Awesome vid - Can you do a tutorial on pinch harmonics?

[@rakman_guitarjams]

There’s plenty of decent tutorials out there already so do a quick search. But the idea is to use a tiny bit of thumb flesh in addition to the pick to achieve a pinch harmonic. So you’ll need to shift the pick very slightly in favor of the thumb to pick the string with both flesh and pick. Turn up volume and gain bc these make pinch harmonics come through better.
Play around till you get it and try to practice that technique on different strings, as different string thicknesses will require a slightly different pick orientation. After you discover the right method once and practice it, it stays with you no problem. Have fun!

[@Mevlaaahmad9]

​@@rakman_guitarjamsthank you

[@Sasquatch33]

Tbh there's not really anyway to explain it perfectly it kinda just happens by trying it till you get it. You stick a tiny bit of the side your thumb on the left side of the pick and you simultaneously pick and hit the string with your thumb at the same time. You have to angle it your pick slightly down aswell so that your thumb makes contact.

[@amogh_veena]

Trust me man figuring it out by yourself is the best just see a basic tutorial and keep trying

[@chuckp342]

"Pop" the string whilst almost simultaneously muting the string with your thumb - bend or vibrato for accent. It's really trial and error. You can bend the string and quickly hammer off for quick chirps.

Is telling people to play the 3 notes that make up the 4 chords really "Music Theory" though? Lol

How I never discovered your content sooner is beyond me cause holy hell are these some eye opening tips you're giving out for free. Kudos Brandon and all the best to ya!

[@lizzard13666]

Your knowledge on scales and guitar tips is legendary. Like, maybe there's better guitarists (heavy on the maybe), but I don't think I've seen someone with your ability to teach it. This channel is crazy good. Love your work man. Thanks for bringing a little bit of magic and music back to the cesspool that is the internet, and to our lives!

[@davineuskens21]

thanks!

[@briannasplace2718]

Would love to see what the picking hand is doing as well.

The pinch harmonics are always 🔥

[@savvy_rl]

Awesome, thanks gotta try this

[@theshapeexists]

Triads were my epiphany moment to figuring out soloing across the neck. This is great for the new guys learning

[@jimmccall8030]

[@gk6993]

One of your better tips in my opinion. I just don't know all the other knowledge surrounding this. But, thank you.

[@scottandersen508]

Thanks as always! I Gotta work on those damn triads lol

[@randomuselessguy3009]

Sounds alright

[@em8969]

Thankyou bossman🙏🏾🙏🏾😂😂😂

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

So, from what I've gathered, triads are essentially just breaking down each note of a chord and playing it as a scale?

[@kimisingh7298]

Pretty much, chords, scales, triads as arpeggios are all the same because it’s a sequence of notes

[@HannahsMusicAndNovels]

@@kimisingh7298 Gotcha. Thanks! 💖

[@LowKickMT]

yes without the double notes you have in normal chords

[@blackbirdsax4041]

Lately I've been I've been losing sleep

[@thomasnikolaou8331]

It's like a mystery when you unlock it, but playing fast is coming on its own if you keep practicing a variety of stuff. Explore scales in notes and degrees, explore triads, chord, learn theory, harmonic contexts , study tons of songs, not only where you put your fingers, but what notes you play, what keys. Coordinating your movements it's the easiest part, then you have to figure out what to play. So the actual game is to train your thought to be faster, then you play faster

[@anthonycruz6909]

Lol great 👍 bro thanks very informative 👍

[@halfbee7886]

Nice!

[@kamekaha52]

[@sijenggo86]

Awesome

[@user-me5fh3yu1j]

ive heard this on the radio in the early 2010s

[@dehasim]

Nice way to make people use scales without noticing, great video, i wish i didnt suck

[@BillKurn]

This information just PISSES ME OFF!

[@m.vonhollen6673]

There’s really only one scale: the chromatic scale.
Now you can choose to leave out certain notes if you wish, or use them all; you just have to always be aware of how they are functioning against the background chord.
Here’s an example over a Dominant 7 chord:
1-3-5-b7 are the chord tones which are the “safest” notes; you can sit on them all day.
Next are 2-4-6 (aka 9-11-13) which are scale tones from Mixolydian; also add in b3 (which almost always should resolve upwards to 3) and b5 from the Blues scale.
Now you have this:
1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7.
These 9 notes are the most “inside” and usable notes over a Dominant 7th chord (in a Blues).
Only b2-b6-7 remain, and all three can be used as chromatic passing tones (in the right context).
Note that b5 (Gb over C7) against the I chord will become b9/b2 over the IV chord (Gb over F7), and is pretty much essential. Both b6 and 7 are useable as chromatic passing tones.
- So find yourself a simple Blues backing track, and start seeing if you can make every note work in some way. You can! It’s doable! Every note is useable.

[@jestemwojtek8741]

Yes

[@Sensei.shonuff]

I saw the thumbnail for this and I'm just here to say that's what she said

[@gcleeter2261]

This sounds like a muse song

[@user-hc7ez4br3w]

The way of the househusband plays guitar haha

[@michaelmendillo7513]

Pretty damn cool ! Lol😅😅😅😅

[@wordsintowins]

Let’s do it in another position…that’s what she said.

[@justin.terrey]

Is it just me or did it sound like score music from transformers when you were initially showing the triads being played one by one? 😂

[@kaaiplayspiano7200]

Now let's do it in another position!

[@Hungrykittynomnom]

Im gonna run to you chords😂😂😂

[@klorand]

Thanks, goddamit! 🤬🙏

[@Henry24642]

Add a g to the end and u have bad piggies

[@thomas_lappin]

Bros pick colour changed

[@cigottro]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@prod.sammey3508]

This video screams impossibile-james arthur

[@eross21]

awesome. what is the formula to find a triad

[@clamchowder5635]

THANK YOU for this information. I will JUST LEAVE now.

[@EdSalisbury-u3e]

And then...
* Use approach notes (q. v.)
* Suspensions
* Chromatic runs linking things
* Enclosures - approaching above & below
Throw in rhythmic variations, chord/melody, playing with others...
now, you're starting to *play*, and it's such a gas.
IYKYK

[@hazybunk]

Now just leave........ ok sir

[@MikeZSimale2024]

💪😎🤟

[@victorboucher675]

cool

[@Joru0906]

How do you do it with an easier scale? Like C Major or F Major

[@Ahumanthatplaysbass]

Sounds like “Nicotine” by Panic at the disco

[@EverythingEdits.20]

Can you do this with cowboy chords
