Thanks man! I love these improv lessons. For me that’s what the instrument is all about. Free flowing musical meditation. And this lesson helps me step out of blues territory for a spell. ❤️
Celtic noodles while noodling! 🎸🎸 I am in total agreement with you. I am really good at noodling, in fact it is my favorite pass time. The purpose is to play hours and hours without learning a single thing and not progress at all. I have done this for years and I haven’t made a hint of improvement. I believe that over the years I became a master noodler. I am extremely modest in claiming that I am really good at it. 🎸🎸
Thank you so much for this vid, I've watched all your spanish videos and of course I still have much to learn and practice. I would love to see more videos around celtic music. Please!
Even the old bards used the pentatonic scale. I love playing the old world music when my Pantera and Lamb of God tires out and I'm just sitting up randomly at 3 in the morning I grab my old nylon or steel and play stuff like this just letting my fingers do the thinking noodling is a great way to find what your looking for even if you didn't know you were
Asaf has such a great channel. Proof-positivie that people shouldn't get hung up on politics and origins when it comes to music. What a teacher, and a laid-back dude to boot. My blood is Celtic, as is my (real) name, and Asaf delivers it perfectly, even though his blood isn't. Music really does unite us ALL. It's about the only thing in the world that does. Excellent job as always, Asaf. What a great guitar player you are.
Interesting.....just goes to show the connections between Celtic music and the music of North Africa and even India etc. However to really expand this sort of playing I’ve found DADGAD is probably the closest tuning for Celtic tunes. But that would take many tutorials! Many thanks for your lessons....I always enjoy them.
In the of E MAJOR/C#minor in standard tuning on the guitar Sounds Beautiful.. becuase you can drone off of the 4 outside strings. A is 4 th of E.....B is the 5th of E....PURE TONEs.. If you know music theory a little bit..it'll help. Keys are just PITCH..if you're familar with the FRETBOARD. and know The C MAJOR/Amin Just pretend the NUT/CAPO is @ the 4th FRET.... You can also barr completely across the 2nd and 4th FRET F# dorian ( F# min7 add4 or F# minor pantatonic) G# phry ( G# min7 add4 or G# min Pentatonic) or to get familar...you can play DIADS on the middle 2 strings against the OPEN 4 outside strings ( DRONE). in 4th... example D#,4 ( locrian)..E, 4 ion...F#,4 G#,4...A, #4 ( Lydian) Lydian is the only #4...out of all the modes. in the MAJOR scale. or you can make INCOMPLETE BARR CHORDs As if ROOT is on Low E string example...the F# min , G# min A Maj , B Maj. With the three outside strings ringing.....E x..x. x..B E As if ROOT is on the A string or make in complete barr of the C# min..E A..x..x..x.E or the D maj7 or E maj7 , or A maj7 ( inverted C# min) The D Maj7 shape would simply be ( inverted F# min) YOu can play the D maj7, dominant , dim or Augmented as variation of the N6 Try play the C# sus 2...Barr chord shape against the open A and E The D NOTE is (N6) C# Harmonic min b2...Melodic min b2... Example...play the C# sus2...less the ROOT with the open High E. Then play the D note on the A string..against it.. Using the C# melodic min as a Guide.... Play the F# MAJ diad...(on 4th fret...D string..) Play the D note below it...D Aug...against the open B and E string... Then play the C note..( C, b5, .b7)...you can also play C ,3, b7 It's be part of C Loc b4 ...of C melodic min ... if you stack the D# note ( A string 6th fret) below F# Maj daid.. It'll just be notes from D# dorian b2 of C# melodic min Or you can play the D# as a minor chord.... B Maj7 is the INVERTED of D# minor.. in other words....play F# , 3, 6. b7 ( notes from the F# lydian dominant) The b7 is the OPEN High E note.... to E MAJOR or C# minor...chords...you'll see it'll still harmonize or sound smooth....pretty. or play D #4, b6..against the open B , E string.. Or you can simply....Play the C as the b6 of E Harmonic MAJOR... You'll get use to it..... They're all chords....easy on the Fingers...A beginner can make. Knowing music theory helps make guitar playing EASIER.lol apply the same concept...in D min/F MAJOR. You can play 5 strings open (expect the B string) Move every UP ONE FRET...... You'll have to play Notes on the B string...The C note is the b7 of D min.. or 5th of F MAJOR
