I feel like I'm getting advice by the world's most supportive parents
🥰
Haha
But Without kids
This is the best, I love you guys.
I love you all
honestly claire taught the dualing melodies lesson really well. im gonna rewatch later
👌
So, when bending with the pinky, support it by all the other fingers. Then it's easy :)
Came here to say the same
yeah...first thing I learned when bending on bass, use more than one finger.
Also for other..........stuff.
@@sqlb3rn I also came late to the party, so came to say I came to say this, but you already have :p
Just slide over a fret. Slide into the bend. It sounds way cooler.
Claire: "When I left you, I was but a learner, now I am the master."
Great video guys. I appreciate the work you guys are putting in.
Nolly: Getgood
Corey: Bro..... it's...Allgood.
Every time I see you username. =P
Duh I’ve been making that joke since childhood. 😂
were bros now hoorayy
Claire: *plays my favourite chord*
Dean: "That's a sad chord"
Me: :(
For the person who asked the first question here are a few more reasons to learn to hybrid pick. In addition to what dean said hybrid picking also allows you to play chords that have skipped strings. Also it allows you to play all the notes at the exact same time. This is similar to when you plauly a chord on the piano vs strumming a guitar. It definatly has its place.
Totally, hybrid picking made me a better guitarist.
@@DeanLamb I went through a pretty huge phase of learning some of the newer CHON albums and they use hybrid picking so much I had to get good at it.
I have a feeling the dudes saying no point to hybrid picking are just riffing on power chords or doing some half tempo strummin. Playing bass fingerstyle and slapping has done more to improve my classical and fingerstyle playing across all guitars, than anything else.
The comparison to the piano is PERFECT.
Good points! Thanks.
Lmao I love Claire’s savagery. “These are the answers you’re gonna fucking get” epic.
You know shits getting real when professor Claire brings out the white board...
Great vid guys! Looking forward to more in the Lambst Chopsts series.
Question: What would you guys say is the easiest way to get into recording at home, specifically guitar?
Seeing as you haven't got an answer, tabs is the absolute easiest way, using soundfonts. After that is well, recording. A cheap but reliable interface like a Scarlett or another kind works usually well, and there is plenty of free plugins and (if you're ok to be a bit of a scab) infinite trials of DAWs, like Reaper. I myself have been meaning to get a Reaper licence but the plugins are the most important part. Audacity can use most any other DAW plugin but you need to basically set them up individually per take which is very time consuming if you make mistakes. Hope it helps, I would give you some pointers on what plugins and expansions for amp and speaker sims if I remembered them but its been about 18 months since I had a working pc.
Just back to easiest and what I've said here, the only songs I've released are pure digital, no actual playing. That's guitar, bass, drums and even vocals on one of them. All free software. Find what works for you, the sounds you need and all that. Free stuff works well for home demos, when you find yourself at the point of recording properly, you'll have what you need at a studio
@@blackdog6969 Thanks for the reply,I've since invested in a cheap interface for vocals and guitar,I do bass and drums through software and mix it all in reaper. Not ideal but does the job!
Holy shit I went into this expecting all the usual jokes and gags but (while they were definitely still present) I actually learned something (that dual melody analogy from Claire was fuckin spot on and super easy to understand I’m definitely gonna start working on that)
🥰
After a long break, I started playing guitar again just a couple of days ago. A few people particularly inspired me to get back into it - you and Claire are two of them. Thank you!
Looking forward to more ShredMD!
You guys are great. Much love.
🥰
This is the flat out BEST name for a series ever
Thanks br00tal... Bananas?

“THIS IS A HOUSE OF LEARNED DOCTORS”
At this point after all these videos I feel I almost have a personal relationship with these two adorable death metal sweethearts and I am all for it 😂
You guys are the best. Also, if Dean were to give some advanced exercises on hybrid picking that would be awesome. Picking arpeggiated chords works but those fast scalar runs feel so clunky to hybrid pick at times
Hey thanks! Hybrid picking lesson package available on my website deanlamb.com ;)
i love just watching you two. feel like friends.... but obviously not cause we dont know eachother lol. but yeah i feel good after watching one of your videos thanks
Really dig the idea of this new series
Thanks Shawn!
