I know I may seem like a beggar, a guy who just keeps asking, but I'm a 15-year-old young man, my name is Francisco, I live in Brazil and I'm simply a beginner guitarist. I came here to ask you, can you help me with just one thing, can you give me a good and current pedalboard, I can't afford one, and when I do, it came broken, I can be honest, I want to play guitar in my church but Due to lack of money, I can't do it. you're a humble guy I know, so please can you donate me a Flamma fx200, I really like it but even though here it's at least one thousand and eight hundred reais, it's still very complicated for me and I know that your country, besides being a First world country, that is, a very good country, it is much cheaper than here, so I ask with all my heart, can you help me play for Christ, that's all I ask. The peace of Christ, I hope this message reaches the person who will help me. Amen.sorry google translate ruins a lot of words❤
@@Sacrim hopefully, I’m def going to see. Would love to freshen up a lot of my old guitar skills and learn more theory. Love his teaching methods so even if it’s pricey I have a feeling it’s worth the investment
5:17 Since Brandon didn’t want to try to help anyone here’s a couple tips to fix these problems. Try to stop messing up, the problem usually will away. You can also just not do it in the first place and you won’t have these problems. Good luck hope this helps 👍🏼
What has helped me a lot mastering bending is these tips: -Pick the note with one hand, then bend the string with the other (this really work) -When bending, bend the string to produce the desired note -When releasing, to stop the others strings from ringing out, you should not make them ring out
You need to find out what makes the unwanted string sound out. For me I realized my nails were catching onto the string above the one I was bending. All I had to do was angle my fingers away from the fretboard slightly and go lower on my finger pads to bend. Cutting nails is also a big hack for fast playing.
Actually it's a common occurance even among professional guitarist. Because you have to think of the correct fingering for the bend before it even happens, especially since he's coming out of that slide, that would be 2 notes in advance. If you had time to practice your line many times you can figure out the optimal fingering, but it gets really hard when improvising
10:04 about this, since both words come from italian the correct pronunciacion would be "Trémolo" and "Arpeggiòs" but every word gets localized obviously. We here use these pronunciations as well as the correct pronunciation for like "Andànte", "Adagiétto" and stuff like that
Brandon, still the best teach on youtube. Appreciate your content, man, and hope for more stuff. A continuation on different scales and how to train them would be amazing.
I bought the backing tracks! Thank you for making them so affordable, you're a real one. I literally went and asked my GF for an euro, cuz I had none on my account at that moment. She sent me it and I bought it.
woah I hit this ages ago, thought I would be clicking through these like "damn gotta learn that", but instead I was like "well yeah, and yup, and yeah"
I started tapping a few months ago and today I stumbled onto your channel. I started playing live recently (original music) with my drummer (childhood best friend) I started playing electric guitar 16 months ago and put in serious hours most days I play 6+hours a day. I lost a lot of time, I first picked up an acoustic in 2015 at 15 years old and if I hadn’t of been a pu**y I would of switched to electric as a teenager but I didn’t I was intimidated by all my guitar gods and a life changing crisis 2 years ago made me go for it. I’m gonna check out your channel as I catch up on wasted time. And im accepting the more complex tapping challenge, at the very least I’ll gain speed for my live playing Thanks.
I thought I was a noob, but after watching this I can honestly say that I am intermediate player because I can do everything you showed technically good 😅
For bare chords I practiced with acoustic guitar to get more strenght on my index finger. For tapping I recommend the riff from Silvera by Gojira. For trémolo picking any black metal song would be perfect but I recommend Mother North by Satyricon. I think practice with songs you likes its better 😅
Practice barring with an acoustic is brilliant Good one. Though every intermediate should have bars done in their history. But for strength and to be articulate......this tip is again BRILLIANT
Finger strength/ agility and spacial awareness (knowing where the strings are without looking) are the only things that make you a good guitar player. When you have those things, the rest comes easy
So basically, he added pinch harmonics in the last improvisation...hopefully I know how to do it but for the other guitarists who are on cigarettes or just beginners, this is a little strange 😅
I learned all this from my grandpa on my 4th day of trying, is that good guys? (not being pick me I seriously do not know how long noob to intermediate takes).
I would say tapping is niche to style. If your a metal guitarist I could see it, but I've never seen Brent Mason tap. Tremolo picking definitely falls into this category as well, and I almost want to bundle finger picking into this as well, but hybrid picking crosses into lots of styles.
Tapping and Trills are what I need to work on. This 13/8 Riff sounds awesome!!!. Besides that im kinda ego boosted cause with everything else im comfortable. Actually cool to see the time you invest actually pays of somewhat. Well besides improv. Dont care for that at all.
@BrandonDeon I checked your backing track link but the "Get Tracks" and "Download Now" buttons just redirects to the FAQ section. I've tried with a VPN as well. Can you take a look and let me know when the site is fixed?
One thing that is difficult for me are playing trills up and down the neck going from one string to another. Not picking with my right hand often if at all, primarily using my left hand. Is there a good practice routine for that? Or should I just keep doing what I do, which are doing hammer-ons and pulloffs on each string on each fret up and down the neck, top to bottom, getting faster until the transition from string to string become fluid?
2:33 why exactly is it wrong though? Is it just the fact that most people feel more comfortable that makes angling your fingers better? If i already feel completely comfortable keeping my fingers straight should i even bother changing my technique?
It's because you can end up with your fingers below the other strings, I have a cheap strato and the strings are quiet high for an electric (this is the lower I can go without having freting noise or whatever is called) so I have tu use the wrist to avoid that
There is no right or wrong. If you ask me the thumb over neck technique is better because you get a fulcrum point to bend. But if you watch the polyphia guys they always bend using the legato grip. So there's no right or wrong way. If it sounds good and feels right it's fine.

