Great lesson. I never thought about it but the Inlays on the frets are the place holders for the Harmony scale. That is a great tip to know. Thanks for posting this lesson.
Great lesson Sean!! You are actually thinking. Thinking about the chords of the key. The basic foundation of all music. Use your "Circle Of 5'ths" video with this and you could rule the world.
Great tutorial. I tried it and everything worked after the first chord and some version of the arpeggio, also random chords outside the key. Especially every random diminished chord sounded fantastic and intended. Then I got confident and started alternating between looking at the horizon and closing my eyes while making some slight head movements, thinking how I would fool people into believing I know jazz. Therefore the correct title for this video should have been "How to MINDLESSLY learn EVERY jazz song ever in 5 minutes and effortlessly make MILLIONS of dollars"
Sean, I just started watching your channel, and I really click with your teaching style. Things just make sense when you explain them. Really really appreciate your efforts.
OK, I watched a couple of your videos and have enjoyed them but this one came up in my feed and I think this is just awesome! Caused me to click the bell to get all new notifications. I really am enjoying your teaching style. Quirky and fun. I think you’re my new favorite. After 30 years of doing nothing but the same thing off and on I got serious with the guitar about six months ago and I have learned a great deal with the advent of TH-cam. However, I think this one right here is actually a good fit for me to go to my next level. I know this is an older video for you published in 2018 but I’m really glad I happened across it. Thanks again. Scott from Alaska! PS, like I said I know this is an old video but if you’re still giving away free stuff I’d love it LOL!
Great video, and great explanations and details on the first chord and Arpeggio, but I had trouble keeping up with both the logic and fingering of the follow up chords. wish you could slow that down a bit or clarify/simplify it.
Mindlessnes Rules !!! thanks mate for a most engaging session there. Always learn something really useful everytime I watch your lessons. Sometimes its just an aside that you throw in.
I dig the first, "elongated" sentence. "Main Stage" (not Sideshow) is quite the wordsmith. Steve from Cali here wanting to say that this video and the information dispersed is spot on. I've never heard anyone --- "Trip the light fandango" --- on this subject. Being creative without trying to be creative. Drawing people into what you're playing without purposely trying too. I also dig what Sean plays. Reminds me a little of, "Amber" by the group --- "311."
fundamentally it comes down to the fact that you've practiced this enough to do it with out thinking. This happened to me last week at my guitar tech's store i was just playing a chord scale and playing the minor scale in between its was literally an exercise from one of my books and someone there was plug in man that sounds amazing lol. felt good but honestly i wish i was half as good as he thought i was hihi.
ever thought about doing some guitar course megavideo or a website or a small guide book or something? i learned so much from you because you dont bother with complicated and mostly uses theory and focus on theory useful for a guitar player and thats absolutly great. keep on going pewdiepie
Hey Sean, what exactly are you doing with the picking hand? And is it important to pick every note fretted. I’m basically a beginner so go easy on me folks.
Sean, I'd have to say this was your best video ever. So pithy. What a cornucopia of information. BTW, try this rhythm. Pluck chord with thumb and 3 fingers on beat one, pluck simultaneously with 3 fingers on beat "2 and" then immediately strike strings with downward finger strike on beat 3. Lastly downward strike with fingers on beat 4 with immediate palm mute. Cool sound.
One thing I can tell you for sure Sean is that I am definitely "mindless" when it comes to playing guitar. Great lesson as usual though................. :)
Brah. I mindlessly watched this at 3am and learned a quick thing about chords and shapes. Will grab the axe tomorrow and see what I recall. Cool shirt. Reminds me of That Pedal Show. 🤘🏼
