On my first week of learning at 54 years old. Let see if old dogs can indeed learn new tricks. I'll do this everyday until I can do it automatically. Thank you!!

Yeah buddy. For me, Play painfully slow. Build up that muscle memory. Also, how you pick. Where is the pick positioned to strike? Do it with hammer ons and pull offs. Then alternate picking. Learn to feel the notes. Good luck with your school. People also have to understand. First get an ear for being in tune. Barre chords are the killer. Many will stop there. Working through frustration. Loving what you play because you will chase sounding like someone else until you sound like you.👍🏾

good stuff, subscribed

Hey man you should make a video on how this sounds! I always knew Brandon was using a different tuning

🎉

Wow, this exercise coupled with your pedagogy is amazing. Liked and subbed.

There is no air in The Windmills of My Mind My Lights are on, but Nobody's Home 🏡 I'm Older than Dirt, and I'm Fartin Dust, Don't know why I should even Fuss...Hi Jake...Don't write them, just steal them...that's evolution...that's reality...and everybody should know, Reality is for Those that 🤔 can't cope with dope...Nap Time...Herb

Is there a metronome app or device that you recommend? You are assuming that the viewers have worked with metronome ‘markings, - I’m insure of how these are used…. Thanks..

Great video, thanks 😊

Thankyou you are very easy to follow great teacher. Look forward to more . Great work. ❤

I really do like your guitar lessons on here. I'm not sure about joining a community because I am very shy and scared about that sort of thing. The fact I am even thinking about it would be a HUGE compliment to you if you knew me and what that means for someone who hasn't even stepped outside their home for anything other than a medical appointment in more than ten years. You'll just have to take my word for it and accept that it's a compliment. Thank you so much for all your time and effort spent on complete strangers. You're a star.

Awesome teaching🎉🎉🎉

Yes you are so goood

Good lesson Jake 👏👏

First!

I've not picked up my guitar in decades. Everything is so atrophied. My brain knows what to do from playing when I was younger, but the fingers won't obey. I found this video, and have been working on it daily, and it works VERY well. Thank you so much!

thanks for the advice and help. im struggling and looking for anything that can help me improve.

Add it to the list of covers done.

Thanks dude. Really helpful!

Just started playing guitar after procrastinating for years. This video's genuinely the most helpful and captivating one I've come across! Great content, even better method of teaching. Looking forward to going through the channel and picking up your tips & tricks.

Jake, the essence of good teaching is explaining - and you are excellent at that (hence, an excellent teacher)! I've gotten more out of less than 6 minutes listening/watching you than 10 hours of others blathering on! You have quite a gift, and I'm now a future long-term fan! Serendipity brought me here, and subscription will keep me here!

This is the best explanation of using a capo I've ever seen. Thank you Jake much appreciated.

talk,talk,talk.

Nah this aint it chief

LOL :D you're not only a great teacher but you're funny, too :D lol

Thanks. Great advice...

I've been doing this, and it has helped.

Great video! I have a question about focus: any tips for staying focussed while practicing? Example; working on cross picking speed I will often make mistakes because I’m thinking about… Life, Work, everything but what I should be focussed on. My mind does not stay in the same room as me and my guitar. but sometimes helps is closing my eyes and imagining whatmy picking hand is doing, but actually watching my picking hand makes me drift off.

Good stuff. In your opinion, what's a good resource to learn songs? Meaning once one knows open chords and scales, where does one go to have someone explain how to implement those techniques and play a specific song? I know Marty Music is on here and he seems great. Anywhere else you recommend? Thank you

crazy train isn’t a black sabbath song it was written by ozzy osbourne

Just wondering why do ypu count strung from the Bottom not from the Top which makes more sense ?

So, is it o couple of months or just one week, which will make the difference?

Great stuff. Thanks

I personnaly don't use a metronome, i now started to use drumb machin, i use LoopZ and it's pretty cool ! Might be more confusing than the metronome, because all of those drumb sounds, but eventually i get use to it ! I use this instead, because it feel more engaging, more musical and fun ! And as you know, we talked about that a few days back ! To feel relaxed with a metronome or a drumb machine, is probably one of the hardest things to do for me, because you're trapped by a rhythm, and most of the time my whole body is more tense, even when slowed down ^^ XD ! That's why i always try to make these practice stuff F.U.N ! because from my personal experience and philosophy; without fun, there is no progress ! :) But yeah, just the fact that i had the courage to change my mind a little bit and to start to use a drumb machine (metronome or drumb machine use to be my nightmare); just that is really great ! I a already start to feel small improuvement ! :) I really need to try using backing tracks for soloing; now that i've decoded a bit the fretboard ^^ !

Thank you. Great insights..

Great.lesson Jake. What.metronome do you recommend?

Why don’t you call it what it is: Travis finger picking ?

dude i just had a MASSIVE breakthrough i few days ago !!! I did watch a vidéo that give tips for people who are confused by scales ! And at a moment the guy talk about the G major scale, and show the entire fretboard with that scale, with the Root mark in red; and i did pause the vidéo for a few minutes.... And guess what ????? I DID notice a logic, a connection between the roots !! Like you show in this video, the staircase that goes down ! And the moment i notice that and understood that it works for every notes, i quickly grab my electric guitar, and start to play the major and minor scale; and then.... It was the revelation for me !!!! The fact that you can just use the major or minor shape, the same way on the entire fretboard; it create a staircase illusion, It just make me feel soooooo goood, and now i just flow with scales ! It's a lot more simple that you would think ^^ It's insane !!! :)

Interesting! I’m trying it!

Great exercises!

thank you for this

Amazing!!