Why is this man out to get intermediate guitar players 😭😭😭
Cause they think they are good with big egos thats how u humble them
Beginners: Marty Schwartz
Intermediate: Brandon Deon
Professionals:they are the teacher themselves😂
@@gigachad7452It definitely works. I can confirm that.
Because they're on CIGARETTES
@@VodaOverMinDSince this channel I switched to cigarillos and within a week I was no longer intermediate.

@@hey9433thank you! I’m having this problem
Bruh he’s not even mad 💀
This video makes me feel like I’m decent at guitar and I like that
lol me to most of these where beginner things for me
Ok so it’s not just me that came away feeling like “wow maybe I don’t completely suck”
@@calvinbrownjr.6912 I heard if you can play guitar even basically your in the top 3% 😂
@@ravencore5348 stop you’re gonna make me cry. I’m finally good at something 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Now just leave 😡
But I'm not even mad🥱
Word
You leave
@@christopherking8603 real
He isn't mad tho
the main skill is to get addicted to cigs with out getting addicted to cigs
I been doing that for 4 years 😂
“Don’t bend with one finger" precedes to bend with one finger right after lol.
he probably did it so viewers could see that one finger better without the other getting in its way
@@someonequinof I’m sure it was. It was just funny is all.
was just about to say that. he must be on cigarettes

well sometimes you bend with one finger and sometimes you don't, you feel what im sayin?
Putting Cliffs of Dover in the same difficulty as Wake Me Up When September Ends really pisses me off.
But I’m not even mad.
Well this demonstrates that I'm not even intermediate
5:25 "dont bend with one finger"
5:35 *proceeds to bend with one finger*
That was slide bend 😊
he bent with one finger because the first note he played was played with his pointer finger
@@Queso_15. joke😑
Ahh yes, cliffs of dover. My favourite intermediate finger picking warm up song
British creature detected 🛸🛸
Same! It’s so easy a beginner could do it
easy!
improvising is the sickest thing u can do w a guitar but it's also my greatest enemy

so, im about 20 years from being an intermediate.. i think i need a cigarette
Proud to say I can do everything here... But I can't play open chords, so I'm both a beginner and an intermediate guitarist.
This feeling. I know barely any songs and can't shred but I can do most of this
I thought I was a noob, but after watching this I can honestly say that I am intermediate player because I can do everything you showed technically good 😅
brandon manages to make me pick up my guitar every time
Brandon said that its hard to play tremolo while switching strings so I played some scales like that and man thats fun
For bare chords I practiced with acoustic guitar to get more strenght on my index finger.
For tapping I recommend the riff from Silvera by Gojira.
For trémolo picking any black metal song would be perfect but I recommend Mother North by Satyricon.
I think practice with songs you likes its better 😅

