Another thing that helped me was singing the names of the notes as I play them. It made me memorise where all the notes are, so I don't have to rely exclusively on shapes.
I’m 61 and 2 years into teaching myself with help from many university of UA-cam instructors. I appreciate how you jump to it. Too many imho like to show their playing skills before getting to teaching anything. I don’t know if it’s A.D.D. or impatience but I get bored and want information. You sir deliver the goods and quickly too. I only found you today and Im looking forward to your style of teaching.
The down 1 string plus 7 to find the same note rule is so handy for a beginner, I’d love to know more quick easy little things like that because they’re easy to remember and give me starting points for understanding the larger concepts.
This is the kind of material that anyone trying to figure out where to start guitar, needs!! .
I say this in reference to material that comes from a legit source such as yourself Sean. It helps us feel like we're actually learning something properly because of YOU.
Thank you Sean, for these videos!!
Hey thanks so much!
This is a diamond amongst the chaff of scales' videos! Would love to see the one about the B string.
The slide created by starting the minor third on the next string rather than reaching on the same makes for a much more melodic sound. Never thought of it that way. The demonstration really made me cognizant of that.
You have that way of making the concepts come alive and in play in a very natural way. Thanks for that! Great lesson!
Thanks so much!
You the man Sean! Great learning video. I almost get it. Will watch it again and again.
Great lesson. You make it understandable, in a musical way, and slow enough to see what ur playing and time to absorb the info. love it. Same thing on all of the rest of the major's please.
Incredibly useful, simple, elegant and sooooo on track to build upon with infinite variations - thanks 😊
Thank you man! Things should be simplified and practiced like this. Dont stop!
thanks. I learned a lot. you are the man
I think even if I didn’t play guitar I would still watch this dude. I just like how excited Sean is about music. It’s infectious.
Excellent Sean. Another tasty tidbit to advance with.
Thanks for scales lesson! Appreciated.
Terrific lesson, Sean. A much more interesting approach than routine learning of scales.
Wow!! Great video Sean 👏🏻👏🏻loads of information, loads of light bulb moments, loads of things to practice… I will indeed binge in scale activities at the week end… keep these coming dude ❤️
Setting up your own guitar is soooo cathartic! A small investment in basic tools and some good instructional vids made a HUGE difference in my long neglected acoustic! Now I feel like Im a part of my axe and vice versa. Do it!
Ok , i just started looking into the big repeating patterns and how that relates to the scales. With that being said now im looking at the setup scale formations ,trying to figure how to implement it into my playing. Now im looking for the repeating patterns in the different modes lol. My guitar journey has been the last maybe four years, but always had a guitar in my possession, without knowing a damn thing about it. I am getting better in time. Thanks for all you do Sean, Merry Christmas
Oh by the way I'm a granny at 60ish. 😂
Thank you
You break it down so that even I can understand it.
I love this thank you, i cant do bar chords so the caged system feels very difficult for me😢
Happy to help!
Hey Sean. Long time watcher, first time commenter! Thank you for a video like this. For whatever reason this video sparked my inspiration and understanding. Very well said, layer out, and shown. It really made a difference for me atleast. Thank you 🤙🤙
Happy to help!
I was about to write something very similar, if not word for word....thanks man
I thought I heard you state that in the key of G, if you start on the vi it equates to a mode. Is that correct? If so, could you do a video explaining how modes come about? Perhaps with you tacking on to this video with that topic I might be able to finally get modes as well. Your teaching has helped me a lot. Again, thanks Sean
Thanks for another great video .. I really liked that you used the word “panache” it’s my new word for today .. Yes your video today had panache !
Word of the day!
Music Nomad is the Snap On of guitar tools. Very well made and engineered and pricey.
I've been breaking the B string wall after realizing that if you keep the string pairs thing going like at 2:50, but you go down 3 more frets on the B and high E strings, the same note pattern is found. 🤯 Looking at the fret board framed in string pairs has made me see the note patterns much clearer and get to the point of knowing locations of all the notes.
Great lesson
Thank u.
Remember Saigon Kick's The Lizard 🦎... The lizard is very scaly. Sean is the David Spade of guitar tutors. So many throw away jokes, as they say in the business.
🙏 Thanks 🙏
haha, I'll take it!
I suck with the B and high E strings. So when I “try to” solo. I just play the top 4 strings like a bassist. I play bass as well. That’s where I stand currently in terms of soloing and sounding musical
I have a question. So, you say to find the next note, add 7? I went from the "F note" on the first string and added 7, but that's not another F note. The next F note is on the 13th fret of the low E.
What am I missing? Please explain.
I have only been playing since September 23rd.
First! Great lesson! I’m getting your Patreon for X-Mass
I love it! Thanks so much :)
Immo check out that setup kit.
Hey Sean, do you recommend a specific drum track to use for this?
great talking i always have trouble with fast too the next note with my picking hand
Why is you g mj scale closed and have no open strings?
Damn the B string, save the empire!
“Even if you went to public school you should know that”. 😂😂
B string please!
More Boss Bakes.
haha I think my baking days are behind me
😂traditional confusing speak!! Yes
You get me!
"...Scale activity ". The most blandl explanation of music ever?
Congrats you do fine work Today appears to be coming from the boarder of exhaustion.
No love for public schools.....c'mon man!
