Learn how to incorporate some drum rudiments into your guitar playing. You'll see how paradiddles and 6 stroke rolls can be used in strumming and picking patterns.
I really like how you always come up with a witty intro for every video, and the fact that you say it with a straight face is just too great. I predict you'll have reach 100k in January, so remember this comment when you do.
The fingerpicking part sounded so much like Foo Fighters' Everlong! And it makes so much sense with Dave Growl being a drummer! Thanks a lot for this lesson!
Funny you mention that because I noticed the exact same thing while shooting the video and almost mentioned Everlong specifically. Thanks for watching!
Great topic! One of my teachers in Denmark used this though in a different way! Really like the strumming ideas, I am going to mess around with that a bit :)
The blinkers have been removed " I have seen the light" ! Good Video. Thanks for the Tips. After 45 years messing about with no rhythm ability you have given a good way to rectify that issue, actually it's more of a disaster. Thank you Sir Keep up the great work "KEEP ON KEEPING ON"
Paradiddle is actually RLRRLRLL if you are right handed and it's like in the video (LRLLRLRR) if you are a lefty, still a very cool video and I too, have found it very interesting to apply drumming into guitar playing as I was already a drummer before ı picked up a guitar
Keep up the great videos ! Definitely one of the premier guitar teachers on UA-cam. Just discovered your videos today ! New favorite guitar channel. thanks for the knowledge.
I'm not sure how I found your channel but boy am I'm glad I did. Strumming is the most challenging aspect of guitar playing for me. I hear what you're saying but incorporating it is difficult. Please continue this series. Maybe taking a few song examples, and dissecting them? Anyway, thanks for the lessons.
Cool!! There are some methods, for example Ciro Plateroti's Book of Movements, which deals with movement patterns, paradiddles, palindromes, counterpoints, etc. They are often used by bassists, pianists and drummers, I am a percussionist and I use it too, this type information is wonderful! Thanks a lot!
It’s funny that you have this video. I’m a trained Indian classical percussionist and I bring all my roll patterns to the rhythm. Most people don’t realize it’s just getting better at drums and beats! P.S. knowing drums beats helps with dancing too! Re: salsa.
All instruments including the human voice are percussion instruments. You hit the guitar strings with a pick. Inside the piano hammers hit the strings. Air hits the reed in wind instruments and your voice box works by air hitting and vibrating it. Once you think of your instrument as a percussion instrument and apply percussive techniques, your playing will be way better.
when I win the lottery I'm building a big ass music house and I'm moving Sean in there and making him my personal guitar and music teacher !!! so you better grab him up and take em home before I do.LOL.UR AWESOME SEAN MAN!!!!$!!!!
🤣😂 the “Most important lesson” Do not to leave your girl alone with the drummer lmao Truly delightful 😇 (working on the rhythm skills I lack) to come into this lesson a little nervous 😟 but then see it all disappear (mostly) approaching it with a smile lol
Great video Sean! it's a very good help! PD: I recently feel like i am lost in the way to create ideas for solos, can you do a video about that please? :D (Greattings from Argentina)
Sean Daniel Drums were my first accomplished instrument. When I picked up the guitar again (after quitting almost immediately), I applied everything without even thinking about it, I never thought about rudiments. I just did all the same things in the frets that I did on the kit. People's jaws used to drop and THEN I told them I wasn't playing a year. Great lesson! My drum teacher used to rant about how other musicians don't take rhythm anywhere near serious enough! Listen to the Beatles The Word! Rock music didn't happen because drummers were playing along to guitar player. Rock music happened when Guitar players started playing like drummers! Rock guitar IS PERCUSSION! If you can't start on piano, start on drums.
Hey sean, i'm better at the drums than the guitar and i've always thought that applying the rudiments to others instruments is a really nice idea to make nice riffs and a great rudiment for the finger/hybrid picking technique is the flam and the drag, like the swiss army triplet being a great example of it, take it a try and see what comes out ;) and by the way what's your opinion on Tool?, i'ts my favorite band :D, greetings from mexico :p
Oh man I LOVE Tool. I remember when Lateralus came out I was in high school and it changed my life musically. I wish they'd put some new stuff out every decade or so though. :)
+Sean Daniel hahahahaha yesss, lateralus is my favorite album and parabola one of my favorite songs, i know it on drums as the palm of my hand, how great to know that you're a tool fan just as me :p
Also, six stroke roll is RLLRRL (LRRLLR if you are a lefty) with the first and the last hits accented. The thing you did in the video was just straight up 16th note triplets with the first hit accented. Again no offense against you or your vdieos, I like the content in this channel
Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to annotate that. That was the way somebody showed me way back in the day and I have always been calling it wrong without knowing! As for the paradiddles I actually am a lefty but learned to play guitar right handed. Thanks again man!
Debangshu Paul Learn to play percussion techniques using both hands doing a different pattern. That will get your brain able to do two things at once.v
I used to drum and technically as I remember it, there's no such thing as a 6 stroke roll, there's 5,9 and 13? Not being a troll just saying , to me that's a sextuplets? Interesting concept though
You're right on! I think I may have annotated it, but yeah the person who taught me called it a 6 stroke roll so I've always mistakenly called it that too. I need to stop saying that :)
I really like how you always come up with a witty intro for every video, and the fact that you say it with a straight face is just too great. I predict you'll have reach 100k in January, so remember this comment when you do.
agree
Thanks so much! I'll hold you to it ;)
amazing, out of the ordinary, & most importantly- highly usable ideas.
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming!

