Interesting lesson Am convinced, this dynamic instrument, entire tone gets enhanced when infused w a tad of attitude. Great lesson, just stumbled across your site.
Ah I'm a day late, sick as a dog, up way too early, and can't follow along because my finger is jammed and nose is dripping too fast LOL And I was just in town AND shook your hand, hope you're ok LOL *edit: I almost forgot to tell you, there's about ten seconds of silence in this video 13:46 to 13:51 so watch out for that in editing. Anyway as an autodidact I've always thought of the concept of double stops as oddly contrived and a good example of why people are afraid of lessons making their playing sound conformist and boring. Guitar isn't even close to my first instrument, beginning with piano then a few various brass and woodwinds. So while I am familiar with instruments that aren't capable of more than single note lines, I've never moved to a polyphonic instrument and thought to myself, "I'm going to do a septuple stop here, move downward by double stops to a single note lead line ascending back up to etc. etc. etc." Does that make sense? I also used to think of pentatonics as "no fours or sevens." I'm not defending guys who scoff at lessons; I used to be one of them and am simply articulating the nature of their argument, "I don't want to sound like Tim Pierce; I want to sound like Joey Santiago," a.k.a. deliberate sloppiness is emotive, and the more polished the more lame. But after a few months of chords and coffee I've learned so much more than I ever expected. I think, upon having snapped out of it, the "lessons conform" philosophy may be simple self justification. Like when we buy a piece of gear and it suddenly becomes the best ever (until the next piece of gear), I think I was wrong to refuse to learn in any way except by ear. So thank you for that, Nate.
Thanks for the heads up on the editing mistake and I appreciate your encouragement!!! Your comments are always so insightful. I hope you get to feeling better soon Craig. God bless you! 🙏
*CHART CORRECTION* at 12:53 those B6 and B7 chords should be on the 7th fret
Thank you so much for sharing this my friend.
I appreciate you Dustin! ❤️🙏
GREAT Lesson!!! Thank you Nate!
