This is absolutely brilliant, one missing aid would have been a tabbing out of the exercises that you demonstrated for easier access to them for those of us who have trouble with the "difficult step" you refer to in both G and C - PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING - this is the best "language lesson" I've ever seen/heard
Thanks Marcel, Very useful to point out the "practice stops" regarding scales. Sometimes I find it hard to prioritize my practice time and I find myself just beating up the same old crap and not getting anywhere.
I'm a fiddle player who needs to up her bluegrass game, and I'm learning so much from you! You do an amazing job presenting incredibly useful, enlightening material. Depth, pace, graphics...genius. I'm SO GRATEFUL.
Hey Marcel, at the 7:10 mark you do an exercise "that might sound something like this" and then you go on to say that you need to stop right now and practice until you can do that over and over forever. Can you do a lesson on just what you are doing right there? Really break it down for us? You say it's very important to know but I'm not sure I fully understand what it is that I am supposed to memorize/comprehend. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video, your teaching style is the best! And since you shouted out the nerds... the Dorian mode doesn’t have the flatted 6th! (4:50) Just kidding, great video!
I've been playing bluegrass guitar for over 30 years. I don't know anyone, ANYONE, who speaks in these technicalities. 99.99% of the people I talk to, play with, or follow, never use this many references to theory, etc
Hey Caleb! Thanks for the compliments, I started fooling around on my brother's guitars when I was around 13. But I didn't start playing bluegrass until I was around 21!
What's it so damn hard to fake bluegrass? I've been able to fake-know what I'm doing over any other genre until I started Flatpicking. Now I accidentally have to know what I'm playing and why I'm playing it?!? Help us lazy folk with a "shortcut how to impress your friends that are better than you at guitar" video.

Tarzan like theory but make head hurt. Must watch again...and again...and again.... Tarzan like pain, too.

great original lesson! appreciate the thoughtful analysis and breakdown.
I've been doing similar things with licks but never in these strict analysis/practice steps. Seems the way to go, thanks Marcel!
THX Marcel the practice routine tip was very cool. Great lesson
Outstanding video

Wow Guy, I just found your channel. This is the GREAT stuff. Production and presentation along with the great content. Doesn't get any better.

Awesome point of view.. Really like the freedom...

Every so often I make a mistake on purpose just so people aren't intimidated by how perfect I am. Also, I swear I meant to say major sixth.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.. Marcel's wagon dragons baby
Thank you soooooo Much for sharing
Great video! Can you do some more tony rice jazzy stuff?!
That was hilarious. The Lick ala Bluegrass. Great video, thanks for posting.

Can you please tab out the exercise you do at 7 minutes? Thank you!
You are very good Marcel.I look up to you a lot.How old were you when you started?

Huh
This is completely un-understandable.
I highly recommend losing all the music terms and references, and simply demonstrate your licks