Lamb Chop was my nickname in highschool. I feel included. Thank you.
🐑
Its nice when something is explained in a way that clicks on occasion. Walking away with "ooooooOOOOOohhhhh, that makes sense....."....Thanks!
😃
I'm tryna be in the club analyzing the tempos and time signatures of the music.
😂
I love the idea of ShredMD, lol. Entertaining and informative as always!
Great video. Easy to understand and fun.
👌
I love this so far. Looking forward to more!
🙏
Move that apostrophe to include Claire's chops: Lambs' Chops
The editing in these are amazing, I love that you actually answer the questions and comments and keep it entertaining. Keep it coming 👍🏻
That's exactly what we are going for! 🥰
You guys were spitting straight facts in this video. Really valuable advice and mental frame-working pls keep making this video series!
This was a delightful, uplifting, and wholesome video.
I look forward to the next ShredMD with Dr. Dean and Prof. Claire!
I finally decided to check out your guys' videos a couple days ago and i've been hooked ever since. Both of you shred and are hilarious to boot; absolute relationship goals on both accounts. Watching your stuff invariably makes me want to grab my axe and practice, and lord knows i need it. Keep up the great work; would absolutely love to see more episodes with this format.
Claire channeled her inner Skwisgaar for a second there. A Skwisgaardian-slip, if you will.
I enjoy watching you guys you seem to be good couple teaching and giving info
Regards from Chile South America
7:39 "Everybody plateaus" too true. I remember hitting that first major bump after playing for a few years, 5 or 7 or 9 years, the truth is, the consolation is, that you are actually making progress. No matter how long it takes to reach that point it really is a milestone to feel that way. It's like learning to talk, or learning anything. You learn what you need to 'know' to be 'good', now it becomes a game of proficiency, and there are many areas, many niches in which you can focus a skill. Chickenpickin', sweeps, fingerstyle, tremolo, blah-de-blah..
Liking Lamb's Chops. You and Claire put out some great content. Thanks for all the hard work!
actual good video with great answers and advice. of course it was!
Y’all are so helpful. Cheers from Tennessee 🤠!!!
OMG Lamb's Chops?! That is the most adorable name for a series I love it.
love this, you 2 are just delightful. Shred MD forever lml
This is some really solid advice! Your video's have really been inspiring me to push my playing a bit more to get out of, what feels like, a solid 5 or 6 year plateau. I also just love you guys!
“7 years isn’t a long time for guitar playing if you’re not honestly practicing.” Wow, did I need to hear that. I’ve been playing for 6 years, and I’m still very much a beginner, and almost feel embarrassed when people ask me to play for them. I feel like I should know way more than I do.
Forget music, how can I be as funny as you guys?
🤷♂️
I'm showing this to my guitar teacher as my get out of jail card for pinkie bending.
Awesome!!! always enjoy watching you guys
When Claire rambles on, it’s adorable lol.
A great introduction to hybrid picking is the main riff from Gorod's Programmers of Decline
Yall are beautiful and lovey people. Thank you for saying "Music should be fun", because that is the most important part!
If anybody feels like they are losing the magic of playing: I recommend learning a song outside of your wheelhouse, and also discover music you may not always listen to. Try to think about music in new ways, even just picking up a new instrument can bring all sorts of wonder back in. Be open to new experiences! There is something to be learned in everything!!
Aye, none of this struck me as personally helpful, but it was great to see how you interpret the answers to the questions and concerns.
My main issue is content creation. Going beyond "this is a song for an EP" is terrifying, because it's really all I am familiar with. 💛🌻
@DanielBx as I said, making the music isn't an issue. It's the OTHER content. All i know is composition. I'm not well versed in creating original video ideas or anything outside of "listen to the notes I placed in order"
@DanielBx last year I composed around 70 pieces of music between 1 and 5 minutes, mostly in the 2-3 minute range. But I only appeared on youtube twice, and they were for playthroughs.
This was educational thank you Mr. Mrs. Lamb y’all rule!
