Not gonna lie, this video sounds like there’s 10 beers sitting behind the camera. This was one of the most easy to understand brilliant videos. Thank you. Love it
This is just an incredible lesson. I’ve been self learning on UA-cam for the last 4-5 years and for anyone that has done that it’s like driving in low visibility where you just get glimpses of where you’re headed. Watching this lesson I just kept having these “oh!! I see bits of those triad lessons I practiced for months” or “that’s those months of pentatonic shapes I practiced”or my favorite “that looks like the Mateus asato rabbit hole I went into.” It’s amazing to get a feeling of clicking, and that’s what just happened beginning to end of this video for me. Cheers!
I know chords and scales, at least academically. I think your view of these these things are very good for getting these things in your ear and fingers. Relying on monuments rather than roadmaps is a very good analogy. Thanks for posting this video
I could be wrong, but I think most pros just know where intervals are...key doesn't matter as much as knowing where your roots, thirds, fifth and seventh intervals are. Now if you know scale patterns and your intervals, you're on your way.
@@HigherPlanes most of us learned the CAGE system then branched into learning other things. We've played them so long that it becomes second nature. I've been a musician 45 years and taught 41 of those years. I would say, this is an additional way to think but it gives you a limited subset of the fretboard. My advice is to learn music theory, learn the CAGED system, learn the the notes per string concept, learn single string leads and other scale firms and systems as you find them. Don't trust people who tell you shortcuts and tell you that you don't have to learn. If you want to be good, learn everything you can know now and know theory. Practice sll of them until they become second nature to you.
That’s great advice. I pretty much do everything you mentioned. I try to learn as mi h as I can without getting overwhelmed. I think with guitar it’s about the journey not the destination. I’ve been playing for 20 years and some days I still feel like a beginner
Sean, thanks for continuing with the theme. One of the key reasons why I value specifically your guitar lesson videos is that most of them take the "let's get a small win" approach, and deal with parts of the fretboard that are easy to understand and manage. You could also combine this lesson with your other lesson, and show where the triads for the main six chords are hiding in the same spot.
What I really like about this video is that you’re teaching theory without ever mentioning theory. You played G Dorian over the m7 chords and made no reference to modes. Nice work. Very accessible to all types of player, which is what teaching is all about.
Very helpful video. Seems amazing to me, as long as I have been playing it seems I've never needed to play a root 6 major 7 chord. It took me a little while to get my fingers into that shape. So from this video I got a movable chord shape, a 3 note per string major scale and some great shapes for improvising. All outside of my minor pentatonic rock & blues comfort zone. Thanks
I've been playing guitar for awhile, casually. I've watched plenty of "This one easy guitar trick will BLOW YOUR MIND" videos and pretty much all of them suck. They usually always over promise, under deliver, and I'm left thinking I'm too dumb to play guitar (after years of play). I actually understand this video and I'll be able to use this to play and improvise better on guitar. Thank you for your time, I am now subscribed.
That was the most fun I have had on a guitar for ages, this is a great lesson, really does make you feel like you have the freedom to explore the guitar without getting lost. Fantastic stuff.
I've already put this to use improvising a lead for Sabor a Mi in Amaj7 and it made a huge difference to what I was previously trying to do with the solo. This was a really practical lesson!
Thanks Sean , ive been messing about with guitarz for 50 years , and this stuff is just something you will NEVER "stumble upon " by noodling around the pentatonics for years ,, i love the street analogy , works for country walks of course ,, log in those landmarks and you wont get lost 🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵
Brilliant. Brilliant..brilliant. Got a whole new perception and it’s opened up soooo many possibilities.. BTW, also got new insights to tunes like Breezin’ ( which I kept getting reminded of throughout the lesson ) and Larry Carlton’s Room 335. Thanks.
Yeah, I just know where I need to go on the fretboard. Like the main stuff . The rest all kinda ties together all over. Play baby play & you will grow. I'll have another please. Great tips Sean - tnx.
This put a better perspective on finding your way creatively thru the fret board. Knowing the notes helps tremendously but also playing them In your own swag makes it cool and personal. This is a great video and Good analogy. For me I started learning the guitar thru elementary habits, but this video helps me be more creative while understanding certain note riffs and chord sounds, and how they can sound in succession.