Good one. Though every intermediate should have bars done in their history. But for strength and to be articulate......this tip is again BRILLIANT
i have all of these but i cant improvise at all bruh😭
cliff of dover, classic intermediate finger picking 👌
Nice troll by Brandon.
The just stop making that mistake roast cracked me tf up. Its so true.
Been binge watching your videos this morning. Great content, really like your approach. Fking hilarious also.
I really have to work on my barre chords... Thanks Brandon
Thanks really helped with what I think I need to work on just bought and upgraded to a strat after playing acoustic for a few months
Love it brandon, ♥️ We want detail videos on each of these techniques with ways to practice them,
That Electric Sunrise riff is super cool. Immediately went to grab my guitar!
(yes, I hadn't done that before... Sorry...)
Improvising over harmony still eludes me after 16 years playing.
3 words "Minor Pentatonic Scale"
X-RING!!!! I was watching finger tips for so long I never noticed!
9:53 Bro’s a gym bro
you had me at cliffs of dover XD
Plini ❤️
in the unison bends part in the tabs he plays, the last one was 9/11
nice
4:57 I was so happy he addressed my biggest issues, and his solution was, “Stop doing it.”😭
i always called unision bends "pixies bends" because i notice playing alot of the pixies they would use those types if bends alot. exceptial in "hey"
"don't use one finger to bend like some kind of lunatic" *proceeds to bend with only the index in the very next clip*
Your ability to simply complex ideas is impressive and really helpful. Thnks Brandon...
A dollar! You got me.
Impressive deadlift
I think should just practice on my fooking barre chords
Finger strength/ agility and spacial awareness (knowing where the strings are without looking) are the only things that make you a good guitar player.
When you have those things, the rest comes easy
Rakes sound more emphatic when you do it a little slower. That string percussive sound is as ASMR asf
Unison bends are hell with a Floyd Rose.
Guitar is overwhelming
Life is too short is 70 years really enough time?
Bro put cliffs of Dover fingerpicking in an intermediate category.. Okay guys wish me luck I’m about to give it a go 😅
So basically, he added pinch harmonics in the last improvisation...hopefully I know how to do it but for the other guitarists who are on cigarettes or just beginners, this is a little strange 😅
I am 10 yrs old and I just came back from Canada its awesome
Lmao bros a troll at heart. Cliffs of dover😂
*cries in acoustic*
I think you should make a video all about triads
really helpful to know what i gotta learn thanks!
Get into it
I learned all this from my grandpa on my 4th day of trying, is that good guys? (not being pick me I seriously do not know how long noob to intermediate takes).
What about hybrid picking, thumping, chicken picking and sweeping.
I do need to work on some of these things, specifically trills, tapping, and finger picking, thanks for the great advice man
8:50 is a song by Plini called 'Electric Sunrise' in case anyone was wondering.
i love how aggressive this guy is
I learned finger picking when i was 13 because i had a classical guitar teacher.
make one about pros
Brandon is 🆒 but also mean “JUST QUIT!” 😂, also the day that never comes is a great song
well i guess im almost intermediate (ive been playing 1 yr)
I'm not even mad
I ONCE CUT MY FINGERS WHILE DOING SLIDES ON THE FIRST STRING OF MY ACOUSTIC GUITAR 😢
really love your videos
Most of this stuff I learned when I first started teaching myself
13/13 ! NOICE
Btw i quit smoking havnt had a cig in close to a month
I guess now I am aproved INTERMEDIATE
Hell Yea man, that Plini tapping lead is tight!
Well, I think you’re a Nova Scotia so I’ll subscribe
I can do all of these and I’m pretty good at most of them, still could be better but it’s good to know that
I love muting, I do it when I play SMTS cause I strum the power chords with reckless abandon and will hit the other strings if I don’t mute
That palm mute wasn't even palm muting. You did more actual palm muting in the double stop bend demonstration.
10:57 Cliffs Of Dover = Intermediate?
Brandon, methinks you jest.
I believe the word you are looking for is trolling.
I’ve known some of these techniques for a long time without knowing their names.
Brandon!
Video idea.
Do a lesson on sound design!
Your guitar tone is nasty and sustains great.
Everyone wants to know the secret.
YOU'RE WELCOME!
I would say tapping is niche to style. If your a metal guitarist I could see it, but I've never seen Brent Mason tap. Tremolo picking definitely falls into this category as well, and I almost want to bundle finger picking into this as well, but hybrid picking crosses into lots of styles.
I can slide, play barre chords and bending, currently learning the scales positions so that I can improvise. Let's see how far i can go😊
Tapping and Trills are what I need to work on. This 13/8 Riff sounds awesome!!!. Besides that im kinda ego boosted cause with everything else im comfortable. Actually cool to see the time you invest actually pays of somewhat. Well besides improv. Dont care for that at all.
What was that first song you played at 0:17
I think it might be micheal jackson - beat it
sounds like a cut down version of no one knows by QOTSA
Sounds like Tush by ZZ Top to me
This is actually a brief tutorial lmao
10:50 What song?
Roy Clark could tremolo with the best of them - check him out if you’ve never heard of him. He played anything with strings 😅
9:55 bro just snuck a trap bar deadlift PR in a guitar tutorial im dead (impressive tho)
How do you get that reverb sustain you got in the pre bend section
I feel like I’m an eternal intermediate player

Try adding “bend vibrato” your way vs his way. Much easier and more comfortable doing it his way in my opinion
Hell yea i am ALMOST intermediate
I follow from thailand ❤
Very cool... obrigado!😎😎😎
