    Man when I have the money I'm gonna buy your course! You're the most amazing guitar teacher on UA-cam. I can't even tell you how great full I am to you. You don't know how many fake and horrible teachers I've had, how much time I've wasted, this videos really mean so much for me. Since I was a little kid I've always wanted to play guitar

    I've just started doing this but with a chord progression loop as background and that's usually from a song I like to play/jam over. That's sounds logically more musical and when I go back to playing that song, improvising solos gets much more easier and fun so it's a double benefit for me. I don´t think it's as effective as the method you've just described as you practice more focused here but it's more enjoyable for sure.
    I wish I realised how important this is earlier, and the same goes to finding this channel. Really good quality content, makes self teaching way simpler. Thanks for sharing!

    • @MusicTheoryForGuitar
      @MusicTheoryForGuitar  5 років тому +6

      You can totally do this with a backing track is it's more enjoyable, just make sure that every now and then you do a 'dry run' without the track, so make sure that you are not relying on the backing track too much. Thanks for commenting!

    Alright, my guy, you are helping so many people. I've told everyone that rudiment style learning is the way to go and everyone always says they do it, but they fail to understand that you need to start very slow and increase by double speed until you mess up. Forward and backwards, then random. You do a very good job of articulating and demonstrating how one should approach practice. You got a sub, keep it up.

    This exercise is fun and very very helpful. I have all my 5th and 6th string notes down cold and have no problem playing chords in any order, ascending. Descending is a whole different ballgame. Since now I have no root note to help me identify the chord, it really puts my brain into 4th gear to actually trace back the arpeggio to the root note on the 5th or 6th string, all while playing the previous chord. So a word of caution. use only the top strings as most of you already know the patterns ascending.

    • @MusicTheoryForGuitar
      @MusicTheoryForGuitar  5 років тому

      Yes, it's important to learn the notes on the top strings as well, and especially when soloing you should NOT refer to the 5th and 6th strings, but find the notes on the top strings instead.

    • @marcvermeiren4490

      A triad is 3 notes, yes. What is the 4 note then?

    • @tom434911
      @tom434911 2 роки тому

      @@marcvermeiren4490 The fourth note would be an octave of one of the notes of the triad. For example, going from low pitch to higher pitch, a 4 note ascending G major arpeggio would be G-B-D-G. If you were playing an inversion of G major, so the lowest note is the 3rd or 5th instead of the root, it would be B-D-G-B or D-G-B-D.

    Hi :) could You bring me/us closer
    to the Generic Modality Compression issue.(from Mick Goodrick book)
    Two chords,on ii & iii degree of scale,
    with tonic i degree in the lowest voice,right?
    For c ionian it is Dm and Em chords with note c in lowest voice?
    (This is all?)
    And now how can we use this formula musically
    to avoid sounding like ordinary exercises?

  • @CleatSurfer

    Love the idea of this exercise and love your videos.
    I wish someone could please tell me what is wrong with CAGED. It's a very easy concept but seems hard until you get it. But once that happens, you feel like you've finally unlocked the fretboard. CAGED was my transition from just knowing how to play open chord shapes(put your fingers here, here and here) to actually understanding it and having a breakthrough of potential. If I had to think of a limitation, I feel like it created a shortcut to learning the whole fretboard navigating by shape and other references.
    It opened a door for me and I feel like I walked through it and moved on.

    • @MusicTheoryForGuitar
      @MusicTheoryForGuitar  4 роки тому

      Hi Joe. I personally don't like the CAGED system, as I think there are better systems. I made a video series on this a few years ago, you can find it on this very channel. Warning: it IS a controversial topic.

    @HarbingerOfAnarchy Рік тому +1

    3:07 I don't understand, we have to learn the shape of each selected arpeggio, that is, we must already know their shape before we start the exercise? Is it permissible to look at the diagram of selected arpeggios? (just like you allowed to look at the notes, in the video about learning the notes).

    Hi, I wanted to ask. You have 2 courses that sound great, master of the modes and complete chord mastery. I'm very intrested in learning more but could probably take only one of them for now. I wanted to take master of the modes but I really want to work on my rhythm technique also. What whould you suggest?

  • @desider7973
    @desider7973 5 років тому

    How do I know what notes comprise an arpeggio I’m still confused in this I’ve seen other videos explaining patterns and such but I’m still confused on what I should be searching for. Is it just the triad of a particular chord or how is it built??

    • @MusicTheoryForGuitar
      @MusicTheoryForGuitar  5 років тому +1

      Yes, arpeggio and triads are the same thing. The notes in the C major arpeggios are C E G, exactly like the notes in the C major triad. The difference is that when you play an arpeggio you play one note at a time rather than all together. If you need help with the basics, I have a free eBook that may help you here: www.musictheoryforguitar.com/beginningmusictheoryguide.html

    I like it! it's the Mozart method:
    _"Ten minutes of ghastly scales. Arpeggios! Whizzing up and down like fireworks at a fairground."_ But slowly and deliberately while one builds up the skill in the attempt to achieve Mozart like proficiency.

    • @jazznotes3802
      @jazznotes3802 3 роки тому +1

      Texas P Renegade It’s the most popular guitar method to come by for sure and everyone these days seem to be using it. But that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good approach to take.
      You’ll find there’s much better ways to approach the guitar than the CAGED System, if you do some digging.
      Sure, you can make it work, but it has a LOT of limitations and it’s far from a complete system. That’s why most players never use it exclusively!
      I know the CAGED System myself, (inside out) but I’m now moving away from it and using the “Three Note Per String System,” as it’s a complete system within itself.
