Great song, vocals, actors, guitar tone 👍.

This was immediately useful and put to practice!

Thank you for the video, it seems to be helping me. I've been playing guitar for a year and my left shoulder (deltoid muscles) has been hurting since I started. After a year it is much better, but I would like to get rid of the shoulder pain for good and enjoy playing. Have you experienced shoulder pain and if so what do you recommend? I know it's not easy to help me from a distance. Thank you

As a beginner, I find this more comfortable but then I can't see where my fingers are. How do I solve that?

Amen! I'm in the process of putting a new band together, and using charts would expedite the process. Alas, none of us are musically literate, so our charts would be crude compared to proper musical notation. Music has a language, and I must admit some regret at never leaning to read music.

Great song, well done.

I play chords with my thumb tho

Literally just spent nearly two months healing from pinched nerve in my neck down into my arm from holding the guitar parallel to my body...been looking up videos for the last couple days as I prepare to start playing again and found this...game changer 👊🏾🎸🔥

I enjoyed the song. Keep it up !

Love this one!!

Good song and video!!

Killer song and video! Love it!

❤Love the song and the lyrics. Can’t wait 4 the next one!!

Fire 🔥

You saved my life thank you

Thanks this is a big help for me! I been playing for 20 years .. but never learned full songs .. so I just started to play with other musicians. I had to learn like 7 covers . Well I did okay playing them in front of tabs on TH-cam. As soon as I went to play them with the band I was lost most of the time . I got fired from the band . But it’s a good start because now mission is to find the strategies to remember the structure and timing of the songs . This video is great 👍 when writing the form of the song should I write down how many measures of each section of the structure, to remember the parts? Clearly tablature is a crutch and will destroy me .

Hey, brother. Thank you for taking the time.

❤❤❤

I see this information improving the longevity of guitar playing! Very good! Amazing!

Upper back has always been my issue, getting my foot pedals comfortably situated under my microphone has always been a battle. Thanks for all this advice!

Thank you!!!!

Simple, not so easy for a. beginner, I'll try it!

Trying to beat 15+ years of tendinitis and come back to playing guitar. Never seen so much quality tips and details as on your videos. Thank you, and I hope you'll do more videos.

Thank you 👍🏻

I happened upon this video right B4 I fell asleep last night. You appeared in my dreams as a saint.😊 When I woke up, I remembered the saint in my dream & kept wondering why the face seemed so vivid & familiar, even now, while I’m awake (I think 😬 jk) Then you showed up again in my TH-cam History. & I’m like OHHHH! Okay. Now it makes sense. 🤣🤣🤣 Even the saintly representation in my dream makes sense. Music is a very spiritual existence. HEY KEVIN, thank you for being here for us.❤️🙏🏽😊

Thanks for this but unfortunately not working for me. The crosshead with blue arrow snaps to the beat (shown by the red lines) but then doesn't make a tempo event in the conductor track. EDIT: weirdly, if you click on an audio beat, the Conductor track doesn't mark the tempo event until you do the next one. It seems to mark the one you previously clicked rather than the one you click currently click.

Interesting point of view about famous players who don't read, but I'm not sure I completely buy that. That said, I'm in the opposite camp, which is, even Hendrix and SRV would have been more advanced players if they knew theory and could read. By the way, who knows, maybe SRV knew his theory, but just never talked about i! I think it boils down to what it is one is trying to accomplish. If your musical life is going to be spent playing 12-bar blues in a garage band, maybe you don't need it; but then again, if someone watches Josh Smith's lessons about using II-V-I turnarounds in 12-bar blues, they would see that nothing is as trivial as it seems. If, however, you think you may want to record, or even play on other peoples' music, then you better learn to speak the musical language. There is a reason that people like Lee Ritenour get hired to fix David Gilmour's solos and get paid big bucks for it. To sum it up, I'll quote BB, who some may think couldn't read (he could, but maybe not sight-read) or didn't know theory (he did, but maybe not enough to play bebop). He said, it's better to know and not need than to need and not know.

Excellent video and channel; I just subscribed. I haven't watched the full video yet (I plan to, for sure!), so please excuse the premature comment. I do, in fact, have a severe hand issue - but it's in my picking hand. People may not expect this, but it has cut my chops down to about 50%- 60%. In my case, you have to factor in my age (69), and slowly developing arthritis. However, the most revealing piece of information I unearthed was my use of statins for the past 13 or 14 years. It's hard to know if they actually caused it, but they almost certainly pushed it over the edge. Good luck to you and all your viewers.

this def helped alot

i took your advice and didnt listen to you. ill be able to shred in 5 minutes after this related video i just found

No more thumb pumps for me

This only happens to me play acoustic 😭

For many yesrs I thought all those things you mention in the beginning, I found out 10 yrs later I had axonal polyneuropathy and it felt like I had to fight for every note, self diagnosis would be, if your doing say, your scale exercises and suddenly your arms feel stiff like they turned into wood, when I told that to my Neurologist he immediately knew I had a demyelinating autoimmune disease. It's just a public service announcement. I hope it helps anyone out there with similar issues

Thank you it really works ❤

instant results man!!!....I could not fret quite amazingly but there has been huge improvement.... Thanks 😊

Question: what about resting the guitar’s body on your left leg?

1. rounded back, slumped shoulders, back arched 2. neutral pelvis 3. belly button in slightly 4. chest up shoulders back and down

I play a few instruments including drums. I use my old school mechanical metronome. Something nice about a genuine traditional metronome. When I’m on practicing on a digital kit I just use the in built digital metronome on kit. Same if I’m playing bass or guitar and have my multi effects pedal with a built in metronome although sometimes with that I still use the mechanical one. The only thing I find with the mechanical one is it doesn’t go fast enough. When I’m playing drum rudiments sometimes they can go 230bpm+ and the mechanical one doesn’t go that fast. The digital one does and with my digital one you can program in different time signatures where my mechanical one just ticks but I’d imagine a more expensive mechanical one would. It’s not a big deal because as long as you can count and it shouldn’t be a problem but it’s is a nice feature. One of the reasons I’m contemplating getting a drum machine though is for the advantages you said pointed out in this video and chances are a drum machine will also have a built In metronome. A good drum machine should have preset drum patterns in different styles plus allow you to program your own drum patterns and have a built in metronome. So my thinking is that a drum machine would be the best way to go as it will give you all the options in one device. I know you can get it all on your computer or phone now but I still like physical tangible devices you can just switch on (or wind up) and go.

Wow can't believe I haven't seen your channel sooner ...

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Good lesson. Thank you, sir.

For the last couple of years I've been struggling with some overuse syndrom in my left forearm, especially with my thumb. Every professionnal I've seen was unable to tell me what was my problem and how to cure it. I feel that your lesson has some interresting effects on the force I need to apply on my guitar neck, I'll keep doing this for some months. I swear if this doesn't work on me I'll just ditch guitar forever.

I keep seeing that sweet guitar in your vids! What brand is that Kevin?

Great explanation. Thank you.

Great video, I'd say even underrated

Undoubtedly one of the best song ever 🔥🔥🫡

you don't talk about eliminating wrist pain??

I'm here cause my neck! Thanks 🙏
