you're trolling on that level 3 one, right? lmaooo
good video
Genius display teacher ❤ Thanks for this tutorial and for your time
Like your style, to the point . Good clear instruction. D flat voicing. Interesting topic . Thanks.
Nice video, that’s exactly how I do it, but i thread the string through the peg, take the slack out, grab the string at the nut and pull it back to the first fret, maybe just a little farther, then bend the string up and wind holding the string down so as the winds are on top of the string smashing it down to the head stock to lock it down, works every time, never had an issue
How do you get your pinky to stop crowding finger 3?
To clarify, 4-pinky has a terrible curve towards 3. When held straight, 4 stays that way. When folded, it wants to press into 3.
Hmm, hard to say exactly without seeing your hand. I do have a few other videos on technique... Is it impeding your playing or just an annoyance at this point? if just an annoyance sometimes players hands just need to develop from playing more guitar (yes provided your technique isn't all jacked up). Watch your thumb position on back on neck, curvature of wrist (keep it straight) play on finger tips. Playing on frets 1-4 are the hardest due to frets being wider and its farthest from your body. Also, sometimes its NOT a technique problem or an issue where you need more practice but rather you have too much tension. Squeezing too hard, tension in shoulders, back, neck etc that manifest in the hand.
@@guitargpsmethod I can do 3 finger chords fine, but 4 is going to be impeded. When bending, it turns 3 and 4 into a clamp if that makes sense. I can't seem to get them more than half a fret apart, and its like they want to spring together.
My pinky basically tries to tuck "behind or over" and follow the ring finger constantly. I do exercises with placing fingers on frets 5 thru 8, and move each individual. When I move the ring finger, the pinky will not stay in a bent shape.
@@thomasaitken7495 do this exercise 5-10 min per day th-cam.com/video/KsZlElOX96U/w-d-xo.html
thank you
Yeah it does. You just explained why.
Knowing music theory is Great, but some players that know alot of theory think to much when they play. Music to me should be more about sound and feeling. You need technical ability also to be able to play what you hear in your mind for example so that is also extremely important. I look at music theory as being book smart. While actual playing time and experience as being street smart in the world. So if you have both you are even more well versed, but I don't think understanding music theory completely is really needed for everyone. Look at George Lynch for example. He openly admits to not knowing alot of music theory, but when you listen to his playing he clearly knows EXACTLY what works and how to compose a song and his guitar works is as good as any guitarist from the 80's and 90's then comapre George to Randy Rhoads and Randy knew all kinds of music theory. Point being both guys are incredible players one knew theory inside and out and one didn't but both are incredible guitarist.
Those who play by ear dont need it. Period.
why do you not talk about fingering
i dont know what finger to use on right hand
I write and perform my own songs pretty well and I don't even know what that is. This is the equivalent of saying you can't be smart unless you go to college.
That's so sad. If you play music and love it enough to write it - have you ever thought about learning about how it works and why? Also, your comment about this being equivalent of saying you can't be smart unless you go to college is a ridiculous analogy.
I don't need it I'm not a gator player
Great one dude!
Im already 55 yo, long time playing guitar but, slow to learn fast, getting old i think impact the speed, any advice?
The basics for speeding up is good technique, and playing with a metronome. A metronome trains your ability to HEAR and FEEL faster. So without more context one what you're working on. - Can you play with a metronome? if so, find your base speed and go up from there. There are more strategies but this is where it begins
what a excellent
Totally Awesome
Enjoyed the lesson but when you demonstrate at 6.15 your fretting hand is out of shot.
Great explanations. Thank you!
You're welcome!
No offense but the pentatonic is the last thing that should be taught. Just because its become so generic and over used not ti mentjon, once people learn it, they never expand to natural minor, especially boomers. Theyre so musically ignorant and lazy and i beoiebe this scale inspires lazyness
No offense taken - thanks for your input. While I don't disagree that it's common that players get stuck and never move past the pentatonic scales due to never learning how music works - I do however disagree that it's the last thing that should be taught. It's the easiest to play, easiest to learn to improvise in (and have it sound relatively decent) and a lot of famous solos use it.
The timing in the pre chorus is so strange. Everything is 4/4, but the guitar riff starts on the 7th fret on 8/8, so the downbeat (1) is the open E before the 6th fret. This has thrown a wrench in my spoke. Thank you for tabbing out the sheet music to help illustrate it for me.
Not only it's a great excercise, you also get a bonus song that you'll learn along with excercising. Thanks!
Simple but effective. Thank you :)
Being a beginner and my ring finger being the weakest, this killed me lol. It pays off in the end tho. Thank you!
No prob! You may want to check out the beginner playlist i have as well.
How long, like how many days did you have to repeat to notice the difference?
@@lospopularos assuming you are doing it correctly, playing from memory, earliest would be after a few days.
This a really good exercice thanks a lot!
