@@badfish41969 IKR! When we play together I just wanna listen. Like seriously! She has mastered (as Maestro Michael calls it) the hunt for the inside! I can only hope to get there someday!
I love the way she plays. It is so refreshing to see one play so soulfully in this modern soulless shred fests times we live in! I have been a subscriber to her for a while now. You can see the joy she feels with everything she plays. Great to see you cast some light on her. She deserves it greatly!
It amazes me of your mastery of theory and the ability on the fly to figure out in literal seconds what is happening within a song. Kudos to you brother. You are amazing 💪🏼🎸
Outstanding breakdown, Michael. I’ve been stalking your lessons for a while and this one really resonated as I’ve always loved this tune. Melody is indeed the key!
I have been subscribed to Helen's channel for a while now. she always chooses something uplifting to cover. I remember how excited she was to get that Tele' a few months back.
👋 Michael. Just taking time to compliment your style of playing, teaching and channel. I'm fairly new to your channel. Very impressive. You never stop learning. You teach the way I was first taught which seems like yesterday to me but it's been 48 years. Learned technics of playing. Just getting back to playing after major health issues. Music 🎶 as well as singing playing guitar 🎸 has literally retrained my motor skills and working with the memory and retrieving it for a few years. I'm finally getting where it's coming back to me with the help of you and many others. I look forward to your channel. Still learning everything I'm getting there. SRV was my favorite guitarist of all times as well as so many others. Just wanted to say thank you. You've helped and continue to help me. My brain is taking over now which is good. The doctors say I'm a miracle. I thank people I've been blessed with who continue to help. Music 🎶 I had that gift before and it is a healer in my life. Thank you Michael for your help. 😀
Michael much love. Fan. Must interject (one time) and note that this captures what music is truly about as opposed to theory. Expression!,Transcends the technics. And she definitely expressed in a way one can't not feel. Expression, in any form has no bounds or barriers. Truly Thanx for the lessons and reactions my bro. And ty for this vid.
Hammer the melody and grow from there. Fidlers have been doing this for centuries all over the world, it is what led to jazz. It's about building from the standards.
"...the third of the fifth is the leading tone of the root..." Wait, what? I get it... but I mean, suddenly I also get it that there are probably a hundred little axioms like that to help find one's way around the mystery of melody. This moment reminds me of being a kid in a barber's chair the first time I saw the mirrors in front of me and behind me line up into infinity. Man, I've dabbled at this for so long and felt like theory was inaccessible but the way you talk about it keeps knocking holes in that idea.
Check out Helen's rendition of session guitarist Louie Shelton's playing on Lionel Richie's 1984 song "Hello." She's so demonstrative it's a joy to watch her in action.
RUclips and the copywriters are gonna make it almost impossible to create musical content. It's ridiculous. Keep pushing on Mike hopefully something will change. Not sure how "Rumble" does their stuff but you should get a back up channel over there.
LEARNING THE MELODY!. . . AND listening to the wisdom and deep understanding that Michael is sharing with us all…..AND staying on the GUITARGATE lessons…so I can someday easily APPLY these lessons! Awesome stuff! Michael, I’d be interested in her right hand technique and use of looping pedal….if that’s somewhere in GuitarGate let me know
It’s been a lifelong dream to learn how to play the guitar. Can you teach a guy that’s lost his index finger on his left hand to a well placed 9mm? I love your style. You turn music in to science or math. It’s what I need. I need an equation.
Good lesson, Michael. Helen rocks. When I first learned the diatonic chord progression, this was the tune I chose to practice with. This tune includes the 7th chord in that progression, A#dim in this case; Heat Wave is another good tune to practice that progression with. I digress ...
Anyone here taken his course? I’ve played guitar for years but never really understood the instrument. I heard this before and it seems to fit me: I’ve learned to play songs on the guitar but I want to learn how to actually play the guitar. If you’ve taken his course do you feel it gets you to a place of understanding the instrument fully? I know it takes practice and dedication but I’ve struggled finding a source that puts the material in a logical way to truly learn the instrument. Thanks!
You can play it anyway you want to man , its what you prefer to sound and according to go throw the perfect tune , or you can play straight short cut , it depends on your own personal mode.
If you do reactions to bass videos, you should check out Kinga Glyk's cover of Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. I'm primarily a guitarist but it's such a beautiful cover.
Hallo sir, I've really learnt alot from these breakdowns. I have another request from another African lady guitarist. A short cover by ALEXANDER IVY- KWA SHANGWE guitar cover. Kindly break it down, will really appreciate.
I would like to share this with you. This is a crazy medley played by Bugs Henderson. He shows off a bunch here. He is playing an 84 PRS plugged straight into a Rivera amp which is cranked. He does everything with volume, tone, and toggle as far as tone manipulations. At the 5:43 mark he plays Yankee Doodle and Dixie at the same time. This album which is rare and hard to find is a must for guitar players. Its Bugs Henderson & The Shuffle Kings Guitarbazndrumz drive.google.com/file/d/0B3C0AO4wFpWDV3RXQlRXakEtR3c/view?usp=drivesdk&resourcekey=0-ZQzbEoGw4D2cv0a3NUxLkA

