As a classical music major from the 70's, this video put a smile on my face. Some great ideas for the guitar folks.
I was a wind instrument guy, but still dabble in writing songs with the guitar.
Nice insights, or should I say "hacks" nowadays.☺
😏
god damn this channel is a gem
Thanks for that!!😎
Brilliant videp thank you for all your effort and time ❤️
My pleasure and thanks so much for watching and for the comment!!
I’ve stopped about halfway through as there are so many good ideas here that they need unpacking. Also realised that , by your ranking, I’m not much more advanced than your “basic”level despite years of playing - and loads of chord subs!
Yeah, it's kind of arbitrary! I actually I was thinking of saying the levels were more like 'safe -> crazy' or something, so no offence! And thanks for the comment and for watching - appreciate it!
@@joyofguitar888 Ha ha! None taken! Very informative video. I’ve started looking at some of your other videos, based on this one. Thank you for sharing this information.
Well done, this is perfect for my beginner campfire guitarist.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and really happy if it helps!
I'm a huge fan of the Meta style.
Particularly when primarily playing lead, simple accents and underscoring the rhythm players chords keeps the mix clean and dynamic.
Yeah it doesn’t need to be lots of notes to have whatever kinds of colours you want to add (or take out), and then easier to mix and probably sounds better with effects etc.
amazing video
Thanks so much! Means a lot!
Merci.
Du rien!
I did a number of community theater gigs and there are slash chords all over the place. Many times they just don’t sound that good on guitar due to it’s limited range, they are often far too difficult to play reasonably and even more often would sound better voiced on the piano or have the bass cover the low end. Imo slash chords have limited use on guitar and are better served having other instruments cover them
That being said, this was prob the case for this situation because a pianist was prob writing the music, a guitar player prob would have written slash chords that actually sound good on guitar
Exactly! It probably often sounds better if we don’t just double what the bass player is playing anyway! And then for solo guitar they can be great, but there’s only certain ones that you can sort of reach and that still sound good with what’s available, so if it’s in a ‘good’ guitar key then there’s prolly more good sounding slash chords available, but when you’re reading from a lead sheet it’s often way harder to deal with… and if I was the bass player I’d be like “just let me play my part and you do your own thing!”…
@@joyofguitar888 i had like three situations that popped in my head while reading your reply, but i'll just leave it at: slash chords are complicated for guitar, they have their time and place but you should default to leaving it to other instruments
i don't think i have read a post that was so close to my own thoughts on such an obscure subject
Background filler loops are TOO LOUD because they obscure your words.
Hey! Thanks for taking the time and I really appreciate the advice!
I agree that they're a little loud in places but I can still hear every word.
Great video btw. Very useful.
What’s with all that noise in the background? Hard to hear the talk, with that soundtrack. Correction, impossible to listen. Too bad, because the idea of the video is good. Too ANNOYING to continue.
Okay sorry about that, weirdly this is by far my best performing video yet! But I'm just starting out, and I'm not really that good at making videos, appreciate the advice.
I agree. Had to stop. I hope he redoes this video and boosts the voice. It's really worthwhile stuff and done at a good pace also.
