I'm in the course now. I've been playing like an asshole for 48 years. I'm committed to the program and I'm finally beginning to understand what the hell I'm doing. Well worth it.
If ur feeling extra fancy go up an octave, that's what I do to work on opening up the fretboard. It's easy to find where it starts and play the same shapes and harmonizing is always pretty. For ppl who don't know: to easily find a higher octave for any note, for the E and A string you wanna go down two strings (example: E -> D) and over two frets (example: 10 E -> 12 D). For the D and G string, go down two strings (example: D -> B) and over 3 frets (example: 10 D -> 13 B).
@@NickATFGuitarMan That's a very valid comment, but I 1. love buying gizmos, parts, tools and stuff, even if I don't really need them and 2. there's a certain value in making my own backing track.
Aye brandon i got a question I have played a long time ive 'ever had a problem with creating toughened finger tips and in 15 or better years of playing ive never had a pro lem with pressing too hard why now are my fingertips hetting destroyed? My skin on my ring finger is ripping and i have deep string prints how did this become a thing am i going backwards has this happened to u
Love your videos but they would be greater without the curse words. My kids are in the same space and they shouldn't be hear this. Thanks for the awesome tips though.
At 6:34 you barre an A-shape using your pinky; does that mute string 1 or are you able to get enough of a bend in your pinky so it does not? Excellent video, BTW!
Can I play through note changes by playing the corresponding modes of the C minor scale, or by playing the equivalent Major and minor scales for each change?
theory here is all over the place lol Too complitated shit,i'm still soloing using my feelings and just choosing any good notes i find.It's much easier,i just can hear it. I don't even know the chord progressions in my favorite songs :D
Think of it more like key of E major making B the 5th. It does have the assignment as a dominant chord but doesn’t have to be. In this context it’s kind of a standard descending rock progression 6 5 4 1 even tho it’s C#m it’s not a very “sad” sound and still feels kind of upbeat. Try playing it with a B7 and it sounds funny and doesn’t really fit
I’m working at understanding the timing after the 3 minute mark. I can almost not quite read nomenclature from choir at school. I wish I could go to choir at church because let me get those straight they kicked me out because of a charge I didn’t plea to wasn’t convicted of and was taken back by witnesses, but alas I’m trying and I cannot play there or sing there. Or three other churches though I have a good possibly better musical vision. Anyway I can read uncomplicated tab. I started trying to learn the lick by ear then noticed there was tab. The timing after 3 minutes is hard, the speed is probably ok. 👍🏾 Trying. I want to learn how to play those quicker legato in a stylistic way.
surprisingly good suggestions) never expected this kind of video to be this helpful.. I am not talking doing everything like the dude in the video says.. but i did find multiple new things to think about. If you approach the video with the attitude to teach yourself and not expecting everything to be mouth fed to you - this is excellent

Some people go to the club to get lit their whole life…
It looks like I'll be buying a looper today.
Or just use the hundreds of jam tracks that are free on TH-cam

Pretty awesomely concise & helpful lesson - thanks for this ! As a bonus, I am now off the cigarettes...
It's a good reminder to play notes in the chords. Add in some minor scale notes. Fun idea.
hmm, I tried this on Giant Steps and it didn't work.... 🤣🤣🤣
instantly useful, Thanks Brandon 💜
Its time to get off the cigarettes and actually try now...
Backing tracks for just 1 $ dollar! That's freaking Awesome !
What is your rig rundown for your guitar solo sound? It's so smooth
This is getting good❤
wow dud, this is the best video i have seen about pentatonic sheet,thanks 🍻🍻
Great Lesson Brandon. Love the info, ease back on the verbal punctuation a bit though? Thanks! Going to refer this lesson to my instructor!
You should also make a detailed video about how to GET OFF THE CIGARETTES!
Good lesson, hilarious presentation.
I like Brandon
He's certainly a rather unique individual
God damn it i need to catch up 15 yrs pronto! I might as well subscribe😅
Big fun in the sun!
Good intel, but I suppose I should use headphones when watching with my daughter in the room.
Respect 🙌🙌🙌
Eyy new video
Awesome, good study
Thank you 🙏
I need that tone please
ISOLATE THE FREAKING CHORD PROGRESSION
So the two solid notes with the curve to the non solid note you hold, do you strum 3 times total or only twice an hold the 3rd note?
Aye brandon i got a question
I have played a long time ive 'ever had a problem with creating toughened finger tips and in 15 or better years of playing ive never had a pro lem with pressing too hard why now are my fingertips hetting destroyed? My skin on my ring finger is ripping and i have deep string prints how did this become a thing am i going backwards has this happened to u
Please make it possible to pay the backing tracks with Paypal
Brandon, do you have a band?
"You already know this"
I feel like Brandon could solve the gender crisis in one day
Make me another short, NOW. 😡🍴
Dude i am not even smoking and i don't know how to to this
Btw i can do the scale and bare chords
I gotta get off the cigarettes, so I can focus on finishing these exercises better.
Chord progression but how do you translate the chord progression into pentatonic shapes? Mugging up ?
Good stuff but please - Stop Screaming!
no its funny
I like this kid
Watch your mouth 👄
Know your audience !!!
Love your videos but they would be greater without the curse words. My kids are in the same space and they shouldn't be hear this. Thanks for the awesome tips though.
Use headphones 🎧 ❤
😂pretty basic shit😢 I'm dead
you'll get it just have fun and think as much as you can bc it helps you remember and it will come
"You don't need any theory" uses at least 10 different theory terms
"Dude, just use the mixaolien pentatonic triplet scale of the first mode of..."
😂
I am dying 😂
Aight I’m here not knowing a fuck about theory should be fine ima watch it now
Yeah I’m fucked
At 6:34 you barre an A-shape using your pinky; does that mute string 1 or are you able to get enough of a bend in your pinky so it does not? Excellent video, BTW!
Brandon, that Tele is class. What model is it (and what's the colour called)?
It's a fender ultra telecaster in mocha burst
@goose8193 thanks very much
3:08 "This is just basic sheet"
Me: o_O
I thought exactly the same. Many people will not even reach that level in their life….
I mean it kinda is
Can I play through note changes by playing the corresponding modes of the C minor scale, or by playing the equivalent Major and minor scales for each change?
theory here is all over the place lol
Too complitated shit,i'm still soloing using my feelings and just choosing any good notes i find.It's much easier,i just can hear it.

thank you brandon
This thinking really pissus me off 😂
"Right there where youre sitting right now!"
Ähm... lets better not do that... id rather sit at my desk if you know what i mean..
Can you stop speaking dirty words? It's not good
Welp ima try this over a power chord progression I like playing F D C A G F 😂
C#-B-A-E ....... NIN: "A Warm Place"
I can even do this on cigarettes.
Damn less than an hour! I'm lucky!
Just leave 😂
Lfg🎉
thanks you
Probably a dumb question, but if B is the 7th degree of C# minor, how is he able to play a major chord? Shouldn’t it be a dominant chord? Thank you

@@Duplicitousss the 7th degree in a minor scale is a dominant chord.
Best freaking teach on the 'net. Thanks, Brandon.