It's awesome that you guys are all about being uplifting to the metal community. Bong clinky's to you and yours :D
Quickly became My favourite YT channel, good stuff guys :)
Dude your first example with the whiteboard went WaAYYYY over my head.. but..... uhhhh thanks!
Love your channel Dean! Im scratching mosquitoe bites too as I just went rafting on the rogue river in Oregon. Coincidencentially I'm mixing an archspire song too, im doing the URM academy thing lol, keep up the great work guys
The part about listening to your guitar from the outside perspective was really helpful! I'll repost my question I left a few days ago. How can you break out of your rut when it comes to an idea/riff? What do you do when you get stuck on an idea?
ya'll are so cute,
happy new day
You are both wonderful!
i envy your relationship guys. you both are so cool!
She's much cooler than I
I got into playing 12 years ago because I was so inspired by metal, but now it seems like the music I enjoy playing most is acoustic folky stuff, though metal is still a favorite.
The plateau is real. I’ve played for 17 years and reached that point 5 times. The third time was so bad that I actually did lose all faith and drive and didn’t pick up a guitar or bass for 2 years or so. I lost a lot of the progress I had made and had to rewind a bit, which made it even more difficult to return. Now when it happens I make a conscious decision to switch it up.
Thank you guys!!
Hahaaaaaa when dean asks claire to sing her white board lmfao it's just something I suppose only married couples can understand. Keep it up you two.
I used to play acoustic using multiple fingers to pluck the strings (not going to say this was any sort of proper technique because I’ve never actually had lessons) but I never even considered adding fingers to my picking technique on an electric guitar. I stopped learning much of anything new in the last 10 years of playing (nearly 30 total), but I may try hybrid picking in the near future. But I’ve never learned traditional sweeping or really even consider myself a lead player at all. You guys definitely inspire me to do more though!
Yes!!!! Great name!!
So who’s gonna make a “Welcome to our apartment” montage
Awesome new series! I have a question. What are some things you both do to break out of old habits and patterns? Thanks!
I love you 2 .... This was better then my morning coffee this morning 😊
Very awesome video, keep them comin!
Your playing is always extremely clean 👏👏 do you have any tips for minimizing resonant notes and string noise when riffing and soloing?
WHAT A GOOD NAME FOR A SERIES
I love to watch people that are really excited about what they do!
Oh i hit the lense!
I hit the tripod!
2:55 I need to relearn/reincorporate hybrid picking into my playing. And I really like the tip on practicing arpeggiating. I used hybrid picking for a few years, then got really lazy with general practicing (like, from 3-6 hours a day to a measly 3 hours a week). The saying, "like riding a bicycle" is not absolute, in my experience. 'Practice makes perfect' is more apt.
9:07 my bandmate and i have pretty similar music taste in a sense, but still wildly different. he likes more of the -"core" suffix genres like Metalcore, Deathcore, etc whereas i like more traditional metal genres like Death Metal, Thrash, Power Metal, etc. It helps us because we both learn from our tastes (mostly him, i am very familiar with the core genres), and elevates our musical writing together, and bringing a handful of genres together in one song, which is always pretty neat
Plateau is a natural period where you are completing integration of things that you know, even if you feel like you're repeating yourself.
What plateaus indicate is that you have assimilated a certain level of particular skills and knowledges lol an analogy to this is when people like Pavel Tsatsouline are speaking about periods where in your development you aren't working very hard and that's actually one of the points on the road you're looking for because if you hold that level for a month or so, even if you stop playing at that time for a year, you'll be able to go back and you'l hurt but most of your muscle memory and mental reflexes will still be there. I visualize it as a period of hardening - if you look, it's becoming clear that nearly all sports are transitioning to longevity training because, for an instance, if you look at long distance runners some of the most successful and consistently high performing people are older, it takes YEARS to put some levels of training on (at least for most ordinary people, I've got a couple gifts but I wouldn't say they're exactly talent).

:: THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS ::
Mr. Edmondson: we've all been there! Sometimes for months at a time.
