Ty so much! Been wanting to learn this for awhile.
Great to hear, good luck!
Have another what point? I'm not able to understand what you're saying 😢
Kudos point 👍
@CarringtonGuitarAcademy Thank you ❤️🎸
I’m not motivated to play tho I don’t know what to do😢
Find videos of guitarists who inspire you, this can help 🎸
As a guitar player of 34 years Jeff song made me tear up , especially at the part that he says, " it's you that's holding me." The guitar has got me through many struggles in my life.. .it's why I'm still here.
That's very touching, the guitar is a great source of comfort. Wishing you all the best 🙂
Is that really how you pronounce Kudos in England? In the US, we use the term a lot and pronounce it KOO-doze. I just kept hearing queue doss points.
😅Yes we do pronounce it that way. Quite different to the US version - tomaytoes, tomaartoes... same kind of thing.
Kudos to you for getting choked up at the end (then trying to hide it), as do I every time I hear Jeff sing this song.
Thank you 💪🏻
Theory is the reading, writing and arithmetic of music. It is the foundation of musicianship. I can improvise the language and spout out a poem, but to write anything down so others can perform, I need theory. It is taking the car to bits; understanding how it works so I can do everything. It is the foundation of being a complete musician, beyond being a player. A driver can drive. A mechanic can fix, but not necessarily drive. A car designer knows everything, but may be a terrible driver. The complete car expert knows and can do everything. My opinion as a musician.
I agree with what you say. One doesn't need to know the depths of music theory just to play. However, if someone truly wants to truly understand music at it's deepest level, then learning the underlying theory is a non-negotiable. It just depends which category a person falls into.
That's a great encouragement for all us so-so guitarists who still pick up the guitar and play every day.
Good to hear it!
A couple of strummed chords is at best intermediate level although her voice is better than I expected.
You are good at teaching. The above critics? Well, visit their channels and decide for yourself.
Thank you 👍🏻
Just saw your videos for the first time earlier today I think you get your point across very well 👍 I have been playing about 4 years I am 65 have trouble with cords I heave rather large fingers
I have been trying to get my strumming better,this is going to help.
Good luck, for strumming, this video might be better: ua-cam.com/video/T2_kDOXdkIs/v-deo.html
Thanks for all the information about guitar practise and music.. can I ask an off topic question... Everyone says bouncing the knee or tapping the foot to keep time with music.. well I have spinal problems and knee problems and can get painful when I try. Can you suggest another way when a metronome is not close by..... Thanks again for all your help..
@anthonyoco. You could always have a metronome at hand by using an app in a smartphone. Hope this helps.
You might try practicing clapping the rhythm before you play the guitar. This will help build a better sense of internal timing without the guitar in your way.
Very Nice lesson on the 1,2m,3m,4,5 with D shape and Dm7 shape with Drop D tuning. Very Nice tool in the Guitar arsenal. Thank You
And you explained it theoretically very well 👏🏻 thanks!
Nice, thank you!
Thank you too!
Thanks!
No problem!
You missed the best part of the House clip, right before Cuddy unplug..
Oops, maybe next time!
Thank you for this. It would be helpful if you played the pieces before or after showing individual notes. Maybe half speed the full. It’s just hard to play individual notes without knowing or remembering what the song sounds like full sped.
Thanks for the feedback John! Have you tried referencing the original song from the timestamps written above the notation? If you do, let me know how this goes.
@ thank you for the reply. Which timestamp is original song? Can’t seem to find it and thank you for
On the music, written above the notation and below the section label. For example, where it says 'Intro' - there's 0:02, Verse 1 is 0:23 and so on - they're the timestamps that tell you where that part comes in on the original track.
Thank you so much for this , this is like gold to me
Glad to help 👍🏻
Good one.
Thank you 👍
@@CarringtonGuitarAcademy this has always been one of my favorite songs. You got me to start looking at it with a new interest. You are right, triads can make it very easy to just float along with the melodies and rhythm lines.
@@78tag Great stuff, glad it peaked your interest!
Thank you for the detailed tutorial, looking forward to learning the whole song!
Glad to help!
🎸Some of you wanted a transcription of this, so here it is. You can find a link to the sheet music in the description, good luck!
He does a good version of Tom T Hall’s That’s How I Got To Memphis
Just had a listen, very nice
cool
Thanks!
