The lessons I learned from Tim Miller in the Berklee Online course that he taught had a wonderful positive impact on my music-learning journey and he truly is a special and inspiring teacher. Of course, he also happens to be one of the most creative, expressive, melodic, and innovative guitarists out there, too. I really hope more people get the chance to hear Tim play. Pure gold!
Best guitar instruction on youtube. Period. I'm old. I've seen all the things. This guy's stuff is the best. Remarkable combo of concision and applicability.
I'm honored to have been your student at Berklee Online. I'll be learning from your lessons for years to come! This one is a perfect example of how great a teacher you are. And, of course, your music is even greater! Thanks!
I listened to the three Trio records & Synergy Over the last couple of nights here in Essex England... The summer is hot, windows wide open, youngsters asking me...who is this? I say Tim Miller.... These records have such a classic sound, if you read this Tim, it's real! Best wishes to you & all 😊
Tim just love all your videos! You pass the knowledge is such a smart and compact way. In such a short video you include such a great amount of wisdom. Now I have practice material for months 🤣
I just discovered this video on my TV RUclips -- I've never seen your videos before, and this one is FANTASTIC -- I've subscribed, and will go through all of your videos. I have played guitar for a long time, and thought I knew a lot of chords, but I've never played a M#9 before -- that one is really interesting. Amazing stuff! I'm a modular synth designer and builder, and I just built a 16-step sequencer and a quantizer that can play all of the modes of major, melodic minor, harmonic major and harmonic minor, so I'm going to set my quantized sequencer onto a random sequence within the modes and play the chords over that in various inversions (just as soon as I work out what these inversions look like on the fretboard).
AND it will show me... how much I SUCK! okay, well, I know what this stuff is but remembering it and then learning the scales that are not one of the big 3... this takes some serious dedication. I think this is kind of how HOLDSWORTH would do chords. Find chords most mortal guitarists would never think of and actually play them in some sensible context that made music. 2:55 I recognize that chord from Steve Vai's tune Bledsoe Bluvd. The first chord is that. It's so mysterious sounding. Nice vid. Very clear explanations.
don't be hard on yourself. relax and enjoy making music, the more you do it the better you will get. being hard on yourself is the same as indulging in frustration. nobody is a genius guitarist when they start. hell, allan holdsworth sucked towards the end. he personally apologized to me for one of his solos. so get into the music. not yourself. banging up on yourself means that you're more focused on yourself, than on the music. i hung out with allan three times and founded his official facebook group, it;'s a mistake to worship him. he'd be the first to tell you that. he was a very humble down to earth man. i met him when i was seventeen and was so impressed that i stopped worshiping him, and all celebrities and all important people. that's the takeaway someone like allan should give you. allan hated his own playing. don't be like that. relax and enjoy,, and let go. that's when the fun and wild stuff happens. i used to indulge in frustration, relaxing and letting go is the most fun, it's better than any drug, and i say that as someone who has taken tons of the best drugs...
@@jimmythebold589 Yes, it's hard sometimes for me to just dabble freely w/o judging it too soon. I think many musicians or artists in general are sometimes quite hard on themselves or critical of what they've done but maybe they are mostly satisfied. Thanks for the encouragement.
Does anyone know if all these chords are on the same key? It sounds like he might be playing modaly, shifting keys based on the chords being played, but I don’t know enough about this style.
Fantastic sound but… when will you encounter songs made of progressions of just major chords? The best improvisation exercise is to practice over the chord progression of an actual song, a real piece of music.
I recommend both. This is a modal color exercise. There are dozens of lessons on timmillermusiclessons.com dealing with chord progressions and song forms.
I don't ever encounter songs that specifically do this thing, HOWEVER: I have on countless occasions been presented w drum groove and bass pedal note while I'm asked to improvise on top. And this could tastefully apply to any situation like that. Totally practicing this today. Great lesson, Tim 💪🙌
You suggested that you have students in this video. I don’t understand. Why would anyone pay for lessons when you give so many lessons for free? So much stuff that you could spend so much time on it. Lots of guitars do that never made much sense to me but people love free. And while it’s absolutely not the same as studying with the teacher, there are endless amounts of lessons available by tons of musicians. I just don’t understand it.
Brilliant!! Thanks Tim, I hope you're doing well!
Thanks Shawn!

Mind opening. Like Holdsworth said “Tim is great.”
Thanks!
Agreed.

Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑
I love the non-functional, color-based approach to this.
Thanks for the comment!
Rock on
I allow the commercials to run while I read the comments.
I hope this helps!
what is this guitar? it's just beautiful.❤
Very nice
Thank you!
Wow, is there more of this on your website?
Yes, there are about 500 videos currently on the website.
Do berklee students have to be able to do all this to graduate?
No, this is just a nice thing that I like do/teach
Show sensacional
Thanks so much

They all have the same C bass note
@@TimMillerGuitar Thank you!
video volume is very low
