Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Jimi Hendrix will use this logic, think of how Cortez the Killer or Purple Haze gives a feel without setting on a chord❤

Definitely look at applying Barry Harris's approach techniques transposed for Guitar, for enhancing this too

comfy

Segovia had fingers like a plate of sausages so why does this geezer have to have digits like an oran utan just to shame we klutzos?

My pinky hurts

Thank you for the cool & friendly attitude. This makes me want to hang out and jam. Great lesson, too! We want more videos like this! Take it easy brother 🎸

I’m only a month in and I can play hotel California, I know it’s strange way to gauge my progress but I think it’s impressive 😂 Anyway thanks for this video man I really needed to see this

ew what a hideous guitar. Decent tips though lolz.

BS information

Great lesson, Matt. Thanks!

Great stuff, would be nice to a slowed down version when you show the licks

Thanks man. Vids like this are like little guitar snacks. Small bites, easily digestible. Much appreciated

The first thing I heard was you played the minor 3rd lick. Was Dolly Parton '9 to 5' I'm sure that's played over the Gb Major (Tonic) If I just imagined that, then I'm sure it would fit nicely lol I have been messing around with this. And another song i'm familiar with, is 'Holly Jolly Christmas' the Michael Buble version. The Solo Section is full of these, Mixing the minor 3rd with the Major 3rd, sliding into it ect Really cool discoveries

2:10 Where Eagles Dare by The Misfits?

Very helpful , thanks

Nice!! Thanks!!!

Just teach them the Nashville 7 number system. Problem solved. (and use a clip on tuner to learn the notes by letter)

Are those switches coil splits? Probably the coolest mods I've seen on an HSH strat.

I went on a wild goose chase with this over the weekend, was fun and frustrating as I kept forgetting what my last grouping start note was. It then got me into 3 note groupings, then 5, then 6. Kind of overwhelmed myself as I liked them all for various reasons but my new stuff bucket is kind of full 😮

I've been doing this subconsciously the last year or two. Probably just got bored playing chords the normal way. Learning CAGED helped a lot ... started playing chords without changing position in order to help me better connect with the chords in lead lines. Well the next logical step was to just start throwing in harmonies on lead lines ... and the next step to that was to throw in melodies on rhythm lines.

Noice

Can u make a video of how to make robotic scale playing to musical phasing I just learned pentatonic and blues scale. playing with backing track and noodleing around. It always sounds robotic scale playing. Alot of ppl advice to just noodle around it will get better. I get their point .but my problem is i dont know if im progressing or not.

This dude is awesome

Excellent!

Great lesson

Can you do a lesson on this jazz standard ❤

I need to use the timer, badly. Have gotten pretty loose the last few days with losing track. Had 90mins pre work today that was hijacked by me harmonising the E major scale. Yes, was a great in the clouds experience and I leveraged a heap of hybrid picking out of it but I got nothing else done and it's been happening a bit more often than ideal. Video was a good revisit of the canvas principles and timely reminder about being timely 😮

you should definitely make a video about chord connectors. what I mean is how to practice and play little melody lines in between the chords. Lets say we have a IV-V-iii-vi chord progression and we dont want to just strum through it but also to add some notes in between - and to voice lead them properly (the most difficult thing ever). To me it seems very difficult - because it requires extensive knowledge of the fretboard

I've found myself just taking one small thing in a song I'm working on and trying to change that. Similar concept to what you were saying. If I can play a tune for 10 minutes a day and add one new thing everyday then in a month I have 30 new things I can play over it. All of this really adds up and consistency is key!

This guy's fingers are long as hell

that's not harmony that's melody. the guitar line sitting on b flat is sitting there so someone else in the band can take the lead lol. sounds great for a solo, duo, trio thing tho.

ur the goat for this

this shit was rad

Good you Dad is doing well. Cancer has touched all most everyone's life. You dont have to shave it lol you can leave a little hair..

And that’s what we do, my man! The journey never ends.

Great content!!!😊

I mean I think you're spot on at the beginning. You aren't taught what notes are in a chord, or it is told as a factoid. It's usually an afterthought. I've been playing for years now, never too seriously though, and you just don't feel a pull to understand the fretboard. I've personally become interested in writing more nowadays than playing, probably because if I write, I can think in harmonies and then translate it to whatever instrument I find suiting. Whereas if I play, I'm stuck with blocks. When you look for tabs, it shows you the number, the place of the fret. I find myself wishing it didn't say "3" but "C" or maybe 3C. Good vid though.

what a lovely video. thanks!

That is so incredibly awesome of you ! I'm so glad your Dad survived. I have had several family members pass from cancer and it's so horrific 😢. Thank you for what you are doing!!!

Hello Matt, just brilliant !.. Have been playing guitar for too long to admit lmao.. But ,NEVER looked at it in this way before !.. Have always found Chords and their relevant voicings a little on the daunting side, subconsciously avoiding them where I could.. It actually also gives a rudimentary introduction to Chord chemistry.. Stellar job, mate !.. Extremely well done.. :)

I've mostly played bass but have been working on my guitar technique, this is so helpful!! thank you!

This is what i pay my internet for

Ok... I thought that this video would just talk about basic theory and things that i already learned in youtube. But thats not the case. I am dead serious when i say this video changed my mind about guitar! Im a brazilian begginer/intermediate guitar play, and since the moment that i bought my guitar i decided that i would learn music theory and compose before i learn songs. This approach of yours is different, is easy to understant and shows important concepts, and i can say that it will help me very much. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo! Cheers!

Thank you, sir!

Hairs are crimes

How do you approach the open triads for dominant chords? Missing the 7th, but any tips? Especially for jazz I am finding it hard to incorporate the open triad sound onto these tunes

Hi Matt. How awesome of you to do this. Cancer affects us all. I truly know that your Mom and Dad and all of your beautiful family will be so proud of your generous efforts. I do hope your kitties are doing well. Luv Bella

Hey Matt! I get that by using G mixolydian we're still in C major territory and it preserves the cadential sound, but is there a reason why you choose F major over F lydian?

Bravo man!!! Proud of you.

One of my biggest problems (as a struggling intermediate guitarist) is knowing where notes are and how to construct chords. This way of thinking means that I can find a chord on the neck using the CAGED system, and then just look for those other notes to pile on in a way simpler way than I would normally go about it. Thank you and great video!
