    A nice combo of a player with staggering technical proficiency, but still makes the guitar seem approachable when he talks about it. He has the ability to “explain like I’m five” and also seems to not have forgotten what being a beginner or intermediate player feels like

    Some teachers (any subject you choose) can't teach - for me, at least, the teacher's attitude, temperament and voice are what m'brain uses to give or deny access. This vid went straight to the centre - playing a whole song with double stops just blew my mind and made "other stuff" fall into place - a few more things just fell into place. Grateful for this.

      do a set of strings triads + inversions every week and sing the chord tones (1-3-5; 3-5-1; 5-1-3) and play music with it, should be a good way to get them all down. from major to minor to diminished to maj7 and min7 triads.

      @@alexfvcruz oh yeah, getting ready to finish up my 14th month of learning guitar. I have the top 3 strings down pretty good with triads as I've been using them in place of chords in songs I've already learned. Getting fairly decent with strings 2/3/4 after working probably a couple of months on them. I like noodling with triads because they sound more "lead" than rhythm & it breaks up the monotony of the typical stuff you learn the first year or 2 (chords, barre chords, scales).

    I got to say something about a Squire Contemporary in red from China. Dude this guitar the quality is amazing. I bout it new to or $288.00 usd. I wasn't expecting much. The quality of the fret work a basic setup and even the quality of major parts. The pickups aren't great but not bad either. I purchased an EVH mexico grey 5150 edition. It was nowhere near this. I had to change strings. They felt cheap. The action was way too high. This one. I've always wanted to experience the fender experience. I've played a few. I only found one that felt right in the 90s. I was into the fast loud floyd diving. I just wanted to try a fender. I couldn't find one low in price. Thinking I wasn't going to like it. That's why I ordered this. Their qc department is awesome. I love the 2 post tremolo. The saddles aren't bad either. I lubed the nut and pivot points. It stays in tune. I'm blown away. The volume knob is located perfect. It's a Squire. I always thought they were like entry guitars. I'm really satisfied. I even got on Amazon and found 2 aluminum scratch plates on sale. Now I can build them and switch them out humbuckers and 3 single coils. It even has a route for the middle pickup. I was afraid it was like a bath tub body. Nope it isn't. I really am shocked no joke. The quality of their workmanship. I would put it up with the fender custom shop. The work on finish to setup all in-between frets are really perfect. I paid close to $1,000.00 on the EVH. And with this no the pickups aren't great or the tuning machines. Or the pots aren't high quality. But I've got a great platform. The tremolo is amazing. This still had factory strings. It plays like butter. My action is low no buzzing out either. And I didn't do anything but a half total turn on the truss rod. And went down about a mm on the saddles. That's it. I really do want to get a Fender still. It's gonna be a while. But I'm really satisfied with this Squire.

      A double stop is when two notes of two pitches are played at the same time.

    I was lost at 55 seconds into this video. At 1:21 he talks about barring the G and the B at the ninth fret......how? why? Where? Where did he get that from.....pull it out of thin air? Why the B....why the G???????? How does he know those are the notes or strings or whatever? Never explains how he know this or how or why we should know this. Very frustrating as a 7 month beginner.

    • @buzzsaw4671

      ive been playing for a year and it was a bit more clear for me. you should just study the major scale and making chords for each note of the scale. That is essentially what he is doing, but only with double stops which is a cool.

    Fender, I realize that guitar markets are essentially saturated, and I'm likely not going to add to my stable of two strats, three teles and the Squier my dad started me on; I'm aware that you have to open new markets with ukuleles and whatnot, but this is incredible. Subscribe button = hit.
    Please configure the algorithm to show me more like this, and not so much of the "Artist" profiles where recipients of free guitars warble on lyrically or documentarily about their struggles-um, we all have the blues, it's pretty much how we are found each other- or videos where caricatures out of SJW central casting are celebrated for smacking their strings percussively, supposedly "developing" a technique that I decided early on was not how a guitar should be played, no matter how "cool" it sounded
    I guess I'm trying to say that this is incredible and inspires me to pick up one of those Fenders (or Squier), whereas the other stuff just reminds me that I made a huge mistake 25 years ago when I cut my hair, shaved, and decided I had to be somewhere not a minute later than 8am...