My only reliable remedy has been: 1) buy a new instrument, make it something interesting and/superfine...and 2) play with new people! Get the fuck out there, baby! You know you're killing it. Happy days.
i like this concept
🙏
Thanks
what’s your approach to extended range when writing riffs? do you have any tips for people switching to an 8 string guitar on the composition side of things? keep up the great work i loved this new segment
*Dean* and *Claire* being competitive by throwing picks at the camera
Haa nice segment! One question for me.. When you want to compose a full song with starting by one riff, what approch do you have and how you think of it?
Thankssssss! ✌
When Claire busted out the counterpoint, I was elated. CLAIRE WRITE A CRAB CANON!
I'll be fuming if "welcomes to lamb chops" isn't the intro to this series for every video
😬
Cool video! What are some tips on getting better with switching between chord shapes? For example, im not too great at switching from a Cmaj to Gmaj chord or vice versa
0:26 wow I love Letterkenny🦐
Im a self taught guitarist and been playing guitar for almost 20 years. Ive always had a good ear when I would write music. Now lately I have been really thinking about trying to dive into learning theory to maybe take my playing to the next level. Any tips or ideas where I should start?
I love the idea of this video. One thing I struggle with is what chords fit with each other. Any help with that would be great 👍🏻
I have a hard time really sitting down and focusing on learning my scales and modes as I know I should. Are there particular modes to focus on and some that can be set on the back burner. Thanks for the help Mom and Dad!
Thanks Dean! Thanks Claire! What were the most significant learning plateaus for the both of you?
Great video, as always! Got a question for you: I always feel like my bass recordings have substandard audio - do you have any tips on how to record really good audio? (I use Reaper FYI)
This is my favourite show
1:21 I just pictured Solitarily Speaking Of Theoretical Confinement
U guys r awesome!!
Hey thanks!
Watching the Lambs while eating lamb... Currently in Bahrain stuck in a hotel room for 21 days.. well I guess I will be getting good at Davinci Resolve....
Yessssss do it
Guitarist of almost 14 years here. I just started learning what the notes on the fretboard are. Is this a worthwhile skill to develop? How often do you really think about what notes to play in the next chord?
i watched one of ur old 'dean attempts' vids, and u introduced me to pick-slanting, which has really helped me already even after a few days, but the one thing that i cant get is how to switch between upward and downward pick slanting during a run. could u talk about that?
Pinky bending is the swamp of sadness. I am Artax.
I have played 6 string guitar for some years and I started to play 7 string guitar a couple of months ago, and its amazing but a little confusing in some way, how much hard its to change to a 8 string guitars? by the way, amazing channel!!
Hey! Can you suggest some riffs, especially Archspire riffs, for using as daily practicing of different guitar technics. That riffs, what you can loop and increasing speed.
Dean what was your practice routine when you were younger? or what things do you guys suggest to take ones playing to the next level so go speak ?
The thing I do now to get my rythm better is COUNTING. Count OUT LOUD when you play WITH YOUR MOUTH, not in your head. But that's me, some people just nail the groove)
I struggle most with pinch harmonics and accidentally ringing out strings when releasing bends.
I have that bending problem aswell, what works for me is using a string damper stuff, and also get very concious on where the problem is so I can try to approach that bend on an upstroke, which puts my hand on perfect position to then mute the other string with the tip of my ringer and middle finger, which is great cause I don't always use a string damper stuff, ofc it doesn't always happened when I'm too distracted or just noodling but my hopes are that if I keep practicing it, I can do it automatically everytime on the future, you could also try the palm mute approach on the other strings as well, I do confess that doesn't work for me on that specific situation with the bend release though cause in my case what is happening is that I am kind of like slightly plucking the string above with my bending finger when I'm releasing the bend, I've also noticed it only happens to me on some places on the fretboard and with big bends, so this is probably different for each player I guess, but hey I think is cool that you have already detect the problem, as that puts you closer to fixing it, anyways sorry for the long reply, hope it's somehow helpful
"This is a house of Shredding Doctors!"
Best damn advise I've heard since my dermatologist told me to get some sun.
Getting from audiating (hearing notes in your head) to playing the dang thing on the instrument, 5 years into playing and i still struggle hard with this
