I don't know how often you check comments on your old videos but this one really connected the dots. I have work to do but now I think I have a better course to follow. While you were presenting I was staring at my circle of fifths diagram and it was making more sense. As an FYI I picked up a Circle of Fifths decoder from Noisy Clan and I highly recommend it for people that need help like me connecting the different scale degrees. I can wear my Guitar Gate t-shirt more proudly because I understand it better that before. I hope you are doing well and I will keep an eye out for your next video. Thanks again for being a great teacher.
Now 3+ years later, I find it hard to believe that you can't recognize what note-tones are being played. When I listen to your reactions, you zero in on 3rd's and flat 7's so fast it makes my head spin. I'm playing piano for 60 years, and am always amazed at how quickly you recognize chord tones so quickly. As a barely intermediate guitar player, your insights are a big help. Playing melody lines is what a lot of piano players have done, and your constantly telling us to learn melodies on guitar, so I like hearing you preaching that. Thank you.
I'm at the point in my guitar journey where I almost understand the concept you are describing but it's juuust out of reach. I think internalizing this and getting it in my fingers is going to be the thing that pushes me to my next level. Fantastic video!
Me too, I actually really just now am focusing on memorizing all the scales so that I can start to work on this type of practice. I think the major and minor pentatonic and knowing where the roots are in all positions and then the respective major/minor pattern
I got your Udemy lessons a couple years back, and they were just what I needed to get from strumming away, to understanding the guitar and how to get music out of it. Still working on that part! Now I’m loving the Guitargate channel. You are the best teacher on the internet! I 2nd the PRS love
Fantastic lesson. Opened up so many doors. Clearly and concisely explained. I get it now, I totally get it. Thanks a million. What a great teacher you are !
One of your best lessons! It's hitting exactly the missing link of how to make sense of melodies, how to 'think melodies' and 'think chords' and not 'think key' or 'think scales'. Great video dude!
There's so much information in this lesson. This is right up my alley but it only kind of makes sense at this point. I know this is a video I'll keep coming back to as I try to unpack it all. Thanks so much, you're a great communicator.
Awesome thanks. Beginner here and played over 1-4-5 in A major after this video. Major doorway opened no pun intended. A whole new mountain range opening through the clouds. Thanks
That's a great lesson. But still hard to learn for most who are below this point in their guitar journey. I'll keep trying, because I believe in your teaching process. I love your video's on breaking down the Dead and Jerry's solos.. That's how I found you. You are very talented, and I very much appreciate you sharing your passion and knowledge!!!
Excellent video, Michael! I’ve been noodling for nearly 40 years, and found this approach immensely helpful. You *can* teach an old dog new tricks 😂 Thank you 🙂
Man this is super helpful. I already understanded this concept to an extent but this is a perfect way of explaining it, and implementing a simple, practical way to practice it. Thank you! Cheers.
Excellent lesson. Love your lessons. I agree with the guy that commented below. The missing link between playing scales and actually knowing what the hell I'm doing lol. Thanks man.
I've been plying guitar over 40 years and I canT solo to save my life. its like i have a tin ear (not really, but...) I taken tons of privates, nothing. I've spend um-teen hours watching and trying to put into practice different youtube teachers. ALL the big name youtube teachers. Decided to start learning the caged system a month or three ago. know it but cant put it into my playing yet...anyway long way of saying you're the BEST teacher bar none on here. I actually totally get what you're teaching. My biggest problem is hitting the right notes on chord changes. I have kind of a mental block when it comes to really memorizing the fret board notes on the 4th 3rd 2nd strings. this vid makes that a lot easier. You should have millions of views and 100,000s subscribers. THANK YOU
If you have a mental block on the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings try to think in terms of octaves. If you know your low E notes, they're the same as your 4th string notes up 2 frets and 2 strings down. You can think about the shape of a power chord, or if you know scales where the octave/next root is. The 4th string is already done if you know the 6th. While we're rolling along, you can use this to hop from your 5th string to your 3rd string. That all of them now minus the 2nd. A single string isn't too bad to just memorize or since we know the E( 1st and 6th) string, the 2nd string is the 5th of the 1st string. So if we play an F on the first fret of the high E, its 5th or C is right above it on the B string. The beauty of it is you might know C is the 5th of F from chord progressions, scale shapes, or studying theory, it doesn't matter where. That little bit of knowledge opens up and next bit and so on.
@@jschoma11 i kind of do that, but it still takes time to try to remember which are 2 dow /2 across, 2 down / 3 across ... then that also doesnt get me staying "in the same box" . it all comes down to memorizing the fret board, and that is what doesnt stick. i could power through it, but that doesnt me no good soloing .... thanks for the advise though
@@SD-nj1cy I would say you dont want to be confined to "boxes". Granted, I learned and played the same minor pentatonic shape for years like everyone else does. The "shapes" that will really serve you are the intervals. If I know where my 3rd and 5th degree are, it doesn't matter what the note is named, I'm in key or in the box if you prefer. You can make your own arpeggios, chords, etc.. Being able to navigate is what matters, not being intimately familiar with every street sign along the way.
I'm glad I finally got to a place where a lesson like this makes sense. Very well done! Now to play with the idea. I'm with Deon in his experience. I love your playing--not to mention your PRS. Stay Well and Rock On! I got a course of yours on Udemy.
Michael: I'm not good at saying oh this is the 3rd this is thr 6th Also Michael in the reaction videos: This is 4th, now it's 5 and 1, coming back to home :D
Lol I was thinking the same thing Although I think he’s saying he’s not good at just naming intervals offhand, but in his react videos he’s naming whole chords which I think can be very different. Like if you go from the I chord to the dominant third chord (III 7) that’s super recognizable and dramatic and that’s because the chord itself has its own color/emotion/flavor that clues you in to what chord your dealing with....and I may be good at recognizing that even if I’m not good at recognizing melodic intervals like being able to just *know* when someone plays the 1 note and then the 3rd note What I see him doing in his react vids is mostly naming the chord progression and sometimes catching a note just because it’s the obvious chord tone you would want to highlight
I took lessons from a cat been many years ago he was in a thing called up with people. He played guitar and I'll promise you the dude was unreal on the damn guitar I wish I could remember his name. Was from Colorado