Yo your wife is a beast son
My pleasure brother! You’re fantastic, yourself. Godspeed and have a great trip :)

Wow! Thank you so much Michael!! Really appreciate this💕💕
Beautiful rendition!
Loved it .. beautiful style
You are a fantastic guitarist and wonderful person, Helen! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You’re very talented.
My pleasure! Keep it up!
Even the teacher couldn't play or explain a particular crazy stunt she made there. This lady is super talented. God bless you always
That young woman is "singing" through that guitar!! Her ability and technique with the guitar IS her voice!!
I love the way she plays. It is so refreshing to see one play so soulfully in this modern soulless shred fests times we live in! I have been a subscriber to her for a while now. You can see the joy she feels with everything she plays. Great to see you cast some light on her. She deserves it greatly!
Helen is my teacher 👩🏫 and I really love ❤️ her for her smile 😃
My favourite female Nigerian guitarist !! :-)
Thanks for doing this video. Bless you both. Also shout out to the dude that put you on to Helen.
Immediately left this video to watch the original. I'm back now though so hi 🙃
It amazes me of your mastery of theory and the ability on the fly to figure out in literal seconds what is happening within a song. Kudos to you brother. You are amazing 💪🏼🎸
You can tell IMMEDIATELY that shes feeling it. this gon be good
Thanks for highlighting Helen, she's a great guitarist.
Helen did a awesome job in one of Paul David's videos (5 guitarist loop over the same chords)! Been a fan ever since, nice video Michael!
Outstanding breakdown, Michael. I’ve been stalking your lessons for a while and this one really resonated as I’ve always loved this tune. Melody is indeed the key!
That’s it!! Thanks!
That was awesome, she totally killed it. I love how much joy comes through while she's playing.
I have been subscribed to Helen's channel for a while now. she always chooses something uplifting to cover.
I remember how excited she was to get that Tele' a few months back.
My name is Benorce Blackmon , I played the original “ Lean on me “ she a marvelous Player , and thank you for sharing .
My girl Helen is the bomb.

Helen is amazing, she did a great jam with Paul Davids, Mary Spender, etc. It's fantastic.
This young lady Helen I've had blended so nicely with her guitar. It's perfection