QUESTION FOR YOU ON QUESTION DAY: Sean what would you think about the major sound and feel characteristics of the Les Paul standard as compared to say a Strat? I just recently rented a 3100 dollar Les Paul and it just sounds so good with TREMENDOUS sustain. Waduyathink my man? I play a Fender Jazzmaster with the wide single coils and I lOVE it but that Les Paul was a whole shift in sound. And what is your opinion on the middle pickup on a Strat? Do you use it or just seldomely? I think I am developing an unhealthy addiction to electric guitars. Thanks SEAN!
Hey Sean, you are a guitar Guberud. Listen I am completely blind, but I love your videos and him trying to gain as much information as I can, would love it if you would speak a little more about the fingerings. I can’t see the videos but I am listening to your every word. Just saying thanks for the instruction bless you brother, peace.
Tune your guitar down a half step until you build up the finger strength to easily and comfortably fret the chord. There will be less tension on the strings this may, making barre chords easier. Edit: also start playing some acoustic guitar if you can. It's a struggle at first but once you become comfortable fretting on an acoustic, fretting on an electronic will be a cake-walk
It is the same process for everybody. You start off hopeful, then you think this is kind of hard, then comes the frustration, then the self-loathing, then the hatred, and recrimination… Then you calm yourself down and think I can do this so you try again… And you still can’t do it so it gets violent and you smash your guitar, then you set a fire in the basement, then you spend some time in prison and when you get out… You can finally play that cord and you realize it was all worth it. I assume that’s how it goes for everybody?
Hi Sean. I am starting to "get" scales and chords but still need some help. I wanted to practice the looping scales exercise over your Gmaj7 chord and B. But the minor and major shape we used on the last loop video don't seem to sound quiet right (moving the Am shape back to the 3rd fret) can you explain how to choose the scale for the chord? Thanks in advance. Also I know you can't tutor everyone one to one to don't worry if you don't reply. Totally ok. Cheers mate.
What beautiful tone you have, Sean! I’m sure a lot comes from your playing, but if this was played through your digital Fender, would you share the settings? I’d call them “Mindless Sean” ;P
it's kinda funny this guy is like "a guitar teacher.." but i totally think like this guy, too hahah. the way he is like "just do this simple trick, and you can really trick people into thinking you know how to play guitar.. with a little bit of actually knowing what you're doing.." especially the "how to sound like you know how to play jazz: write a ii-V-i progression with an Am. add some dominant 7 or add9 notes to the middle, & then come back to the 3x443x G dominant 7, and people will think you're a genius." but then i'm just like "oh yeah, that's what actually knowing what you're doing feels like...." lol.
Exact same thing happened to me except I was thinking how am I going to get out of eating this spicy tofu dish or this veggie burger? On a sidenote I’ve never considered you to be aloof, I’ve always thought that you were more inscrutable… In fact I thought there is a dude who refuses to be scruted.
@@seandaniel23 Wait, you're vegan? But I saw you eating cheese in one of your videos. Was it vegan cheese? (I refuse to say "nut cheese" just like you don't like to say "lick". :-))
Not for nothing, but if you're whipping out major 7 arpeggios and progressing through the full chord scale of a key...you're not faking being good. You're good.
This is the quintessential Sean Daniel video. Very good sir!
I agree :)
Great lesson. I never thought about it but the Inlays on the frets are the place holders for the Harmony scale. That is a great tip to know. Thanks for posting this lesson.
Always happy to help!
Man, you are the King of Slack! Hard work is for suckers (and geniuses). This stuff is for me!
Beautiful tone through the fender amp. Great to see you buddy. 👍😎
Love the exercise too! 😁
My guy! Miss ya bud!
You're a FRIGGIN GENIUS!
You educated us with so much mindlessness! Awesome lesson man!
Thanks for watching!
Tesla was, this guy aint.
He deserves more subs
Good lesson, I had not used that arpeggio shape before so I learned something here. Thanks!
One of my faves!
A great musician becoming a coaching legend right before our eyes! Thx for the lesson and inspiration!
It feels good.
Great lesson Sean!! You are actually thinking. Thinking about the chords of the key. The basic foundation of all music. Use your "Circle Of 5'ths" video with this and you could rule the world.
UNLIMITED POWER!