I love that metaphor, I have a similar one about learning songs tab = sat nav By ear = using your Brain, and thats why for me I can never remember music that I have sight read
Wow wasn’t sure what to think as a first time viewer of your channel and you totally won me over! This was a great lesson for me, really got me excited to start improvising. Thank you!
I love how you say F like a finnish person would, äf. I've never heard it before from native speaker. I don't know if this changes much for me in terms of picturing the position in scale and playing around with it, but this certainly woke me up into thinking I need to think about that chord structuring stuff more. That you can just form the chords on the spot from those notes and they'll work. And using the chords as the core of the melody, keeping it in mind when adding the extra notes around. And the call to blues minor from the major was a great link.
You know, if you keep up this level of instruction, I may, one day - with lots of practice - end up playing reasonably well. Thanks, mate. Cheers from Downundah.
Thank you for making this lesson super accessible. You're absolutely right--students, especially on the younger side, have no fun trying to memorize the "road map." Thanks for sharing!!
It takes time and practice to really learn the fret board notes. But if you do learn it then your scope as a musician is limitless. But each to their own. Frankly chords are just multiple notes. And learning to play with both right and left hands is the key. I play both classical and a Gibson.
This is the best lesson you’ve done. I can now connect the modes to the chords and finally start to solo without sounding like the guitar grimoire. Thanks!
Jäegermeister and guitar lessons. I am in! Good lesson, Sean. Thanks. I always appreciate your lessons and actually was inspired to look up the Phenyx Pro wireless system.
Thank you Sean! I am fairly new to playing a guitar (or anything) and have struggled to understand the value of and to memorize scales. This video finally connected the dots for me. I see the value and can understand.
thanks for this! I've been using this same mental framework for a while and it's great to encounter it in such a neat package "in the wild". This way of thinking is especially good for dipping one's toes into the modes.
So glad I stumbled across this guy. I can't (struggle to) play with plectrum so it's heartening to hear someone play with just finger picking in a tutorial. Sean you are a star.
What a great lesson. Watched you for a while but only recently subscribed, glad I did. Really like your delivery, accessible but challenging for those of us trying to progress. Thanks Sean
I love it -- I have been playing with jazzy chords for a while -- this links so much together -- and sounds great! Thank you! Now to play with this in I IV V (jazzy chords)...
I love you! Too fast for beginner like me but love watching you in action - casual, comical, cool lessons. Thanks! Love the spinning chair too. Good for moving n groovin.
Thanx, Sean. Love your videos. Will have to drill down to find some of your videos on fingerpicking lessons. Still a beginner, but trying to expand my ability to play without a pick.
Damn this was the complete opposite of click bait or catfish . Holy crap my life has forever changed. Thanks man. Super amazing lesson only watched 3 mins so far also. I'll be back lol thank you.
No worries. new app coming. Going wireless to the extreme. Analogous to driving by road-names or monuments, this app is like GPS voice navigation. Tells you by "app to skull technology", exactly what to play, and how close to the end of the song you are. Modulate at the next chord!
Can you possibly do a follow up video where you relate this "drive by" lesson to the scales and/or notes that are being played to give it some context? In any case, thanks for this "not roadmap'.
Great video Sean. After drilling scales and patterns over n over add nauseam, you are helping me to break out and put it all together in a way that is easy to hear and actually use. Thanks!!
i learned that as the Ionian mode and found a rather enjoyable way to use it as medium to blend the major and relative minor scales for soloing in a style thats kind of like Van Morrison and Jerry Garcia
I just subscribed, I love your way of teaching, probably the second video ive watched from you. Definitely digging this lesson and look forward to rummaging through your library!
Thanks for the lesson, very useful! You get right to it without a ton of background/theory. That stuff is good of course, but too much just makes my brain shut off and then I don't play anything from the lesson lol. Anyway, you got a new subscriber here. 👍
Not gonna lie, this video sounds like there’s 10 beers sitting behind the camera. This was one of the most easy to understand brilliant videos. Thank you. Love it
10+ beers
😂

