The issue with teaching on TH-cam is that people do too much talking - and people learning are trying to absorb every word because they are unaware of what is important. I believe instructors need to do the Mr. Mayagi technique - show Danielson 1 small thing and repeat until fingers bleed - then lear another simple thing - and then another - and just before they give up - show them how it functions over a backing track - and music can be made from some simple singular step and you can add steps together or just modify the step - but you can make anything sound cool when you spend the time and try to exhaust all ideas from one step they learned - you showed them the scale - but they will want it to sing - so play the linear scale with slides, bends, hammer ons, trills - give them a little fun thing to remove the boring learning process
Totally agree but this is one video about one thing. At the end of the video I talked about hammer-ons and pull-offs. I mentioned making up melodies or riffs. The issue here is that I have a lot of videos saying to do what you just wrote. I also mention it in nearly every video I make. To be fair, people see one video and don’t know the person has gone over that a lot before but, that means I should point people to those videos. All my videos are based upon what a student has asked me about that week that I can make a video explaining it. Since the info is useful to any guitars, I put it on TH-cam.
Congrats on your milestone brother!
Thanks from Ukraine))
Would be nice to hear your ideas how to practice this
Stay strong my friend, we’re all praying for the Ukraine. I’ll make a follow up video on this to show how to do that.
By the way I have a few shorts on TH-cam showing how to improvise with open string pentatonics.
Thanks
I’ll watch
