Sean, I wish I have you as a guitar lesson teacher. I love the way you teach. Thank you and I still have a lot of questions. I can't play guitar yet, but try to understand the theory of it. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, Sean 🙏 Good lesson and insights, and it makes sense. I learned how to play guitar and bass at the same time- I'd learn the rhythm guitar part, then turn around and learn the bass part. When I was looking at getting into bands, I realized it was a lot easier to get gigs as a bassist, and there was a lot more freedom to move around on stage. Be good to you ✌
This is one of the most practical and useful lessons I've had in a long time. I've been incorporating this, or just taking a few minutes to think about the tones for a couple of weeks now, and it's really opened up the way I understand the fretboard. Kind of a Eureka lesson. Awesome, and thank you!
Good lesson. I was thinking of a couple of other benefits during the video. Seems like a more practical way to learn the fretboard than rote memorization, which never worked for me. And it's a good way to explore relative major & minor. I didn't really get what to do with rel maj & min while watching your recent video on the concept but I think a good place to start is probably just by noodling between C and A minor in the way you showed. I'll let my fingers do the walking, follow my ear and see whether I get a lightbulb moment. Thanks.
Love these kind of exercises. My biggest problem is keeping the rhythm and time when I play the licks. I recently started using the Food Rhythm Guide to help and for me it does. I recognized one of the 1st licks you played as aHot Dog, Apple Pie, for example! Thanks for posting this.
I really enjoyed that.. I had to go to a web page to view the notes of a fret board yes but i could see the notes and their relationship to the others.. Your good Sean..
I was on tour paired with another band that was not doing well with the pressures of the road - all at each other's throats - and on stage halfway through a set the lead singer/guitarist, in total exasperation, said into the mic: WTF, YOU ONLY HAVE 4 STRINGS TO PLAY AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. There were no fists thrown but that band lasted about 2 weeks more. Which sucked, because they were one of the best sounding bands I've ever heard live. Did the most perfect version of QOTSA Songs for the Deaf. That bass player was fantastic, too.
Share a tale from 70s, when I was young(er). Friend wanted a guitar and none of us had money. Took eight of us to get enough together to buy a cheap electric guitar and we managed a Fender Tweed (it was actually cheaper than others back then) with help from his uncle. He's got two early Marshalls and two Peavy set ups with it today, and an Alamo he uses at home. Does ALL the electronics himself when they've needed to be rebuilt. Plays with four bands, local and regional mostly, and occasionally festivals or fairs. He's never had a full time job, been making it gigging since late 70s and studio playing. Can't read a note. Couldn't tell you except rarely what chord, set, or progression he's playing. However, he hears a track twice or three times, knows which guitar (has 8 he travels with) and amp set up he wants and plays it. WTH? Right. Oh, btw, bass players can play faster, 😉, don't want them and drummers conspiring during a solo or debuting an original; rhythms can be sped up, LoL ✌️ Mahe Ohna ✌️ Favour ALL
I go up and down scale tones using two strings and two simple shapes. usually two strings that are not next to each other, ie; the E and G strings. or the A and G, or the D and E. Two* easy shapes that have a pattern going up and down the neck for whatever key you`re in. *okay three shapes for that diminished chord.
hey can you run thru how you wrote your first songs. ya know without all the tech maybe, maybe an old school pencil and paper arrangement .. please. thank ya kindly.
It goes the first, the fourth, the fifth, the minor falls and the major lifts, the baffled king composes hallelujah. Leonard Cohen. Most popular songs are 1, 4, 5 with a 6 minor and a 2 in the bridge. You could just expand, or not, from that. Good luck!! Best wishes, 8) --gary
Dude, watch the bass player jokes, remember most of us have FOUR strings to keep up with, guitar players ONLY HAVE 6..... Great vid as usual......I aspire to call myself a guitar player one day.
I don't find it particularly useful to call a note by its name, but rather I find it much more useful to call a note by its interval relation to the key. So it's not C, D, E - it's 1, 2, 3. Then I can change the key to D and still play the 1, 2, 3 and so on. Is there a reason you don't do that? Is there some wall I'm going to hit by doing that?
Why do guitarists who know music theory feel like they have to apologize and play down theory to other guitarists? It’s like real guitarists shouldn’t know theory it gets in the way of playing by ear. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Next time you’re teaching theory don’t sound like you’re apologizing 😂😂😂
Sean, I wish I have you as a guitar lesson teacher. I love the way you teach. Thank you and I still have a lot of questions. I can't play guitar yet, but try to understand the theory of it. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for saying so! I'll keep the videos coming!
Thank you, Sean 🙏

Excellent - thanks - perfect timing for my progress
Happy to hear it!
It's definitely one of the most useful video Sean has made. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

You're the best Joe!

@@seandaniel23 It's your world Sean, I just enjoy hangin out. I know you play bass too.
One can't dispute the math.