You're welcome, glad you like it!
Fantastic lesson! The ring finger is the weakest finger. The Thumb being the strongest. This is a great exercise.
Let me know if there's other things you need help with. Happy to make a video
@@guitargpsmethod Here's an idea no one has covered? (to the best of my knowledge) It's all well and good learning a solo or 'licks' but how does one develop the feel, phrasing,or "Swagger" while joining those licks? I know I don't practise licks to a drum machine for instance.This possibly means I don't know where the accents lie within the lick?(If this makes sense)
@@bryanwilliams3665 Yes i follow you. There's a lot of skills and knowledge that must be developed for this. I'll put this topic on my list!
You are one amazing teacher!!! Thank you very much for this! Cheers.
You're welcome! Let me know if there's other riffs you like me to do
Im really new to guitar and i was wondering when do you play both of them together how do i read the notes
Hi, if you are really new check out my free beginner course on TH-cam and go through all the lessons in order. This will teach you how to read the notes and begin to build the skills you need to play cool riffs like this one. Let me know if you have any other questions
finally a serious tutorial not tilted as "memorize fretboard 30 seconds", they give useless triangles or patterns stuff. this video is the most proper and correct way to do it i swear to god i tried and im almost there. Thank u !
You're welcome! Glad to hear its coming together for you
How is it going
Solid advice about just listening to the song. Thanks for the lesson.
You're welcome, if you have song requests or specific you need help with don't hesitate to post in the comments
Hope I win
Great tips There , I’ve done most of those improvising , but it’s always good to spice up your playing like that, I find myself getting into a rut sometimes, I forget some times to put in some verity. Thanks much . Awesome.
Glad you liked the video! Which causes the biggest rut for you?
Staying I a key sometimes if I’m not carefull, I’ll forget what key I’m in, just lack of steady practice I think , plus I got a prs custom 24 se that I’m not use to , yet, with the full scale neck. Thanks.
@@rick00770 Nice I've yet to get a PRS - you like it? I'll make a video on ways to help stay in key
Your video is very useful
Great! Glad it's helping you. What do you find most useful so I can make more
this will take me awhile lol
let me guess you quit lol
When you can grip a guitar neck like a baseball bat with all fingers, and thumb wrapped around and the thumb can't even touch A it is because of hand size. When regular playing forget about the thumb muting even E. When your longest finger is not much longer than a standard AA battery it is safe to say it is hand size.
Hey Preston it’s me kadaingus ( King Kong) how do you hold the pick again?
K'dangus! Watch video above. Pick should be on the SIDE of your index finger just below your last joint. Press with the TIP of your thumb. let me know if u have any more questions
Will this help with flexablite
Yes, this will definitely help you have more control, finger independence, strength, and get fingers to not be so "stiff." If you are needing to get your fingers to STRETCH more this will help but there are other videos i have that are better on that. - Let me know if that's the case and i'll point you where to go
pr໐๓໐Ş๓
Great video!
nice tutorial
Glad you liked it. What riff would you like us to do next?
@@guitargpsmethod ha ha probably anastasia from slash (the interlude btw)
Anytime you’re ready to put together a full video on Sandman I’ll be ready. I just have to get the wife to leave me alone for a bit lol she comes home Monday after almost 3 months.
When I do a bar chord for example Cm7 - C7 - I have a problem with a joint-bar-G string - Do you have any idea what I can do? -
Im not sure what you mean by "joint-bar-G string..." If the issue is the G string isn't ringing out. 1. thumb needs to be in the middle of your hand 2. Index finger should press slightly on its SIDE so the BONE of your finger bars. Otherwise your 2nd joint in your finger will pop up and thus mute a string that should be ringing out. 3. for the C7 you could also use your middle finger to help press against your 1st finger .
No questions - easy
Preston you’re awesome thank you so much. I’ll be working on this tomorrow for a couple hours appreciate the hard work. Keep up the awesome work sincerely Thomas
You're welcome! And thanks for the feedback - Best
Great info
Peace & Love.
More arrows for the Quiver...
Great looking guitar. Thanks for sponsoring the contest.
It's not very often you have someone give their time for free to help people become better at something you're very talented in. I will watch your videos and share them with anybody that's interested in learning to play. Once I feel comfortable I will contact you appreciate the reach out on the social media platform I'm starting to use it more of myself. I'm over here in Oklahoma originally from California for 37 years. As a kid I had an acoustic guitar and the ninth grade took a class beginners level I'm always loved the guitar just never had the dexterity or the time at the time to learn it completely but it's never too late even at 51. Again appreciate your enthusiasm and the energy and time it took to put these videos together.
Hey Thomas, thank you for the feedback and compliment! Look forward to helping you learn / progress on the guitar! And yes, please do share - really helps us (help you) 🤘
Awesome
I've been teaching this for years. I like the lightbulb "a-ha" moment when they get it....
