That tension problem, I do that just when I start playing scales fast. I mess up more. If for some reason I am totally relaxed and playing scales fast, I hit all the notes perfectly.
My tension usually starts in my jaw and face. If I can relax there the rest of my body tends to follow. I notice that a lot of the time players that play fast look bored almost, with a resting face. Thanks for the lesson and practice tip.
This musician is correct and true. However, unfortunately performance is not always in a good listening environment. Bar rooms dance halls Bar-B-Ques picnics and fishing holes are not always the best for sound quality and often times live performance is an afterthought. There! Now that is some first class WHINING!! 🤣😂😃🎣🎸😳😮😮😳
Four and half minutes of you repeating yourself, is not the best way to hold your audience. The intro should be short and concise. Get into the body of the lesson, this is the part, that your viewers, want to see. Conclusion; a short brief overview of what you have covered. The end
@@wesadams1774 Well Wes, your comment might be valid if I couldn't play, just letting you know, I've been playing for over 50 years. However, my comment, has nothing to do with the playing ability. Also Wes, I have a University Degree in Teaching, Which I obtained in 1982. But, you must understand that, in a video that is under 10 minutes, it would be better to demonstrate the topic, not spend four and a half minutes, on nothing. Thank you Wes, for your comment.
@@colincannings7946 maybe that’s all true but how obnoxious is it to criticize a video they’re putting out for free which is usually behind a pay wall? It’s like someone gives you a free dinner and you tell them how they cooked it wrong.
@@bobsmith-ji2uh a critique, is not criticising! My comments were meant as being helpful. To assist in becoming a better live presenter. As a presenter, on a given topic, there are 3 elements to a presentation; Introduction, the body of information, and the Conclusion.
@@bobsmith-ji2uh It sound like you are an Antagonist! If you don't know what that is, look it up you might learn something. I won't be responding to any further comments. Have a great day!
Zen and The Art of Flatpicking.
Imagine knowing Tony Rice well enough that he nicknames you.. Chris is a fantastic and creative player. Critter and Josh Williams are in my top 5.

Such a great exercise. Boy did this hook me into taking this class. Somebody else on here already said: Zen and the art of flat picking!

Great exercise

This dude's really cool
Awesome.
Too many negative comments. This guy has a fine way of teaching.
Placing accents really helps build technique..
SZ
That's some real beginner shit right there.

You promised us a tune called 'Red Wing', is it hidden in another video?
This makes sense. Gotta stay loose..
Isnt 4 notes per measure a quarter note? Im probably wrong on this.
And playing
Placing accents

There! Now that is some first class WHINING!! 🤣😂😃🎣🎸😳😮😮😳
First strum is at 4:46. Entire first half of the video is ego inflation.
Don’t waste your time with this video much better ones from artist works, it’s just 4 minutes of nonsense and then a beginner exercise
Wayyyy too much talking. 😉
much speaking, but not much saying (5 min speaking only ...repeat,repeat....)
Way too much talking
How much did it cost?
Ok - Double exercises for you! 😁
