    Thinking about exercises that really changed how I see things and play the guitar, this might be top of the list - an old exercise from @HoraceBray that I think he may have called the Golden Warmup or something?

    I had a hard time getting this under my fingers until I visualized each arpeggio as three 5th's stacked a 2nd apart. In case that helps anyone else. Watch out for the tritones! There are 3 of them in the ii, IV, and vii° chords. Awesome lesson, John. Thank you!

    Oh my goodness, this is superb. I just picked up my guitar at the 5 min marker and just those first 6 notes of the arpeggio that you show have had me inspired and practicing for the last 2 hours! This is going to give me months of material to practice. Thank you so much.

      I came for a review of a Sire S7 a couple years back, stayed for the music. John creates new backing tracks and improvs every single day for his intros. If just for listening to them alone I watch his videos every morning. John's a big fan of your playing as well, as he mentions often throughout his back catalog.

    Coming up with more open voicings of arpeggios is a super great concept. Thanks. I've got my "normal" voicings down fairly well and they can definitely sound a bit trite. Also, adding interesting scale notes such as 4th or 6th is super interesting. And of course it makes sense to add the Maj7 over a Maj7 chord, or the dominant 7th over a dominant chord.

    What I love about this is it’s arpeggios but not arpeggios. You don’t have to really worry about the “chord” anymore so much as keeping a motif harmonious with the key you’re in. I rarely play straight arpeggios but I could definitely use this in my playing.

    I've always hated "Shredding". But when you play fast, all the lines have huge emotion. Like a well bent note with great vibrato. I know! It's like your lines are a flowing river to a destination that only you know till we get there with you. I don't have enough words. I'll just say you are very appreciated.

  • @AdamGotheridge
    @AdamGotheridge 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Really cool concept and what a great tone too. I noticed something when trying to play along a bit in that it almost feels like part of that beautiful sound is how the notes overlay. Like I'm playing single notes, but yours sound like you holding down the notes. I think that's the reverb doing that, and I never really use reverb so that's a bit of a revelation to me. Thanks.

And the fact that is sweepable also is really cool or at least for me it is since I'm reasonably decent at sweeping. Also working on how each position sounds against different chords of the scale. So for me it was a great lesson 🙂

    Hi John, thanks for making this video. It's a really great exercise, I've been working on it for a couple of days now to get it under my fingers. I like the challenge to kind of remember the interval of each high note from the previous shape and then have to think of the next note in the scale.
    Do you also do something similar with other scales too? Seems like an endless supply of ideas to choose from and definitely not the typical guitar type shapes that I'm used to.
