You are my inspiration, sir. I had the opportunity to listen to one of your solos, I don't know if it s the notes or the harmony you play them over, but it was interesting
What a gem of a video. Do you do 1 on 1 online lessons? I practice 1-2 hours each day but always feel that i lack some kind of mentor/teacher. Finding a teacher with your approach is super rare. Greetings, Bart
Dani Rabin...I'm a teacher/ player of many styles and lifetime guitar fanatic and kudos to you as if you've read my mind on this video. Our community needs more of this type of psychology HOW TO "coaching" and less Am pent repetitions
Telling yourself that you don't have the time (90+20 minutes or 'any schedule on a daily basis') is pointing out the lack of priority, I think this is the biggest reason why so many people don't develop much. We won't wake up one day and suddenly are at the point of skills that we always dreamed of...
Right on the money. I have been going back to some of the classic rock I played in a bar band , and am coming to new conclusions about the accuracy of the rhythm playing and the blend of Major and minor blues , dorian Mixo and melodic minor. For example LA Woman. A song that mentions Hills are filled with fire 🔥 back in the 60s , imagine that , A Minor blues a major blues and E minor over A ( dorian) But the hills are filled with fire part , is Dominant . the 5th mode of Melodic Minor (mixo b6) Also Purple haze First measure of the solo is minor blues then over F# D E dominant , 5th mode of MM again JJ Flash , the opposite happens , it starts Major blues on B then Bminor blues shape over E D C# A . Jimmy Page did that a lot Or Clapton same thing . Badge D C B G D is Major blues or D Dominant ( mixo b6) Then C G is D minor blues Shape C major or C MM ( Adding chromatic information ) Lynaryd Skynyrd what's your name A is A blues then G I would call that V7 to One major It has A blues , the 6 note scale , on the A, then on G the sound is G major the 7 note scale
Great video! There were some great points made here. I do need to try and devote more time to practicing for sure. I'm always looking for areas where I find I can't pull off something I want to do, so I'm able to break practice up into smaller chunks. Less effective than a 1-2 hour chunk of time but I do still see improvement.
In mike Sterns book from 2020 Alt scale Soloing for jazz , he is saying Learn the notes from the ROOT not the shape , know the actual intervals , practice 3ed 5ths and 6ths scales You start seeing the character of the scales better that way . Also when Eric Johnson was on Beato , he was saying the same thing, know the note names of the lick you like then play it in a different position . I love when they asked Jerry Garcia if he practices , and he said yeah " I am always looking for a different way to play through positions on the neck " Jerry didn't care how famous he was, he was over rated by his fans who thought he was the only guy in existance who should be allowed to play guitar, yet underrated for the less obvious things IMHO
My current hang up is that carving out that 90 minutes is really tough lately between a hectic gigging and teaching schedule. I'm playing up to 10 hours a day often recently, but not deliberate practice!
Good video. I like the bit about him saying we need to ask ourselves just how good are you? What standard are you at? And like many, if I think about the amount of years I have been playing, it's quite shocking really. Plus I know more than one pro guitarist in a pro band who would fall apart at an open mic night if presented with music outside their comfort zone.
My biggest issue is what a friend calls "stability" or having the finger independence to keep my pinky in close to the fretboard when I'm playing legato. Makes the finger inaccurate when finger accuracy is very, very, important for legato playing.
@@samlong9354 I would make a wager that you are misdiagnosing the problem and that you haven’t figured out how to use the weight of your palm to transfer the pressure from finger to finger when playing legato and that that’s the hang up
My linear lines are bad, I haven't transcribed much and I'm carrying much of my rock type of sound. Not much outside playing and too much overplaying. And rhythmically I'm not too good either, I think it's coming from bad chord change chops
My big thing that I'm working on is percussive acoustic playing. I know what sound I want, I know what I want to write, but I currently lack the sense of timing I need to pull it off. I have no formal education and am entirely self taught. Anyone have some advice?
@@chriszec4588 if you can’t play in time getting the percussive wound you want look at someone who gets the sound and examined their motion mechanics. Particularly the right hand and compare it to yours by recording yourself on video and going back and forth between the vids. You’ll learn a lot
I listen to Pat Martino and the difference between me and him is endurance. How the fuck does he just keep going? And somehow it all works. He’s just playing Dorian and some noodly chromatics. I can sound kind of like him for 8 bars, then I’m out and it’s back to blues wank.
I am able to very comfortable and quite musically improvise in simple pop progressions like 1-6-4-5 in keys like C D A F, but I'm losing my mind when I switch to keys like C# F# G# A#. I feel like I never played guitar before, half of the notes are just farts in the sky. It is weird, I don't know why it's so hard for me to do all that half step transitions for schemes what I played a thousand times already. I wanna play like Greg Howe, but I understand that I can't play like Greg Howe, and I need to target something what he does, but on lover difficulty levels. And it's not always obvious and clear.
I like to many styles of music which makes my confused. I don’t realy know who i am from a musically standpoint. Sometimes its Rock, then blues, gypsy Jazz, fusion and so on. Can somebody relate?
@@YourNextMistake you are not the audience. Hold your guitar hit record on your phone and play for 10 minutes. Then listen back. That’s exactly who (and more importantly where) you are. Confront that, work on that and get better.
@@marbinmusic Most of the time i don’t like my playing.. its not good, not good enough for me and my Goals. It feels like everyone is better and my Goals are out of reach.
@@YourNextMistake saying you’re not good is a cop out because it’s just kicking yourself in the balls in a way that doesn’t allow you to take action to solve problems. Ask yourself what isn’t good about your playing, or what the worst thing about it in this moment and try to solve that. If you constantly work on your biggest problem at the time you will get better and over time since you will start to like you playing since you took steps to solve and correct the behaviours you don’t like one by one
@@YourNextMistake shifting awareness from what you think you know, to being aware of your mistakes, limitations and things you still don't know are normal in any skill as you become more proficient. Happens with whatever skill, be it driving a car, speaking a new language, etc...
Mode memorization when I move into the 3+ positions. I get the flats and sharps wrong because of the changes in shape. Marbin rips, been checking out the two most recent albums over the last couple days. Also fantastic educational content.
If only people taught more about math rock and Midwest emo type of stuff. However at least Steve from Lets Talk About Math Rock and Trevor Wong exist, probably will patreon them to get tabs to learn some stuff since most of those songs are near impossible without tabs imo.
I found just making albums is the better goal to be honest, even if they suck. I am grateful for dudes like the guy from Invalids who programmed drums and played all instruments on his albums. That's what inspired me to actually make music, as should most of you should do. More so because it is impossible to find people into Midwest emo or math rock in any area I've been in lol. Better to make it myself
Really, really cool and useful -unlike most of the other takes on the subject! Biggest issue? Possibly too much UA-cam without an actual guitar in my hands 🫣