Excellent video!!!
One beer away from fighting with the camera 😂

Cheers!
Man I've been playing for 20 yrs and finally someone explained what I had learned by instinct thanks for putting into words it's affirming
Sir this old lesson brings home so much. It's all the lessons sonically fused in a way that sounds good and helps creatively
Thanks so much!
I know chords and scales, at least academically. I think your view of these these things are very good for getting these things in your ear and fingers. Relying on monuments rather than roadmaps is a very good analogy. Thanks for posting this video

I cannot tell you how much this video just MAKES SENSE. Man I need to play again, this makes me so much less afraid if the guitar.
What I really like about this video is that you’re teaching theory without ever mentioning theory. You played G Dorian over the m7 chords and made no reference to modes. Nice work. Very accessible to all types of player, which is what teaching is all about.

This is one of the most beneficial guitar videos I've ever seen. I'm gonna drive around all day on this!!!

This is a very informative lesson. I’ve been playing for almost 5 years and never saw this concept. It sounds very smooth and jazzy. Nice!
I've already put this to use improvising a lead for Sabor a Mi in Amaj7 and it made a huge difference to what I was previously trying to do with the solo. This was a really practical lesson!
I’m on my Third New Holland Dragon’s Milk bourbon barrel aged stout and this lesson is the bomb. Thanks Sean!
11% BABY! WOOHOO. SUCH A TASTY STOUT
ty so much for this lesson. I now believe I am on track with what I have been playing. Liked
happy to help!

Love this guy. I’d buy him a beer anytime. He’s brilliant
OMG ... Thank you so much for this awesome easy to follow video!!!! This is how I learn .. other ways are too complex. So grateful!
Yeah, I just know where I need to go on the fretboard. Like the main stuff . The rest all kinda ties together all over. Play baby play & you will grow. I'll have another please. Great tips Sean - tnx.

1, 3, 5. Light went on for me. Too cool! Wow!
Thanks for watching!
But can you 0,3,5? Sorry, not sorry.
Wow, this is a real great guitar lesson and I’ve had a few in my time but I actually learnt something with this one. Thanks a lot
Wow wasn’t sure what to think as a first time viewer of your channel and you totally won me over! This was a great lesson for me, really got me excited to start improvising. Thank you!

Your sense of humor is spot on. Thanks for the tips.
Man mad respect for the D’Angelico. They’ve been getting pretty popular the past few years
Thanks. Great ‘road map’ well presented. It’s always good to know where the shortcuts are!
You know, if you keep up this level of instruction, I may, one day - with lots of practice - end up playing reasonably well.
Thanks, mate. Cheers from Downundah.
Thanks, this is really good. I was creating interesting sounds straight away. I’m going to show my daughter this lesson.
Thank you for making this lesson super accessible. You're absolutely right--students, especially on the younger side, have no fun trying to memorize the "road map." Thanks for sharing!!
Hope you came through the hurricane ok.
I'm going to miss Fort Myers beach.
Thanks for the help.
I'm getting better thanks to you.
Could be your best lesson yet Sean. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent lesson, Sean!! Big help.

