When they play a show it doesnt look like work at all, it look s like a guy hanging out with his friends having a great time and making great music.

    • @AchingGibbon450
      @AchingGibbon450 2 роки тому

      Tldr: it’s easier to conceptualise when you’re playing when you’re used to e standard tuning if you don’t think about everything being flatted
      It’s just one of those things a lot of guitarists do, I do it as well if I’m playing in lowered tunings. I can’t speak for everyone but I myself find it easier to conceptualise everything in e standard even if the strings are tuned lower because I did the bulk of my learning in e standard and the relative intervals between the strings are all the same, I always end up tripping over myself mentally if I think about every note being flatted. If I just think about everything in e standard then I still think about and play everything as I normally would, it just comes out of the guitar sounding lower but I don’t have to think about it any differently. This kind of thinking doesn’t apply to alternate tunings like drop d where the intervals between the strings are different but it helps for standard tunings other than e

      @@AchingGibbon450 Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I guess I would have assumed those schooled in music theory would refer to the proper key, but I almost always see it in the key of E (including Guitar Word tabs). I am not far schooled in music theory but I do tend to reference the actual note/root/chord when I do discuss with other people.

      David Sim I'm answering the original question which was how he was playing an f chord on the third fret. The questioner assumed it was standard tuning thus "if the root is on the E or the A string then doesn't he have to play it from the 1st or the 9th fret respectively?" You are correct in the notes that make up an fmaj7 chord, but that however doesn't inform the original question how he is able to for a few shape on the third fret. :)

      in this video, yes... he is droning the d ( usually in standard an E ) and playing the pentatonic below it using standard tuning. You see this when he talks about " D " and then drones the low string as im sure you are referencing. I will note that i only watched it once so my observation assumes some things ( did not look at the fret notes below the dropped E string ) your observation that the lowest string is tuned to open D is correct. :)

    I like Plini. I own some of his albums and watched this video, and others. But his mindset is wrong. He thinks his progressive influences outshine the influences that he started out with. Nothing will ever beat jazz and the blues. Don’t overthink it. Jam. New age guitar players don’t know how to jam.
