    It's funny how when you are first learning guitar you have to try so hard to stop from muting certain strings and then when you reach a certain level of proficiency you then have to learn how to mute strings.

    Small movements!! The thing that helped me the most is to make sure my picking hand stays in one place and moves very little. Videoing myself playing helps tremendously. I didn't even know my right hand was moving so much. I notice that great players move their picking hand very little.

    As a complete beginner, it's infuriating how most people just say to keep practicing to fix certain problems. Most of the time it's true, but dammit I'm already practicing. It's good to see that some folks like you out there actually offer sound advice.
    I'm under the impression that mastering the guitar is like trying to climb the Everest but without even knowing how to walk properly. It's such an overwhelming task. The thing is that I'm ambitious with my goals and I'd like to become advanced in the next 365 days. By advanced I mean being able to play my favourite songs (mostly hard rock and metal). Each time I make progress I feel like there's a new issue to fix (like plucking the wrong strings when doing exercises lol). I have no idea if my goal is feasible at this point. I practice consistently but progress comes slowly.
    Any ideas to speed up the learning process and minimize mistakes?

      Also, I would recommend writing your own hooks and songs. You will naturally create songs within your skill level, and, as you progress with your songwriting, the need to try new techniques, or even the possibility of inventing your own, will be drawn out through the writing process.

    A tip that works for me is playing and watching myself in a mirror, so I can see for better fretting accuracy without looking while getting a feel for the right positioning, The Everest climbing before you know how to walk is a great analogy!

    Fretting isn’t my issue anymore. But I get scatterbrained when I focus on my fretting I feel myself getting lost between strings cause I never have time to look at my right hand to see where exactly I am. I’ll jump to G from D then hit E then when I want to go back to G I’ll end up hitting D and when I want to hit the right note I’m STILL hitting D like ugh. I drag myself through the dirt because of these mistakes.

    Another observation Sean. You have 2 reference points going. One is your wrist locked and the other is your fingers are on the body of the guitar. So for bottom strings you appear to be using your fingers, and for top strings you use your wrist for referencing where the strings are.

    Great video !!. When I first saw the acoustic version of "Something like Olivia" on UA-cam, it just blew my mind away. He (Mr. Mayer) wasn't just hitting the strings but he was moving his wrist in a manner you would move while strumming, i.e. with full force and power. He produces a really powerful music in that song by a combination of strumming, soloing and muting. I would consider myself lucky if I could do it some day :)

    This was super helpful in cleaning up technique on my picking hand. The thing that I really have trouble with is being able to see a chord shape in a scale. So for example I can play scales and I can see them pretty quickly, but I can't just look at a note, and go, that's the third in a four chord in the key of B major. I wish I could figure out a way to connect the scale patterns on the fretboard with chord shapes in all the keys. Thanks for the video!

    @ghfdt368 5 років тому

    great advice Sean. Also its okay to look at your picking hand, especially if its something new. I still do when i am learning a new finger picking song and pattern until i get it down. An amazing exercise to get better at muting strings is to play the pentatonic scale but muting all strings except the note you are playing and going up and down the scale. It is really difficult at first but if you take it slow and start with just the low E and A string then steadily go down the scale more and more, then you will get better and your string muting will be pretty solid.

    The good thing about only having one guitar is that hitting the right strings become second nature because you only play one guitar. The downside is that when I borrowed my friends acoustic to play something, I hit a ton of strings that I shouldn't.
    The body difference between an acoustic and electric sure does make a difference.

    Perhaps because I'm left handed and my only choice was to learn on a right handed guitar my picking problem is as follows. Picking out lead type notes isn't much of a problem, my right hand seems to know where to go when a left hand finger touches the string/ note, but when I make a chord and my left hand stays in place I don't have the consistent accuracy I desire. Anyway I shall not give up!

    I think if someone wants to learn the guitar by ear and hand they should practice the guitar with a blindfold on or in the pitch dark. So it stops their eyes diverting back to the fretboard. I think this way of practice will be build confidence quicker and relax them more as well.

    I've been playing for 30 years, and I still have issues strumming single strings. My pick either gets stuck, or I just hit the wrong string. I try to tilt my pick, so it's parallel to the string (since our guitars tend to be at an angle when strapped up). I play an Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexi, so the neck is tighter. But I have the same issue when I play my Fender Strat, so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, this has been my Achilles Heel for many years. I still haven't solved this issue.

      Yup! 24.75. There are definitely similarities there, but much lighter. Neck is a lot different, too. I'm not a super experience LP player, but I feel like a Les Paul lets you dig into the neck a little more, whereas I kind of feel like a glide a little more on this one for lack of a better word.

      Sean Daniel It certainly is something to look at. Good to know it plays well, too. I always appreciate the feedback you give on the guitars you play. You use instruments I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of, like Ernie Ball. It’s nice to get some perspective on brands outside the Gibson/Fender dichotomy.

    Hey, Sean. I've never jammed with anyone, and I've never played over backing tracks. I mostly just noodle around meaninglessly. Anyway, I decided to record a backing track, nothing too fancy, just a I-IV-V, and play over that. It was terrible. I couldn't keep track of the changes, and I didn't know what to play over it. Aside from "Practice, practice, practice", what advice do you have to get better at it?

    • @TheAsciiadam
      @TheAsciiadam 5 років тому

      If you use the minor Penitonic scale from the Root cord, you can use it for all the cords. You don't have to change. Just target the IV note or V note when the cords change. The timing could come from counting or just feeling over time. I am no teacher so I am probably saying poorly. That is a start and you will soon want to move on from that.

      You could just do a backing track with two chords...and give yourself space to play in each chord. Also pick chords where you can just play over your favorite minor pentatonic to give you a scale that always sounds good...then you can work in some notes from the full scale of each chord...focus on the triad notes there...

    • @seandaniel23
      @seandaniel23  5 років тому +1

      Great advice. Definitely just try looping a backing track with one chord, then maybe step it up to 2, but give yourself a good amount of time between changes and keep upping the game accordingly!

    So... when someone is hitting only the strings they want, they either have GREAT muscle memory or are just muting the other strings so they can be as wreckless as they want?

    The neck of your guitar is really wide so the strings are very far apart. What about a thin neck guitar?

    Tip, when you hit a wrong note repeat it & people will think it is supposed to sound that way. That advice comes from Keith Richard & he has hit a few wrong notes. I call it Guitar Deception. :)

    Just realised lately that I anchor my picking hand on the guitar just below the strings with my little finger. Its a pretty bad habit to get out of.

    • @74dartman13
      @74dartman13 5 років тому +1

      I do the same thing! I don't think it's a bad habit. It's about what works for you! I've actually seen other teachers suggest that as a way of having an anchor postion. Whatever works!👍😎🎸🎶
