Thanks for your kind words, and for the motivation!

Been watching your stuff for ages now. It's actually been really nice to see you slowly get so much more confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Awesome stuff. Keep it up :)

Thanks, Greg! I'm still somewhat awkward in front of the camera but I'm getting better at it for sure!

I felt like i was actually back in math class in high school because i didn't understand any of it 🤣, I'm not a real guitar player I'm just a simple 2 chord and 3 on a good day pop and skatepunk guy, i am better in drums but i enjoy watching Steve's videos for my son because he's the real guitarist 👍

Im new, how do you read that chord chart correctly?

[@zoid_berg1809]

What is that blue thing on the top of the guitar? Thanks for the videos by the way!!! I love math rock

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Hello. It's a fret wrap, it helps with unwanted harmonics, also, you can slide it on to the fret board to kill ringing open strings etc.

[@zoid_berg1809]

@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock wow thanks for the info!

[@jordanmichael2655]

is it possible to play these types of chords/riffs in starndard? Math rock sounds so pretty to me but I’d like to be able to use these chords/riffs in other genres and don’t wanna re learn in a new tuning :/

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Hey. Thanks for the question. You can play this sorta thing in standard too. It may be slightly more challenging, and/or you may not be able to get the same over all sound a different tuning can give, but achievable non the less.

[@omaraftab7131]

You definitely can, but it narrows down your options a lot. The downside of alternative tunings is that you can’t play a song everywhere, but it opens up a lot of new possibilities for songs

[@beagledude8875]

sick intro

[@lilmilos5176]

American / Football / etc… is just genius lmfaoo

[@KingBlonde]

Been playing guitar for 8 or so years, I can name the notes on the fretboard and essentially play anything that comes to mind, but this stuff boggles me, especially the note chart etc. I can somewhat hear the intervals but I just can't get there with this stuff. I've never tried other tunings, is this stuff possible in standard? If not I should really start experimenting with other tunings.
Thanks for your videos man :)

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Hey rachet. I'd say it's achievable in standard. May be more difficult in some cases, but it can be done. I've written midwest emo twinkly stuff in standard many times. In fact I play write in standard 99% of the time.

[@Koreyisadumbfuck]

does the website that help you with what notes to use have an app for pc or mobile?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

I don't think it has an app version. There's a contact on the page so you could inquire there. 👍

[@ickuck5830]

Check out free throw

[@kelton7839]

what website do you use to find the notes that fit

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Search for fretboard navigator :)

[@clovertaylor4143]

What guitar string gauge would you recommend?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

That would depend on the tuning. If you're tuning strings up, use a lighter guage for that string and the opposite when tuning down. There is a caculator out there for this but I can't find it! Haha

[@clovertaylor4143]

Let's Talk About Math Rock I'll hunt for it. Thanks!

[@anthonyc1515]

the guitar tuning database website doesn't work anymore. i was wondering if anyone had a good alternative to that

In the description. I'm only using my amp and reverb pedal in this video.

[@fabio.n4458]

great great content ! thx for all the input.
anyways, Im actually a drummer and I started playing the guitar simply to write some music. I have no real theory knowlege.... can someone explain to me which notes from the charts fit together ? so I can build my own chords? would be so appreciated. thx

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Thanks! :) I think you may find this useful :ruclips.net/video/eG-mAFt8hYg/видео.html
I cover the basics of making chords in it. Hope it helps!

[@fabio.n4458]

Let's Talk About Math Rock
thx for the link. my bad I forgot you actually did a vid. about this already.
Im still a little unsure about the notes I use. after you explain the basic triad (1,4,5) of C which should be C,F,G (right?!). you talk about making them more jazzy by adding the 7. is B the 7th? or is my starting point already wrong ?! lol
thank you so much for helping .

[@teamsuperminecraft]

Now how do you make twinkles riffs in standard tuning?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Haha. It's not as hard as you may think.

[@tkachenkotaras1]

same as in any other tuning

[@lukeseerden9856]

I don't know a whole lot about it but a capo helps

[@zacharystrebler9039]

just play in the cmajor key and throw in a 7th chord

[@ethansics9400]

Let's Talk About Math Rock
Use your left hand for the chord shapes and tap with your right hand. That’s one of many ways, but works well will the twinklier sounds

[@MyNameIsExclamation]

This may be a stupid question, but why does a non-standard tuning help in this?

[@hippyhobo6285]

Because this is an open tuning. With standard it's a bit harder to make chords like the ones shown in the video. It is possible to do it in standard tunings (I have a squire tuned UP half a step from E standard, so it's F A# D# G# C F for math rock). Open tunings just make it easier, especially if you have a capo.

Hey Laurie, I'd say that's one aspect of it. I'd say this video ties more into the emo/mathy side of math rock. Bands like TTNG, Tiny Moving Parts and so on. Love shellac btw.
