      Can confirm, parents always used to brag to their mates that I “taught myself to play” because I never had formal lessons, but guitar UA-cam is like having a rotation of 20+ incredible teachers available 24/7

      @@Bruin_ffs Actualy I barely find these videos helpful, It is really dificult for me to replicate what those people are playing. It is much easier to look at someone by your side and play what they tell you. Learning anything from videos and tabs is a hard way for me.

      @@kontoograniczone I guess everyone learns in different ways. When I was a kiddie winkle I’d probably have been a lot less motivated to put the guitar playing hours in if I was learning it by going to see a teacher for an allocated amount of time because it would have then become another “boring” responsibility, which is how I saw school

    This is the best way to show it. Show the key, all of the notes in the key and then what position you’re in for each part. If you know the position and key. Then you can actually mess around and find it. It connects the dots so much quicker than tabs.

    @Ana_crusis 6 місяців тому +1

    That note is not "outside of the scale". What's happening, which we all frequently do with minor scales, is you switch between different minor scales like D natural minor and D melodic minor or D harmonic minor.
    It's really best to see the three scales as variations of one scale. What he is doing here, because he needs the A7, is he is actually using the harmonic minor scale
    Which works perfectly with the Bb and the A7

  • @HighStakesDanny
    @HighStakesDanny 3 місяці тому

    Helpful. However, dont just go up and down the scale. Once you are ABLE to at the speed you want, start trying to find chord tones as the chords move past and find the roots within that scale. Because that scale is also the F major Scale. Find the F note in that D Minor Scale and you have your major scale right there. From there, you can easily jam once you hear the changes. More importantly to hear chord tones, learn the names of those notes and have fun relating them notes to any Scale you’d like. I tend to think of everything as a major scale and sharp or flat as needed from there. For example, if I was in the key of G and need an F, I just flatten the F#, which is 7th note. Em Scale is all over the board along with the G major scale. So, if you can solo in G major, you also can solo is Em, just by starting on the E note and flatting the third which happens automatically if you are using or thinking to stay in the G Major Scale all over the neck. All the cool chords, Dmaj, Cmaj, Em, Gmaj, are there. This is just ONE approach, using your ear and ditching Theory altogether is probably better because as Kurt Cobain said, Theory just GETS IN THE WAY of pure creation. He is RIGHT.