Leonard Cohen’s use of middle eastern instruments and pentatonic scales inspired me to learn about my own ancestral music (Irish/Celtic) and I’m noticing the similarities between Celtic and Eastern music too. Really interesting, all those ancient styles of music sound so hypnotic and mysterious.
Hii cn u make tutorials on tap nd slap technique from beginning nd also through the song. Cause I've been watching u from a long time & i must tell u i found u one of the best instructor on u2be thats why i have trust on u that you'll help me
Is it slapping the beat when you need to slap and to pick a note at the same time?! Over loads of time I’ve been able to master pretty much any technique I’ve set my mind to, but that is causing me sooooooooo much trouble. I’ve got a funny feeling there’s a video about that on this channel somewhere, but if there is then I’ll have seen it and it clearly wasn’t effective. I’d love to see him do one now at the height of his powers!!!
i'm still trying to teach myself my music theory and i don't have an instrument to practice on yet so i'm not sure i fully understand everything, however as i was listening to what was noodled my mind kept thinking of the legend of zelda wind waker title theme, is that an accurate example of celtic style music?
noodling gets a bad rap, but its just a misunderstanding of the term. can u please do a picking tutorial for Celtic music? I don't do finger style. and something with other Celtic modes
@@jaceri139 I thought the same, however this is just some friendly advice for other videos and songs as well, hearing the entirety of the song through bits and pieces of play is troublesome, a small segment of play at the start somehow always motivates me to learn a piece, much like in the video he did with Sweet child of mine
What is the rhythm technique you mentioned in the start of the video? Flen? Playing the two strings one after the other, quickly. Sorry, couldn’t make out what you said.
Why don't you demo what you play before explaining ? Nobody wants to watch a video lesson without knowing the result of the whole thing. Besides nice lesson !
As a stummer I am intrigued with this picking ... I teach veterans with PTSD how to learn chords and some strumming ... I can add this to my time with them ,... TYVM .... check out GuitarsForVets.Org ....
Your music sucks... (That's a lie), the best thing that you do is get those dogs to sit there and take this punishment... (Another lie). So much love and respect for what you do here on UA-cam... (That's not a lie).
Noodling and being rude are not the same. Please think more specifically. Also, commanding people usually only clarifies that you might have done better to keep it to yourself.
The dog wants to say something , really serious
Omg haha,That's what I thought!!
That bad tick was by mistake. I like it.
He is waiting for his turn but the guy won’t stop talking.
Thanks man! I love these improv lessons. For me that’s what the instrument is all about. Free flowing musical meditation. And this lesson helps me step out of blues territory for a spell. ❤️
Just been on a 2000 mile roadtrip round all of Scotland, this will keep the memories glowing until I can return.
i now see the next 3 years of learning ahead of me lol, this was amazing and thank you:)
Best line of this video -"imagine green fields"
Yr dog's like.."who dafaq he talkin to?"🤣