Thank you Sir
Keep up the great work "KEEP ON KEEPING ON"
As mentioned in another one of your videos, your holistic approach connecting techniques of different instruments is quite unique and very insightful.
Thanks so much, I'll keep em coming!
Great lesson Sean. Thank you.

straight to the point. good vid
Thanks for watching!

Happy to help Kelvin!
I've never seen a better blend of intellect and talent.So glad I stumbled across your channel.
You're making me blush :) Thanks for watching!
"never leave your girlfriend with the drummer" - that made my day! :D
#truth
sounds like you've been hurt before Sean...
Savage
But it's ok with the bass player.
@@robcreel4257 Not always, us bass players are good with using our fingers. And if you are also a guitarist then it means you also know how to play.
Amazing...after all these years THANKS
Great idea! Never thought of that, now I will practice paradiddles on the guitar as well :)
You must have read my mind Sean! I’ve Been doing some stick work to help me understand and improve my guitar rhythm! Great minds and all that?!! 😎✌️
You know it!
Down up down down up down up up. Sounds like a video game cheat code.
I'm not sure how I found your channel but boy am I'm glad I did. Strumming is the most challenging aspect of guitar playing for me. I hear what you're saying but incorporating it is difficult.

For sure, I should have another strumming video coming out in the next few days hopefully!
you know what they call a guy who likes to hang around with musicians?...a drummer...wah wah wah!
Hey oh!
GRockBlues Ironically that is usually the complete opposite of truth. How many lead guitar players couldn't play clave to save their life.
jack strada ummm... beginner guitarist here, the hell is a clave?
Amazing lesson, keep up the good work!
Thanks Averil, I'll try :)
I really like your videos...they are different from a lot of other content. Well done and thanks :)
Thanks so much I'll keep em coming!
Hey! I really enjoy your videos. Your various thoughts and associations between instruments definitely provides interesting insight. Thank you!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

you are a genius i play both instruments will defo apply this
Great video and ideas!
Thanks for watching!
I loved this video! thanks for the ideas
No prob! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, loved it 😎🎸
Happy to help Elvis!
Good video, thank you 👏
Good one. And thanks for the warning.
No prob!
Another great video, thanks. Liked & commented as always.
That's awesome, I appreciate it!
Dude.
Good show.
You're a Kool Kat.
Please more videos like this one.please
Will do my man!
You could use some Foo Fighters songs to demonstrate this in a real world example. Dave Grohl applies a lot of his drummer mind to his guitar playing.
Great idea!
All instruments including the human voice are percussion instruments. You hit the guitar strings with a pick. Inside the piano hammers hit the strings. Air hits the reed in wind instruments and your voice box works by air hitting and vibrating it.

Fantastic!

Yeah buddy! As long as I don't have to dress like a butler :)
🤣😂 the “Most important lesson” Do not to leave your girl alone with the drummer lmao Truly delightful 😇 (working on the rhythm skills I lack) to come into this lesson a little nervous 😟 but then see it all disappear (mostly) approaching it with a smile lol
Definitely do your best to follow that rule.
I like to use paradiddle on left hand scalar motifs too..
Paradiddles are always a good call.
Great video Sean! it's a very good help! PD: I recently feel like i am lost in the way to create ideas for solos, can you do a video about that please? :D (Greattings from Argentina)
Thanks Agustin. Definitely will do a few more solo vids soon!
we want More!!!!!!
Working on it :)
ok great lesson.......... : )
Thanks for watching!
Oh dude! You are giving our secrets away! Drummers make the best guitar and bass players. Just ask Paul McCartney!
It's been a secret too long!
Sean Daniel

Tricknologyinc All music and all instruments are percussion.
Can you please do more drum rudiments video guitar please??? Please do it.
Great idea :)
Can you do one on how to solo/ create licks
I'll put it on the list!
Sean Daniel Thank you Sean
I second this!

My pleasure, I should thank you for uploading great videos
This is interesting
Thanks for checking it out!
The last bit reminds me a Smiths song?
Total coincidence. They're great though.
3:44 sounds like the rhythm to everlong
Basically all foo fighters songs
Just tapping the damn para-diddle on my thighs is confusing.
I know right? You wouldn't think it'd be so hard at first. Just stick with it though because I think it's a pretty valuable thing to practice.
theres much more thn just this.......
A six-stroke roll is RLLRRL
Feal like targeting single notes is definitely the way to go. 😂 the full strum sounds really bad.
You look like pewdiepie in the thumbnail
About your chennal Green day woyld say "Awesome as f×ck" . I find it very difficult to sing along playing. Can you help me?
Definitely will have a video on that soon!

I'm not sold on this idea at all
