I only saw the picture and I’m here to tell you. I discovered this a long time ago, and it changed how I learn dozens of songs.
I just dropped in for a second to comment about that G chord you're playing. I learned guitar back in 1964 from the Beatles (& my dad, who taught me "Ain't She Sweet" & "Georgia Brown"). I learned early on that all of the Beatles covered the B string to play D when playing a G chord. I was soon in a band that covered a lot of Beatles songs & Barb, our girl singer, & I did "I don't Want to Spoil the Party". I played the guitar on that one & realized that that was "The Beatle G", so that's what we called it. Side note: The Beatles called an E7 add sharp 9 the "Hendrix Chord", as in "Purple Haze".
I always get excited saving your videos so that I can learn and practice, practice, practice! Thanks!!
Lmao I feel like the part where it all makes sense is absent, good job on the hustle for engagement, I usually just type a response and delete it, but you got me to post, gj.
I use a simple formula for my students...2T3T(short for 2 tones,semitone,3 tones,semitones).Done!
It will make sense eventually, just not today… 😂 I’ll keep coming back , keep practicing, keep learning. Your vids are a big part of my journey thanks man.
Well done weaving another yarn into your lessons. That's why we're here. 👏
That’s a good way to fill in the clean parts on a maple fretboard!
Thanks! This was a lot of great information, I also enjoyed the jokes tat you threw in along the way!
Sean, Thanks. There's a lot to unpack in this video, but I'm sure it'll be worth the time.
Dude. I am half way in and have connected all the dots. Appreciate you!
Great Technique. I will have to watch it twice.
For new players wondering about string gauge (thickness). Most acoustic guitars ship with 12's (often described by the gauge of the thinnest string). I use 10's because they have a bit less tension and I find them easier to play. However, thicker strings are generally consider better if you want to use a lower tuning (like DADGAD) because the thinner strings start to become a bit too floppy, for want of a better term.
Amazing and awesome lesson my man!
dude, your top knotch when it comes to teaching guitar!
Cuol and rolling on the floor, thank you Sean I really needed that. I was really depressed and in tears earlier, thank you for bringing me out of it! 😊
Another way to see this is realizing standard tuning takes natural notes "BEADGCF" ordered by 4ths/5ths intervals(depending on direction). So standard tuning takes EADGBE, the second note should be C to keep the 4/5 interval relationship, but in order to do barred chords it was turned into a B. In any case this means the standard tuning favors C/G major keys (WWHWWWH) and their relative minor modes A/E (WHWWHWW). F/D major keys with their respective minors D/B are also quite practical with only 1 flat/1 sharp signature. The standard tuning is a compromise between chord (CAGED chords) and keys accessibility (C/G/F/D majors and A/E/D/B minors). While you can play any key and mode in the guitar, it makes sense to play keys/modes where the open strings are already in the key facilitating open chords (thats why to play in other keys is better to use a capo, so you can still use "open" strings)
The package of strings on the bed look like one of those Jack Chick Bible tracts , "This was your Life ." or something like that... I found one on my way home from school in 1st grade , the "Lake of Fire " scene traumatized me . The horror never crossed my mind until then .
Good observation to visualize notes vertically 👍