Hah, I'm sure no jazz players would take offense :)
Relatively new to guitar this helps tie some individual elements have been working on in a very musical
Fashion
Much appreciated!

You're more than welcome Sean and much deserving of the upgrade in status. Sky is the limit!
You are the best Guitar teacher in TH-cam!!!
Thanks so much!
@@seandaniel23 we thank you for your legendary teaching method. Up the irons!
Another epic one Sean!
Thanks
Happy to help!
I sometimes just put your videos on to listen to because you always have a beautiful tone. You beautiful bastard.
You are the best teacher I have ever known! Thank you for sharing this.
Yes and if you repeat the same arpeggio starting on the 5th string roots C D you will have the complete and awesome " mindless SD 145 sonata in G"
You are a legend sean
Thanks so much!
This is simply the best lesson for Guitar Noodlers everywhere! Love It!
Thanks for watching!
I was immediately impressed with the tone of that D'Angelico so I asked what you were playing through ... you answered my question immediately haha.
fundamentally it comes down to the fact that you've practiced this enough to do it with out thinking.

You and me both!

Thanks so much! I'll definitely have something up by the end of the year!
im very looking forward to it your page is like some magic not evil version of the necromonicon but for guitar
I'd definitely buy a course from you. Looking forward to it.
My best songs originated from mindless noodling and instant noodling. Great video, Sean.

I’m into the keyboard 🎹 right now I wish I found u when I was playing the Guitar 🎸 lol. But I still enjoy the videos 😎👌
Man you've got that guitar dialed in...nice tone! Great lesson, thanks
Thanks so much!
You explain music theory so cleanly its insane
Thanks so much!
That's a cool idea I'll definitely try it
Right on!
Love your attitude!
Thanks so much John!
Great video as always. ❤️
Thanks so much!
Lovely guitar and playing.
Thanks so much!
One thing I can tell you for sure Sean is that I am definitely "mindless" when it comes to playing guitar. Great lesson as usual though................. :)
Keep the mindlessness going.
Hey sean this is love from India stay blessed and upload these types of knowledge regarding guitar
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming!
I don't even play guitar but I watched the whole thing, great vibes man.
Thanks so much!
Brah. I mindlessly watched this at 3am and learned a quick thing about chords and shapes. Will grab the axe tomorrow and see what I recall.
Cool shirt. Reminds me of That Pedal Show. 🤘🏼
Thanks so much!
Ayy I’m at 3am too
This was a pretty interesting and informative vid!
Plus, playing mindlessly is my idiom. Or attempted, at least.
This might be my next guitar!
It's a good one!
That was great, Sean. Thanks very much. Hope your personal stuff works out.
Thanks so much! Don't worry, I'm thinking about it whilst I type.
: )
This is one of your best lessons ever! I'm on the way to Oz to pick up my mind now. Left it there for cleaning (nudge-nudge), if you know what I mean!
Hey oh!
Cool lesson thx Sean! :)
Happy to help!
Sean I love your vids, you are one chill dude. 😂
Thanks so much!
Great lesson Sean. Now, do the same thing with the scale on the upper part of the chord, chord melody style.
Great idea!
I want that hoodie. Also: guitar tone. But mostly that hoodie.
Check out the merch store!
This vid made me chuckle, thank you for that
Thanks for watching :)
4:06. Yasssss. Lol
Great video! Thanks man.
Happy to help!

I'll talk about it next week!
This is very cool but I wish you would have spent some time talking about your right hand technique here. That's where the magic happens.
You're right! I need to do more of that!
thankyou Mr Daniel
Happy to help!

Boxcar B. Johnson dude, i thought i was the only one, i can see a little but have a guide dog. Blind guitarists unite.
How cam yall people type
Sean, my boy, you gotta let me come over and play that guitar!! It’s gorgeous🙈 and we will talk tonight about this amazing arpeggio!!
What up Secily!!
Am a beginner and i get turned OFF evertime I see some one playing bar chord "the F one" flawlessly..🙁🙁

@@gdawgs101 I feel.that would be helpfulll🙂
It takes time just like someone who goes to the gym for the first time they can't pick up heavy weights . Practice practice practice
@@Boobies92545 hahaha..thats a pretty funny comparison 😆..Well, I also joined the gym today..Coincidence

