Wonderful! Great info! Wish I could get the lessons. It's not just the hammer on and pull offs. It's the strum/pick hand control and precision. Your work is great! Keep it up.
Hey Aubrey Love your videos mate your playing is amazing! Could you talk a bit about how you change your lead lines over the IV and V chords and how you tie it all together? I’m finding that I sound ok over G but when I change to the C I loose it a bit and same for the D. If I’m playing a song in C I’m ok over the C but loose it a bit over the F and G. Do you think/play over each chord separately? Any tips
Can you give me your definition of half notes exactly? Is it basically playing Notes that aren't in the scale? Exqmple. The blues note would be an obvious note to me. Are all of the notes available? Basically need a good definition for half notes. But I can understand where you're getting at using them and i'm finding them but I want to be accurate.
I believe what he means is 'half step'. In music theory, a full step is two notes from the note you're starting on (on the guitar this would be represented by skipping a fret). A half step is moving up by one note in the chromatic 12 tone scale (which just means the next fret for guitar). What he is demonstrating here is how he uses "chromatacism" to fill the in-between notes of the scale. Most of the 'extra' notes are slides, hammer-ons, or pull-offs. This gives his picking hand a lot of time to rest in between notes and enables him to pick much faster lines. It's basically 'economy picking', but you don't hear that term much in the acoustic world. In addition, he actually does 'alternate pick' some of the 'in-between' notes, mostly when he's ascending. A 'half note' is actually a thing in music as well, but it refers to timing. It just means a note which is played at half the duration of a whole note. There is 1 'whole note' per beat, 2 'half notes', 4 'quarter notes' and so on... The notes he's playing here in this video are mostly 'quarter notes' and some 'eighth notes' swung in for flavor here and there. Depending on the tempo and feel of a song, slower songs can have 16th notes in them as well. I know this is late but hopefully it helps!
I think it's all good for the beginners..you picking smooth and good
Very good exercise! Thnx!

It's called "practice" and it takes a long time. Lol
@@alan4sure Exactly! 😆