Your music is soothing to your dogs.
What a beautiful sounding guitar.. 😍
Truly beautiful 🌹
I took one of my guitars and tuned it High to Low EBEEBE. Good for this and also sitar-like sounds.
GGDGGD is another great drone tuning. Very eastern sounding.
Ooo this is awesome!!!
Your puppies are so precious ❤❤❤ great tutorial. Thank you.

Today i learned something new... Been your fan for long time
Thank you.
Very fun, simple, and educational. Just what i needed today. Great little joy exercise between all the scales and complicated stuff :)
I love this, so cool, thank you!
Fantastic was able to follow along and get what you were teaching almost immediately. Many blessings 🙏
Great! Keep up the good work!
Third time watching the video all the way through, just noticed the second dog.
Awesome tutorial my man, cheers for the help!
Great lessons here, and you gotta love the dogs!

Yeah and they charge less than you for their prestations, and make more children. I think we can put intelligent southerners like asaf in your place.
Thanks for introducing the topic again!
Great stuff! Thanks something for the couch tonight.
I also make that face when I tune up a string :D. Nice intro and good lesson!
that dog really loves you
Such wonderful lessons brother. Thank you
I think throwing in Mixolydian (same scale except D instead of D#) will also sound cool.
I'm diggin your vibe.
beautiful. thank you.
Love it
That is a great sound. Thanks
Came across this by accident, love it man. Great lesson

But that would take many tutorials! Many thanks for your lessons....I always enjoy them.
Emlyn Griffith
Why any tutorials? Just change the tuning to DADGAD use the 2 finger Flam technique and go exploring.
In the of E MAJOR/C#minor in standard tuning on the guitar Sounds Beautiful..
becuase you can drone off of the 4 outside strings.
A is 4 th of E.....B is the 5th of E....PURE TONEs..
If you know music theory a little bit..it'll help.
Keys are just PITCH..if you're familar with the FRETBOARD.
and know The C MAJOR/Amin
Just pretend the NUT/CAPO is @ the 4th FRET....
You can also barr completely across the 2nd and 4th FRET
F# dorian ( F# min7 add4 or F# minor pantatonic)
G# phry ( G# min7 add4 or G# min Pentatonic)
or to get familar...you can play DIADS on the middle 2 strings
against the OPEN 4 outside strings ( DRONE).
in 4th...
example D#,4 ( locrian)..E, 4 ion...F#,4 G#,4...A, #4 ( Lydian)
Lydian is the only #4...out of all the modes. in the MAJOR scale.
or you can make INCOMPLETE BARR CHORDs
As if ROOT is on Low E string
example...the F# min , G# min A Maj , B Maj.
With the three outside strings ringing.....E x..x. x..B E
As if ROOT is on the A string
or make in complete barr of the C# min..E A..x..x..x.E
or the D maj7 or E maj7 , or A maj7 ( inverted C# min)
The D Maj7 shape would simply be ( inverted F# min)
YOu can play the D maj7, dominant , dim or Augmented
as variation of the N6
Try play the C# sus 2...Barr chord shape against the open A and E
The D NOTE is (N6) C# Harmonic min b2...Melodic min b2...
Example...play the C# sus2...less the ROOT with the open High E.
Then play the D note on the A string..against it..
Using the C# melodic min as a Guide....
Play the F# MAJ diad...(on 4th fret...D string..)
Play the D note below it...D Aug...against the open B and E string...
Then play the C note..( C, b5, .b7)...you can also play C ,3, b7
It's be part of C Loc b4 ...of C melodic min ...
if you stack the D# note ( A string 6th fret) below F# Maj daid..
It'll just be notes from D# dorian b2 of C# melodic min
Or you can play the D# as a minor chord....
B Maj7 is the INVERTED of D# minor..
in other words....play F# , 3, 6. b7 ( notes from the F# lydian dominant)
The b7 is the OPEN High E note....
to E MAJOR or C# minor...chords...you'll see it'll still harmonize
or sound smooth....pretty.
or play D #4, b6..against the open B , E string..
Or you can simply....Play the C as the b6 of E Harmonic MAJOR...
You'll get use to it.....
They're all chords....easy on the Fingers...A beginner can make.
Knowing music theory helps make guitar playing EASIER.lol
apply the same concept...in D min/F MAJOR.
You can play 5 strings open (expect the B string)
Move every UP ONE FRET......
You'll have to play Notes on the B string...The C note is the b7 of D min..
or 5th of F MAJOR

Great lesson! Good dog!
Loved the lesson man, any chance you could do a video on a celtic/Irish jig?
Excellent lesson as always ♥️

the dog liked this tune lol
Miles 970 animals love the pentatonic scale actually
Great lesson , thank you!
As an Irishman who plays no celtic music I'm hoping this will be good!
Ty
That sound really intresting and nice !! definitly try that later ;) thak you Assaf :)
I love your dog.
Nice
Really cool !
My friend can you play a cry for Glencree by the O/Neill Brothers?

