He's got a style of teaching that's actually really encouraging, instilling in you the idea that, with patience, you'll get better as you go. That's a very important thing in any teacher. Kudos.
I've always felt teaching is an art form that not everyone can do. You can be great at something but terrible at teaching it because you lack the ability to communicate what you are trying to teach in a way others can understand it and everyone understands differently at times. This guy is an amazing teacher
@sccc6758 I once knew a fiddle player (playing Irish traditional music) who himself really wasn't all that great. Really lacked in the technique department. But man, what a grand teacher he was. He, too, had that ability to encourage. He didn't so much see the flaws in his students but rather their strengths - and found ways to expand on them to overcome what weaknesses might have been there. And that's a wonderful talent right there.
Song choices in this episode are perfectly cued to my own level. :) This is approachable, accessible teaching from an authentic master. A rare gift. THANK YOU for uploading.
interval scenes is cool to be good at. I heard a guy teach this years ago and he said he uses famous tunes to help him like the SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW on some is a note and where is one octave up
This just highlights how talented vocalists are... in the sense that they have to create a note from scratch rather than a lot of instrumentalists. What im saying is to sing a G note singers really manufacture it with their vocal chord, or muscles in their voice box. But us guitar players even at the learning stage we have the convenience of puting our finger on the e string ..third fret to produce the G note as long as the string is in standatd tuning. That does not give us much creativity. But guitarists that tend to sing or think about melodies in their head are more succesful as they are able to reproduce those melodies on the guitar.
Yeah, Sense of Interval is "naming" the interval (minor, major, #9) versus Interval Sense "feeling" the interval. When improvising, you don't tell yourself "now I'm going to go flat five and then chromatic it to the dominant 7th then resolve on the root". You just feel it. I think he's trying to say develop an mind to ear to muscle memory for the intervals versus being conscious of what those intervals are. This is such a special ability, that you can just sit in on a song with little knowledge of it and be able to improvise on mind-ear-muscle memory and capture the mood based on the intervals you are feeling.
Yeah not super clear but I took from it that a “sense of interval” is when you hear two notes and know the interval between them. Then “interval sense” is more about anticipating the interval before it is played.

I'm absolutely loving these videos. What a great vibe he guy has.
These are absolutely brilliant vidéos
This is an incredible gift from a true master who truly wants to share his gift. Thanks

So clear, so specific, this is a wonderful lesson, I really appreciate it.

Singers have vocal cords, no "h" like the chords on the guitar.
Very smart.
I don't get his distinction between sense of interval and interval sense. His explanation makes them sound like the same thing...