Nice, I've been waiting for a why do i have to know all these chords video part 2. It took you a while, I almost had to fire you.
Just in time!
Dang that Atlantic is beautiful!! Sounds pretty sweet too!
Thanks so much!
*swoon* the tone of that guitar.
D'angelico for the win!
The 2,5,1 is always my best finishing move. I know that because the ladies told me.
Always listen to the ladies.
This is so obvious but it’s GOLD bro ! Great lesson man!
Thanks so much Barry!
Since everyone here including me loves the tone of this guitar so much, please tell us what it is!
D'angelico Deluxe Atlantic!
Lovely stuff
Thanks for watching!
I love this as I have been working with your chord scale videos, arpeggios are next,( maybe) But exactly what arpeggio is this?? G7??
nice video
"Mindlessly focusing on personal stuff I have going on." You mean like trying to decide which of the girls to let out of the dungeon tonight? :-)
You know the dungeon is actually pretty nice.
You mean they get all the essentials like food, water and a makeup mirror?
It rubs the lotion on its skin....
This is great! How do I learn chord scales shapes, where can we find them .... loved this and you’re hilarious ... cheers buddy 😊
What beautiful tone you have, Sean! I’m
sure a lot comes from your playing, but if this was played through your digital Fender, would you share the settings? I’d call them “Mindless Sean” ;P
I'm really starting to like those guitars!👍😎🎸🎶
Love it!
@@seandaniel23 👍😎
this is a really good video! tbh all I want is to noodle a little with minimal effort :)
Then you've come to the right place!
I’ve finally been playing long enough to actually understand this!!
good stuff, I tend to mindlessly play jazzy stuff too
It's a sign of sophistication.
What a delightful sharing. ...Waves
Thanks for checking it out!
So clever!
Thanks Walter!
I need to know the right hand technique you're using. Thanks so much for the video!
I'll try talking more about that soon!
I hope that little swipe at jazzers is tongue in cheek because the average swinger could play you round the park both technically and musically.
Got love for the jazzers.
Can you do a video about the personal stuff you’re going through? It’s sort of a tease to mention it and not follow up.
Haha, coming soon.
Hey Sean great lesson.
Just curious what kind of guitar is that?
Look like its got hagstrom tuners but the head stock is different
D'angelico Deluxe Atlantic. Love that thing.
Quality!
Thanks so much!
More mindless guitar, please.
learned more in these 10 minutes than I have in the last 2 years....
Happy to hear it!
“Or a minor 11, cause I’m nasty.” lol
The nastiest.
Where be the link for harmonizing with chords of the scale? Eye'd like to C that 1. EDIT: Nevermind. : )
Thanks for checking it out!
At about 10:23 to 10:30 I realized that you probably have an awesome Christopher Walken impression
Haha, I try :)
it's kinda funny this guy is like "a guitar teacher.." but i totally think like this guy, too hahah. the way he is like "just do this simple trick, and you can really trick people into thinking you know how to play guitar.. with a little bit of actually knowing what you're doing.." especially the "how to sound like you know how to play jazz: write a ii-V-i progression with an Am. add some dominant 7 or add9 notes to the middle, & then come back to the 3x443x G dominant 7, and people will think you're a genius." but then i'm just like "oh yeah, that's what actually knowing what you're doing feels like...." lol.
you know it!
Sweet hoodie
Feel free to get one on the merch store!
9:09
Oooh... That's pretty rad. Did you practice playing standing up when you were starting?
Great question. and no. I was in for a rude awakening when I first had to stand and play.
Exact same thing happened to me except I was thinking how am I going to get out of eating this spicy tofu dish or this veggie burger? On a sidenote I’ve never considered you to be aloof, I’ve always thought that you were more inscrutable… In fact I thought there is a dude who refuses to be scruted.
Todd Blinks haha I’m practicing my Scrution while I play mindless guitar
Inscrutable is good, I'm gonna start going with that.
Not using the mesa much anymore ?
Only for tracking and pedal demos. It's just on the other side of the room. Lazy, I know.
You're awesome!!!!
Thanks so much!
Vegan vibes all over this video :)
Oh you know it!
@@seandaniel23 Wait, you're vegan? But I saw you eating cheese in one of your videos. Was it vegan cheese? (I refuse to say "nut cheese" just like you don't like to say "lick". :-))
You should see his 15 foot leather couch super vegan friendly I'm sure lol
And abalone frets isn't very vegan and or that tortoise shell pickgaurd very destructive to the eco system lol
J
Not for nothing, but if you're whipping out major 7 arpeggios and progressing through the full chord scale of a key...you're not faking being good. You're good.
Fair enough :)
Ye
Hey hey!
can you do a video on how to explain music theory while looking as relaxed as someone thinking about food?
That's pretty much every video I do :)
Can you use apegeors on any chord?
Mindlessly brilliant Sean! Or is it brilliantly mindless? 😎
Same difference :)
My main goal is probably to be able to play around like this
You're on the right path!