Sir, you are quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam guitar instructor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and sense of humor!
Dani is the MAN!!! Very knowledgable and no non-sense. One of the few people I recommend that you listen to. :)
The link for the massager really is in the description. Fabulous, that's consistency:)
A great music lesson is one like this, in which all the tips can be readily applied to almost any other area of daily life.
I guess that's why I'm addicted to this particular channel and its contents: sheer wisdom shared, zero bullshit and a bit of fun. Oh and I need that massage machine by the way :-)
Glad you dig it. Lots more to come.
My biggest issue is being overwhelmed with what to learn and jumping around to different things too much without consistent repetition
Get a teacher and do what he tells you.
@@marbinmusic that's you! I'm trying but my fingers keep getting stuck with all the cheeto dust (this is Matt H.)
I feel this. There’s so much we are exposed to and it’s hard to resist wanting it all.
It's really great to encounter this kind of honesty.
You are my inspiration, sir. I had the opportunity to listen to one of your solos, I don't know if it s the notes or the harmony you play them over, but it was interesting
Actually, this advice fits very well with anything one needs to do to improve (musically or otherwise). I love it!!!

@@MCbarry4 danihrabin@gmail.com
I'm definitely getting that massager
He’s right about slowing down and going backwards. I really good jazz pianist told me to practice scales slowly. Took me 10 years to try it. lol
Better late than never
@@marbinmusic Unless you are a paramedic.
Another great video.
I really like how you explain reality . Especially about music school was so incredible and honest .
8:17 perfect. I'd love to see ear training content from you.
I thought you were gonna say at 00:15: the fact that you're watching this video instead of practicing is already a bad start for you

For example LA Woman. A song that mentions Hills are filled with fire 🔥 back in the 60s , imagine that ,
A Minor blues a major blues and E minor over A ( dorian)
But the hills are filled with fire part , is Dominant .
the 5th mode of Melodic Minor (mixo b6)
Also Purple haze
First measure of the solo is minor blues then over F# D
E dominant , 5th mode of MM again
JJ Flash , the opposite happens , it starts Major blues on B
then Bminor blues shape over E D C# A .
Jimmy Page did that a lot
Or Clapton same thing .
Badge D C B G
D is Major blues or D Dominant ( mixo b6)
Then C G is D minor blues Shape C major or C MM ( Adding chromatic information )
Lynaryd Skynyrd what's your name
A is A blues then G
I would call that V7 to One major
It has A blues , the 6 note scale , on the A,
then on G the sound is G major the 7 note scale
This is great advice. Noticed you stopped talking about SRV after you said the word “system.”
But, but, but scratching your balls and eating Cheetos is such a defining part of the guitar player lifestyle. 😅👏🏻💯
Yep. Consistent practice made thr world of difference
Awesome advice and true points all around.
Glad it was helpful!

Great points, very reminiscent of Zen Guitar by Philip Toshio Sudo (RIP)
I can play the guitar well, but am a poor musician. Can't seem to keep track of the changing neck over the chord changes.
Love your videos man! Put a noise gate on your mic there's a lot of white noise
Great advice!! I fucking love Marbin
We love you (deeply)
Uh oh - 3:40 you just described me 🤣
that neck massager tho. holy shit
It's the only way to get good at guitar!
When you put your hand up for step 5 I realized the reason I can’t succeed is genetic
I got three guitars and i think i need to pick one to just really focus my playing on the most
I don’t play but want to get better!
@@bubbles3161 that’s a hard one
Jeff Beck would be happy....not sure he would be the sponsor's shit but A-for effort for sure, lol. Great video by the way
I think my issue is that I have no reason to play, no performances or musician friends

These lessons can be helpful, but without solitary practice they won't help. At least that's an easy problem to fix.
