    Lucas, I've been playing guitar for 20 years. I just recently got into finger style after watching Scotty Anderson, Ben Lacy and now you. You have a gift my friend. Anyway, your short lesson on 7 chords in this video was the best lesson, as far as information gained over the amount of teaching time, I have ever seen. So simple. Thanks!

  • @alainvosselman9960
    @alainvosselman9960 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Waw, ...To ommit the 5th of each chord makes it sound so much 'harmonized' and lighter than with 5th included. Also far more suggestive and open to add more notes at a later stage. Thanx, this will save me from years of horrifying agony, life threatening lack of selfconfidence and all creativity abandoning me everytime i try to create a melody to find out it's too hard to harmonize..;lol. Looking forward to try it out and how it works to harmonize chromatic notes added to a melody ect.. Accidently bumped into your video, will check out some more of them !

    • @dishwasherdetergent3366
      @dishwasherdetergent3366 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      dropping the fiftg is very common in jazz chord voicings, since your ear has enough information from just the root, 3rd and 7th to figure out what the chord is

    I have been playing guitar for a long time. Even studied jazz guitar in college.

    @carrollman12 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, a tip for voiceover audio, theres a noticable difference in the main shot's audio and the title slides audio. All you have to do to make this sound better is record the voiceover parts in the same environment you recorded the lesson. And then on top of that record a minute of the room tone (just sit silently) and you can paste that throughout the entire video. This way the transitions are seemless and when you fade in or out (wether it be your voice or playing) the audience wil not notice a difference. I hope this made sense, you helped me so i wanted to help you. Its a small audio tip but really adds to the production value without much extra work.