Trabscription up yet?🤙
I've transcribed it but it's not my music to reproduce so there are copyright implications. It will likely be up on muiscnotes.com - would you like me to let you know when available to purchase?
It's now available, link is in the the description 👍🏻🎸
🎸Learn this classic Neil Young song. Let me know in the comments below what song you want to see next!
Impressive video, Carrington Guitar Academy. Can't wait to see your next upload from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your methods for breaking down chord changes are incredibly effective. Have you considered incorporating any specific warm-up exercises before diving into the chord changes to enhance finger dexterity even further?
Hey Keyser. Sure! There's a great chromatic finger independence warmup you can do before doing your chord changes. I cover it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/S-IcaYQ6zPY/v-deo.htmlsi=ZmoGkRXUol4-Phca
🎸Hey all! I know chord changes can be a real struggle at first, but as long as you persist with some good advice behind you, those changes will get better, all good things take some time. Let me know below how many changes you got in 1 minute!
who cares if there is a Guitar Solo or not if the Song is a banger? fvck you
Brad isn't really a fan of Solo's
I figure, each to their own
I can't really think of a LP song with a guitar solo. Their magic has always been the mix and classic power cords.
In pieces, keys to the kingdom and guilty all the same are some that come to my mind, pretty good ones btw
It is a big part of their sound for sure.
The wah solo at the end of guilty all the same is pretty cool 🤘
New Metal doesn't need guitar solos. There's already sufficient electric guitar in theses songs with low tuning. But you've made an excellent solo, congratulations!
Thanks dude! I'm always gonna be a sucker for a guitar solo but it's definitely a great track either way 🤘
Guess commercial success doesn't need guitar solo.. Some of their songs didn't really have proper chorus.
True. Sometimes I think if I keep pushing the solo angle Linkin Park will see it (probably not!) and add one 😅 In any case, still a great song.
The Characters are the proffesional Players for the GAME league of legends. ( is like theme song for the worlds tournament )
Ah I see, thanks! That'd be the reason it's posted on their channel. Cool idea to mix the two.
Iv just written one mate! dressed up for it, and everything 😂
😅Awesome, I'll get a look at it when I'm back in a bit!
Kyu-doss?
'Kudos' - it's a word for giving praise to someone.
🎸So I uploaded this Blues solo... I wrote the first half 4 years ago and the second half Friday just gone. However, UA-cam has told me it's found copyrighted content, in a BLUES solo, really?! The only information I have to go on is that according to UA-cam's copyright system, 0:16 to 1:17 of this solo sounds like 'Like the Sunshine (live)' - no artist name, nothing else, just an obscure song title.
..everything internet is literally getting out of control by means of too much control (censorship).
🎸What else would you add to this song if you could? Check out the full video where I let you in on my creative process! ua-cam.com/video/uxY7ua02YTw/v-deo.html Rock on! 🤘🏻
🎸What's your creative process for writing guitar solos?
Thx so much sir Carrington :) great tutorial. :)
Glad to help 🤘
How are you able to tell the Key that quickly at the beginning?
By understanding the relationships between individual chords and how they interact with the vocal melody. Music theory is your best friend here.
Fully expected this to be a video of a guitar being thrown in a dumpster... Sorry that was rude 🙃
😅 Next time
Cool video bro! Keep them coming!!
Thanks dude!
I knew this was gonna be some hard-hitting commentary when he opened up by kudosing her for strumming a C chord. 😅
Just trying to offer her the same support I would to any of my in person students.
Are these the correct inversions?
I wasn't listening for particular inversions tbh, I thought it might make it a bit overcomplicated for a strum along.
great and lovely tune for some one like me,,{ crap player } at the moment......thick middle finger catching the open G and muting it...........
Stick with it, do it slow enough for a long enough period of time and eventually you'll get that middle finger working properly.
Crazy coincidence, I just came from a video talking about the benefits or not of hot and cold therapy after exercise for recovery. We are living in a simulation
😅 living in a simulation indeed, are you a Muse fan by any chance?
@CarringtonGuitarAcademy I used to be in the old version of reality but I need to re-listen to them all over again to make sure they haven't changed anything lol
Very nice ! That F# on 4th string will be the tricky bit for lots newbies 😀
Thanks! And yeah that pinky is certainly tricky at first 🤙