Nice! The Dog's a Scot, for sure!
i'm still trying to teach myself my music theory and i don't have an instrument to practice on yet so i'm not sure i fully understand everything, however as i was listening to what was noodled my mind kept thinking of the legend of zelda wind waker title theme, is that an accurate example of celtic style music?
That's a cool looking guitar, never seen that brand before.
Cool. Is this in standard tuning?
as Standard Tuning as it gets
Thank You !
Every youtube video is better with a sleepy dog in the background
Can you tell me about the scale?
Also Can you teach us Soft Stuff by Earl Klugh that would be Awesome!
the dog can fall asleep at any time
Beautiful. תודה
This is really cool. Do you have the complete tabs for a sample that shows this off for good finger practice?
B mixolydian Scale :) if the root is B bub. You’re in the key of B not E.
Nice session. Hey, what guitar brand/model is that?
It's "Faith Guitar" brand. Took me a bit of searching . www.connollymusic.com/faith-guitars-usa
It’s a Faith. Model « Mercury »
cdog thanks for the effort 👍🏼
I'm trying with finger but it doesn't sound right but I can take a pick and down strum the two strings and it sounds good can you play it this way?
Thnx man ,was looking for Celtic guitar for quite a time now,got interesting ideas..would be better, I think if you tune it in Dadgad.cheers
Por favor agreaga la opcion de dubtitulos en español genio!!!
noodling gets a bad rap, but its just a misunderstanding of the term. can u please do a picking tutorial for Celtic music? I don't do finger style. and something with other Celtic modes
Good morning, could you do a tutorial of the song "the miracle of love" of the band Eurythmics? Thank you very much in advance!
Couch, dog, me, guitar lesson
Dogs. Plural.
@@SunOfTheia lessons also. Sorry.
Love it.
Would love it if you can play what you are going to teach at the start of the video, so we can know if we want to learn it.
Theragie 09 i think he’s just teaching you the basic style and wants you to take it wherever you’d like to hear it to go and get creative
@@jaceri139 I thought the same, however this is just some friendly advice for other videos and songs as well, hearing the entirety of the song through bits and pieces of play is troublesome, a small segment of play at the start somehow always motivates me to learn a piece, much like in the video he did with Sweet child of mine
What is the rhythm technique you mentioned in the start of the video? Flen? Playing the two strings one after the other, quickly. Sorry, couldn’t make out what you said.
Flam :)
Flam ok thank you
the dog was sleepy all the time
My eyes was just at the dog
i want somebody to look at me how his lab looks at him
I believe it's flam, not flem. Great lesson. Please pet the dog.
Do more on celtic music please. Easier versions?
If the word OK was pound notes you would be a very rich man.
Ok is a lot shorter than... do you all understand what I am explaining here? 😂😂
Why don't you demo what you play before explaining ? Nobody wants to watch a video lesson without knowing the result of the whole thing. Besides nice lesson !
The night kings theme from game of thrones please
Honestly this is a little more difficult than it looks
Your bid dog is hanging on every word and note. The other one is not interested at all. lol. Nice video
What word is he saying?... flem?.... phlegm?.... like mucus? How is this spelled?
okay?
Uhm sounds good but like i have no idea bout music theory so yeah. 🤷
As a stummer I am intrigued with this picking ... I teach veterans with PTSD how to learn chords and some strumming ... I can add this to my time with them ,... TYVM .... check out GuitarsForVets.Org ....

Ur weird as shit
@@YashSharma-fm9sp bro u r funny.....😂
@@YashSharma-fm9sp Thanks for making me laugh. I just love the LickNRiff channel so much. Dogs on the couch make it even better for me.
Starts to sound Arabic if you play that note too much.
Stop telling people to noodle. They show up at band rehearsals and excessively & without fail noodle over the top of everyone. This epidemic must end.
Noodling and being rude are not the same. Please think more specifically. Also, commanding people usually only clarifies that you might have done better to keep it to yourself.