Thanks for all you give
So well presented.
Jäegermeister and guitar lessons. I am in! Good lesson, Sean. Thanks. I always appreciate your lessons and actually was inspired to look up the Phenyx Pro wireless system.
I'll say it again Mr. Sean>>> You are a good guitar teacher, thank you
Thanks for the latest guitar lesson. As always, appreciated!!
Great lesson! I love your metaphors.
Thanks so much mate, after 15 years playing guitar you push me over a lump of lack of how to improvise.
Thanks Sean, always love the maj7 lessons, it's part of my Hawaiian roots!
AWESOME ON THE ROOTS DUDE!
My man comes up with the most creative way to bring up the ads
right at the level I"m at. Thank Sean look forward to all your videos
Thank you Sean! I am fairly new to playing a guitar (or anything) and have struggled to understand the value of and to memorize scales. This video finally connected the dots for me. I see the value and can understand.
thanks for this! I've been using this same mental framework for a while and it's great to encounter it in such a neat package "in the wild". This way of thinking is especially good for dipping one's toes into the modes.
Happy to help!
Best video yet sir. Easy to understand and enjoy. Bravo
I need to live under his couch so I can absorb all his knowledge and skills !! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 🎄🙂
Jazzy chords and licks on a very jazzy guitar....thanks Jazzy Sean!
Very cogent lesson. You where right, I can't forget it. Thanks.
Sean thann you so much for this video. It has helped me immediately.
Glad to hear it! Keep rockin!
So glad I stumbled across this guy. I can't (struggle to) play with plectrum so it's heartening to hear someone play with just finger picking in a tutorial. Sean you are a star.
I can play with a pick alright, but I’m WAY better with fingers. Mostly because I just really prefer using fingers.
Love the teaching style. It really helps make it stick easier.
Tiying the relative minor and the faux Pentaton and the 1, 3, 5 so clear thank you
You are an excellent teacher . Keep it up
I "F Majorily 7" enjoyed this video. First time watcher. This really helped explain my pseudo jazz playing.
You know what's crazy, I finally figured out how it all fits together, it took me well over thirty years, but I got it, don't give up
HOLY SMOKES, this is one of the best lesson ive even taken, ima sub now..thank you
Dude, you opened my eyes!
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed the insights and your relaxed style. Thanks
What a great lesson. Watched you for a while but only recently subscribed, glad I did. Really like your delivery, accessible but challenging for those of us trying to progress. Thanks Sean
Welcome to the party!
You’re analogy of the road map is a really good one👍
you are fantastic! Subscribed! not only informative but fun. gets me excited to play! thanks again!
Killer video, very good teacher.
Thank you!
I love it -- I have been playing with jazzy chords for a while -- this links so much together -- and sounds great! Thank you! Now to play with this in I IV V (jazzy chords)...
It's coming together. Thanks.
I love you! Too fast for beginner like me but love watching you in action - casual, comical, cool lessons. Thanks! Love the spinning chair too. Good for moving n groovin.
I like your relaxed vibe. Cool lesson, thank you for all this sauce!
Sauce. Gross
ur attitude's gross@@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss
Thanx, Sean. Love your videos. Will have to drill down to find some of your videos on fingerpicking lessons. Still a beginner, but trying to expand my ability to play without a pick.
I haven’t liked a video in a while. This one made me 😮. Good work.
Damn this was the complete opposite of click bait or catfish . Holy crap my life has forever changed. Thanks man. Super amazing lesson only watched 3 mins so far also. I'll be back lol thank you.
Thanks for the fun video, and the looks at that beautiful guitar.
This is eye-opening! Thank you so much, Sean.
Thanks for showing me this! This helped out a lot.
Pet Sounds is great, btw.
No worries. new app coming. Going wireless to the extreme. Analogous to driving by road-names or monuments, this app is like GPS voice navigation. Tells you by "app to skull technology", exactly what to play, and how close to the end of the song you are. Modulate at the next chord!
Thanks for the lesson bro...I enjoyed it's lot
Great lesson.!! Subscribed!
I always get lost too by the way. Then i just drive around until i recognize somethig.
this was a good one sir Sean, thanks
Fantastic lesson; thank you sir.
Nice to find this again. I forgot about it.
Damned Fine Video! Though I JUST found this, I am indeed truly grateful for such!!
Nice to meet Cha! I look forward to getting to know Ya!
This and your video about the three notes per string just earned you a new sub! :D Thanks for the great guitar tips!
Can you possibly do a follow up video where you relate this "drive by" lesson to the scales and/or notes that are being played to give it some context? In any case, thanks for this "not roadmap'.
This is fantastic! Thanks!
You are lucky to have so much knowledge. Wow 😲
Really really great lesson mate! Something totally new for me - thank you!
I love your concept. Monuments. Monumental. Thanks 😊
Great video Sean. After drilling scales and patterns over n over add nauseam, you are helping me to break out and put it all together in a way that is easy to hear and actually use. Thanks!!
i learned that as the Ionian mode and found a rather enjoyable way to use it as medium to blend the major and relative minor scales for soloing in a style thats kind of like Van Morrison and Jerry Garcia
bravo..a simple pattern that i never noticed...keep it up and i will figure it out
Hi Sean! I hope you are safe and doing well, and that the wind and rain were not harmful to you and your friends, family and possessions.
Love the stair case tailpiece on d'angelico guitars
Wow thanks Sean..That totally added something to my repertoire.
Blabbermouth Darryl again... Time to pick up my guitar and practice yesterday's lesson again. Thank you, Sean! Then work on this one!
This one of the first things I learned when In learned to play guitar!
I just subscribed, I love your way of teaching, probably the second video ive watched from you. Definitely digging this lesson and look forward to rummaging through your library!
