the same way.
Thank you Christopher appreciate your help. I'm sell taught on guitar and mandolin. In fact I began my mandolin journey using your Mom's Beginner Mandolin CD. Question for you? When I hear your Mom play at the beginning of the lesson, it sounds all full and wonderful. But when I play the songs like she teaches them it all sound like individual notes. Is there a technique that happens after you play all of these melodies it begins to sound fuller? Thank you again.
Chris, can you explain why you prefer your students count the metronome as 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and vs. 1 2 3 4? What advantages do you find? Thank you for the video! Practicing staggered arpeggios every day to the metronome. I reluctantly finally embraced the 'nome!
Good question - there are a few different reasons, and if I have the right moment I would like to explain more thoroughly, but the short answer is that i find where one pats the foot (the strong beat where the bass plays) to me is the one that is the most helpful to count as a number (and quarter note). It’s the big/strong beat, and to me the one which to orient the count. Perhaps second most important reason to me is that to me counting melodies with sixteenth notes is much more musical (tonally/aesthetically) than with eighth notes.

Another video worthy of bumping.

so glad to hear you connected with the flow! :D thanks for the kind comments
So helpful for focusing practice sessions; seasonally speaking, Christmas carols are great sources of "internal repertoire!" Thanks Christopher!

Thank you very much!!
But before we do that...

@@ChrisHenryVideos Do you warmup and practice this way with the guitar too? Thank you.
@@millerjeff I have spend a lot of time doing folded scales on guitar!

Chris,does that mean that once I learn those songs like that,then it would be easier for me to play blue night
That is exactly the idea!
