    I truly love the way you teach: slowly, clearly, no showing off or "screaming" all the time to show you are in the spotlight. Here the content QUALITY defines the channel

    Dear Jack, in this lesson there is something special, that is very difficult to find out and this something is generosity and warmth. Congratulations, Maestro!

    Please don't quit teaching guitar on UA-cam, Jack... You have students from all over the world now. And you're opening up sounds on that instrument that i have not heard before 😊

    When I began learning lead I bought book after book, memorizing as many scales/boxes as possible, but none of the books explained how to actually use the scales. I could play in key/scale, but it still sounded like I was just noodling. I spent a long time asking other players how they use the scales, with no good answers, until finally coming across one who said to throw the scales in the garbage and just play the chords. It took a while for it to register but I have since passed it along as: “You can’t go wrong with chord tones; they’re already a part of it!”
    I wish this video was available 25 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of time. Excellent lesson, Jack!

    Brother Jack, your humility is so intact, but so is your talent and teaching ability. Making what is difficult become understood and attainable is a quality of a great teacher. You do that well.

  • @MrArtisticals
    @MrArtisticals 11 місяців тому +35

    I love the fact that you name the notes and not „second fret, third string“ etc. 👍 It sinks in quicker and internalises where notes are. 🎸

      @RayyanKesnan 8 місяців тому +2

      This. I'm so happy about that. I hate when people talk fret numbers that's not how you think when playing and it really gets irritating.

    I've been enjoying your videos for awhile but this one is the best I've seen so far - at least for where I'm at currently. I especially liked the part at the end where you played over the progression highlighting the root, then third, then fifth - it really brought the concept of the lesson home. Thanks for explaining this so clearly!

    Jack, this rings so true. I spent so much time trying to find the scale I could play over everything! I wish someone had told me this when I was a beginner. It took me years to realise thinking scales alone wasn’t the best way.

    This video is exactly what I needed! I grew up playing wind instruments and taking music classes so I know a lot of music theory and all these other guitar teachers have been confusing me because they teach with students that have little to no theory knowledge in mind.
    Thank you for making this video, and I definitely plan to view more of your content!

  • @michaelm932
    @michaelm932 Рік тому +36

    I don't know how many times I've heard "target the chord tones" and "aim to land on the third of the next chord" without truly understanding what was meant, but this is the first time I've heard it articulated in such a way that I've actually understood it 🙂
    I'm going to have to buy your course now...

    I got a lot out of this lesson. Finally I have an appreciation for triads and how to use them. I have difficulty calculating the third and fifth but now knowing what I can do with them I will be motivated to figure out each triad and closer to remembering each. Thanks for this lesson.

    Jack, I couldn’t agree more with the comments already made about your amazing teaching skills. I have been playing over 50 years, mostly jazz now, but I never enjoyed lessons more than the ones you have posted to UA-cam… like this one. Your explanations are articulate, deliberate and slow, and very clear. I have picked several gems about improvisation soloing from you. Please continue to do this and I…as well as others I am sure… will be happy to support your work via your paid services. I’m signing up today! Thanks again. Best wishes.

    So many players I respect talk about the importance of triads...but no one has put out lessons with the clarity and thoroughness of Jack's new course. Knowing triads well enough to improvise a melody you create in your head is one of the biggest guitar thrills I ever had.

Thank you for making your lessons clear, simple and understable for a simpleton like me.

Like you, I came into it not really knowing how to teach or what to expect, but like you said, it's all trial by error. Onward and upward!

    The whole melody is inside the notes of the chords, beautifully explained most learner's are lost in playing lead because of lack of this fundamental knowledge for many years I too was lost because in those days there were no guitarists whom to consult and we were just rythm players. This video is the best explanation of how to play melody for those who can't read notations.

I can almost see a map right on your fretboard!! Love it man!! LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!