HELEN IS BLESSED.
Helen to the world!!!!!
I dig her, she seems like a cool chic and she plays beautifully
Helen Ibe masters her skills
I think it sounds better on guitar than the original recording on keys. Nice breakdown as always, thank you MP.
.....she doesn't know all that. But she plays it. That's what a miracle is 💞
Close friend and mentor Rick B!
This makes a lot of sense now
Ms. Ibe plays with such joy. It just oozes out of her. It even more compelling than her brilliant playing, IMO.
Watching you work these out shows me how little i know...........damn
Дуже дякую!!! Чудові прийоми гри , я в захваті, ви обоє дуже талановиті - супер !!!
I subscribe to Helen she is insanely amazing!
Great video Michael! Helen is one of my favorites.
Excellent breakdown. You nailed it, Michael. Thank you!
I love watching your reaction your body movements and face is priceless. Excellent
Your awesome
Wow! This is amazing
Love this. Thank you. 😘💥‼️
You are a good teacher dude
Excellent break down and insight…able to explain it so simply
"...the third of the fifth is the leading tone of the root..." Wait, what? I get it... but I mean, suddenly I also get it that there are probably a hundred little axioms like that to help find one's way around the mystery of melody.

Man, I've dabbled at this for so long and felt like theory was inaccessible but the way you talk about it keeps knocking holes in that idea.
Same. Music theory on guitar was always tricky for me, but the way Michael explains it just hits home for me
Love it!!
@@keiran110 Brilliantly said!
Love the barber chair comment. So well put. I’ll never forget that. Awesome.
Deftly dissected and explained. Nice work and thank you.
Check out Helen's rendition of session guitarist Louie Shelton's playing on Lionel Richie's 1984 song "Hello." She's so demonstrative it's a joy to watch her in action.
Very soulful! I can hear the Curtis Mayfield and Hendrix along with her own style. Beautiful
The melody of the song is what the old schoolers say is the meat and potatoes. Awesome break down of Helens tasty playing
You make this so understandable, nice work, nice video peace
Thankyou for this tutorial 😊❤
Helen probably said, "damn, even I didn't know I did all those things." Lol! Good job. 🤣
I love this, good job 👍
RUclips and the copywriters are gonna make it almost impossible to create musical content. It's ridiculous. Keep pushing on Mike hopefully something will change. Not sure how "Rumble" does their stuff but you should get a back up channel over there.
And there's one other trick she does that you forgot to mention: be beautiful and charismatic.
I Love Music :) You are Great. Thank you
Damn this oke is just amazing, so quick to pick up someone's keys. I just subscribed
Wow, I like her style!!!
Jon Bassin - Appalachian moon
Deceptively simple. Amazing tune.

You are my inspiration thank you

I love Helen’s channel.
He has no clue we’re too begin and she f played it like she owes it
The tone on that PRS!
you're good. she's good. subscribed
Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran 😁
You a legend 🔥🔥
You just gained a new subscriber 👍👍

Through @hellen, I now got a guitar teacher to help me improve my play.

Excellent lesson. Am your newest subscriber.
Awesome information Sir!!! Much appreciated :)
And yes: LEARN THE MELODY OF THE SONG!!!!!
Gotta do some between the buried and me, selkies the endless obsession! Or white walls! These guys are beast mode!!!
Wow
Sounds amazing!
Lucky dude.
Legend🔥🔥🔥
This guy is taking up where Micky Baker left off.
Love ur channel dude :)
Helen is a big deal ❤️
Close!!
Check out the band The Blue Stones. Especially their song "Be My Fire" or "Spirit." They have some great riffs that would be awesome to breakdown!
It's pronounced kinda like the website Ebay.
You can play it anyway you want to man , its what you prefer to sound and according to go throw the perfect tune , or you can play straight short cut , it depends on your own personal mode.
You should react to Saskatchewan in 1881 by Colter Wall. It's amazing
Your hair is bangin, my man.
I feel like I should be paying for this lesson.
That intro you played was fucking beautiful! Was it improv?
What color is that PRS? Looks super nice man
That girl is good.
It's now I'm seeing this I'll try your videos I want to be a good player. By the way I am a beginner

Hey do you give lessons online ?
That girl is good

If a genie leaps out of a bottle and grants me an entirely new lifetime, I am going to spend it trying to understand every word of this video.....
Is there a special reason why she's playing this tune in B? (Sorry for that slightly stupid question)
I'm gonna say she simply prefers to solo in that key.

It's pronounced as ibe as in (e-bay).
It is actually pronounced as E-bay and not ah-i-bee
