Out of the 10 years I've owned this instrument and 7ish years of lessons from 2 different teachers who did an outstanding job of teaching me complete fretboard vision and song deconstruction; your way of teaching + analyzing riff/chord application is the glue that's putting so many pieces together for me. Like duh riffs are just chords that are broken down and pieced together in different shapes, which creates the innumerable value in memorizing octaves + major/minor scale fingerings. This is the best demonstration of scale function I've seen. Thank you for putting love and time into this and sharing it with the world, dude!!! Your videos have saved me many future nights of confusion and frustration. Cheers :)
Hey Kody, that's a really humbling comment. Thanks so much for saying that! I'm really happy that I've been able to help in that kind of way! Sometimes it definitely is just all about sitting back and thinking about the meta of how you could implement some kind of idea. If you look at the history of composition, a lot of new ideas and concepts are generated from composers trying to find new ways to re-work the same old stuff. Cheers!
Alright i watched this 6 hours and after practicing i feel like im 2x better at guitar than before i watched thanks soo much. Idk what these big words u use mean but ill learn them at some point.
sorry to be off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
I'd love to do that in time. I feel like a book is something I'd do after like 20+ years of teaching and theorizing on this stuff though. As much as I'd like to now, I feel like there's always new ideas that I'm implementing with my game, meaning my perspective can shift. That being said, the core idea of playing with notes and even working creatively with a pre-existing pattern, is a pretty timeless technique.
When a mathematician leaves his MIT scholarship, joins NASA, then leaves that and looks at a guitar and asks himself, let's try that.. Then he is what the results could look like
Not an intentional linkage but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some connection. I love listening to Final Fantasy OST piano music. No doubt, some of that stuff bleeds into my aesthetic
In that case, you can try to think of the notes you're going for in that chord and try to find where they manifest on the guitar. A chord is nothing more than a small set of pitches. Meaning, finding those pitches can lead you to create a new shape that maybe you've never tried, or at least, a shape that is easier to play. For instance, CSus2 is spelt C-D-G. Find all the C-D-G notes on your fret board and see what you can come up with shape wise!

Your guitar tone is literally gorgeous

hahaha that's awesome! I'm stoked to hear that!
Just practicing these arpeggios, i feel like im going to get good at shredding lol
Emo shredding aint gonna make you feel powerful like metal but it will surely make u emotional
Haha yeah it definitely helps with that kind of thing too. The great thing is you're giving your hands and ears a work out!

@Travis Sage Instablaster =)
great video...thanks for uploading
You should put all this together for a book - i'd buy it.

@Alex Bernadino LOL and i bought it, but I dig Trevor as well.
I'd do it too
idea 2 sounds really similar to It's Not Safe to Swim today by Veil of Maya
Love these, but what happened to number four?

Final Fantasy VII - Prelude @ 3:00 ?

sus chords sound so cool, but my hand isn’t as cooperative as I would like it to be

This has an Animals as Leaders vibe
You're doing the Lord's work!
This tuner looks like a weird sex-toy lol