Thanks for watching! Remember: the magic is in the small, simple moves :)
This is a very smart way to link the brain to the sounds. And get the feel. Thank you.

This is definitely a lesson that will help me Michael, thank you! And I am going to watch it again, but that time, with the guitar in hand.
This video just revolutionized my understanding of music.
Fantastic lesson! It sounds very melodic. Very well put together! Thanks 🙏
Very powerful lesson. Wish I’d found it all those years ago. Thank you, Mr. Palmisano!

Great lesson! I have a habit of throwing bluesy licks at things sometimes. This should make me slow down and pay attention to the chord changes.
Hey - there's a time and place for all of those licks :)
It is about phrase parallelism - contrast, tension, and release.

Awesome tutorial, thank you Michael! 🙏
You make this look so easy.
Great lesson! thanks
Super informative! Thank you sir!
Thanks!
Excellent lesson. Thanks.
Man your lessons are so helpful!
Michael: I'm not good at saying oh this is the 3rd this is thr 6th
Also Michael in the reaction videos: This is 4th, now it's 5 and 1, coming back to home
:D

I realize I am pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Louis Duncan i would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Jaden Jayson definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for since march myself :)
@Jaden Jayson Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !
Great video, just what I needed
Really good video! I've had so much use of your Udemy guitar course that I'm thinking of joining your other too :)
I'll see you there!
Great video
Great lesson!
Hi Michael! I'm new to your videos but I think they're awesome! Is that a Yamaha RBX bass in the background? Keep up the great work!
wooooow man. that was so helpful. thank you
Thank you.
My pleasure :)
I took lessons from a cat been many years ago he was in a thing called up with people. He played guitar and I'll promise you the dude was unreal on the damn guitar I wish I could remember his name. Was from Colorado
Pt 2?
Thank you :D
4:00
hi whats a good solid body electric guitar under $500
@guitargate so "mixing it up" would be hitting the 1st 3rds and 5ths of the G, C, and D chords in any random order during the progression?
Do you have your own original stuff. ? Name of your band?
That PRS Holy shit
thankyou thakn you thank you
Brilliant
This guy must be ballin' to have numerous Paul Reed Smiths!
He's sponsored.
I like that
everybody who plays like this i know has a prs. i wonder why..
Ugh, all this guitar playing sounds the same, nothing original. It's like the blues, I can listen to it for about one song and I'm good for months.
lots of bull
dum as
